Zionism needs to be completely rooted out of Australian society.
It fosters hate and seeks to undermine Australian domestic politics by forcing the will of the Israeli govt on our society.

The warming climate is killing Australia’s forest trees at a faster rate. This offers a glimpse of what may lie ahead for forests globally.
Yes, forest trees die of old age. But the warming climate is killing them faster

In the immediate aftermath of the Bondi Beach atrocity, there are questions about what security services knew, and whether gun laws are fit for purpose, writes Bernard Keane.
In the wake of a Sydney atrocity, there are questions for those charged with protecting us
While we reel from the Bondi terrorist atrocity that killed 15 innocent people celebrating Hanukkah, there are serious questions for our intelligence and security officials — and our politicians — about how it happened.

Whatever else it can do, this tech adds work and erodes trust. The extra work is time-wasting and wearying, and I resent the erosion of trust most deeply. I cannot believe it is healthy for society to be ever less sure that anything you encounter is the real thought or expression of a fellow human
I spend so much time verifying everything now from art to cited sources to photos to historical references to citations to quotes to legal and medical information that it's really hard to fathom how much work AI has collectively added to the world, not reduced
Here's the reality this example illustrates:
It's not even just about people blindly trusting what ChatGPT tells them. LLMs are poisoning the entire information ecosystem. You can't even necessarily trust that the citations in a published paper are real (or a search engine's descriptions of them).
