Living in South Oz on First Nations lands. For justice and evidence based policy
Reading through the Liberal Party’s "Everybody hates Dutton" document, there is no criticism of the nuclear policy. Only that no third party backed it well and it was poorly communicated. This zombie hasn’t had its stake.

Breaking: AG Michelle Rowland has announced today’s Standing Council of Attorneys-General (SCAG) will focus on one type of racism, Antisemitism. I guess they can’t discuss other forms of racism when Jillian Segal, tied to extremist group Advance, is also attending.🙄

No-one wants a beer with Cory, totally understandable. Though a bit concerning to reading South Australian monied worthies, Michael Hickinbotham and Darren Thomas are One Nation adjacent.

Federal police raided Dissent Bar in Canberra and stripped anti-fascist posters off the walls under Labor's brand new hate speech laws. Not a Nazi compound. A local café with political art. This is what biased laws look like in practice. 🧵

Australia - 2nd biggest natural gas producer in the world and yet its beer drinkers who pay more in taxes (to the tune of $1.2 Billion). Pocock is right - what the fuck is going on in parliament?

Peter Goldsworthy calls the scheduling explanation why Thomas Friedman did not appear at Adelaide Writers Week as "BS". Thoughts were that "If only Friedman had a platform on which he could have called this out." Guess the New York Times just doesn't have the reach.

"It would greatly facilitate social cohesion if the leaders of Zionist organisations could trace the true source of discomforting, community criticism back to Israel rather than to the broader Australian community." And if Zionists were not setting policy.

The dishonest campaign against Louise Adler from the right-wing press is pretty good evidence that the interest of newspaper editors in a Royal Commission has little or nothing to do with protecting Jewish participation in Australian public life and everything to do with silencing dissent

Following the cancellation of Randa Abdel-Fattah and the subsequent withdrawal of 100+ writers and half the board, ‘Adelaide Writers Week’ has rebranded as ‘Adelaide Writers Gatho’. The internationally acclaimed event will now be held at the West Terrace MacDonalds on 1 March, 2pm - 3pm.

BREAKING: 3 members of the Adelaide Festival Board have resigned after it refused to reverse its decision to rescind Dr Abdel-Fattah's invitation. No statement has been issued but their names have been quietly removed from the website. Four people are now responsible for the ongoing crisis.

Wonder why there has been a huge reaction? In the 65 year history of the Adelaide Writers Festival, this appears to be the first time a writer has been officially dropped. On all other occasions the Board has stood by its invited authors, even amid backlash from outside interests.

The festival Board claims "that Randa's very presence is not 'culturally sensitive'. This claim exemplifies anti-Palestinian racism and scapegoating of Palestinians in the supposed name of Jewish safety. We stand with Randa and all those who have withdrawn from the festival in solidarity." 💥🎯👏👏👏

“Cultural sensitivity” means destroying an entire arts festival rather than allowing a Palestinian person to come along and talk about her new novel.

Going to be interesting to see how many writers withdraw from the Adelaide Festival. Probably not enough to make it unviable, but I suspect enough to hollow it out. This isn't a theoretically neutral code of conduct, but specific targeting of an individual writer because of her "vibe".

And there it is! It had nothing to do with drugs. It's the BRICS system threatening the US Petro$ dominance. "... since 2018, Venezuela has sold 100% of its oil exports to China, with transactions settled in yuan, not dollars. Moreover, Venezuela became an official BRICS+ partner nation in 2024.."
