Make no mistake. This nonsense about Antifa is directly tied to the 2026 and 2028 elections. It’s the “crisis” they will use as justification to shut down key voting centers.

NSW Premier Chris Minns has rejected calls to light up the Sydney Opera House in the colours of the Palestinian flag as he did for Israel. Says it could be “inflaming the situation”

We can't prevent violence against women and children without telling every man, unequivocally, that he is not entitled to use alcohol as an excuse for his choice to not examine the real source of his impotent rage.

We can’t prevent violence against women and children without tackling men’s heavy alcohol use.

Women and kids often pay a heavy price when men drink. Our gender violence plan should reflect this

To all those who comment about subsidies for renewable energy, what are your thoughts on the $500,000,000 we taxpayers will fork over to bail out Glencore, who paid $0 tax in Oz, but posted a record profit? At least with renewable we are buying cheap endless energy security.

Maurizio Lazzarato argues that the shape of the next phase of history will not be determined economically, like an exchange between contractors, but only by forces capable of entering the strategic plane of the friend-enemy relation.

Single frame. Scale. On one side of scale, weighing heavily, a small gold weight marked “OCT 7 2023”. On the other side, much lighter, a huge bag (of sand?) marked “EVERY DAY SINCE.”
