The State of Israel unequivocally and very explicitly does not! If you think a 2SS is the best path forward, you need to be focused on bringing Israel in line with the international consensus. 441039

TiredLiam @tiredliam.bsky.social · 21/08/2026There are two positions in Australian public policy: 1. Australia's debt is out of control and should be reined in through cutting spending and 2.
