The Jewish Council calls on the re-elected Albanese government to immediately sanction Israel and comply with our obligations under the Genocide Convention and international law. This includes cutting all economic, military and diplomatic ties with Israel.

Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court provides that "deportation or forcible transfer of population" is a crime against humanity. Australia is a party to the Rome Statute and obliged to enforce its provisions. Trump's plan to remove the population of Gaza is criminal.

“When a ceasefire is announced, I will just run. No one ask me where. I myself don’t even know. I will just run, and run.

The two Australian case studies in the Five Eyes release today about youth radicalisation are both white supremacist/far right radicalisation examples... The spy agencies tend to be a bit reluctant to call this out in isolation because of the politics around it. www.asio.gov.au/system/files...
Australia – case study 1 The Joint Counter Terrorism Team (JCTT) investigated a minor (who was 16 years at the time of offending) following initial reporting they were mobilising to commit an act of ideologically motivated violent extremism (IMVE). JCTTs exist in all states and territories of Australia and consist of the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the relevant State or Territory Police, the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) and, in New South Wales (NSW), the NSW Crime Commission. The minor was part of a loosely connected online network involving hundreds of local and international participants, some of whom shared similar IMVE ideologies. The minor was sharing IMVE documents, images and videos, and advocating for attacks on persons of non-Caucasian appearance, and urged others to prepare for an upcoming race war to ‘defend the white race’. This included discussing carrying out a mass killing offshore, posting about live-streaming a shooting on Facebook, requesting assistance in bomb-making, praising mass shooters, and suggesting the targeting of ‘high profile enemies’. During the JCTT investigation, the minor was observed to have very few real-world relationships which consisted primarily of work colleagues and family members. He did not participate in any extra-curricular activities and appeared to spend limited time socialising offline. The risk of the minor undertaking some form of physical attack was assessed as too great, so the AFP moved to overt resolution. The minor was charged with advocating terrorism and urging violence against members or groups. The arrest of the minor and dissemination of intelligence to international partners also led to the arrest of a person of interest offshore who had links to the minor’s Telegram posting. The minor was sentenced to an 18-month term of imprisonment with a non-parole period of 14 months. Upon sentence expiry, the minor was an adult and was released into the community on an Interim Control Or…

I know it's not ~funny~ funny but it's very funny to me that a BANK thinks it is very hard to do cash. Which, no doubt, it is. But you're a BANK. I know most of your business these days is in binary code but you're a BANK. Those 1s and 0s represent actual money belonging to actual people.

This all-consuming book has been out for a month, as of yesterday, and is off to be reprinted. I have been too scared to ask for numbers, but I know people are buying and reading it. Thank you. The best feedback is a review like this one because it was my exact hope for this thing. Don't stop now!
A book cover with red and white mind-bending blocks where people try to scramble up ladders that go nowhere. It feels like an optical-illusion. The book is called Mean Streak: A moral vacuum and a multi-billion dollar government shakedown by Rick Morton. 5.0 ***** essential reading for all citizens, everywhere SJ • 3 weeks ago this is the only comprehensive & coherent dissection of the the most egregious public service corruption that has ever happened in australia any lingering confusion I had about the mechanics of robodebt has been put to bed. the author's intricate yet demystifying explanations demonstrate exactly how the public service & government pulled it off; every detail from the outset laid bare. this book should be mandatory reading for all public servants & prescribed text for any tertiary study even remotely linked to public policy. the author's narration is magnificent: clear, easy on the ears, perfect inflection throughout. this is book of the year, the decade. it's right up top with some of my lifetime favourites.
