Fingers crossed Zoe Daniel has another run in Goldstein.

No one deserves Wilson representing them for anything.

I am surprised by how much mainstream media goes out of their way to avoid any mention of Zionists' political clout.
Or even their lobbying activities.

We'll know there's been a change in climate when #4Corners investigates the role and connections of the Israel lobby.

Including Ms Segal.

The AUKUS agreement has now been in place for 4 years. During that time both the US & UK have undertaken reviews of its progress. With the Albanese govt now admitting its South Australian submarine base will cost at least $30bn, it's well past time Australia undertook its own AUKUS review.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

bothsidesing again from Speers. Apparently Albanese was criticised from “the right” for his response to the Chabad shooting and from “the left” for inviting Herzog here. In fact the RC campaign and the Herzog invite were orchestrated by the pro-Israel lobby.

we saw quite the protest, says Speers. Clashes between police and protestors, he calls police brutality, predictably. The angle chosen is NSW “protest” laws. He means the public assembly restriction declaration.
