Since Monday's police brutality, Minns and his commissioner have added a new term to the Orwellian lexicon: "context".
We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

If the NSW government has any interest in maintaining faith with its own public, it will ask the DPP to investigate police actions on Monday night without NSW Police involvement, with a view to prosecuting the cops who committed assaults. Or it can carry on blaming the victims; Minns' choice.

Inviting Herzog was "yet another act of political management, divorced from any understanding of the wider context of ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing — or of the many, many Australian Jews who are strongly opposed to the crimes of the Netanyahu regime"
Australia needs a leader. It's not Albo.

Inviting the Israeli president to Australia was another act of political management by Anthony Albanese — one we’re all paying the price for, writes Bernard Keane.
Albanese is a manager, not a leader, and it's inflicting real damage on the country
Anthony Albanese is all about political management, not genuine leadership. And his instinct merely to manage and not lead is inflicting serious harm on our social fabric.

Israel is erasing Palestinians in every way they can:
ethnic cleansing
detention and torture
destroying infrastructure
denial of aid, and
thermobaric weapons.
When President Herzog visits Parliament today, any MP or Senator who attends is complicit with genocide.

Netenyahu has repeatedly stated that he won’t ever allow a two state solution.
He’s ridding the land of its historical native inhabitants to ensure it’s only a population of his choosing. It’s a horrific ethnic cleansing regime.
