The landmark report on Islamophobia in Australia attributes little significance to a major Islamophobic hate crime committed on this country's doorstep by one of its citizens.

I am feeling very snubbed by the fact that not a single one of the senior people in Australian national security who I have rubbed shoulders with over the years has ever thought to cc me in an OPSEC signals chat about a forthcoming military operation.

I’ve got a piece up at Crikey today on the NDIS. There’s been a concerted campaign to attack the NDIS in recent months, and it’s been massively dishonest
www.crikey.com.au/2025/01/24/b...
loading . . .
No, the NDIS is not ‘strangling’ the economy
Accusations against the NDIS are fuelled by a worldview that sees supporting the most vulnerable in our community as an unaffordable cost, while tactically ignoring the benefits.
