Many thanks.

Just endured another 7nightly news that the share market sky is falling in, just plays into the hands of the well to do as they buy up the cheap stocks the not so well off believe the hype, run scared and sell. It’s just sets up “ the rich get richer and the poor etc.

"If the major parties insist on saying they don't want to get more tax from the gas industry than they get from the beer industry, that's the kind of policy position that's going to hand a seat like this to an independent or minor party."

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.

Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

How has EVERY single media organisation failed to mention this?!
"there is no way to hold an effective RC into the Bondi attacks without jeopardising the trial of the alleged perpetrator. Once a case is before the courts... even a royal commission is subject to sub judice." #auspol
What happened to Australia's media after the Bondi attack? It judged & blindly swung into campaign mode.

Royal commissions air everything publicly. One on Bondi would influence matters before the court because they are subject to sub judice laws. #auspol nickfeik.substack.com/p/weaponisin...

Hastie and JJ Price aided and abetted by advance.More attacks on Australian society, what’s taken hundreds of years from the envy of the world our multiculturalism is now being thrown in our face by a panicked opposition devoid of ideas, thrashing around like a fish out of water in its death throes.

The Bondi has not only brought a laser sharp attention that Australia is not immune from terrorist attacks but how the media can whip up a storm with non stop one sided hate bait articles, like a rabid dog they need to be put down or at the very least reminded Australia is made up by many cultures.

Hey @australia.theguardian.com I’m just re-listening Gina by Sarah Martin - my jaw has dropped to the floor once again as I’d forgotten just how much damage to indigenous folks & their lands has been inflicted. Please ask Sarah if she can do an update on the court cases and DNA requests? 🙏

How in the frog-boiling fuck do we live in a world where the simple phrase “stop bombing children” now seems to be both deeply subversive AND anti-semitic?

Have OP noticed the TV stations ticker line and newspaper headlines always use emotive words, creating (adding & abetting) more hate and division. It’s more than a pile on PM it’s an Affront to Australians.

The ALP need to realise they will be criticised whatever they do, so how about do things that are good? And do things to please those who voted for you not those who never will.
The AFR run a 2 year campaign to get the ALP to weaken the changes to super tax concessions to make it easier to avoid paying the tax.

The ALP does it.

The AFR criticises the ALP for weakening the policy because people can avoid paying the tax.
