On Saturday, an imam and his wife were allegedly victims of a violent hate crime — forced off the road by another car, with attackers then getting out to assault the imam/threaten his wife.

ANIC put out a statement on Sunday arvo, noting rising islamophobia.

The media is just getting to it now.

In 2024 you all combined to write and complain about the NACC's Robodebt non-investigation

Over 1000 people complained

It's time to make yourself heard again

Take 30 secs or 30 mins to write to the Adelaide Festival board about their actions

Voice your complaint

Be heard

Their core problem of course, is the Liberal party have no idea who they are

They sincerely don't

All their bluff and bullshit about "our values" and "broad church" obscures the fact that they're bitterly divided & will end up like the Victorian branch - riven by years of disputes in opposition
Keep hearing Liberals saying how they have not clearly communicated what they stand for. But what DO they stand for other than the interests of greedy old white boomers who will go to their graves in a warming world clutching onto their franking credits. And I’m a rich old white boomer. #4Corners

Beyond Dutton's loss, this is a chance for a new type of politics in Australia
The comprehensive nature of this win gives Anthony Albanese the chance to change the narrative of our politics.

When newspapers began shutting down in big numbers a decade ago, it was hoped that moving online would broaden news diversity and ownership.
Sadly, the opposite has happened, research by @australiainstitute.org.au‬ has found.

There was a conversation bw 2 women, Antoinette Lattouf & ABC's Elizabeth Green - nobody else was present - and now a group of men higher up the ABC cherry tree are telling the women they're both mistaken in what was said, even though nobody else was there but the 2 women?

The Daily Telegraph took part in a stunt in which a provocateur tried and failed to *stir up* antisemitism at an Egyptian restaurant in order to have it caught on camera.

How's this for "social cohesion"? I wonder if any politicians will bother to comment
