All Labor politicians from the past 13 years at least should apologise for their being part of their party's 100% parliamentary support of & now execution of Neoliberal Fascism

That would be a start

“Albo stares down the hard left” and Minns doesn’t “show rebel MP’s the door” says the Murdoch rag.
The Labor party would split apart if action is taken against brave principled MPs who oppose genocide and war crimes. We need more “rebels” and less cowed, spineless jelly backs!

Sophie Scamps MP:
"At the very time the Government is welcoming President Herzog into Parliament House, with the entrance being officially lined with Israeli flags, Israel is moving to extend the illegal occupation of the West Bank thus undermining the hope for a two-state solution."

I find the British insularity as frightening as the American

They are discussing Trump as if he were a president, with a limited 4 year term

Maybe it is only from the antipodean wilderness that the bleedin obvious shows itself

Or this particular antipodean is in a delusion echo chamber

Just a remarkably stupid person.
TRUMP: We can grow at 15 percent. I think more than that!

KUDLOW: Well, 15 is a big number sir

TRUMP: But Larry, you can do it. We used to grow at 15 percent because we had spirit. Today we have a lot of communism

NSW Premier Chris Minns' egregious, undemocratic, authoritarian and unnecessary NSW "anti-protest laws clearly violate international law".

NSW anti-protest laws were rushed through to keep the peace. They’ve failed
NSW is now one of the most draconian anti-protest jurisdictions in the democratic world, with anti-protest rules that violate international law.

A key point conveniently overlooked:

"The Israeli president [said] he is visiting Australia ... not only to ... honour #Bondi victims & support Jewish Australians, but to defend Israel’s conduct in #Palestine. He has deliberately politicised his visit.

"Protest is to be expected."
