John Menadue - "Albanese told us that we need to lower the temperature. But it is Anthony Albanese who has raised the temperature with his scant concern for the murder of over 70,000 Palestinians...in fact the number murdered at the hands of Israel and the IDF maybe as high as 240,000."
John Menadue: “The Australian government’s response to Gaza, and its handling of President Isaac Herzog’s visit, has blurred line between antisemitism and criticism of Israel. The result is deeper division, weaker democracy and greater risk to Jewish communities.” johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02....

Today, under the cover of the Liberals tearing each other down, Labor has approved another coal mine extension.

Extending Middlemount to 2044 means Labor has now approved 35 fossil fuel projects.

In the middle of the climate crisis, they're approving more coal & gas.

In the 2022 census, almost 10 million Australians reported having no religion. I assume this is a core belief and an Australian value. #auspol

Now, imagine the Commander wearing that pin is the HEAD of the Operations Support Group.

He is the HEAD OF CROWD CONTROL at major public events.

In addition to his role on Monday, I'd like to know his role in turning around 250k people marching across the bridge last year.

I really wish more people would read this.

Australia's unemployment benefits are the lowest in the OECD.

The government claims that this is to encourage people to get a job and lowers unemployment.

Studies have shown that this is bullshit (quelle surprise)

Does the Australian government raise more money from beer than it does from the tax on our gas exports?

YES

And the look on their faces is priceless.

"...the 5% deposit guarantee sent investors storming into the market trying to get in before the first home buyers. Those investors remain in the market."

Meanwhile, the richest 1% (ie those investors) will snort up 59% ($12.9B) from the CGT trough in 2025/26.

Will Labor do anything? Nah.

I think I'm too disgusted to be amused. But oh the irony. Hang your heads #auspol media.
Sadly amusing that it took Haaretz to pick up on this line by Albanese

"Protests turn violent" incorrect, the protests were peaceful. The Minns government backed police violently attacked protesters using pepper spray as they corralled people into smaller and smaller areas.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
