“Zionism—Christian & Jewish—is the ideology now driving genocide. Modern Zionism is a continuation of Western colonialism—the use of violence to subdue & dominate other populations, chiefly to control their resources—but with the benefit of a “moral” cover story.”

In Gaza, Western colonialism has been unmasked
Through Israel and the ideology of Zionism, Western elites reinvented their ugly, racist system of control and sold it as a moral cause. Now the game is up.

FTR, @australia.theguardian.com. Exhibits A, B and C.

Your hypocrisy in publishing Daniela Gavshon's "opinion" is galling.

We can be anti-fascist without being Islamophobic or anti-sematic.

“tens of thousands of people who will march across the Harbour Bridge tomorrow are crying out for moral leadership. It is a time for all of us, including those in positions of power, to do everything they can to halt an active genocide and stand with the people of Gaza." @sarahschwartz.bsky.social

The Netanyahu Government now rivals the Putin Government in its arrogance and actions. If it moves and it is Islamic; blast it. Syria's best chance at stability is apparently a threat to Israel's security. Piss off!

We always hear that farmers will be smashed by the super tax changes.

But last year ASFA noted that "The reality is quite different"
"nothing to do with primary production or the only connection is owning a boutique winery that is run at a tax loss." 😬
www.superannuation.asn.au/wp-content/u...
The characteristics of those who would pay Division 296 taxation Some public commentary tends to suggest that the main categories of individuals impacted by the proposed tax are current and retired farmers and elderly widows who like to punt big on tech stocks. The reality is quite different. It would be much more accurate to categorise those more commonly affected by the proposed tax as being older wealthy males living in affluent areas of capital cities or affluent retirement regions who have never had anything to do with primary production or the only connection is owning a boutique winery that is run at a tax loss. The ATO sample of individual taxpayer data can be used to estimate the characteristics of those would be affected by the new tax as the unit record data includes both superannuation balance and other demographic and financial data. ASFA analysis of that data indicates that in terms of national split of those likely to be affected, around 40 per cent of the total affected are female and 60 per cent male. Those affected are relatively old, with 85 per cent aged over 60 with 46 per cent aged over 70. As such many of the group would be receiving tax free income from superannuation and currently tax free investment earnings on their superannuation balance up to the level of the Transfer Balance Cap. However, not all are retired, with around 30 per cent receiving wage and salary income, and with around 5 per cent having wage and salary income over $200,000 a year. Around 5 per cent of those with over $3 million in superannuation have farm income either direct or through trust or partnership distribution, but in many cases it is not substantial, with other income received. At least some of those with farm income live in inner capital cities and could be described as Pitt Street or Collins Street farmers.

The ABC is maintaining the cosy fiction that the Liberals and Nationals are still "the Opposition".
The only thing they'll be effectively opposing in the next few years is each other.

The real opposition - in terms of robust policy debates - will come from Greens and community independents. #auspol

Jobs for mates affiliated with the QLD LNP are in full swing with the appointment of 3 LNP donors & members to the TAFE Queensland Board

There wld be only one reason for this - they are going to start axing funding for TAFE to siphon it off for their “special” ventures.

U can’t trust the LNP. Ever

Tim Wilson should have as prominent role in the Liberal Party as possible going forward. You should build your whole brand around his self-effacing personality and demonstrably humble selflessness. Magnetic. MAGNETIC. #4corners

If you missed 4Corners, the Liberal Party has admitted that their cruel and toxic No campaign against the Indigenous Voice which set reconciliation back a generation was aimed at beating the Albanese govt in the election. We all knew that, but it’s fascinating to hear them admit it out loud!

The absolute gall of the Nationals to be using internet connectivity as a policy condition & talking up the need for it in the bush - when it was their direct actions which caused the issues in the first place

& the negligence of the media not to point this out!! #auspol #insiders

The Israeli military is systematically using Palestinians as human shields in Gaza, several former detainees and soldiers tell the AP, though the practice is banned by a national court decision and international law.
