Four active protesters from mining town of Chiatura got one of the most severe sentences among imprisoned protesters yesterday. This is a grave example of a pressure on a social protest of people who protest to improve their living and work conditions.

For the past 25 years there has never been a national security law that has done anything other than to give more power to cops and spooks and to ministers to stifle anyone who disagrees with the status quo.

Let elite private schools gouge parents as much as they want – those who crave the status of that school will find ways to pay it
That is the definition of a private school. They should receive ZERO PUBLIC DOLLARS and ALL government schools funding should go to public schools

Rich private schools are gouging parents with huge fee increases while also pocketing millions a year in govt money – yet 98% of public schools don’t get their minimum funding.
Should Labor be pouring billions a year into the private system while public schools are underfunded?

In Albo's new antisemitism bill, the definition of "hate crime", which underpins the new regime to proscribe "hate groups" like the Nazis, specifically excludes "advocating genocide". That is, advocating genocide is treated as not being a racist hate crime. Now, why would that be?

I may be entirely mistaken but it seems likely a lot of people are being wrongly led to believe a person is linked to terrorism, or has approved of terrorism, or was intending to use 'hateful rhetoric', and a competent defamation lawyer might like to take this one for a light gallop.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

The Royal Commission absolutely needs to examine the malignant influence the Israeli govt and its lobbyists have on Australian media (and government policy)
Just saw this. What utter bullshit. The Israel lobby are devoted to destroying the livelihoods of anyone who does not share their love of genocide.

Imagine if they had that same urgency for First Nations deaths in custody or women killed by men.
