You said "labor" Peter. I think you're confusing its title with its nature.
Superb @nswsocialists.bsky.social video explains: In NSW, the Chris Minns Labor Govt has done a deal with the Liberals, changing workers' compensation rights, increasing the threshold for "permanent impairment" from 15% to 25% for psychological injury! A Labor Govt did this. 😠 #nswpol #WorkersRights

At least 17 Palestinians were killed when damaged homes collapsed on them during winter storms in Gaza. Five children also died from hypothermia in makeshift tents.

Israel continues to block the entry of reconstruction materials and emergency shelters. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

"The idea that any criticism of Israel and the Israeli government – including through protests, social media posts, or boycotts – are inherently antisemitic is a total fallacy. No government is beyond reproach."

Agreed. Ley's outbursts are unforgivable. I mean it literally. Cannot ever be forgiven. Her slur of Wong is despicable. And she is causing this division for purely self-centred political lust, trying to hold off LNP right and the Hanson/Joyce clique.
I disagree with much Albo's Labor Govt has said, done, and failed to do.

But I am utterly disgusted and genuinely horrified by the vomitous unfair attacks by the Coalition and the mainstream news media since the #BondiBeachTerrorAttack #auspol #IStandWithAlbo

Jillian Segal's plan:
• criticism of Israel is anti-semitic
• Segal: power to withhold govt funding from unis & arts groups that "fail to act against anti-semitism"
• IHRA anti-semitism definition to be used in schools
• Segal monitors media
• ABF deport anyone who criticised Israel

And failed politician Frydenberg does great harm to a broad solidarity against hate crime by blaming deaths on anyone not condemning government. His outbursts ARE political and ARE very, very harmful.
After a staged performance & blaming the PM for the actions of #Bondi attackers, Josh Frydenberg snaps at the question on everyone’s mind.
Sarah Ferguson “How do we not see this through a political lens?”
Frydenberg, having already personalised blame, can’t handle it #abc730

Will the Australian mainstream news media (I'm thinking esp. Ch7 and Ch9) do a report on how Pauline Hanson and James Ashby took advice from the NRA on how to water-down Australia's gun laws in exchange for donations from the gun industry? 🤔 #auspol #BondiBeach #GunLaws

If the last three days demonstrate one thing, it's that the right (via the media) controls the narrative in this country.

Or, as Matt Golding puts it:

And this failed politician is corrupting community revulsion and solidarity by seeking prominence and obscene personal advantage.
A man who has abjectedly failed the test of leadership at the first hurdle.

In the past, trying to revive your political career off the back of a massacre might be viewed as tasteless...
