When we look back at Palestinian genocide in history books we must not just see the moment of loudness at the end but the months of silence, excuses and complicity that came first.
We need to learn from this, not just applaud breadcrumbs that arrive when bodies are too malnourished to digest them.

Check out this cool and totally random book on climate change I found on the shelf while out and about today that I've never ever seen before.
You should buy it for your primary school aged children!

Also - our preferential voting system is a beautiful thing to be defended to the death.
Forget any “optional preference” etc or worse.
A system where everyone’s vote matters is glorious

A very good thing. Those who can’t cope with the ALP and LNP not getting all the first preference votes need to learn to count past 2.
Good news for Australian politics and society.

To Western media,
Is it time now to use the term 'genocide' or 'ethnic cleansing'? As we watch the definition of these words play out live in front of our eyes?
What is the use of these words if we only speak them to diagnose a disease once the body is already dead from it.

Peter Dutton says he'll never stand in front of an Aboriginal flag as prime minister. I think we should make his wish come true by not allowing him to be PM. You're welcome, Peter.

Imagine if this "debate" we are about to see on housing included comments from parties proposing the most potentially impactful housing policies instead of just the two majors.
We have a preferential system. We need to know our preferences beyond the two major parties. Let's act like it. #auspol
