The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.

I'd like to formally register my support for what Credlin has the chutzpah to refer to as Cathy Wilcox's "expletive-laden rant".

Under the circumstances, Cathy was very restrained. #IStandWithCathyWilcox

After Bondi, calls for a Royal Commission appeared overnight, delivered by rotating groups using identical language. That is astroturfing, a PR tactic that simulates grassroots demand to manufacture urgency, crowd out scrutiny, and lock in policy before evidence is tested. More on YT

The Albanese government is paying a bikie gang hundreds of millions to keep ~100 asylum seekers on Nauru, an island of ~12000 people, about the size of Tullamarine airport. They can’t work, can’t afford decent food, and can’t access proper healthcare.

Gambling ruins lives. It is absolutely unacceptable that the Albanese government will continue to choose vested interests over the wellbeing of Australians and hide behind a watered-down policy - if they ever introduce one. We need action on gambling harms now.

The ban is bad policy and it's clear not enough has been done to prepare young people and their families about what is about to happen. Where are the education packages and support that were promised? Just telling kids to log off and go touch grass is not going to cut it!

The original March for Humanity on the harbour bridge in Sydney was planned for Sun Aug 3, 2025

After the Minns govt took the protest orgs to the NSW Supreme Court, it was held on Sun Aug 31, 2025

But please let's hear again about weekend dates not registering as an issue for the Minns govt

🧐
Copy of a tweet from Eddy Jokovich showing a screenshot from the Guardian with a side photo of NSW Premier Chris Minns. Headline reads: State politics Minns says his office possibly not notified of neo-Nazi rally because it was held on the weekend. Eddie Jokovich's tweet reads: How much bullshit does Minns expect us to believe? Pro-Palestine rallies are scrutinised across every inch of their actions. Why did the Nazi rally proceed? #auspol
