On the weekend, we found out that Israel has been desecrating Australian war graves (and the graves of Palestinians).

“They have no respect for the living, so why would they respect the dead?” Wilma says of the Israeli government.

Today, @albomp.bsky.social has brought Herzog to Australia.

Pauline Hanson once said of Cory Bernardi: 'I'm glad you're out of parliament, you wouldn't have a bloody clue’
And she described Barnaby Joyce as being as ‘useless as tits on a bull’.
So, clueless and useless seem to be the joining criteria for PHON.

'Disunity is death' – but Labor's cowed caucus has a cost too
"Disunity is death" is a phrase often used in Labor circles, but it’s rarely discussed how government unity at all costs fragments society.

lotta rich people screaming about government spending. Easy solution, Ted. Stop giving billions of our dollars to expensive schools, franking boomers, and landlords. Nothing more inflationary than free money for the rich who produce nothing but speculation and bubbles.

Get this: the Israeli president’s visit will be so divisive, according to NSW Police, that the appropriate response is to ban all public assemblies while he’s here, rather than, say, him not coming.

The muted response to the Perth bombing exposes a pattern of national indifference
A failed bomb attack in Perth on Invasion Day drew little attention from the media and public. It shows Australia has long been selective in its sense of danger.

Beware the new 'normal', it might be about to bite us
Some people just like power. Those same people enjoy sowing seeds of discord that they never have to actually solve, in order to keep it.

If Albanese allows Marles to join the Peace Board we need a motion of no confidence on the floor of Parliament.

We can not allow Albanese’s cowardice to make Australia complicit in this madness any longer.

We are firmly on the wrong side of history right now.
