Some interesting snippets from my reading this week. Rachel Withers at Crikey diagnoses Tim Wilson, Atlas Network affiliate and shadow treasurer, who is behaving very strangely. #Auspol

yeah Tony Abbott and Barnaby Joyce are for denying vaccines that save the lives of girls and women. They have been extremely vocal about it. You know, the current president of the Liberal party and the ex-National Party leader turned racism billionaire treasury spokesperson or something like that.

The absence of a walkout, or at the very least a round of boos, when Ms Hanson denigrated Sarah Martin yesterday at #npc suggests the Canberra press gallery is as cowardly and craven as its counterpart in the #HerrTrumpf #RogueStatesOf America, interested only in its next bit of click-bait #auspol

📖 Noam Chomsky has long argued that public debate can be shaped by powerful institutions that determine which questions are discussed and which are ignored. His question was: 👉 Who benefits from controlling the boundaries of political conversation?

Tax the gas exports. Tax the corporations. Tax the churches. Then you wouldn’t have to gut #NDIS , hurting people with disabilities, and you could fix what needs fixing.

TAX GAS!! The profits are flowing offshore instead of our treasury and our quality of life is flowing down the drain - I pay more tax than these companies!!

Australia's Jewish community received 49x more funding (per capita) than Muslim Australians but where does the money go? @sstephanietrann investigates. #auspol #ECAJ michaelwest.com.au/wheres-the-m...

I do not say this lightly but the Deputy Prime Minister should be removed from Parliament altogether for this repeated pattern in behaviour of berating victims of sexual violence. We should not have a society that continues to allow this behaviour as acceptable #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

The Australian media is treating ONP like it's just another political party. It isn't. This type of rhetoric in the early 20th Century led to the deaths of 38 million civilians, 15 million military personnel, the execution of 6 million Jewish people & I can go on. #auspol

Australian media 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 treat One Nation like it’s 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺; PHON has 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 had its policies subjected to the scrutiny other parties receive and her candidates are treated with the most gentle of kid-gloves; even the hiring of a convicted rapist was largely ignored. #auspol

Where’s the money? Government and Israel lobby coy on big grants Stephanie Tran reports. Read it here: https://michaelwest.com.au/wheres-the-money-government-and-israel-lobby-coy-on-big-grants/

This is shocking, but expected. The Govt has the power to either remove the Statute of Limitations or legislate timeframes for LECC investigations. Wonder why it hasn't?

Outrageous and inequitable

michaelwest.com.au/wheres-the-m... “Using Wertheim’s estimate, “funding allocated to Jewish community organisations equates to approximately $1,650/person. On a per-capita basis, this represents around 49x more security funding than that allocated to Muslim community organisations.”

Sanctions and condemnations are more effective if you aren't at the same time selling explosives to the psychopaths you're now posturing and finger waving at, no?

Just listened to @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social's interview with Jayson Gilham about his being cancelled by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. 3 complaints about his tribute to Palestinian journalists. More than 480 counter-complaints about cancellation. But the 3 counted for more because Zionists ... 🙄

These brave women came to senate estimates to demand, for once, the violence of the Israeli state was acknowledged in Canberra. They came back yesterday and forced the government to start an AFP investigation into the assaults on them. Courage. Solidarity. 🕊️ 🇵🇸

Be appalled and scared of One Nation's ascent all you want. I am. But don't let it convince you that Australia doesn't already have a right-wing racist billionaire-controlled government. That's our resting heart rate as a nation, we've just normalised a specific variety of it.

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.

the clipped quotes are from an interview where Hamish McDonald asked Grace Tame to amplify unproven claims made by officials of a state that is notorious for sexual violence in carceral settings including against Australian women. She refused, which enraged zionists. bsky.app/profile/ingr...

Angus Taylor caught clueless in WA, unable to name the very electorate he’s holding a press conference in. “Do you not know the seat you’re standing in right now?” “Seriously do you not know…?”💥🔥 No he doesn’t 🤣 Staggering. #auspol

I received Clive Palmer’s steaming pile of pamphlet. I considered critiquing it point by point, but it’s so stupid, so lazy, so mom and apple pie, it’s not worth the effort. The next federal election will be a census, we’ll learn just how many ignorant, bigoted imbeciles there are in Australia.

Rinehart backed Dutton. We showed Dutton the door. Rinehart is backing Hanson. Let’s give Hanson the same treatment we gave Dutton. Write to journalists and demand they question Hanson on policy, on costed policy, not just repeat her inane sound bites and brain farts. #AusPol

It's been a while so I thought I should check in with how our old friends Santos and Woodside are doing...

Imagine how credulous you have to be to think Gina Rinehart "listens" to Hanson.

I cannot state strongly enough that data centre overdevelopment and the shockingly toxic technology of generative AI should be both be intensely opposed, rather than welcomed on the grounds that they're taxed. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Refreshing to hear the excellent Northern Irish Justice minister absolutely giving it to the vile white supremacists like Elon Musk, Tommy Robinson, Nigel Farage - all the usual suspects - for exploiting the tragic violent event to whip up racist mobs for self serving political aims. #ABC730

Christians use religion as a tool to attack people and ideas they don’t like, and ignore the real teachings of Christianity. In fact Christians are what has turned more people away from churches than commonsense has.
