We wouldn’t be surprised by such behavior from the conservatives (they gave up on Christ-like behavior long ago) but we hold this mob to a higher standard - let’s hope they hear the disgust from their constituents and pull their heads in.

Bonus points if “conservative” voters for their part would start criticizing their politicians for instead being extremists.

Her inevitable clashes within Labor will eclipse anything she experienced in The Greens.

Albanese declared the senator’s departure was a sign the Greens had become an unrecognisable party after they blocked housing bills last term and focused heavily on the war in Gaza.

And yet she is the only Greens member to have publicly used the slogan “From the river to the sea…”.

Regardless of one’s stance on Gaza politics, Albo is being disingenuous. He is merely gloating about the defection.

And why gloat? He still needs the Greens on board to pass legislation.

Senator Dorinda Cox called One Nation leader Pauline Hanson a “f—ing retard” in a text message leaked after she defected to Labor, showing the depth of anger toward her in the Greens

That’s petty of the Greens.

Yeah it seems to merely be a business decision, less about a conscience and more about avoiding losing more anti-trust suits.

The conservatives won the Presidency. Now the liberal PM is calling for a vote of confidence (why?).

Israel had 5 collapses before Netanyahu got back in.

I cannot find his ten points anywhere. Not even on his party website.

And false RAT negatives are common but false positive RAT’s are rare but it happened to me once - I followed up a positive RAT with negative PCR.

Am not surprised. Would have required higher social standing for you to have such access ;)

The Eulogy Song is definitely still relevant…

Diana died with Arab semen on her dress?

People are not “placed” on the floor that is what you do with bags, boxes and rubbish. But that was the word used by the Northern Territory police to describe the sequence of events to the media.

Of all the things that went wrong the journalist leads the story with a criticism of the grammar? People are “placed” under arrest, placed first in a competition, placed in a job etc

Tragically, painfully, I think it says a lot.

Desperate for a hot take? Exploiting the tragic death for a literary career beyond journalism? I admit to not reading the article so maybe I am being too harsh - am sure someone here will tell me if so.

I followed the instructions. I don’t like those Arabic numerals so I used Roman instead.

I had Covid last week (my 3rd bout) and it was milder than any cold. Hopefully it is like that for others.

I only bother RAT testing because I visit my elderly Mum daily.

Had 6 shots but last one was about 18 months ago.

Do you have an example of such violence in Gaza pre Oct 7 and post settlement withdrawal in 2005?

The blockading is because in that time Hamas and PIJ were sending missiles and suicide bombers into Israel.

There was retaliation each time. Disproportionate because it was meant as a deterrent (obviously it failed to deter though).

On the contrary, Ireland has been trying to get the official definition of genocide changed so that it can match what is happening in Gaza but cannot get enough countries on board.

Furiously? I am not the one making ad hominem attacks. I am not putting words in your mouth. I declared no such thing. I bring up uncomfortable facts.

There is no such thing as a mainstream political bloc. 5 coalitions were tried and quickly failed resulting in renewed elections before Netanyahu won. There are Left leaning Israeli parties (who value liberalism, unlike Hamas) but I am pretty sure they don’t want to vacate the Levant either which is what these discussions always seem to come down to.

Jews aint leaving. Arabs aint leaving. Get real. I don’t know how they can make it work. Neither of us has a solution.

Do you really need to resort to name calling and bullying? There are reasonable arguments to be had.

You call it genocide but I do not accept your redefinition of the word. Do you call Russia’s war on Ukraine genocide? Russia targets purely civilian towns with drones and missiles (unlike Gaza situation) but it isn’t genocide. I can acknowledge that despite being pro-Ukraine.

And you want what? Israel to roll over and allow continuous repeats of Oct 7 (which Hamas vowed to do, on the record)?

Here is a more mature argument you could have used against me: How would Israel know if all of Hamas surrendered anyhow? What could possibly count as a surrender?
