The Israeli hostages will be received into Israel by well-stocked and highly functional hospitals with significant allied health supports. The same cannot be said of the Palestinian hostages when they return to Gaza. Allan Elliott, Northcote The Age, letters

The high ground

Not just that you will be punished for standing up for the oppressed, but that you will be ritually humiliated and made an example of. Hello, world?

Sometimes - for no reason at all - I look back at what the former ABC chair Ita Buttrose said during this front cover story for Stellar magazine.

I have been taking surfing lessons. Still in the beginner kook trenches, but celebrating my last time on a foam board 😎 Graduating to a hard top next session. It’s fun to learn new things! Even if you look like a goober at the beginning. 🏄🏽‍♀️

Politicians' investment mortgages are being paid by renters, while the politicians benefit from investment tax concessions. No politician's family unit with more than one investment property should be allowed to vote on legislating restricting negative gearing or capital gains discounts.

If you buy your sandwich for the day instead of making it at home you're costing yourself about £25 a week. £1300 a year. Over ten years that's £13000! Which isn't anywhere near enough for a house deposit so people who bought their house in 1995 should stfu and let you yum up your sandwich.

A bit perplexed at the headlines about today’s #marchforhumanity saying “perilous” and “police feared the worst”. Surely the story is that, in spite of police fears, the march was peaceful, demonstrators full of goodwill and happily cooperated with police instructions to manage the huge turnout.

Ok… who keeps creating this man… 😂😅🤣 Whoever it is, thank you. 😂😅🤣

One would have a hard time attempting to find @MaryKostakidis making antisemitic remarks scrolling through her feed on X, she hasn’t done so. She has criticised only the political and criminal acts of the Israeli state. #auspol #antisemitism #IsraelPalestine

Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment. Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off. 📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

Not been well this week & have been thinking about my value as a disabled (autism+ADHD+PMDD) human & been comparing myself to others (never good). When I feel low I make miniature posies. I’ve been mocked for them before but they lift my mood-I hope this one lifts yours. Maybe a small life is ok…

What do you call it? My @smh @theage cartoon.
