We're not talking to each other @crouton
There's an old joke that goes:
If reality conflicts with worldview, then reality must be wrong.
Minds aren't changed by facts.

Landmark ruling - Latin America’s highest human rights court found countries there are legally obliged to protect people from climate harms. This obligation includes tougher govt regulations for fossil fuel extraction

#auspol has no such law
Public statement on the Australian govt's intention to "adopt a definition of antisemitism that mendaciously defines criticism of Israel as a form of antisemitism."
"The Australia Palestine Advocacy Network (APAN) calls on the Australian government to remove Special Envoy for Antisemitism Jillian Segal from her position"...
... "following revelations that Segal’s family donated to.. a far-right group that has promoted.. anti-Palestinian racism."

Two-thirds of Australians want a review of AUKUS, while less than half think it will make us safer: poll https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/two-thirds-of-australians-want-a-review-of-aukus-while-less-than-half-think-it-will-make-us-safer-poll/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=two-thirds-of-australians-want-a-review-of-aukus-while-less-than-half-think-it-will-make-us-safer-poll#Auspol
I do what I can...
'Blueprint for silencing dissent'
Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism' outlines plan to curtail public media's coverage and criticism of the Gaza genocide.
A 61yr old woman who fled GAZA has been raided and detained, no not in the US, here in Australia! The Albanese Government is carrying out the work of DT's ICE right here in AU!
"security checks were made on her by both Australian and Israeli authorities before she was granted a visa and cleared to leave Gaza" and asking the ENEMY (Israel) for clearance on a person was such a brilliant idea wasn't it.. Idiots!
Sometimes, the little guys win.
A property developer tried to muscle out vulnerable residents in Sydney’s inner east — but the court sided with justice. The boarding house stays. The community holds.
A small but powerful win for people over profit.
