This was never a war
It was & is a genocide

Israel has lost the moral right to exist

ALL illegal settlements post 1974 must be returned to the Palestinians they were stolen from

Israel MUST pay reconstruction costs for Gaza & give up all those with arrest warrants for war crime trials

They don’t have a large indigenous population 80% of whom are on life-long welfare in remote camps they can employ and lift out of cycles of poverty?

How is it better indigineous Australians stay in remote areas without ever the hope of being employed other than a small % in make-work schemes?

Labor pledged to save $6.4bn through cutting the government's use of consultants and external labour, and yet here they are forking out more. The government's focus must be on rebuilding the public service for core work functions.

And to “fix” the problem they create, we have to destroy beautiful neighbourhoods, fill them with ugly “developments” , lower building standards, and bulldoze native animal habitat - oh and import more people to build for the more people

Make. It. STOP

Sustainable population policy

One of very few economists who aren’t lying
We are importing far more people than we can build houses for - that pushes up property prices

Pretty simple. But do you think any “Labor” politicians will admit it? Greens magical thinkers won’t either

They all do the bidding of big biz

Govts across the world expanding airports and passenger numbers saying they will use bio fuels like ethanol

But these bio fuels will actually Increase Carbon Emissions and spur massive deforestation

The ‘Green’ Aviation Fuel That Would Increase Carbon Emissions

The U.S. agriculture lobby has long promoted ethanol for cars. If President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” becomes law, the industry would be given tax credits for producing crop-based fuel for planes, ...

So push for a sustainable population policy, forever growth continues to push housing demand, therefore push up rents and housing prices

Impoverishing workers, locking them out of housing

If you don’t advocate for a sustainable population you aren’t serious on housing

Be a Green Party

I wish the Manchester synagogue attack never happened. I also feel weird even talking about it while dozens of Palestinians are killed today whose individual names I’ll never know and whose individual deaths I’ll never see decried in western media headlines.

Take a look at the pictures of Crowded House’s concert at the Opera House.

This is just blatant political interference by a NSW Police Commissioner.

She must immediately stand aside her objections, or resign.

Completely silent on the Israeli state’s targeted terror attacks killing dozens of journalists, dozens of aid workers, hundreds of medical staff and tens of thousands of women & children.

Even former gambling execs are calling for action on gambling ads.

Good to hear the Minister is restarting talks on reform, but what’s needed is courage from the PM to take on vested interests & pursue a complete ban on ads - just as the Murphy Review recommended.

Virtually no country or political party will heed her advice
Across the political spectrum from left to right
Everyone of them put economic development before nature
That is why nature is collapsing
This is a fatal mistake that will render Earth uninhabitable for eons

They need to stop importing people en-masse just to pump corporate profits.

Sustainable population for the UK is less than the current population, not more.

They also need to fund family planning and female education in high population growth countries as a matter of priority re foreign aid.

They need to commit to a sustainable population policy, not enviro destructive forever “growth” to appease corporations.

I personally will never tell Palestinians what deals they should accept or what they should do to address their abuse at the hands of the empire. My job as a westerner is to oppose the western empire that is butchering them, not to finger-wag and moralize at the empire's victims.

If you commit to a sustainable population policy - that will by definition:

Lower rents
Lower housing prices
Lower hospital wait times
Improve native animal outcomes
Decrease homelessness
Cap our emissions

Demand and supply are actual things

Be a Green Party again.
