Albo is scamming Grayndler too. Time for one of Australia's most progressive seats to find someone to represent our values.

Albo’s Waterloo: The Clayton’s PM and the Farrellisation of Labor
“Leadership’s always been about two main things: imagination and courage.” (Paul Keating). Bernard Keane is half right. In today’s Crikey, he despairs of our PM as “a political manager, a risk-averse ...

So Minns reckons peaceful protest against genocide incites terrorism? How about this footage of his boys at work currently bouncing around the Islamic world? Indonesia? Malaysia? Thanks but no thanks for making us safe Chris....

Do. Not. Let. Them. Minimise. This.
Armed state violence against peaceful prayer is peak Islamophobia and vicious racism and. We have very few codified constitutional freedoms and this is almost certainly unconstitutional. They are officers of the law.

Extraordinary footage. Police pulling off people engaged in peaceful prayer.

Minns must explain the bashing of Muslim men in prayer to Indonesia - our near neighbour, the world's biggest Islamic nation and a country yet to recognise the existence of Israel. He and Albo have done terrible harm to our national security in the service of sugar-coating #genocide.

Pathetic low in #ABC "fake balance" journalism. The vaunted Nick Bryant platforms admirer of Abbott history, the vanilla Frank Bongiorno, with rabid islamophobe John Anderson. Vacuous convo ensues. Not a word on inequality, tech, misinformation etc..

Why One Nation is surging in the polls - ABC listen
Pauline Hanson's One Nation is enjoying the kind of public support it hasn't seen since its formation in the 1990s.
Is this a blip or a more permanent shift in Australian politics?

Ranter reckons this spectacular piece of sculpture outside the MCA should be permanent. Current plans will see it removed in April. It's dramatic, speaks to the current crazy moment and perfectly complements the MCA architecture. I love it and don't want to see it go.

A man threw a bomb into the crowd at an #InvasionDay rally in Perth on 26Jan. The device contained explosive liquid, ball bearings and screws. Fortunately it did not explode. Could ABC News' headline make a greater effort to undersell the seriousness of this attack?! THIS is also terrorism. #auspol

Social cohesion and the sacred teachings of Netanyahuism's Australian disciples requires ABC i) accords an airtime value of 1000 Palestinian = 1 Israeli life lost. ii) Always mentions HAMAS Oct 7 atrocity. iii) Never mentions history, dispossession, genocide.

Can't help noticing Matt Golding's latest cartoon (below) was published on The Age's letters page, but not in its Sydney Morning Herald counterpart.
Given the latter's 'coverage' (for want of a better word) of #bondibeach, I'm not surprised.
