So the Foo Fighters are happy to play in Tasmania, in an existing stadium, without a roof, but we need a stadium with a roof to get world-class acts... go figure 🤔 #NoStadium

Tasmania had its credit rating downgraded yesterday. The credit agency said it's as a result of debt levels. The government still has its head in the sand, insisting that they can spend $1B on a white elephant stadium and afford it. The ignorance of politicians astounds me sometimes. #NoStadium

Segal's anti-semitism "review" can, and should, be ignored. There has been a longstanding need for better government work on anti-racism, but this review is compromised by the fact its first recommendation suggests codifying criticism of Israel as anti-semitism. Everything else stems from that.

Standing against genocide in Gaza is not antisemitism. It's pointing out that the Israeli government's policies of cruelty and murder are abhorrent and illegal. #auspol #Gaza #Genocide

This by @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social's Max Kaiser is absolutely on point.
Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer, Jewish Council of Australia “This document reads more like a blueprint for silencing dissent rather than a strategy to build inclusion. The report’s vague language around ‘antisemitic narratives’ or ‘affiliations’ , coupled with its emphasis on the discredited IHRA definition of antisemitism, make the actions recommended dangerously unclear. Consistent with her past statements erroneously linking antisemitic attacks with Palestine solidarity protests, Segal seems fixated on driving a pro-Israel narrative and repressing legitimate criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Antisemitism is real and must be taken seriously. But it does not exist in a vacuum. Any response that treats antisemitism as exceptional, while ignoring Islamophobia, anti-Palestinian racism, and other forms of hate, is doomed to fail.”

The ALP is at a point where it must choose Australia's future. It must choose between doing what is right or doing what is easy. Labor has a generational chance to shape our future (both domestically and internationally) and needs to stand proud and be bold.

The PM, Defence and Foreign Ministers (in fact probably the whole cabinet) have misread the mood of the Australian people on these matters. We are tired of the constant pandering to the right-wing media, the zionist lobby, and to an increasingly erratic and unreliable US led by a dangerous moron.

There is no way that the US was ever going to or will ever provide nuclear powered submarines to Australia. We are not a nuclear nation. Much like the policy your party opposed on nuclear reactors, we should ditch this stupidity and seek a better solution (such as the previous deal with the French).

The ALP's continued support for the brainfart of Scott Morrison called AUKUS. It's abundantly clear that it was bad policy when it was created, bad policy when your party supported it in opposition to stop being wedged, bad policy that you inherited on taking government and it's still bad policy now

If you're British or French, your government will treat you like an adult and explain what role your country played in the Iran strikes. Not so here in Australia, writes Bernard Keane.

What was Australia's role in Trump's attack on Iran? You're not allowed to know
Other US allies are being transparent with their people about any role their nation played in the attack on Iran. But from Australia's leaders? Crickets.
