Now the Boorloo Invasion Day bombing has been declared a terror attack, it highlights just how sick Sussan Ley, Joshua Frydenberg and their allies are.
I haven't heard a word out of them. No banged lecterns. No crocodile tears.
Voters see it, no wonder the polls are in free-fall. #auspol

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

unpaywalled link to that AFR article on zionist screening of Biennale artists and exhibits. That the headline co-opts Indigenous Palestinian belonging and hopes for their homelands - olive groves and peace - to describe pro-Israel grievance campaigns is especially vile.
