Labor and the LNP demand that we have social cohesion in Australia, and then constantly manufacture fights about everything to ensure that they hit the news cycle and are seen to be 'relevant'
Apparently it's called 'leadership'
Would be good if a journo could ask them about that

But you know, it’d be nice if we could have rationally considered policy based on its merits rather than political gamesmanship.

Whether or not the #Coalition's concerns are legitimate, almost all are the result of their decision to push #Labor to move quickly. #Albanese has plunged the #Coalition back into rabble and chaos. #Ley's leadership position is as tenuous as ever. #Auspol

Whoever is advising South Australia Premier Peter Malinauskas on his pressers: stop! Increasingly, Malinauskas comes across as a smug, entitled, defiant unapologetic pro-Zionist thug. All with a South Australia state election coming up. I hope the Zionist lobby is paying him well. 😠 #auspol

"The words and slogans that politicians are examining neither promote hate nor incite violence against Jews. They simply call for resistance against Israel’s occupation of Palestinian land and Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians."

Banning slogans won’t build social cohesion
After Bondi, New South Wales politicians want to ban words and slogans. But rushed laws could punish political speech, not protect the public.

Just before anyone rushes into or away from this have we checked what the sports stars want?
Following that we need to check with Fraudenberg.
Finally, permission will have to be sought from Newscorpse.

This should be more obvious to everyone, but we cannot let the people comfortable with the mass slaughter of children further shape our culture, our democracies, our future as a species. It's the path to a depraved fascistic hellhole.

Even while having access to all history and watching genocide - in the palms of our hands - it’s still not stopped. Media hasn’t played its vital role - politicians are weak and bought - and we’ve not participated in democracy to the levels required #auspol

I'm seeing reports coming in from people in fire areas and/or with friends/family who live in fire areas. These glimpses make it so real and personal. Social media is often rightly criticised but, at times like this, that connectivity is so valuable. Information sharing. Support.
