Here is a question: Given #Trump has demolished the #EastWing of the #WhiteHouse, and presuming most of you don't want the big beautiful #ballroom built, what do you want to do with the site instead?

'Mass deportation' is even more repugnant than White Australia policy. It means arbitrary deportation based on racial or religious profiling; what ICE is doing in the US, if not worse. The term 'mass deportation' and the euphemistic 'remigration' must be outlawed as extremist hate speech. #auspol

Here are my predictions for the US: 1: DJT will order the suspension of the mid-term elections on the pretext of imminent foreign interference; 2: DJT will mobilize the National Guard to ensure the States and the Territories comply with the suspension; 3: The suspension will lead to civil unrest.

One of the favorite memes from One Nation supporters is, to the effect of: "Australia is turning communist!" This might appeal to Vietnamese refugees and the like, but would not work on the vast majority of Australians who know that Australia is not even remotely close to becoming communist. #auspol

So the Southern Baptist Convention has banned women pastors, because 'The Bible says so'. But then the Bible also says that slaves shall submit to their masters; the SBC might as well endorse slavery. Which was exactly why the SBC was founded in the first place.

What I find interesting about the US Department of War recognized religions is this: It categorizes Christianity into many faiths, even on the new shortened list. But it has never categorized Buddhism into Theravada, Mahayana & Vajrayana; and it has never categorized Islam into Sunni, Shia, etc..

Crucially, though, compulsory voting places the onus on making voting accessible to all onto the state. It is basically the antithesis of what's happening in, for example, the USA, where the state can actively limit the capacity of the voters they don’t want voting to get to a voting booth. 4/9

The evidences presented to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism are very traumatic not only to Jews, but also to other ethnic groups and Indigenous Australians who often experience similar racism - at times even racist government policies - but are denied the chance to present their cases. #auspol

I don't know if #JimmyLai is truly guilty of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces. What I DO know is that he, through his newspaper Apple Daily, voiced his support for violent 'valiants', i.e. rioters, during the 2019 Hong Kong protests. Jimmy Lai is no champion of human rights.

People are asking "how can #ICE possibly arrest innocent children?" The answer is "surprisingly easy". Once an entire group is dehumanized, no exception would be made for their children. It had happened in WWII. It has happened in the Gaza War. And it is happening in Minnesota.

Why is 'the left' not talking about Iran? It is not just because of Israel's vocal support of the protests. Just as importantly, the main Iranian opposition (in the diaspora at least) are pro-Pahlavi Dynasty (itself having committed atrocities) which is anathema to the republicanism of 'the left'.

The point is that, while criminal proceedings are on foot, a royal commission can't look at anything to do with the Bondi shootings or the shooters, including why and how they did it, that is it can't touch on the subject that is its sole reason for being established. It will achieve nothing.
