"Jewish Council of Australia opposes Coalition’s antisemitism Bill, citing political agenda to stifle free speech on Palestine" https://www.jewishcouncil.com.au/media/jewish-council-of-australia-opposes-coalitions-antisemitism-bill-citing-political-agenda-to-stifle-free-speech-on-palestine 27 August 2024

"While we are deeply concerned about the rise of antisemitism in Australia, this Bill is not the answer. The Coalition continues to use Jews as political footballs, using fear to drive a right-wing political agenda. This Bill relies on disputed definitions and conflates criticism of Israel with antisemitism, which ultimately undermines our ability to address real instances of hate and discrimination." Dr Max Kaiser, Executive Officer of the Jewish Council of Australia

Is it too much to ask that Sinclair and its programming is never allowed to come into Australia? We already have too much dodgy SocMed and MSM from America as it is.

So. Lets talk #Rudd
Hes by no means the only politician who has commented on the hell and evil that is #Trump. Vance has. Bolton. Barr. Halley. Generals. Judges. The list is endless.

So I can think of only one reason why US media and politicians are baying for Rudd blood. #Albanese is shortly due to visit Trump in USA. He will be expected to pledge allegiance, to kowtow, to simper. Trump will ask him to swear fealty and prove it by appointing a proMAGA ambassador... or else.

Albanese needs to show Trump that he will serve Australia with *our* best interest at heart.

We may be a small country but we are not a satellite or property of America.

Governments haven't done enough to save us. We had the means in our hands and they threw the chances away.

Think about that next time an SUV passes by our another road is built.

So... my mum lived through the London Blitz in 1940.
250,000 ppl made instantly #homeless. A massive #Housingcrisis in the extreme for the Govt, and not just in London.

There was a *Housing For All Policy* to get ppl into accommodation, albeit temporary #housing until permanent #socialhousing could be built.

It worked.
My parents lived comfortably and safe in "prefabs" for 3 yrs KNOWING a proper home would be given to them.

There are ways to sort this social housing crisis now. It's easy in comparison to post war Europe when governments had zero available cash. Its been done before on a far greater scale.
