@senatorthorpe.bsky.social should be commended for proposing amendments to the hatespeech bill that acknowledged the fact that criticism of the actions of the state of Israel or the IDF or Zionism is NOT a criticism of Jewish people and it's not antisemitic. These amendments were rejected! 😲 #auspol

Seriously, WHEREVER you are in the world, I recommend watching all of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s powerful & already famous speech at Davos.
Can’t underestimate its leadership importance.
Key line: “Middle powers must work together, because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”

Scoop: One of the first acts of Australia's new anti-corruption watchdog, NACC, was to carry out $30 million of office fit-outs.
It was only when staff were preparing the agency's first annual report that they realised the project broke laws meant to fight... corruption.

Labor has teamed up with the Liberals with a last minute deal to pass dangerous new laws limiting speech and political expression. The Greens condemn the major parties for rushing through these laws that will have real impacts on people trying to speak out for human rights and against genocide.

Also something that the Australian political and media establishment refuses to acknowledge: the existence of anti-Zionist, pro-Palestine Jews.
Whenever mainstream media talks glibly of "the Jewish community", they are excluding those who absolutely oppose the Israel lobby.

Yes. Zionism is a political position.
Like fascism or communism or socialism or liberalism or libertarianism.
It's an "ism". And it can be opposed. Criticised.
