#AdelaideFestival cancelled writer Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah from the #AdelaideWritersFestival for "cultural sensitivity" (bc she's Palestinian).
I think it's more culturally insensitive for Zionists to give advice to AUS govt, unis or cultural orgs when Israel is murdering Palestinians. #FreePalestine

Scores of fires, many that are huge, spanning the state of Victoria. Thank you to all the firefighters, you are heroes!
No thanks to politicians that continue to ignore scientists & our evidence-based & urgent warnings about climate change, placing the lives of humans & others species at risk.

Antisemitism crisis. What is real and what is not - Michael West
Anthony Albanese has announced a Royal Commission into the Bondi Attacks and antisemitism. Is Australia's antisemitism crisis exaggerated?

How come we tell everyone else to conform when they move to Australia, but the Jewish expect their values and decisions to dominate multicultural Australia?
Comments from incumbent ministers of a federal govt,
even those of claimed Jewish descent, should be secular & unbiased.
Many Australians do not share the views of Zionists.
Australia is multi-cultural & one’s faith or absence thereof should be a private matter

Bad decision from the third umpire IMO, you could hear the click in real time and RTS showed a spike which couldn't have been anything else. But Brydon Carse? you've got a pretty big mouth for someone who's done two-third of sweet FA as a Test cricketer. Get back and bowl and shutup mate. #ashes

Sigh, here we go. Frydenberg would only be happy if either he or Netanyahu were appointed as the commissioner.
