When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

It may not have changed anything, but if AF had had people with actual arts experience on their Board they may have been somewhat more aware of what has happened with the sector in the last 18 months.

AUKUS has tied Australia to a sinking nuclear defence enterprise called the United Kingdom. It’s not just a retired UK Admiral, the UK Audit office has tracked the structural failures for years. But don’t worry, Marles and Meade say it’s “on track” - they are dangerously deluded

A question for fearless journos out there to put to Australia's political leaders. Why do we have > $300 billion to attempt to buy submarines but not enough $ to pay more fire fighters & support staff & to buy more urgently needed firefighting equipment, so we have sufficient resources when needed?!

Despite everything we’ve seen over the past two years, this is probably the most shameful episode in Australian media history/ political collusion.
The lead story on the SMH is Albanese’s political opponent, who lost his seat, trying to force the government to back his own pick for a RC. Madness.

It’s incredibly disturbing that so many Australian institutions and leaders can reproduce vicious assertions without evidence about the link between Palestinian rights campaigns and the Bondi killings, then use these assertions to ban people from public discourse.

To be clear: these terrorists were not Arabs, not acting on behalf of Palestinians, radicalised by Islamic State, who oppose the cause of Palestinian self-determination.
Their antisemitic ideology and its murderous conclusion is not - cannot be - connected to pro-Palestinian activism.

This is why we desperately need new Jewish institutions, and orgs like @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social are so important.
The Bondi atrocity was committed by Indian men inspired by ISIS, a group who are emphatically not allies of Palestine.
The parties here want to obscure this to their own ends.

'Simply unprecedented': Israel banning dozens of charities from Gaza
The Israeli government says the organisations have not met new requirements, which include recognising Israel as a Jewish and democratic state and banning any so-called "de-legitimisation" of Israel.
