IMHO antisemitism doesn’t need any special recognition within the Australian regulatory system. And criticism of Israel IS NOT criticism of Judaism.

“Why did a regulator surrender its independence in a joint statement with a politician’s envoy?” I don’t need to be told by outsiders how to behave towards others. Australian governments and their agencies already have the legal means to deal with racism and hate speech.

It was actually worse than that. Australia’s first run on the board was an extra, a no ball, so really it was Bangladesh who gifted Australia their first run and it took Australia another three balls before they scored off the bat.

I think the government’s default position is scared, bordering on paranoia, derived from hanging on to the US/Uk apron strings for too long.

Increasing and applying gas export royalties would help pay the cost of this plan and may even allow the government to cut the price of petrol even further

National Press Club platforming Israeli ambassador - knowing IDF killed 250+ journalists - for lunch chat. In the same week Israel admits doctoring Lebanese journalist image after murder. Disgraceful & dystopian yet somehow still shamelessly in full view, to be broadcast on ABC

He is not “is to be deported”. The story is that AB’s FAILED THE ‘CHARACTER’ TEST, likely because of the parameters of the character test rather than any other reason, and despite his background has been given a chance to apply to the minister for a partner visa. Blame Scott Morrison. I do…

Australia’s biggest gas producers are cashing in on the conflict in the Middle East and the suspension of Qatari LNG production, which has disrupted global supply, with deals struck at more than double recent market rates.

Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader on Wednesday for the sale of an LNG cargo at about $US25 ($35) per million British thermal units (MMBtu), according to market sources, who were not authorised to speak publicly.

The NSW Police have no problems forcing Pro-Palestinian and, climate protesters to the courts before protests can go ahead without Police harassment. On the other hand, neo-Nazi rally gets the go ahead without raising an eyebrow or waking the Premier. Is the problem police powers or police bias?
