Inaccurate comment from the Liberal MP Simon Kennedy. I'm sure the PM *does* care about gambling victims. It's just that he cares about the gambling, sports and media lobbies even more. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Israel is an apartheid state. That apartheid now officially includes the death penalty. Israel has long engaged in mass extrajudicial executions of Palestinians. It's now official state policy.
