He may put a lid on antisemitism temporarily, but it will be at the expense of broader social cohesion

All these things can be true:
1. Antisemitism is on the rise in Australia
2. It is still less of a problem than in many European countries
3. Netanyahu and Liberals are weaponising the issue for political ends
4. Albo is limited in what he can do to stop it

Election debates have been getting duller and less informative every cycle
The format needs to change
Imagine all parties involved in a round robin of 1-on-1 debates
The candidates ask the questions and really push their opponent instead of bland journo questions
That is entertainment

1. The headline mentions that Guilfoyle is a Fox News host, but not that she is engaged to Don Jr. A far more relevant fact
2. Wondering if they will be moving the embassy from Athens to the Greek Islands to better suit their lifestyle

Amazing how people can screw this country up over and over and yet keep getting invited back to advise government
On Allen's "business council" there is the usual assortment of big business and billionaires
How about a small business owner, sole trader, union rep or homeless person?

There must be some really bad polling coming out of Bradfield for Fletcher to jump ship
And another 'moderate' bites the dust with his seat likely to go to another Pentecostal
Pushing the Libs further to the right

The Liberal party are consistently taking the side of racists in making minority groups less safe in Australia
The Greens and Labor are not great, but at least they are not actively trying to destroy social cohesion
But the LNP seem willing to burn the country down to win back government

I would love it if Paul Fletcher could point to the major reforms brought about by 'stable' majority government in #auspol
Is he talking about
-Tax reform
-Environmental law
-Mining royalties
etc
As far as I can tell the only real reform (NDIS, price on carbon) were due to the 2010 minority govt

The idea that name recall of MPs that left parliament over 30 years ago deliver any electoral benefit is moronic

Kylie Tink's colour was pink
And other candidates had slightly different shades of teal/blue (see below)
It is almost like they are independent of each other...
If only there were a word to describe that sort of politician

This stupid misdirection is the problem
We spend so much time and effort fighting what doesn't matter
So when the ALP-LNP coalition screw us over we don't fight it
Focus on what matters
-Fix health
-Fund schools
-Build houses
-Tax multinationals
Everything else is a distraction

Honestly, this is what passes for journalistic analysis?
Who gives a crap where she lives. It will have zero impact on anything that goes on in the White House.
It is focusing on trivialities over policy that lets really horrible politicians into parliament.
