The official who headed Australia's Home Affairs department acted so recklessly and improperly, particularly in his secret dealings with a lobbyist and Liberal Party powerbroker, that it would be very difficult for him to ever work in the public service again. That is among a series of damaging findings contained in a confidential report that led to the sacking of Michael Pezzullo as Home Affairs secretary in late 2023 but which the government declined to release at the time.
‘Can’t be trusted’ yet the former public servant is given air time and appears on expert panels. What does it take in this country for wrongdoing to be taken seriously?! Oh to be rich and powerful. www.theage.com.au/national/can...

Outrageous that an artist in Australia, who makes a living from his creative output, can be threatened with arrest and imprisonment for using a phrase with - at best - contested meaning.
This is normal under authoritarian regimes.
A statement on behalf of the Australian Cartoonists Association regarding James Hillier aka Nordacious and the QLD Government:
Australian employers have revealed the rates at which they are excluding candidates over 55, who live with a long-term or mental illness, are Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, or who live with disability.
25% of people on an unemployment payment are over 55.

I like this Ben Stiller fellow. When he made a movie in Wilmington, Ohio, he was nice to people. And look — he stands up for himself rather than allowing himself to be ritually humiliated.
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
“The royal commission is about both antisemitism and social cohesion, and if there is not going to be an examination of Islamophobia, that is really concerning," he told the ABC.
"Muslim Australians should not feel [like] they have to beg for protection."

Vintage circus-style political poster showing Anthony Albanese depicted as a ventriloquist’s dummy with puppet strings. Donald Trump sits behind him as the ventriloquist, while Benjamin Netanyahu appears above controlling Trump like a puppet master. The headline reads “Behold… The Grovelling Gutless Wonder,” with a starburst listing “Capitulates on command! Questions never asked! Spine not included!”
STEP RIGHT UP: The Grovelling Gutless Wonder!! 🎪
Capitulates on command. Questions never asked. Spine not included ~ Posters/tees: tinyurl.com/4smmtm8x
Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.
They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.
Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.
Watch how they vote this week.
screen shot from linked article, reading The group also briefly considered withdrawing from the 2024 parade before ultimately choosing to march, telling The Australian a Pride in Protest float bearing the slogan "trans pride, not genocide" made the group concerned for "the safety of our members in Sydney's Queer spaces".
so infuriating and sad that SGLMG refuses to recognise text book hasbara and the fact that mass damage is always caused by letting in zionists and cops.

Single frame. Angus Taylor at table with generic colleague at whiteboard holding marker. On whiteboard, two headings: “GOOD IMMIGRANTS” and “BAD IMMIGRANTS”. Under first: “# People like us; # Business people; # Wealthy people; # Cheap labour”. Nothing yet under second. Taylor says: “Well, we DON’T want the kinds of people that come from repressive terrorist regimes…” Colleague says: “You mean, the people most likely to need somewhere safe to flee to?”
Bad immigrants.

Perhaps it will help people realise that This Is Labor now, and vote accordingly.
We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms.
It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.
We knew Minns would do a Trumpian false narrative defying video evidence of the brutal police violence & repeat Herzog’s earlier ‘see what you made me do’ / ‘goaded into’ defence. But claiming they were keeping peaceful protestors away from mourners is truly rancid mendacity.
It can be difficult sometimes to distinguish between social cohesion and common assault
We cannot be free unless everyone is free.

Our government crossed a line by inviting a war criminal - they can’t uncross it.
We've shut down the busiest pedestrian intersection in Naarm/Melbourne because our government invited a genocidal war criminal to our country
