SCAM: Politicising a Terror Attack. As it is ANTI-ZIONISM that is the basis of hugely successful global anti-genocide protests, fortunately the Federal Court of Australia has already ruled that "antisemitism" and "anti-Zionism" CANNOT BE CONFLATED. So charges of Zionist genocide CANNOT be racialised

Can't help noticing Matt Golding's latest cartoon (below) was published on The Age's letters page, but not in its Sydney Morning Herald counterpart. Given the latter's 'coverage' (for want of a better word) of #bondibeach, I'm not surprised. #auspol

NEW LAWS URGENT. There are OVER 4M GUNS legally owned by civilians in Australia (2024), 25% MORE than before the Port Arthur massacre. Howard’s much heralded gun control laws took only c. 500k away, less than 20% of the then total. NSW is leading the urgent reform. michaelwest.com.au/four-million...

THIS is where Australia's new laws against hate speech should begin: prosecuting anti-Palestine anti-Arab Islamophobic, pro-Zionist genocide hatred. Gun vs Keffiyeh. One kills, the other gets you death threats michaelwest.com.au/gun-vs-keffi...

TIME TO REVISIT Trump's older sister, former federal judge Maryanne Trump Barry, secretly criticising him in recordings made by their niece Mary Trump, calling him "cruel," "stupid," "phony," "a liar with no principles," "he just wanted to appeal to his base." www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/u...

Agree with tough new penalties against people who spout racial hatred. This should be applied equally to all racists: neo-fascists, antisemites, anti-Arab Islamophobes etc. RACISTS OF ANY PERSUASION. Racism in ANY form is abhorrent & must be severely penalised. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/2025/12...

Zionists are desperately weaponising, so N.B. The Federal Court ruled that "antisemitism" cannot be conflated with "antizionism." The World Court of Public Opinion is hugely pro-Palestine/anti the (ICC ICJ UN declared) Zionist genocide. History will condemn Zionism michaelwest.com.au/butt-out-of-...

Obviously the High Court must find that Labor’s/LNP's electoral laws favour the major parties & disadvantage independent candidates at Federal Elections. Cementing electorally repugnant (anti-public) centrist neoliberalism is both undemocratic AND unconstitutional. michaelwest.com.au/uniparty-gra...

Unconscionable: Aussies skipping dental, medical care to afford rent! THIS is why NYC Mayor-elect Mamdani's DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM is a must. Abandoning the unregulated greed/elitism & failed privatisation of neoliberalism is essential for redressing acute inequality michaelwest.com.au/aussies-skip...

Greed should NEVER be the arbiter of our grandchildren's future. SHAME on the business-biased board of NAB for asking shareholders to ignore Australia's deforestation crisis, the millions of hectares cleared for agriculture (beef) leading to huge biodiversity loss. michaelwest.com.au/not-ready-in...

Eurovision says it stands for unity, inclusion, & dignity for all. A UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry found that Israel committed genocide, which clearly conflicts with those ideals. Ipso facto, the European Broadcasting Union must ban Israel. www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/enterta...

Liberal Party implodes even further, as ex-staffer Brittany Higgins is bankrupted by former Liberal senator. Exactly who was the real victim here? Whatever happened to the Me Too sisterhood? michaelwest.com.au/brittany-hig...

Barnaby Joyce, as Transport Minister, abandoned existing e-bike safety protocols in 2021, creating havoc for e-bike riders, police & public. Current Transport Minister Catherine King is restoring the European e-bike standards EN-15194, but not before Christmas! michaelwest.com.au/did-barnaby-...

If there is a faster coal decline that risks catching Australia off-guard, then the fossil-fuel lobby is to blame. "Divestment in coal" has been written on the wall for decades. The lobby's +LNP's denialism has negated any rational transition to baseload renewables michaelwest.com.au/faster-coal-...

Why are electricity bills so high? The Coalition & fossil media say renewables. It's actually coal, gas and corporate profiteering. We look at the evidence #auspol youtu.be/efOyTFmiw80?...

