There were cops present, watching & listening to the nazis as they broke laws around hate speech & inciting hate. Were they instructed not to intervene .... with bats, pepper spray & arrests .... like they do with climate change or anti genocide protesters??
What instructions were they given ??

The corruption going on in plain sight is nothing short of astounding. This looks like a pay off for not using all the power of the US presidency to not destroy a business.

This is brilliant. Philanthropists really helping people end their homelessness.
These women built their first homes for under $120k. Here’s how they did it
A Facebook post offering women $55,000 to build their first home looked like a scam. But 15 women took the chance to go from homeless to home owner.

The Morrison and then Albanese governments have provided next to no rationale for the huge #AUKUS commitment.

The strategic objectives, the cost-benefit, the likelihood of delivery...all are dodgy at best.

The revolving door between government jobs and the defence industry is especially problematic when we see massive contracts awarded without due process.

My CleanUp Politics Act would close that door & stop senior public servants & politicians using insider knowledge in their post-politics careers.
