Who else feels like Australia's Labor government has lost its moral compass? Can't close down gambling advertising. Can't honour its obligations under the Refugee Convention. Can't condemn the State of Israel for its invasion of a Sovereign neighbour - Lebanon. Can't vote in the affirmative to a UN resolution declaring the slavery of African people as the world's most heinous crime.

What a tragedy that the politics of meanness is so embedded in the political discourse of Australia that even a Labor Government sings from the song sheet. Remember when Malcolm Fraser welcomed a huge cohort of refugees from Vietnam? Remember when Bob Hawke granted visas to Chinese students in the aftermath of Tiananmen Square Massacre? As a signatory to the Refugee Convention, Australia is simply turning away from its obligations. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/governments-six-month-block-on-iranian-visas-begins-for-people-outside-australia/tktegs5q2

We are used to apologies being offered that are frankly rather meaningless. This is one of them. With a salary package worth perhaps $250,000 he has an important job in securing the working conditions of his staff. Bosses all seem to think their job is to give the workers nothing extra - now that might be worth an apology. But to apologise, in the context of failing to progress negotiations with his workforce by blaming the workers? Now that is not an apology. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-25/abc-journalists-24-hour-strike-action-begins/106493282

There is an alternative view of antisemitism in Australia out there and it is worth listening to. https://johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03/jewish-australians-speak-and-contradict-the-governments-antisemitism-report/?fbclid=IwY2xjawQwJBpleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZBAyMjIwMzkxNzg4MjAwODkyAAEezMvHW8-LeatZa0f5PoK1T31tMkhpwv13j8j0DHHGuj7cFwm_h9PvFzJBsdI_aem_9FYWAgOM4bNLOqkrtMNsIg

Double standards on steroids!!
"While Israeli soldiers are granted entry and support, Palestinian civilians facing mass displacement, bombardment, and humanitarian collapse remain largely absent from similar pathways. Observers say this reflects selective compassion and a broader political posture that dehumanises Palestinians by omission. ... Australia’s approach exposes a stark disconnect between its humanitarian rhetoric and its actions."

The system works as intended, if you make the right choices. Interest rates no problem...
