Electoral laws passed by the duopoly earlier this year create an uneven playing field at elections, in their favour. They undermine your voting choice and our democracy. @zoedaniel.bsky.social and I are challenging the laws in the High Court. #unconstitutional #auspol

Former independent MPs Zoe Daniel and Rex Patrick are spearheading a challenge to Albanese government donation reforms which they say entrench the dominance of major parties.

And what if the other two…the person (my first thought was a woman) who ran at Alam and the chap throwing rocks?
Definitely not a bystander. The very opposite.
A bystander tackled and disarmed one of the gunmen who targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sunday at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, video verified by The New York Times shows.

All the money, the oppressive anti-humanity legislation that undermines community confidence, isn't finding terrorists. Time for a new approach, but I'm not holding my breath. Bondi Beach gunmen confirmed as a father and son from south-west Sydney - ABC News share.google/zpe5BniFm3XQ...
Police had 'little knowledge' of Bondi father and son gunmen
Commissioner Mal Lanyon says one of the gunmen was a licensed firearms holder with six weapons legally registered to his name, as police begin a search for answers to Sunday's tragedy.

A whole couch load of middle aged, grey haired, bearded men giving us their opinions this morning across all networks. One on the ABC explaining the difference between different types of rifles…It’s these blokes who got us into this shit in the first place. Perhaps we can seek new oracles? #bondi

Everybody take a breath and wait.

Reacting to misinformation and guesses, and reacting to the ugly hypocrisy of fuckwits like Joyce, won’t serve any of us well.

I am a Muslim Australian and appalled and angered by today's Hanukkah terrorist/murder spree on Bondi Beach. This (murdering of innocent people) goes against everything Islam teaches us, and i wish i could do more to reassue Aussie Jews that you are safe and wanted in out country #Bondibeach

In the midst of the darkest of times, a hero stands up for what is right. The brutal, deliberate attack against Jewish Australians celebrating Hanukkah at #Bondi Beach today is an abomination. For those murdered while celebrating the 1st day of the Festival of Lights, may their memory be a blessing.
This guy disarming the terrorist at Bondi Beach, Australia, can only be described as hero.

Horrified by the news out of Bondi. A lot of people rightfully afraid and angry. Important to resist our worst instincts; we do not yet know the motive of the shooters. It would be irresponsible to speculate.

Praying for the victims, survivors, and the families and friends of all affected.

Waiting for consumer backlash against private schools in Vic which charge $35-50k to get worse results than free Govt schools. I hope the pools, turf wickets and dance stages are worth it? Well done teachers btw.

This is actually a really common scam these days. A scammer will call and use AI to replicate a family member’s voice and the family member will sound distressed and having an emergency so you don’t have time to think. Best thing to do is hang up and call that family member “back” to confirm.

Ukrainian Defender Valentyn Symovyniuk, 30, spent nearly six months holding a position in Luhansk region. At times, the distance between him and Russians was just two meters, and the clashes were so frequent that he asked his command to pull their group back.

The evacuation lasted a week.

If you defend Stephen & Jo Silvagni for using their wealth to suppress the naming of their son #TomSilvagni after he was charged with rape AND who are STILL claiming he's innocent after he's been convicted, DON'T FOLLOW ME. Stop defending parents who protect their rapist sons! 🤬 #justice
