Well then, Tony. Why are you refusing to meet Australia's OBLIGATIONS under international law to STOP ISRAEL?

Day 391
For the second year in a row the Munich Security Conference ended with something very apparent.
Europe no longer trusts America.
In anything.
The president can no longer claim to be leader of the ‘free world’.
This could take generations to repair.
If at all.
You are all caught up.

So residential property should only grow roughly by inflation and population increase each year.
Rental prices should remain relatively stable expressed as a return on capital value.
There should be no windfall profits generated from residential housing as housing is a basic human need. #auspol

We'll say it again: "social cohesion", to those who chant it, means maintenance of the status quo which privileges them, and silencing of everyone else. In the mouth of a Labor MP, it is an expression of the deepest hypocrisy.

They should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Now the police are saying they have concerns about how his visit will cause “significant animosity”.
