Increase in religious schools and home schooling could prevent ‘deeper social cohesion’, Julian Hill says

The Jewish Council of Australia condemns Benjamin Harnwell's appalling comment at the Advance conference and call on our leaders and the Antisemitism Envoy to speak out in condemnation.

Since 2001, "the population increased by 34 per cent"; during the same period "the number of homes in Australia increased by 39%." The LNP is being disingenuous, and factually incorrect, that too much immigration has caused our housing crisis ... more lies! 😎 www.thenewdaily.com.au/finance/prop...

Of course being the nephew of the Attorney General has nothing to do with getting no jail sentence for killing an Aboriginal person and showing absolutely no remorse only further racism. None at all. They said so. 🤬

Laura Tingle on the money as always. Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich: "We will continue to kill the idea of a Palestinian state".

A large number of Jewish Australians oppose Herzog's visit. Sadly, our govts are only listening to anti-Palestinian pro-genocide Zionists. #auspol #CancelHerzog #IsraelTerroristState #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Albanese says Isaac Herzog’s visit will bring unity – but to many Palestinian Australians it’s a ‘slap in the face’

For every time the political and media establishment repeats the big lie that Herzog is visiting at the request of "the Jewish community"....

Human Rights lawyer Chris Sidoti condemns the visit by Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Australia. #auspol #CancelHerzog

As we bear witness to the ongoing horrors the Israeli government commits against Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, these images remain emblazoned: The destruction of human life and of property, city streets bombed, the destruction of mosques, homes, universities and hospitals.

You may have missed the news this week while certain groups focus on themselves, but Australia’s grid has hit a new milestone.

NSW Labor MP Anthony D’Adam deserves to be commended. His letter to Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke is worth reading. He asks the minister to investigate potential foreign interference by Israel in Australia after Israel published a dossier conflating criticism of Israel with antisemitism. #auspol

For the victims. My @smh @theage cartoon.

This morning, the Israeli military targeted and bombed a vehicle carrying employees of the Egyptian Committee for Gaza Relief, killing three journalists while they were on their way to document a newly established displacement camp.

Today’s comic in @australia.theguardian.com It’s only mid January and we’ve had destructive cyclones, deadly heatwaves, bushfires followed by flash floods and the cherry on top, a coal approval!

This is absolutely obscene. Tax the rich.

How inspiring that Louise Adler, a prominent Jewish Australian, has taken a stand, and spoken out, on the dangers of censoring diverse voices undet the guise of promoting “cultural harmony”. A must read for all Australians www.theguardian.com/culture/2026...

Palestinians in the occupied West Bank are experiencing the highest rates of settler and state violence in recent history, as the Israeli government enacts new policies to accelerate the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and apartheid.

One hundred writers withdrawing from Adelaide Festival Writers Week is an important stand for free speech, and against the racist targeting of Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. The question now is not so much who else will join the boycott. But who remains? And why? www.indailysa.com.au/news/just-in...

I think this is a great summary of the Zionist influenced events in Australia recently. youtube.com/watch?v=UEdh...

100%. We’ve seen the dossiers on individual targets that get compiled and sent to institutions in coordinated assaults. They’re incredibly detailed. The intended effect is overwhelm, and most institutions are not equipped to understand or resist it.

Says it all. The past week’s politicking in a nutshell.

Kym Davey and me today on why a Bondi royal commission is not needed Rethinking the call for a royal commission after Bondi johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

Much frustration over the last weeks about MSM/ABC as they refuse to play their vital role in our democracy - & the sad truth is they are never going to change So we have to We've plenty of great independent media to consume & support here #auspol > docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Not surprising that Israel’s list of most “antisemitic” Australians is only a list of people against genocide and contains not one far-right/Nazi. 🫡 to those on the list

It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

Ultimately, it is for us to decide. We all have agency. Do we want this atrocity to become a bloody milestone along the path of further polarisation, or the moment where we chose comity over mutual hate? www.theage.com.au/national/don...

Similar to the Australian model, the French idea was a verification system similar to the one it had used since 2024 to prevent minors accessing pornographic websites. Setting a precedent, Australia stood up to tech oligarchs who only care about profits. 👏👍😎 www.thenewdaily.com.au/life/social-...

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy. For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy. The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.
