Giving Jillian Segal even more influence over Australian policy when she still hasn't denounced far-right group "Advance" (which she bankrolls) is extremely poor governing.

It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance".
She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate.

Such an important piece. Save it. Sums up everything many of us are feeling. I’ve never been as disappointed in Australian media outlets as I am now. Especially the ABC.

NEW: Without USAID funding to help buy food for refugees, the World Food Program rushed to prioritize families based on need, determining that only half the population would get food.
Refugees learned which half they were in from a number stamped on the back of their ration card.

You can’t get much cuter than Jax! 🥰 But I know how you feel. I’ve posted lots of photos of my baby, even on caturday, and the most likes she’s gotten is 16, I think, with hardly any comments. I‘ve stopped posting her pictures. Have no idea why people don’t like her.

If you’re an Australian politician or activist using the Bondi terror attack to provoke hate towards immigrants, while also opposing quite clearly necessary gun law reform, we see you! Shame!

At a minimum, please wear a well-fitting mask in airports and on planes, and in healthcare settings. If people did this, COVID transmission would fall demonstrably. It’s not that hard, and it’s not all or nothing. It’s also not just a cold—it’s an organ-damaging virus.
It’s been six years since the first reported case of SARSCov2.
It’s never too late to wear a mask.
It’s never too late to clean the air.
Every infection avoided or delayed is a win for long term health.
We can drastically reduce transmission if everyone does their part.

One reason why any healthy democracy needs at least two relatively healthy political parties where each sometimes wins an election, and neither destroys the democratic system when it does, is that winning elections is hard.
The idea that everyone who ever lost an election is stupid is not correct.
