Neither MUP nor the Melbourne University council even tried to save Meanjin. In fact they chose *not* to pursue offers to help save it.
They also actively ignored the advice of the independent review they commissioned into Meanjin's sustainability. They just shut it.

The idea that being far too opposed to the mass incineration of children in Palestine is somehow to blame for the mass murder enacted at Bondi is fundamentally not just absurd, illogical and indefensible: it is part of the broader project to exploit violence and death to justify even more of it

Disgraceful of Jillian Segal to use the Bondi attack to demand “acceleration” of her abhorrent recommendations & already point fingers w/out even waiting for police to uncover any details, esp when she failed to ever stand up against the worst antisemites around, the Neo Nazis.

An important piece. With dark forces already seeking to exploit this horrific event we must be extremely vigilant to avoid this: “Calls are already rising for attacks on peaceful protest, free speech and freedom of assembly”.
"While the victims of the massacre at Bondi Beach were still bleeding, Benjamin Netanyahu - architect of the genocide in Palestine - blamed Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese."

Jillian Segal the so-called anti semitism envoy and funder of hate group Advance, apparently has put out a #bondi statement equating the massive anti genocide March across the Sydney Harbour bridge months back as a cause of this terror event. She needs to resign and repay every cent to the taxpayer.

Just to cut through the backslapping: the very small emissions reduction (2%) is nowhere near enough even for our own local targets. These are also the easiest cuts (ie from local pwr generation bc we are buying solar panels) and are only in one sector.
Exported emissions are 4x bigger and growing.
