Beyond belief that this group could be funded by the TAS state government. Imagine if we discovered that there were other allegations about them.

It’s getting cold and Ranin is pregnant and has a one year old. If you can help her winterize her tent it would be appreciated
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ranin. Ranin was a teacher before this. Ranin had two children Misk, 2 and Sanad, 1 but she lost sweet little Misk. Ranin is also pregnant and her tent was flooded this week. She has a new fundraiser and could really use help.

Oh, so now it's fine to have a war on Christmas
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

This Labor party is rotten to the core. Imagine saying kids are too young to understand what they’re reading online but old enough to spend the rest of their lives in prison if they commit a violent crime. It’s demented. But what both policies share is an extreme need to control and punish kids.

“That means courts will treat these children like adults” is a sentence the premier actually used. Proposing life sentences for 14-16 year olds is evil. Meanwhile the federal government is banning kids the same age from social media. Too young to post online but not to serve life in prison.
These reforms violate human rights obligations, contradict the evidence and will be devastating for children and young people in conflict with the law.

Standing outside, facing barricades and a broad line of armed police, those protesting the very presence of the arms conference in Sydney view it is anything but. Continue reading...
