These pro-Israel lobbyists are a disgrace. Perhaps a campaign against their personal participation in professional life and occupation ought happen. But were that likely they'd most likely seek Court orders to protect their cowardly anonymity. It's happened before

He actually claims he got away with it today? Not sure how he did that...

If the Liberals “are on the brink of extinction”, Joshy, it’s underhanded, duplicitous, incompetent hypocrites like yourself that drove them there The obnoxious entitlement of the traitor who lost the safest blue ribbon Liberal seat in AUS in over a century is fricken nauseating

Do bogong moths ever go as far south as Melbourne? I had the unfortunate accident tonight of tuning on the microwave to realise something was flying around inside. It was quite a large moth which spun out of control to the floor and is now behind the fridge. 😬 sorry about that, moth.
