The @Greens’ recent rhetoric has crossed a line, weaponising Zionism and veering into antisemitism. As a member of Melbourne’s Jewish community, I’ve seen the pain this causes my family and friends. Thankfully Australians are pushing back.

The Greens crossed a line and Australians pushed back
For a political party that always claims the moral high ground, the Greens, in a cynical chase for votes, abandoned the very principles they claim to champion.

The program was incredible.

I bore witness to the atrocities of Oct 7, heard testimony from survivors & was moved to tears over & over again.

I survived a Houthi ballistic missile attack & met an amazing group of Jewish & non-Jewish people.

Thanks to the Houthis, I had an unscheduled 4am wake up call this morning.

Thankfully the Israeli Air Force intercepted the missile attack but it was a sobering moment noting that that last time they did this, it was day after day after day b/w 3am & 4am to disrupt people's lives.

An early morning walk before my day & meetings begin.

I can't help but to now truly appreciate how much October 7 has changed Israel's soul. Everywhere you go it's about returning the hostages. There will be no moving forward until there is closure.

Just taking some time out to appreciate how good Bumrah is.

We are very lucky to have him bowling on our shore.

World's best bowler.

What Victoria must now do to keep Jewish people safe in Melbourne
The Allan government must now enforce existing laws, reform the permit system for protests, and prosecute hate speech.

Last Friday night was school formal for Asha.

She looked amazing and had a great time out and when I picked her up at 2am, she was surprisingly good.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't nearly as responsible back in the day 🤣

For some time now, I've been hyper critical of the @RBAInfo's monetary policy with specific focus on interest rates. In particular, I have repeatedly said they're using a demand side sledgehammer for a supply side problem. This sums it up nicely #auspol

Memo to RBA: If wages growth isn’t the problem, then what is?
The Reserve Bank of Australia is worried excessive growth in wages is keeping inflation above its target zone. But there’s absolutely no sign of that happening.
