Antisemitism Envoy admits she 'wasn't focused on' unequal protections in 'hate laws' seeking to protect only one religion. The bias isn't a bug it's a feature.

The head of the State of Israel is making a very public visit to Australia.
Visa considerations include if someone is implicated in war crimes and genocide.

The paradox of political art under fascism is that it is asked to compensate for a failed political opposition while, at the same time, bland statements like "we should be nice to each other" or "I should be allowed to exist" come to be seen as radical and therefore sufficient.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

I know you all know this, but all Australians should go compare how the police are treating peaceful protestors tonight vs how they treated the white supremacist who tried to pipebomb Aboriginal speakers in Boorloo Perth. Tells you everything.

I asked the Attorney General's Department (the chief legal agency) multiple times if Isaac Herzog has legal immunity even for the most heinous crimes of war crimes and complicity in genocide.
Again and again they refused to answer saying they would not provide legal advice.

Your government is grotesquely complicit, Australia. But you don't need to be. In times of atrocity, you have a moral obligation to dissent and resist. I learnt this through Holocaust education (somewhat ironic, nowadays). This is where protests start. Free Palestine, free us all

Australia risks becoming an “artless country” if it does not address the long-term decline in enrolments in creative courses, with more than 40 courses and degrees axed in less than a decade.
New research published in the Australian Journal of Education this week found fewer students in high school and university were choosing to study the creative arts. At the same time, it found, dozens of tertiary courses were being slashed. Continue reading...
