3AW's Tom Elliott chastising those who dare to link fossil fuels to an increase in bushfires, because 'fossil fuels weren't around in Captain Cook's day and there were still bushfires'. Sadly, I know people who say he's 'actually really smart', but then they say the same thing about Sam Newman.

When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

The hate groups provisions in the hate speech bill are deeply flawed. They still exclude advocating genocide from the definition of hate crimes, and they will be open to misuse to target peaceful activist groups because of political influence. They shouldn't be passed into law in their current form.
