In the aftermath of Port Arthur, the ALP put politics aside to unite with PM Howard on gun reform. It unified us and helped us heal.

After the Bondi tragedy, the LNP instead pounce to politicise it via Trumpian divisiveness for desperate political points

This is EXACTLY why we voted them out, AUS

Maybe young people's views on Israel have also been "misinformed" by:
- the UN
- Amnesty International
- Israeli human rights agencies
- Gaza journalists
- the vast majority of genocide scholars.

Patronizing Clinton's support for an apartheid genocidal rogue state is 'informed' by AIPAC bribes.

"describing the far right, some media outlets reach for softening descriptors such as 'populist', 'controversial' or 'anti-establishment', avoiding more accurate terms like 'racist' or 'authoritarian'."

Notable how media often described One Nation as "racist" in the early days.
But now... #auspol

Kerry O'Brien on courageous Palestinian journalists and the murder of so many by Israel is remarkable.

Because almost no-one in our craven mainstream media has ever said it publicly.

"no reasonable citizen of the world has been able to look away", says O'Brien.

But too many journos do just that.

In 1975, Australia lost more than a Prime Minister — it lost its independence. The CIA’s hidden hand in Whitlam’s dismissal still echoes today.
