Our crumbling social cohesion is blowback from a very Australian hypocrisy
The myth of social cohesion is that immigrants 'bring foreign conflicts' to Australia. They don't, and can't, but we take conflicts to them — courtesy of our American overlords.

'On the Beach.' (1869) Winslow Homer is considered the most important American painter of the second half of the 19thC. He was one of the first American artists to focus on the theme of bathers on the beach, which had been made fashionable by Boudin in Paris in the mid-1860s.

“Fuck the poor! Fuck the poor!”

That’s how the March for Billionaires kicked off on February 7 in Pacific Heights, one of San Francisco’s wealthiest neighborhoods, near a stretch of mansions known as Billionaires’ Row.

We went to see whether the event was satire or sincere. The answer was… yes.

Out of thousands of generations before us, you are alive at the moment humanity captures its first photograph of a sunset on another world.
This isn’t an illustration or a simulation this is a real image of a Martian sunset, taken from the surface of Mars.

Angus Taylor might be hoping the old John Howard trick of high migration while being tough on borders will keep working. He shouldn’t count on it, writes Bernard Keane.
Taylor snares himself in Dutton's migration trap — because without migrants, we're f***ed
Angus Taylor faces the same problem as Peter Dutton on migration: you can scare voters about who's coming in, but what about demands to cut migration altogether?

"What most distinguishes the present Supreme Court is not merely its conservatism, or even its willingness to roll back settled rights. It is the degree to which the conservative majority appears severed from shared facts altogether. This is not accidental." www.liberalcurrents.com/the-supreme-...
