Incredibly craven stuff by the AFR in their editorial.
Happy to crackdown on all speech except don’t take away our right to be anti-immigration.

Thank you Greens for helping speed up approvals for the business community 🙏🏽

Even enviro groups, who are notoriously cowardly and weak, think this bill sucks. All the Greens are doing if they vote for it is telegraphing to Labor they are terrified of standing up to them, and taking one of their key issues off the table for this term of parliament. Pathway to 5% of the vote.

Incredible stuff here from the Nine papers to combine “I don’t have strong feelings but I accept the fact we have purchased these submarines” with “support”.

I found the original Cheek Media most to be incoherent and very weird, but a federal politician being bullied by the far-right into unliking an Instagram post, and putting a media release out about it, is a grim reflection on who controls discourse and culture right now.

Breathtaking stuff from Zoe Daniel in The Guardian, accusing the Greens of promoting the hate and division that fuelled the far-right.

This is laughable from the ABC. The only “analysis” published so far on the March — 90% handwringing about Bob Katter vs a journalist, then these completely pathetic paragraphs at the end.

Genius policing here. Ended up with both groups metres away from each other in front of parliament.

Hamas never congratulated Albanese. This was a manufactured story published The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age that has been debunked.
But the damage is done - it’s now the basis for a diplomatic assault from Netanyahu against Albanese.

The ABC and Fairfax used to exist as a kind of alternative to News Corp dominance. Now they are increasingly subsidiaries.

This clarification is amazing. If you knew the statement was from his office and he was in prison, why did you not disclose that? Why did you imply you had communicated with him?
If you didn’t know that… why not?

Tbh the Greens should be mildly worried about this. If Ferguson runs a Teal-ish vehicle at the next election, contesting the NSW senate, their candidate (presumably Shoebridge?) is probably the most likely in trouble.

This is hilariously ridiculous. For two years Albanese has been saying Australia isn't a serious player in the Middle East and everyone pressuring the government to do more needs to chill out.
Now the government is backgrounding about us reconstructing Gaza!

Does Zoe Daniel actually believe this nonsense or is she trying to win Goldstein back? Recognition isn’t about Hamas, Palestinians have been rightfully demanding it for 70 years. This line is just Netanyahu propaganda. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

It’s crazy what political journalists will grant anonymity for. This is a Labor MP, defending his government and attacking its opponents. Why does it need to be anonymous? Because they don’t want to be on the record opposing statehood?

Deeply funny and embarrassing for SMH to use “woke culture” un-ironically like this.

The ABC can't even write a piece about the forced starvation of Gaza and how it is killing journalists *they rely on* without republishing totally unverified IDF propaganda about Hamas members allegedly eating... bananas.

This is the most colonial ass shit. Health, education is crumbling in this country but we’re spending billions to re-industrialise US shipyards

Extraordinary an ABC journalist is allowed to ask absurd, leading questions like this. You'd think it would raise more questions except being this pro-Israel is exactly why journalists like this are hired.

A Labor party that hates people who protest alongside unions or to end the forced starvation in Gaza. Real heroes here.

It’s very weird to read entire articles on declining birth rates that don’t actually bother explaining why it’s inherently bad. Ie, why was a higher birth rate 10,20,30 years ago “better”?
Is this actually a problem? Or only if you are a racist?
