I can not get past Australia’s very generously publicly funded Special Envoy for Combatting Antisemitism reciting social cohesion to advance zionist agenda when her husband and brother in law are among the biggest donors to Advance.
How grotesque. At a time where we need positive political leadership that brings us together, unites us, protects our social cohesion & multiculturalism these dills seek to exploit tragedy, division and fear. Shame on them all.

The kids public primary school is 35ºC inside for the final assembly.

Meanwhile the Federal Government has been pouring literally millions and millions into private school up the road so they can build a second music room.

But not an extra cent for us.

Great to see emissions beginning to fall as more and more renewable energy enters our grid. This is what happens when you set clear targets, and back them with a robust plan—unlike the Coalition’s zero target and zero plan, which would see both emissions and the cost of energy rise.

Record output from renewable energy means emissions from coal plants are down as Australia’s greenhouse output has fallen for the first time in years.
