lumpenproletariat"Subsidising violence." Labor accused of looking the other way
Labor refuses to sanction charities funding illegal settlements and the Israeli war effort, as government accused of subsidising violence.

דער קערפער פֿון השם"#JosephAlbo: Collected #Writings, #edited by #ShiraWeiss, is an important and welcome contribution to the study of #medieval #Jewish #philosophy, making the thought of the #Spaniard Joseph #Albo (1380-1444) newly accessible to contemporary readers.
Bringing together a full presentation of #Sefer #haIkkarim along with Albo’s lesser-known responsum, this volume offers both breadth and depth, illuminating a thinker often overshadowed by figures like #Maimonides (1138-1204) and his own teacher, #HasdaiCrescas (1340-1410/11). The #book is 1753 pages long, and contains the original #Hebrew on the left-hand pages and an easy-to-read modern #English #translation on the right.
Albo’s approach to #Judaism diverged from Maimonides ‘ emphasis on rationalism. He was influenced by #Crescas, who emphasized faith and the observance of #mitzvot (divine commands), an easier form of Judaism than the rigors of Maimonides’ rationalism."

While #Albo preens himself on throwing kids off social media, his backers make millions out of people who lose more than they can afford. 1000 days and counting. #auspol https://www.agr.org.au/take-action
Mojo ♻️When Australia shut down refineries, what did politicians think would happen?
In 2014 to 2015 two major refineries stopped refining fuel
• Kurnell Refinery → converted to an import terminal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurnell_Refinery
• Bulwer Island Refinery → closed and turned into an import terminal
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulwer_Island_Refinery
Result: Australia became far more dependent on imported fuel while regional industries still rely on diesel to function.
Farmers feel it first
If diesel prices spike
• tractors do not run
• crops do not get harvested
• food supply chains strain
Fuel security is not abstract policy.
It affects farmers, freight, food prices and regional Australia.
But according to parts of the press this is somehow #Albo’s fault in 2026.
Apparently decisions made a decade ago only become a problem once Labor is in government.
Funny how that works.
@static It’s the ultimate "signed, sealed, delivered" situation, isn't it?
Scomo sets up the AUKUS deal and those eye-wateringly expensive nuclear subs, then Albo walks in and doubles down on it like it was his idea all along.
Hard to have a "quiet word" about independence when we’ve already signed away the next few decades—and several hundred billion dollars—to stay tethered to the US. We’re basically locked into the guest room of the alliance for the foreseeable future.

"The government has introduced legislation to temporarily ban some people from coming to Australia.
The war in the Middle East has raised concerns it could result in more asylum claims."
Government seeks power to temporarily ban some people from Australia
Overseas visitors planning to travel from certain countries could be temporarily blocked from entering Australia in an attempt by the federal government to stop a wave of people overstaying their visas due to the war in the Middle East.
