Chris Minns rightly getting slammed at the protest against the illegal closure of Divine Playhouse for his cowardly abrogation of leadership as Heaps Gay and the Queer community were under attack from an orchestrated campaign by radical conservative Christians.

Gareth Evans telling it like it is, namely AUKUS is: “more likely than not to prove one of the worst defence and foreign policy decisions our country has made” www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/defence/2026/07/25/case-against-aukus

The case against AUKUS
As this week’s ALP National Conference will confirm, the Albanese government remains strongly wedded to the AUKUS nuclear-propelled submarine project. But the project was misconceived from the outset ...

Instead of waiting until 2027 for "advice", maybe Labor could follow advice from its own 2020 Senate report that rejected the anti-intellectual & inequitable scheme as creating an "Americanised education system characterised by high levels of private debt". And get rid of it. As promised. In 2022.

Linda Reynolds is astonishingly blind to the fact that it is her own actions that trashed her reputation. Suing and bankrupting a young woman she concedes was raped in her office consigned her forever to infamy as a truly terrible person, something of we're reminded every time she whines to the Oz.
