So as everyone kind of knew, when Chris Minns talked about cracking down on protests and gatherings, he really meant specifically pro-Palestine and anti-mass-murder protests: racist, white nationalist protests (probably attended by neo-nazi anti-semites) are completely fucking fine

its weird how some people don't have to "assimilate into Australian culture" and can continue to have their primary allegiance to a foreign power and some can't. I wonder what the difference is?

One week after Australia’s worst mass shooting attack since the Port Arthur massacre in 1996, questions about how the accused father-son duo stayed under the radar of intelligence agencies remain unanswered.

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

UPDATE: in September, Luigi's bogus terrorism charges were dropped and he was cleared off all terroristic allegations. Today, the judge ruled the interrogation of Luigi Mangione inadmissible due to failure of police to Mirandize him and Luigi's repeated statements that he did not wish to talk.
