Days like today remind how striking it is how *little* the political and media discussion of anti-semitism in Australia has focused on rightwing extremists and repeated public street marches of actual neo Nazis
Before the Australian Government has a Productivity Roundtable, they ought to formally change the definition of productivity in line with the measuring what matters framework. The aim ought not to be maximise GDP at all costs, but to maximise well-being of people and environment.
@ak_pennington@SatPaper Chalmers responses re red tape and enviro are hardly reassuring. Clams about needs for more housing from them are actually moves to further undermine enviro protection, not concerns for housing. developers rule just as tech bros do.
THE DRAGON RISES: Epic Footage of a Palestine Protest in Aberystwyth, Mid-Wales. Population: 15,000.
Thank you for inviting Cardiff Stop the War to speak at the rally at end.

Labor 94/150 House majority and it celebrates by promising to ‘cut red tape’ - Coalition policy for decades. Young peeps told that intergenerational 🏠 inequality is the result of red tape - not housing taxes delivering for the wealthy that have driven up 🏠 demand and prices. 🤔
@PhilipThalis also the fact governments when they re-purchase pay these failed "entrepreneurs" squillions for loss making businesses. Should cost about a dollar each. Business laughs whatever the outcome
A passenger on a train in Australia captured the most beautiful thing on their mobile phone. I doubt you'll see this on mainstream media. Much respect Australia ✌️

When I was young and naive I thought terrorism looks like someone detonating a car bomb or crashing planes into skyscrapers. Now that I'm mature and educated I know that terrorism actually looks like an old lady holding a sign saying people should be allowed to oppose genocide.
Everything about this is utterly revolting, and yet another sick exercise of genocidal racism by Australian media aided and abetted by an incompetent and cowardly political class. You’re a total disgrace @Tony_Burke
External journalists aren’t allowed into Gaza and the entire @AlJazeera team in Gaza has been murdered by Israel with the killing of Anas al-Sharif, Mohammed Qreiqeh, Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal today
Every day they try to hide the truth of the genocide they are committing
No terrorist ever had a military budget the size of America’s.
No suicide bomber ever launched 80,000 airstrikes.
No extremist group ever set up 800 bases in 80 countries.
But the U.S. did.
And called it "peacekeeping."
Albanese Anthony:
"Aust is not complicit in what is unfolding in Gaza."
Albanese Francesca:
"Maybe show us the receipts of Australia's military exports to Israel first."
Boom!
They say the U.S. defends the world.
But who defends the world from the U.S.?
No nation has bombed more hospitals, funded more warlords, or crushed more democracies.
No flag has waved over more mass graves.
And yet it calls itself the leader of the free world.
Free for who?