Trump’s fake war on fentanyl. Whatever you do, don't blame the burgeoning inequality & the insanely unsustainable scourge of neoliberal capitalism. As usual, better to distract by blaming & waging war on the democratically elected socialist country of Venezuela www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/u...

Labor discontent is growing from within -supporters are going from disappointed to disillusioned. Labor is perceived as arrogant in its centrist refusal to undertake reforms needed to fulfil its social contract as a "labour" party. It must return to its values. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

This mind-boggling disparity in resource allocation is a part of the fear- and war-mongering incessantly plied by the RW media and war-mongering fascists, who are synonymous with the 1% neoliberal elite class of oligarchs. BTW - Where is Education? We're no longer aspiring to be the Smart Country?

Excellent Question: Happy honeymoon Albo, but when will real reforms start, mate? When will the real single-mother champion, the Whitlam reformer, the Mamdani democratic socialist, stand up? Let Australians-in-crisis see the real you! You have a clear mandate, mate michaelwest.com.au/happy-honeym...

Can Libs take on IR laws without courting disaster? Not if they're suggesting some of the concessions & benefits the unions have recently won be trimmed or overturned. They would receive the same negative response from worker-voters as an assault on dependency www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

FIFA president Gianni Infantino (close ally of Trump, who made it clear that Trump should have won the Nobel for his efforts to broker a ceasefire in Gaza - which is a failure due to Israel's defiance of it) has sycophantically awarded Trump a FIFA peace prize! www.thenewdaily.com.au/sport/soccer...

A press gallery with integrity could ask Marles at his next media performance if any Australian personnel are embedded with US Navy SEAL teams, the units carrying out Hegseth & Bradley’s illegal orders to murder/commit war crimes? + Why are they not being recalled? michaelwest.com.au/no-fog-no-wa...

Having privatised the care industry, incl NDIS, to save money, govt is now cutting the subsidies that make that privatised care affordable. But reform other sectors (CGT discount, NG, flat tax on gas exports, axe the $14.9b fossil fuel subsidy) & it is “unfair” www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

Putin's hostile message before US envoys meeting should be the red line for Trump: THE US MUST TAKE RUSSIA ON. Russia alone is the aggressor, the invader of a sovereign country. There can be NO APPEASEMENT. The alternative is chaos and the demise of World Order www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/e...

Renewable energy hits half the grid: that’s wind and solar, whose wholesale prices, also according to the latest data, are far below fossil fuel prices. Rooftop solar just $9.28 per megawatt hour - despite the LNP's/RW media scaremongering & outright disinformation michaelwest.com.au/renewable-en...

MISINFORMATION ALERT Experts debunk mass migration claims that fuel racist rallies. Australians urged to use the bureau’s net overseas migration figures: the number of migrants arriving in Australia minus the number leaving. This has been plummeting since Sept 2023 michaelwest.com.au/experts-debu...

Using "drugs" as an excuse to oust a democratically elected/preferred socialist Venezuelan President Maduro (who has been in power since 2013 & denied links to illegal drug trade) - without proof - is capitalist fascism. Venezuelan citizens/military must resist www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/2025/11...

It's Time for MMT! Neoliberalism has been a 40 yr masterclass in using taxation to redistribute wealth UPWARD: Negative gearing; Capital gains tax discounts; Superannuation tax concessions to the wealthy; Franking credit refunds that hand billions to the less needy michaelwest.com.au/david-little...

