You get an envoy! And you get an envoy! Islamaphobia report shows envoys are not the answer to combatting racism
The landmark report on Islamophobia in Australia attributes little significance to a major Islamophobic hate crime committed on this country's doorstep by one of its citizens.

The Palestinian Co director of Oscar winning No man's land was brutally bashed by settlers last night. He called an ambulance and while he was in the ambulance, broken and bleeding the IDF dragged him out of the ambulance and now have disappeared him.

I am feeling very snubbed by the fact that not a single one of the senior people in Australian national security who I have rubbed shoulders with over the years has ever thought to cc me in an OPSEC signals chat about a forthcoming military operation.

I’ve got a piece up at Crikey today on the NDIS. There’s been a concerted campaign to attack the NDIS in recent months, and it’s been massively dishonest www.crikey.com.au/2025/01/24/b...
No, the NDIS is not ‘strangling’ the economy
Accusations against the NDIS are fuelled by a worldview that sees supporting the most vulnerable in our community as an unaffordable cost, while tactically ignoring the benefits.
