Chile has elected a president who openly admires Pinochet. Ariel Dorfman writes that Kast’s victory reflects deep unease – and a dangerous belief that democracy can no longer deliver. #Chile #Democracy #Authoritarianism #Pinochet
Chile swerves to the right and into the past
José Antonio Kast’s election marks the first time since Chile’s return to democracy that an admirer of the dictatorship has reached the presidency. The implications run deep.

China is not a military threat to Australia. Acting as a proxy for an aggressive and declining US hegemony is the real danger, writes John Menadue. #auspol #China #AUKUS #IndoPacific
China has neither the intent nor the capability to attack us
Australia faces no credible military threat from China. The real danger lies in uncritical alignment with US strategy, fear-driven rhetoric and the steady erosion of national sovereignty.

The Coalition is correct: we need a royal commission in the wake of the Bondi atrocity. And Home Affairs should be its main target — its constant failings may have contributed to this nightmare.

Australia’s school attendance crisis needs urgent national action
School attendance has been sliding for more than a decade, with more than a million Australian students now missing significant classroom time. Governments have set ambitious targets to reverse the trend, but meeting them will require a fundamental shift in approach.

I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

In normal circumstances most Australians think about people being Jewish as much as they think about people being Presbyterian, it’s mostly of little interest.
