How is it that in 2026 any child in Australia should be vulnerable to being detained, humiliated, abused, by the state or territory that should be protecting them? How could we possibly tolerate this without the loudest protest, especially noting that almost 100% of these children are first nations?

War is the major neo-con “industry”. Death and destruction are their trademark. Mainstream media cooperate and enable. We, the people, must use alternative and social media, plus collective action and voting power, to resist this in every way possible, if only for the sake of future generations.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

I remember how the “shock and awe” of the US attack on Iraq ended in decades of broken cities, broken people and broken promises. Trump’s and Netanyahu’s bombs today can only produce more of this in Iran. Australia must reject this illegal attack.

The leaders, so-called, of our world DO NOT CARE ABOUT CHILDREN. Caring about their own "kids" is simply an extension of their narcissism. "Care" becomes genuine ONLY when it extends well beyond your garden gate - and applies to all of humanity, not just your "tribe". We need a care revolution.
