Anyway back to the Segal report on antisemitism. The foreword mentions hate-filled chants outside the Sydney Opera House - wasn't this disproven? After initial investigations by Antoinette Lattouf and Cam Wilson at @crikey.com.au? And then the ABC unfairly dismissed Lattouf later that same month?

This misleading headline claims "Jewish groups back antisemitism report, while critics warn of curbs on free speech". Yet the critics quoted here are Jewish too. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

never thought I'd hear politicians talk so explicitly about re-entry. also I'm not sure he should be labouring this metaphor coz I don't think there's public consensus that getting back together with your ex is a wise move

Labor has 93 seats at current count and the Coalition 43 - but broken up, the various blues look pretty paltry

Greens overtook the Liberals for the first time in my electorate this year (Footscray and metro west). It's still safely Labor this time but cool to see the 2PP flip, and a +6.48 swing to the Greens and +1.95 to the Socialists.

Good Weekend revealed last week that Advance ran 7 social media channels to campaign against the Voice. From 2018 to 2024, Advance collected more than $30 million, mostly from mining barons and the like. The leadership is pretty much all "retired" Liberals.

Seems like she was schtupping Madonna, Angelina Jolie and Ione Skye all in roughly the same time (mid 90s). Madonna would fly her to Paris for just a night; Skye says her safeword was 'London' ✈️

Freelance rates at The Age & SMH have dropped 59% in the last 20 years. Last year a gorgeous joint strike of staff + freelancers pushed management to negotiate with freelancers but since then they've stonewalled us. Sign our petition: www.megaphone.org.au/petitions/fr... @withmeaa.bsky.social

FAIR RATES FOR FREELANCERS AT NINE 🧵
I first wrote for The Age in 2019. I was paid about 50c per word - half the rate that the paper was paying freelancers back in the early 2000s.

I'm at the Melbourne rally now and MEAA is the only labour union with flags here as far as I can see. So necessary given the harm of media disinfo - as one sign here says, "a lot of journos have our blood on their hands"
