Never forget that anyone who raised questions about the safety of these vaccines were ridiculed and marginalised.

This is why we must never pass laws against misinformation.

A healthy society accepts dissenting voices.

So “stupid white bastard” is not racist but “stupid black bastard” is? If there are different rules for different people the whole liberal project falls apart. That’s not hard to understand.

@FuckDanAndrews @CampbellNewman They were handcuffing pregnant Facebook posters instead.

@CharityBassett1 @CampbellNewman He's extremely welcome because he has a lot to contribute. You on the other hand... 🤔

@DavidCrisafulli Socialising housing is a mistake and doesn't accord with liberal values. Better to work on increasing developable land and reduce union generated construction costs.

@MikeCarlton01 Simply pointing out Albanese lied is sufficient

You are just a dumbass cricketer. Shut the eff up.

Pat Cummins calls for Australia Day to be celebrated on a different date and backs Cricket Australia's decision not to use the term in marketing for the Brisbane Test. https://t.co/8TtLMp8lQ8

@JaneCaro Yep, no worries 👍

Got it, you own your body. But who owns a developed baby's body? You or the baby?

[Jane Caro @JaneCaro]

A woman’s body belongs to her and only to her, just as a man’s belongs to him. Women are not containers, spittoons, vessels of temptation or holy sites. Our bodies are just the flesh we get around in. We get to control them, no one else.

@MikeCarlton01 Are you five?

[Andrew Cooper @Coops_CPAC]

@AshleyLeahy It's a celebration of a great place to live brought to clowns like you that enjoy this place but are too stupid to realise that everything you have is a result of everything you pretend to hate.

Which public utterance would the Human Rights Commission have a problem with?
"Gas the Jews"
"Gas the blacks"

I'm increasingly frustrated by whataboutist libertarian takes on indefensible Hamas terrorism that seemingly deny @israel's unquestionable right to respond to war crimes committed within its own borders. If your first--or second, or third--response to civilian deaths is to point out that not all the children were decapitated, you're doing it wrong.

These takes tend to conflate questions of legitimate national self-defense on the part of a country and possible US intervention that is often morally, strategically, and pragmatically suspect. A similar conflation was evident when Russia invaded Ukraine, with too many libertarians justifying Putin's war-of-choice as the inevitable result of US foreign policy, impugning Ukrainians defending themselves, or waving away solidarity with and empathy for the invaded as "CIA talking points." Same with Taiwan and Hong Kong.

But the righteousness of self-defense and American military involvement are totally separate matters. More than most nations, Israel is capable of defending itself (and will do so with greater restraint than most countries would in similar circumstances). The US should not become involved militarily even as we should offer humanitarian aid and assistance, including to Gazans suffering under Hamas rule. We shouldn't be the world's policeman (the past 20 years of our foreign policy testify to that) but we also can play a role in minimizing conflict and suffering.

From this Monday's Reason Roundtable podcast, a compressed clip on this.

Dear media, when interviewing "victims" in Gaza, please start with one simple question... "Do you denounce the slaughter of Israeli civilians by Hamas terrorists?".

Depending on their answer, you might then continue.
