That’s it for morning news now. Sydney cops beating anti-Israel Herzog protestors; polls showing dumb Ozzies growing support for our version of Orange Ignorance.
Gonna take a little music break……..
Mental health sure takes a beating these days

The Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, told members of the NSW Jewish community “when one Jew is hurt, all Jews feel their pain”.
I wonder what his view is about hurt Palestinians???!

So Far Right buffoon Joyce now has zero filters.
He’s gone public with the “shit-hole countries” jibe……..
So quite happy to be seamlessly identified with that other Far Right buffoon Drumpf.
Says it all really.
Oz, we have a(n expanded) problem.

South Africa was banned from the Olympics from 1964 to 1988 because it was an apartheid state.
The ICJ declared Israel to be an apartheid state, so when does its ban start?

Oz Labor 2026 is just the latest example of misplaced strategic planning trumping ethical principles.
Weak amoral policy is never the foundation for lasting success.
Instead of a well-built highway, the Oz journey is taking place on wobbly stepping stones…….

@AlboMP Is it antisemitic to ask Israel to stop desecrating Australian War Graves which were placed ~30 years before their country was invented?

I’ve been cutting my on-line news feeds
A frustrated, infuriated brain can only take so much
But when reading Nikki Savva on Lib/Nat issues I had to kill the screen when I read a ‘Lib-source’ quote:
“Taylor will be our next opposition leader, but Hastie could be our next prime minister.”
🫣🤬🤮

Are all you Coles shoppers out there in Oz, happy to shop in an environment that is monitored by facial recognition software?
That will data collect and distribute to selected paying customers all your spending details?
Are you happy about that?!?

You know what’s funny?!
It’s funny that I think, for even a millisecond, that me posting the fact that Palantir (the Trump-loving Peter Theil data-harvesting mob) now runs Coles data, will stop Ozzies from using Coles.
Isn’t that hilarious?!!!

Rumours are rife that our country will soon go through a name-change referendum.
The names being considered are:
1. Austrael
citizens - Austraelis
2. Israelia
citizens - Israelians
Hard choice eh?!
I wonder what Oz Labor will argue for?

In breaking news, latest photos from federal parliament reveal new seat-belt rules now in force.
In Andrew Hastie’s case, it’s not totally clear if this is to stop him hurting himself; or accidentally others, as they get in the way of his fall……..

Those supporting January 26 Oz Day promote how great Oz is; how lucky we are; how we should all be happy to live here.
I agree 🤗
So I’m a supporter of Oz Day.
But on Jan 1, when Federation occurred, when Oz was created.
The date Capt Phillip landed at Sydney Cove is not nationally significant.

Anyone thinking of going to the Olympics or World Cup, don't
Every country should be having a very serious think about the safety of athletes, players, officials and fans.
It's morally wrong to go and give affirmation to the regime in the US
Every day gets more disgusting, ENOUGH

Watch out for the Oz Right importing MAGA “warrior” term for our soldiers
Key differences:
Profession V Identity:
Soldier = job
Warrior = way of life
Group V Individual:
Soldier = unit-focused
Warrior =individualistic
Structure V Spirit:
Soldier = chain of command
Warrior = personal code

I say this as a life-long (so far) Labor voter
I wish Canada’s PM was Oz PM
Curtin would have backed PM Carney
Whitlam as well
Keating
But not Albanese
He’s lost me
I want a competent, ethical, awake, international statesman as our PM
Albanese is just not up to it

We have technology that allows us to witness events unfolding in Gaza since the 7 Oct 23 Hamas attack
But it seems we’re somehow potentially breaking the law if we conclude that the Israel responses have been “overkill”?
Have been extreme?
Have been horrifying?
It seems this is now anti-semetic?
