I’m appalled that people thought it smart to boo Welcome to Country ceremonies at Anzac Day dawn services.
I especially acknowledge Bunurong elder Mark Brown who welcomed us cartoonists at our conference in St Kilda a few years ago. He is decent, kind man who deserves respect. I am so sorry.

When this blows over I might have to share some of the emails I’ve received over the days which really make me wonder why I am the one accused of hatred. There is deep unresolved trauma being spewed by some of these people and we cannot consent to living according to their warped reality.

Our media have decided that the murder of 60,000 brown Muslims is of no concern. What a disgrace that genocide is not considered newsworthy. John Menadue
Message from the editor-in-chief: Genocide is not newsworthy in The Australian
Our mainstream media have manufactured public consent to the genocide.The Australian has become a parody of a newspaper.

We have 3 branches of federal government. Usually, if one is not working properly, the other 2 can step in.
Have we ever had another time in our nation's history when *none* of the branches were working?
Yes, the judiciary seemed prepared to step into the breach--until SCOTUS ruined things again.
