The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.

In Australia’s post-US future, we must find our own way with China | Hugh White The Canberra establishment thinks we must depend on Washington more than ever in today’s hard new world. That misses a vital point

Only those, like bullies, are missing a very important intellectual/moral gene if they don’t have empathy.

Sussan Ley is the Opposition leader - awesome. In about 75 years from now - we may finally have a woman leader in Australia who can dismantle structural misogyny. It takes time to manage such huge social change.
