Yes, Australia has a Zionist Stasi equivalent & the number of organisations & individuals who cower in response contradicts our self belief in our “democratic” “egalitarianism.” Exposure of those responsible is urgent. No one gets to hide behind such covert bullying.

“But the fact the government landed the deal with Sarah Hanson Young — and does not fear the electoral consequences of doing so — points to an erosion in the resource industry's ability to set the political terms. This is no small thing.” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

The Liberals are dead and the rot will kill its moderates. What next?
With the Liberals facing terminal structural problems, and News Corp sticking the boot in, what are the solutions? A new party is hard work, which leaves only two real options.

Labor's shifting views on Gaza leave a trail of mixed messages and abandoned tactics
As the evidence of genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing in the West Bank has grown, Labor has had to adjust its position or risk being left behind by allies and the electorate.

'Background use only': How Labor justifies its silence on Gaza to the media
Labor's response yesterday to mass starvation in Gaza was to condemn a Greens senator for mentioning it. Then it tried to spin itself as the victim.

Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social I am deeply disturbed by the Zionist agenda being pushed by your Govt's Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal. The Australian Federal Court has ruled that opposing Zionism and criticising Israel's genocide in Gaza is NOT anti-Semitic. I agree with Dr Max Kaiser. 👇 #auspol

Among some rather alarming sentences in the special envoy’s plan to combat antisemitism is this on the first page: “In February 2025, ASIO Director General Mike Burgess declared antisemitism Australia’s leading threat to life.” To LIFE!?!

Good point! I think they are still responding to the cues they used as candidates. And as we know Labor has “managed” the whole climate change debate. With access to greater information let’s see if they evolve from quiet, know your place, newbies.
