The IDF has been accused of horrific war crimes in Gaza by the UN Human Rights Council & Amnesty International.
It is just common sense that those involved in war crimes should be held to account.
Very funny watching the conflict between the corporate and populist factions of the right play out in the pages of The Oz. Anti-immigrant bigotry fires up the base and is good for clicks BUT business needs a large exploitable labour force to make profits! Quite the conundrum!
Labor's welfare compliance system isn't just morally reprehensible, it's operating illegally. And we've known this for a long time! Their "once-in-a-generation reforms" (lol) mean nothing if the architecture of this punishing system remains.
Senator Canavan has spent his political life opposing women's rights. You'll forgive me if I call bullshit on his sudden concern for our wellbeing. #transwomenarewomen
I've sent questions to the ABC asking if they intend to counsel or discipline Charlie Pickering for giving an interview to someone who:
- pled guilty to unlawful assault in 2019
- describes Islam as a “barbaric ideology”
- was banned from Facebook for doxxing an ABC employee.
ICYMI... Last night the outgoing Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown said what the Greens have been warning about for years: that a rationed aged care system would create a two-tier system that favoured wealthier people. This is precisely what's happening now.
A clear admission here from the Department that Labor is rationing - i.e. denying - aged care from older Australians. And they're using an untested algorithm that is consistently under-assessing care to do their dirty work for them.
Labor know their aged care algorithm is cooked - that's why they've put money aside in the budget to reassess it. But they still won't put humans back in charge of decision-making!
Labor eliminated humans from aged care assessment decisions. The result? An algorithm is screwing up assessments - and there's no human override possible. I asked the Department whether they consulted with anyone before making this change. You'll be unsurprised by the answer.
I’m not saying this poll is correct. I don’t know. But I am saying it’ll get minimal media attention because it’s got Labor ahead on a two-party preferred basis.
Labor aims to dent One Nation by highlighting that it didn't support cost of living relief - the fatally inadequate policies that have literally driven One Nation's rise. Genius stuff.
NACC discourse is catnip for Teals/boomer centrists who think that politics is about who can be the best norms-follower and not about gauche, common things like building and wielding power
