We are delighted and relieved by Justice Kennett’s decision this afternoon, which is a significant step forward for our side, and places real restrictions on the applicants’ ability to conduct Zionist lawfare against us. @marquelawyers.com.au

The current state of NSW protest laws is what you get when politicians combine laziness with false urgency
NSW Supreme Court ruling shows Minns' moral panic is no basis for policymaking
NSW’s protest laws are, charitably, a mess.

David Marr’s hatchet job of Chris Hedges last night was appalling. Marr often conducts interviews as though he thinks he’s in a Year 10 debating competition - he doesn’t actually care about what’s being said and nor does he want to fight injustice. A master class in complacency. Terrible.
Wow. David Marr's interview with Pulitzer-prize winning journalist Chris Hedges is extraordinary. And not in a good way.

Media release: the massive public response to John Keane and my crowdfunding appeal, for which we are enormously grateful, shows that people reject the Israel lobby’s slur that support for Palestine is antisemitic. We will never allow Zionists to bully us into silence.

It's started. With John Keane and some of our fantastic legal team after the first hearing of the Zionist lawfare case against us at the Federal Court of Australia. Zionists are suing us for 'race hate' because we're opposing a genocide. We'll be launching crowdfunding soon.

Earlier this year, John Keane and I invited the AHRC to terminate the Zionist ‘lawfare’ complaint of 'racial hatred' against us. We are pleased that this has now happened. The complainants must now decide whether they are prepared to risk testing their foolish allegations before the Federal Court.

Pretty shocking abuse of basic governance processes at Sydney University: in its haste to appease the pro-Israel lobby, management falsely claimed that the Academic Board had endorsed a new Zionist-friendly antisemitism definition. Great work by Alex McKinnon uncovering this.