The overtly racist White Australia Policy is alive & well in OZ. While the LNP is captured by the extreme right (Hastie, Price et al), the extreme right is, in turn, terrified of losing further electoral relevance to Hanson's One Nation. EITHER WAY, RACISM WINS www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Historic turning of tide to Labor over economic management. The Coalition’s promise to cut income taxes and restore a Howard-era measure limiting government spending will hurt the 99% of battling Aussies and make the 1% mega-wealthy richer. Taxes = Equality! www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

In accusing Ukraine of 'zero gratitude,' Trump chooses the craven, cowardly approach in attempting to appease the aggressor, Vlad The Invader. Trump needs to be reminded which side invaded which and which is the real territorial aggressor. NO APPEASEMENT! www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Power for its own sake: How Labor has lost its way. An excellent summary by Amy Remeikis, of Labor's gutless abandonment of its working-family roots for elitist neoliberal centrism: a failure to grasp the global zeitgeist (Mamdani democratic socialism effect). www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

COP30 CLIMATE DISASTER! Both a US boycott & a ban on even using the term "fossil fuels" (by the Arab Group of countries - including top oil exporter Saudi Arabia), have made efforts at global cooperation a pointless exercise & climate destruction a certainty. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/world/2...

"Terrorism" Definition: Criminal acts, including violence against civilians & taking hostages, committed to provoke a state of terror, intimidate a population, or compel a government or international organization to do something. Fit the Wieambilla shootings? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/q...

If 1 in 5 Australians supports the fascism of One Nation, we have a problem. Our parents and grandparents fought & lost their lives fighting fascism. The racism implicit in the anti-immigration & anti-Voice Referendum suggests we are heading for Trumpian chaos. www.thenewdaily.com.au/podcast/2025...

ZIONIST LOBBY CONDEMNED Both the World Health Organisation and the UN Human Rights office, with leading human rights NGOs, have accused Israel of deliberately destroying the Palestinian health system.

All NSW Police Officers, from the top down, should be stood down & held 100% accountable for allowing the neo-Nazis to assemble in the first place. Nazism is abhorrent, so the South African neo-Nazi co-leader must be deported for his part in leading the rally. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/state/n...

Our parents/grandparents fought & died fighting Nazis.  Now, Neo-Nazis are in cities and towns, marching & terrorising communities. In Sept, they marched from an anti-immigration rally in Melbourne & attacked & hospitalised people at the sacred Camp Sovereignty www.thenewdaily.com.au/podcast/2025...

The LNP's answer to Australia's energy needs? Taxpayers (us) to massively fund antiquated & obsolete coal and gas plants! With 2/3ds of Australians wanting both to retain net zero by 2050 & prioritise renewables, this is a recipe for further electoral oblivion. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Under the Coalition, Australia would fail to meet its Paris commitments and be locked out of lucrative export markets, investment in renewables would plunge, creating a genuine energy crisis, with taxpayers heavily subsidising existing coal-fired power stations www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

If the ICJ ruled that all countries had a legal obligation to tackle the “urgent and existential threat” of climate change; if polls indicate 2/3s of Australians want BOTH renewable energy & net zero by 2050; wouldn't it be electoral suicide to do otherwise? www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Antisemitic Neo-Nazis target Sydney MPs with vile threats, exposing double standards in how police curb protests by climate & pro-Palestine groups compared with those from neo-Nazi extremists.

Politics 101 A MUST READ FOR ALL POLITICIANS: Heed the people & be brave in proposing policies/reform that markedly improve their living standards. Refuse the deeply iniquitous/elitist ideology of neoliberalism that has resulted in burgeoning global inequality. www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...

Australia complicit? We’re up against the unwillingness of authorities/countries to implement their obligations. When there is an absence of accountability, the cycle continues: Israel has now committed a genocide with impunity due to the absence of accountability. michaelwest.com.au/sydney-peace...

INNOCENT TILL PROVED GUILTY is the most important principle of democracy, one of those tricky rights, that, at times is difficult to defend – the desire to punish wrongdoing without a court’s verdict lives within us all.

ZIONISTS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DESPERATE: Doctors who have publicly opposed Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza say Zionist litigation is deeply hypocritical as the lobby has spent the past 2 years orchestrating campaigns to silence pro-Palestinian voices in medicine michaelwest.com.au/zionist-lobb...

Why China DOESN'T need economic growth at all costs: 1 Migration (the contest FOR migrants - not against!); 2 Robotic AI (the rapidly vanishing jobs market as robots/AI take over) and 3 the rise of Democratic Socialism (people have had enough of neoliberalism). www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...
