Man, I bet the NRA is going to be furious when they hear that jack-booted thugs from the federal government executed a law-abiding citizen for exercising his Second Amendment right to carry a handgun.
Any second now, I'm sure.
He was a white guy, if that helps?

All gun violence is not equal:
Bondi = gun violence resulting in six different mourning events, new laws suppressing free speech, and an invitation to a genocidal political leader of a foreign country
Lake Cargelligo = gun violence resulting in complete silence

January 26 is not a date of Australian tradition - it’s a choice. It’s a choice that was made by govts, and it’s a choice that’s been changed before, so why can’t it change again? ...it wasn’t until 1994 that all states and territories across Australia landed on the national holiday on 26 January.
Some call it Australia Day. We call it Survival Day.

Maybe while the Federal LNP ‘opp'n’ is in shambles, the upcoming scheduled parliamentary sitting would be a good time for the ALP to, I don’t know, use it’s super majority to push through tax & social welfare reforms (& chat w/ the Greens/Ind)? But that’s asking a lot isn’t it b/c, vested interests.

I think sadly it’s much more complicated than that. We aren’t just dealing with one man, we are dealing with a highly organised network who will just install their next replacement.
As long as Trump remains POTUS, nobody can take the US seriously.
Nobody can make any agreement with the US.
The US has become out of bounds.
In the long run, this madness will be vewry costly for the US.
Don't US republicans understand that?
Are they merely cowards?

Australian officials are currently trying to scheme up ways to sneak the president of Israel into the country for a visit without him getting confronted by massive anti-genocide protests.

The very idea that the Zionist Lobbyists funded the First Nation's No vote, but manipulated the Seagull to have her own voice (for supposed anti-Semitism) to Parliament is one of the most reprehensible and despicable displays of racism I have encountered in Australia.
Why couldn't you ram things through for us instead of asking the #Racists if they think we should have rights in our own country, @australianlabor.bsky.social and @albomp.bsky.social?
Yes but the Zionista lobbyists pain is worser, more serious, more deeper and more anything than what anybody else has ever suffered in the history of the universe.
