@MorpheusB I will say it again:

We are one of the most resource rich countries in the world. We have some of the best universities, we are innovative and hard working. How on earth have we got to this position where working people can't afford to live.

Rent, mortgage, petrol, utilities, food and on and on. In the history of this country we have only ever been governed by two political parties and ideologies. 
Both have systemically failed us and we should talk more about that.

@pandanus @DropBear @andrijson crap. If they wanted to exterminate all Palestinians Oct 8 would have looked very different.
@DropBear @andrijson well that’s where we disagree. Israel has plenty to answer for but when the choice is a terrorist organisation that uses its own people for shields or another side, the terrorist org is always the problem.
#COP28 - The environmental protection conference you have when you are not really having an environmental protection conference.
@DropBear @andrijson I completrly agree. Part of the challenge I imagine is retaliating in a way that actually weakens Hamas. Must be difficult to figure out where that line is. There is never ever a justification for harming innocent children

@DropBear @andrijson I understand what precipitated it. I have also been in Israel when rockets were fired by Hamas into tel aviv while the sirens were blaring.

I do not have unconditional support for Israel but in this particular case they were not the protagonists. If any other country on earth was attacked as they were on Oct 7 the world would say, go defend yourself.

@andrijson @ABC innocent Palestinians who are not part of a terrorist organisation should absolutely be heard. People who behead babies should not.

@ABC

That 7:30 report was a disgrace. You just made a terrorist look like a victim. She said she supported the Oct 7 attacks, doesn’t want a two state solution and was the wife of a former Hamas leader.

This is a complex issue and all sides must be heard
but what you just did is terrorist propaganda. Full stop.

Shameful #auspol #abc #730Report

@marcelias well it is not anything that even approximates democracy but your voting system is on the docket.

Let’s stop conflating elections with democracy.

We have a choice, politics or democracy. They can’t coexist
