@PatMcGorry From the research, what's causing the crisis? I think you mentioned this research during the Digital Dilemma show earlier in the week but didn't mention the other reasons for this
@PatMcGorry on the ABC Digital Dilemma program last night you mentioned some other mega trends (I think you called it) social media was less impactful than. As a psychologist and parent, would you be able to point me to the research on this that you were citing? Thanks! ๐
โWhy have journalists in Australia been relatively quiet about the grave attacks on press freedom [in Gaza]?
And what can we do to break the silence?โ

Keating makes the point that Labor should spend some political capital.
My wish list:
Be brave.
Ditch AUKUS.
Stop worshiping the โmarketโ
Fix CGT and -ve gearing.
Tackle poverty reduction
Housing as a human right.
Establish a modern Housing Commission.
Build public Housing.

If peace has really started and Gaza is no longer a "combat zone", it means that int'l journalists can come in and @gbsumudflotilla can resume its humanitarian convoys, right? Or is Israel still afraid of intl observers?
The media is madly focused on Israeli corpses.
But today Israel returned 52 corpses of Palestinians taken prisoner since 7 October 2023 who had died in Israeli custody, many tortured to death.
Zero media attention.
@LaDolceVita_99@Onjaknoo@daanysaeed Like any overseas trip, the experience stays with you forever. And they end up in quite senior positions eventually. That why they do it. They wouldn't pay for it if it didn't have a positive impact on their cause
@JasonSeiko @GrogsGamut Instead Israelis are using the same approach to slaughter Palestinians right now. Your hypocrisy is astounding and don't use jewish lives lost 80 years ago to justify abhorrent behaviour now cause the Palestinians can do that too
@GrogsGamut Australia should send a naval vessel to the coast of Israel and monitor Israel's actions for war crimes using our well publicised/promoted drone tech. We can't sit by taking their word anymore
@AmyRemeikis His other Victorian Lib mates who loved playing student politics have all been tossed out of parliament. If he keeps it up I think he'll end up the same.
