    https://www.theage.com.au/national/nsw/sydney-man-to-face-court-after-calling-muslim-schoolgirl-immigrant-terrorist-20260915-p60xg3.html Police are going to &#39;throw the book&#39; at this man for his islamophobia towards one person. Just imagine what they would do to someone who regularly used racial abuse and encouraged hate and division - but a person like that could never gain much popular support in Australia, could they? #AusPol

    A fair percentage of my life is spent in various medical waiting rooms and for today&#39;s episode I have been conveniently perched opposite a cabinet labelled &#39;Stationary&#39;. Taking Special Relativity into account I am pleased to report that the label is quite accurate. From my point of view the cabinet has not moved, at least not for the last three hours anyway.

    The ALP has been urged to secure a “fairer return” from natural resources at the National Conference. If only they had some power, some authority, like, I dunno, like being the Government or something. I dunno.

    Anthony is putting AI within his own department. This means it will be secretive, highly bureaucratised and at the mercy of lobbyists. AI corporations can&#39;t get at our money, because most people don&#39;t want to pay for it. So they&#39;re going after government contracts and that way, our government can give them our money anyway. This will all be funded by the cuts to public services that have already begun. Need the NDIS? Computer says no.

    Just in case anyone takes exception to any or even all of my posts, I would like to state unequivocally, right here and now, that like Poorlean, my comments have been taken out of context. #AusPol

    https://jacobin.com/2026/05/taxes-rich-victims-mamdani-obama Calling to tax the rich is the same as yelling a racial slur, and billionaires are, apparently, victims of oppression just like racial minorities. This fear of being in a minority is odd. Is there some way in which minorities are oppressed in our society? #EatTheRich

Bishop leaves us with a significant legacy. Integrity, however, is not a prominent feature.

    I have just had a visit from my oldest and best friend. I actually remember when he was born. As peripatetic philosophers were have solved all of the worlds problems in under two days. You will notice the changes immediately and there is no need for thanks - you&amp;#39;re welcome.

    The circle is finally closing. The ALP has become the LNP while the LNP has become One Notion. They will solve all of our problems by an across the board increase in cruelty to the poor, the disabled, the elderly the disadvantaged and the displaced. #AUKUSwillFukUs

    https://www.deepcutnews.com/p/antisemitism-directive-exposes-australia It’s Segal who is the anti-Semite. In her attempt to godwash Israel&amp;#39;s perverted, murderous geopolitical ambitions she desecrates the religion she purports to defend. She provides an opportunity for real anti-Semites and is thus herself an anti-Semite, a Nazi.

    There is lot for us all to learn in this brave new world. I note that Qld. refuses to tighten gun laws and that they are proceeding to challenge every native title claim. Sick, depraved, racism is government policy. They get ten year old brown children and keep them in tiny, airless, sunless kennels.

    Today is the Ides of March and there is a lesson from history. Julius Caesar was murdered on this day in 44 BCE because (amongst other faults) he wanted to rule as an autocrat. Most of the Caesars who followed were much worse, some of them perverted, vindictive madmen. Sound familiar?
