The resumption of Israel’s bombardment of Gaza, with the full backing of the US government, is an outrage. Israel’s ongoing assault will only deepen the devastation and suffering already inflicted on Gazans.

When you hold so few sitting days, it's not a shock that we end up with this idiocy of trying to rush through bills on the last day.

My understanding of this legislation is you can either give them all your details or you can submit a facial recognition id, in which case they also take your MyGov ID. Do you know if that’s the case?

Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young says it's a "disgrace" the social media ban bill has been "railroaded" through the parliament by the two major parties. She says the reason it's being rushed is because Dutton and Albo are worried if people knew the consequence they wouldn't support it.

Another day another incorrect op ed about elections. The Coalition would not have won 2022 under FPP as many Greens voters would have voted strategically for Labor. Even if everyone voted the same they would only have won 73 seats and needed Steggall or Haines to govern.

I have a lot of thoughts about what I've been seeing, but the speed at which this went from 'one university called the cops' to EVERY university called the cops is chilling. Are you saying all these disparate unrelated protests became violent at once and suddenly needed police intervention?
