What do we want? - "Social cohesion!" When do we want it? - "Just after we finish booing our political opponents at a memorial service!" That one might need a bit more work.

I'm disgusted by Australian politicians and journalists pretending there's no link between the rise of anti-semitism, and Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/article/protest…

Richard Marles just loves his private jets - so befitting a man of his importance. After a secrecy blanket was wrapped over these taxpayer funded flights, he’s been free to indulge with no scrutiny. Except the ‘security risk’ excuse has failed in the face of #FOI. #auspol

After Bondi terror attack I directed my ASRC team to stop all our fundraising as it didn’t feel morally right as we grieved & mourned as a nation & out of respect for the Jewish Australian community. Tomorrow we need to restart it as our Xmas Appeal is now way behind & we’ve almost run out of time.
