Will we as a species ever learn?

Based on what we are seeing around the world presently, it's highly doubtful.
Well there's no surprises here! It's not like this is what most of the Tasmanian public has been saying to the government since the damn thing was proposed

Segal's anti-semitism "review" can, and should, be ignored. There has been a longstanding need for better government work on anti-racism, but this review is compromised by the fact its first recommendation suggests codifying criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. Everything else stems from that.

Standing against genocide in Gaza is not antisemitism.

It's pointing out that the Israeli government's policies of cruelty and murder are abhorrent and illegal.

The U.S.A is our most dangerous enemy.
Albo is deluded, Marles is seduced and the rest are just slurping from the trough of entitlement.

The government that the US people elected, house, senate and presidency, is planning attacks on our economy that will have a “profound” effect.

This isn’t just Trump, Americans voted for this.

Why does our government speak of the USA as an ally? A friend?

Update: Relative still in A&E 2 days after being admitted. Place still rammed.

All the Libs can do is promise new wards (taking 3-5 years to build). With no plan for the money for it or any plans on how to staff it

So much for fixing health! Relative in A&E at the LGH. No beds on wards. Waiting room packed. Patients sitting on the floor. Several cat 2 patients are still stuck waiting for a bed. Yeah, the Liberals have fixed health alright #taspol

The national security folly of #AUKUS starts to emerge. Despite increasing geopolitical instability, our current defence capability is being cut to pay for a future sub capability that will never arrive - an ’all eggs in one imaginary basket’ solution for our defence. 🤦‍♂️ #auspol

Hi Jess

I voted for you and the ALP in the recent federal election.

While I am glad that both you and the ALP won, I have to express my concern at your party's policies on several fronts.

If you're British or French, your government will treat you like an adult and explain what role your country played in the Iran strikes. Not so here in Australia, writes Bernard Keane.
What was Australia's role in Trump's attack on Iran? You're not allowed to know
Other US allies are being transparent with their people about any role their nation played in the attack on Iran. But from Australia's leaders? Crickets.

For the record @albomp.bsky.social, I do NOT support the 🍊💩 ILLEGAL attack on Iran. I do NOT support your government's decision to support this ILLEGAL action. I do NOT support your continued support of the genocidal actions by the zionist leaders of Israel.

I'd love to see Tasmania in the AFL. But there's a lot of footy people blithely dismissing the considerable objections to the insistence on a new stadium as part of the deal without bothering to understand them. They should definitely read this piece.
Tasmania in crisis over billion-dollar AFL stadium
The Tasmanian Liberal government is in crisis and a snap election likely to be called as the premier clings to plans for a stadium that will bankrupt the state.

It’s a national disgrace that ATO whistleblower Richard Boyle has been convicted under Labor for his bravery exposing, and ending, ATO wrongdoing. They are criminalising courage because truth telling is inconvenient for bad government.

So the Libs and Nats have kissed and made up.

In the interests of transparency, I'd like to see the coalition agreement.

If the Coalition members can scream and carry on about "if you don't know, vote no," the Australian people deserve to know the details of this agreement.
