Why is Israel following the orders of the crook Netanyahu? Put aside his past; the fact is that his attacks on Gaza mean he’s a war-criminal as well. The USA should stop supporting him

I’m NOTanti-Semitic, but how do the Palestinians justify stripping Palestinian men:?

The record temperature is a stark warning.
We ignored the warning in 1856 (yes: almost 170 years ago: see the warning by Eunice Foote in 1856)
Can we act on it now?

This Chanukah, our thoughts are with the Australian Jewish community, including those who lost loved ones in Hamas’ horrific attacks.

We know communities are feeling distressed by the ongoing conflict and its impact here.

We stand against antisemitism in all of its forms.

UNHCR said, in response to the decision: “the decision has the potential to begin to align Australia’s immigration detention practices with international law. “

About time. We’ve had people in detention for years: No court has said they should be locked up

On 9 November 1989 the Berlin Wall came down. In that quiet scene, an era ended: an era which marked all of us born after WWII

The No vote succeeds.
should be ashamed. He allowed lies to be told in support of the No campaign.
Why is it like a Qld police case?

If the referendum on Saturday does not result in a Voice for Indigenous Australians, it’s Dutton’s fault and the END of the Liberal Party. He devised or approved the lies which support the No campaign. It’s simple: we need to LISTEN to them.
On Saturday, vote Yes

Chris Kenny is right - the No campaigners are constantly playing the victim and it was Dutton’s nasty decision to lock his Federal Coalition into a formal No position that unleashed the beasts of division, misinformation, partisanship, politicisation and prejudice.

The earth is heating up.
Really fast.
We’ve known about the Greenhouse Effect since Eunice Foote wrote about it in 1856 (yes: almost 170 years ago).
We’ve done NOTHING about it.
It’s time to TRY to stick to 1.5 degrees warming. More than that: we’re all dead

It‘s horrifying how many lies the No campaign is telling. If you’re thinking of voting No, just read the proposed Constitutional change: nothing about a treaty, or taking your property. if you don’t know, read up a bit. Whatever you do, don’t fall for the lies.
Vote YES

Still having trouble with COVER-MORE Insurance . Now they want me to re-send documents I sent them ages ago.
And every email I send them provokes a standard response that they respond in 10 days.
How often do they do that before people give up?
