Massive cognitive dissonance from Sarah Ferguson on 730; talking about how the sexual assault allegations are framed with respect the players, whilst calling it an "incident"

Asking the Royal Commission into Social Cohesion and Antisemitism if Muslim communities can't give evidence and false claims of antisemitism which conflate a bake sale or wearing a keffiyeh with antisemitism go unchallenged, what exactly is this royal commission for?

1,049 days after the Murphy Report was tabled, the Government has finally responded by “noting” all 31 recommendations. It's not good enough - Albanese must ban gambling advertising.

Update on the Nepean count: the full distribution of preferences is underway and is set to be completed tomorrow. We won't have final figures until then, but the VEC has confirmed to me that independent Tracee Hutchison did overtake One Nation to finished second after preferences

Listening to Abbott on 730, he seems to be implying all they need to do is lift their primary vote from 18 to 43%, and hey presto, back in office. Always nice to be reminded why he got rolled as PM, then lost the unlosable blue ribbon seat 😂😂

Alex Antic on 730 saying the Libs need to appeal to their base, not One Nation. Problem is, mate, you don't have enough base left, you need to start appealing more to the left. And you, of all people, represent the reason the left won't be rushing back.

Weather outlook. My @smh @theage cartoon.
Single frame. TV weather man stands beside map of Australia with stick pointing to map. Colour of map with temperature scale below shows fiery reds, orange and crimson pink indicating high temps throughout. Map in actual flames in some parts, flames on weatherman’s stick, his shoulders and hair. He’s standing in brown floodwater with flaming, smoking branches, a cow and a koala clinging to a branch floating by. Rain blowing in from the left. Weather man calmly says, “On the bright side, assuming global emissions fall sharply…”

Labor must critically analyse the effect on democracy and the right to protest of adopting the Segal report recommendations. Conflating antisemitism with legitimate opposition to Israeli govt genocide, apartheid and breaches of international law would be a grave mistake.

Australia needs more psychologists - and more critical thinkers. So why make those subjects four times more expensive than Latin or Greek? It's past time for the government to undo the harm caused by Scott Morrison's Job Ready Graduates scheme. www.smh.com.au/national/the...
smh.com.au
One uni subject costs $578, the other $2124. What would the average student choose?
I started an arts course this year only to find my choice of subjects meant I would pay as little as $14,000 or as much as $50,000 for my degree. Bizarre cost discrepancies are rife.

Tomorrow marks two years since the release of the parliamentary gambling report chaired by the late Peta Murphy. Despite strong public support, Fed Govt has failed to even respond to the report. For those harmed by gambling, this is a shocking betrayal #auspol #politas
