“the police have shown they will tackle extremism or racism wherever it occurs”, says Minns, a lie. The NSW Police stand around doing nothing during nazi rallies and the NSW Police kettle and tear gas and assault and injure and criminalise protestors for Palestine.

Minns is back up demonising protests against genocide. Not the nazis. He complained about a swastika on an zisraeli flag but not swastika-tattooed white males parading around Parliament House with their Abolish the Jewish Lobby banner.

This has been annoying me all week

One of the main reasons I enjoy the show 'House' is because 'Dr. House' is also what a hospital is.

People give to charities out of altruism. Learning that a charity has quietly scored, ranked or behaviourally targeted donors can undermine the meaning of giving itself.

The company allegedly took payments through Centrepay over six years from over 3,400 customers who had closed their accounts and owed no money, including one customer who paid $11,000. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This is probably the most serious I've ever been about anything

How DARE anyone suggest Royal Commissions have ever achieved anything for anybody. And how DARE anyone suggest they don't.

If you normally report to Centrelink today or tomorrow (Tuesday or Wednesday), you need to report TODAY in order to be paid on time. www.servicesaustralia.gov.au/public-holid...

#BREAKING 🚨 Australia to demand 'full reparations' from English Cricket Board at IMF talks

If @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social proposes to legislate against speech and protest on the basis of his beliefs and views, and we are also to take what legal advice he has as an article of faith—we must all state clearly that he is a committed, long-term, active supporter of the state of Israel.

Barmy Army loudly celebrating a passing shower at 2-0 down in the series when they need a win 🫡

Allegra Spender is proposing a Minister for Social Cohesion which is the most embarrassing proposal so far. Genuinely even more embarrassing than all the racist ones.

🚨 #BREAKING Ben Stokes has been appointed Head of Innovation at NEOM

Minns calls these laws "extraordinary". He's certainly right on that. It's not what you see in a liberal democracy. Charitably, you might compare it to Singapore, less charitable comparisons could go much darker.

Shocking to blame Gaza protesters (which include his own MPs), but even more disturbing is the rationale for protest repression. It isn’t about risk at the event. It’s that expressing contentious political views might vaguely undermine community harmony. The problem is political expression itself.

Remember when this bloke in 2020 thought the ALP leader should be Eddie McGuire?

Yeah well he's out now and he got 30

Travis Head bowling right now:

I don’t want to be alarmist, but this isn’t normal. While attention is fixed on Trump’s overt authoritarianism, we’re quietly eroding safeguards against it in NSW. The NSW Labor Government certainly isn’t a Trump - but they’re undermining our institutional protections against one.

When police and ministers can wholesale shut down public assemblies across an entire state, via administrative decision, without a defined or contestable risk threshold, without judicial authorisation, and keep them shut for months… truly a grim moment for liberal democracy

Commentators being very overly complimentary of this England team for keeping their 4th innings chase below 500. When they are obliterated later today to make it 3-0 in the series everyone will instantly forget all the lies they told about the state of the game.

Inglis has looked worse than basically all our tailenders in this series lol

Also: the NSW Police authorised a nazi rally (“Abolish The Jewish Lobby” etc) in front of NSW parliament 6 weeks ago. But it’s the bridge protesters calling for a ceasefire that are the problem? Srsly

Massive infringement on civil rights, from a government that has presented zero evidence that the killings were even linked to Gaza, let alone to public protests.

Yeah, making it illegal to protest a genocide is going to help 🙄

it’s giving bjelke-petersen www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

‘We did nothing wrong’: seven men released from custody in Sydney deny Islamist links

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

This morning a senior police officer interviewed live on ABC said these men ‘shared ideologies’ with the Bondi attackers. All day another story ran from an ex senior police officer who is advocating for police to have high powered rifles on their bodies or in their cars. Excuse my scepticism.

every mainstream outlet has completely buried the lede on 7 men whose cars were rammed by NSW Police in Liverpool. They are all released without charge into the community. Not even ASIO, with its extensive powers to detain, applied to keep them incarcerated. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Controversial (to say the least) Morgan SMS poll being widely reported in the field, among other things gives respondents a long if still somewhat incomplete list of possible culprits and asks who is to blame for "the terrorism our world is living with everyday"

Focussing on this from a pure security perspective, it’s wild that an IS-linked attack was just carried out in Australia and we’re barely talking about it - the focus is on protestors and universities. www.afr.com/policy/forei...

Because we’d have to have a discussion about why Australia is a target for Islamic terrorism. Can’t have that.

Sandilands, eddie mcguire, nova peris. Why should any of us take this fucking thing seriously

#BREAKING 🚨 Osama Bin Laden criticises Albanese's weak leadership on antisemitism in POWERFUL Australian op-ed

Set up a commission to methodically work out what happened, how it happened, and how it could be avoided, and then recommend a response. But ramming through a bunch of hastily cobbled together bullshit in close coordination with lobbying groups might make people think you’re ‘doing something’!!!

It doesn’t even matter what the context is, a government announcing sweeping changes to the law and granting themselves a suite of new powers in an urgent and immediate response to an event is fucking suss

Everyone knows about Ahmed al-Ahmad, the Syrian Muslim migrant who took down one gunman. Another man, a Middle Eastern refugee, ran into a firefight and kicked the gun away from the other gunman. Police shot him, and bystanders kicked him in the head while he was down, thinking he was the terrorist.
