Equal Earth projection, adopted by the UN last week, an alternative to the Mercator display. The proposal by Togo, was hugely successful, 164 countries voting YES. The only “no” vote came from the US. Perhaps something to do with metres and feet, or Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion.

You can't blame Ed Sheeran for caving in to American stadium owners I suppose. I mean, take these guys in the 60s, they refused to play to racially-segregated audiences in stadiums in the southern states of the USA and who remembers them now?

Six frames. 1. Fellow with clipboard bails up woman passer-by, says, “Excuse me, I’m doing a short survey. Do you think Australia takes in too many immigrants?” 2. She says,”I don’t know. I mean, are we talking about the immigrants who look after my mother in the aged care home?” 3. She continues: “Or the ones who come here to pick fruit for low wages so we have affordable fresh produce?” 4. “Or the ones working in construction to build our housing and infrastructure?” 5. “Or those training to be the medical specialists were short of?” 6. “I really don’t know. Maybe you could ask the government. They should know.”

Mr Jeremy Leibler
President, Zionist Federation of Australia

Nick McKim
Australian Greens Senator for Tasmania
149b Macquarie St, Hobart TAS 7000
Tel: (03) 6224 8899

Dear Mr Leibler,

Thank you for your letter of 23 August. As you chose to make
your letter public, I will also be publishing this response.

Criticism of Israel is not anti-semitic. It is, as the NSW Supreme
Court recently found, legitimate political comment.

Your conflation of 'Zionist' with 'Jew' is fundamentally dishonest.
Not all Jews are Zionists, and not all Zionists are Jews. That you
would descend to such sophistry exposes the lack of foundation
in your argument.

Your implication that the tragedy of Bondi and the ensuing Royal
Commission should suppress legitimate political debate is chilling.
I do not accept that proposition.

I have, as you asked, reflected on my statement that the
Australian government is captured by Zionist interests. I offer,
as my response, the truth.

Israel is perpetrating a genocide in Gaza, and the Australian
government is complicit.

Thank you again for your letter.

Yours sincerely

Nick McKim
Australian Greens Senator for Tasmania

Josh Johnson did an interview the other week saying that now he has money, he realises how much of the senseless cruelty of capitalism is a choice. It really is rich people with too much ego destroying the lives of others to protect their own self-image because they have no internal locus of worth.

The world needs more whistleblowers and unions. Why do we feel our only recourse for survival in the present is to sell both our morality and our future. Refusal, of our participation, engagement, and labor is key to the changing the value systems which we currently inhabit.
