2/ The protest slogan "From The River To The Sea, Palestine Will Be Free" is no more a threat to Australian Jews' safety than "Marriage Equality Now" is a threat to heterosexuals.

1/ Israel does not universally represent Jews any more than the military regime of Burma represents Buddhists. Zionism does not represent Judaism any more than Evangelicalism represents Christianity.

The best that can be hoped for under present circumstances is a Labor Government reliant on the Greens and Independents for a working majority. #auspol
Australian election 2025: Status quo or what?
Voting in federal or state elections has invariably posed a dilemma ever since my family and I qualified as citizens almost a quarter-century ago, at a ceremony where we were handed out miniature editions of the New Testament alongside the sausage sandwiches.

1/ Don't let *Fear of Dutton* cause you to accidently give Labor a majority when you didn't need to. Minority should be the aim. How preferential voting plays out after 1st preferences is confusing & learning more about the system & your options is time consuming (& beyond unfun!). I get it...

If you want context for Labor's weapons trade with Israel & support for their genocidal State propaganda, I encourage peeps to search Mark Leibler's name on Michael West's website. His influence is disturbing & it's been going on for decades. michaelwest.com.au/australia-zi...

Social media is a public space. No one who "puts themselves out there" gives up their right to be protected in public spaces from harassment & hate speech. And people who perpetrate it should be held accountable as they would if they did it on the street.

No Albanese & Wong. What's happening in Gaza is not a "tragedy". It's an atrocity. And dropping a massive tonnage of bombs on a population of unarmed civilians trapped on a small piece of land, with no protected air space is not "conflict", it's slaughter. Ur persistent mis framing is indefensible.

Slurs related to intelligence, when talking politics, can harm & isolate people who have genuine learning difficulties; did not have a good quality uninterrupted education growing up, or who struggle with English because it's not their first language.

When it comes to politics slurs related to intelligence r a huge barrier to engaging people. On top all the others. It'd be great if we stopped using them.
