‘‘Other’ is a key word in this: a politics that first creates a social other and then promises its active subordination. Progressive politics, by contrast remains a collection of others combined to pursue some notion of a common good.’

Anyone else heartily sick of the horrendously violent extremists' attacks in Australia being blamed on anyone opposed to Israel?
Israel is a pariah state. The alleged ISIS sympathising attackers were vile criminals. Both things are true.
Criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza is not antisemitic.

Australia must stand with the courageous Ukrainian people as they defend their country against Putin's unprovoked Russian invasion. Russia must withdraw from all Ukrainian territories, incl. from Crimea, and pay reparations. 🇦🇺 🇺🇦 🌻 #IStandWithUkraine #SlavaUkraini

Why do we as Australians chose to have expensive childcare, higher education and over stressed healthcare system? We can tax our resources and easily fund all these things. But we don’t. We give it away tax free and suffer the higher prices ourselves.

'In a system of mandatory voting, a candidate for the prime ministership has to persuade the electorate that he or she will be a better choice than the opponent. And a candidate doesn’t achieve that by merely fanning public grievance and proposing grudge-based solutions.'

The politics of grievance was a winner for Trump. It’s not working for Dutton
Excited by dominance in meaningless midterm polls, misled by the false analogy of Trump’s political success, the Coalition allowed itself to think it could win without doing the work required.

As Trump fucks Australia and our farmers with his tariffs, let’s not forget which side of politics here backed him during his election campaign, even sending staff over to help him.

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?
