NSW police APPROVED a neo nazi rally outside NSW parliament on 8 Nov. The rally called for the abolition of the Jewish lobby and openly advocated for white supremacy. Who in their right mind approved this? Are they still employed?

Read Brian Toohey's "Oyster, The Story of the Australian Secret Intellegent Service". Written from what is on the public record and never repudiated by those named. Hawke comes off terribly as a traitor and CIA plant.

The pushback on diversified and individualised solar and wind power challenges the power and wealth of a few. No matter that it is a more efficient, earth friendly and democratic way of generating and distributing power. Remembering "no blood for oil".

If you want young politicians who are trying to keep a family together while travelling extensively, these are the costs. Do we want septo and octogenarians governing us like the gerontocracy in the US? In the scheme of things $1M is very little to keep real human beings running for office.
