    Anti-Semitism envoy, condemner of watermelons, declines to comment on Nazi terror attacks on First Nations and Palestinians

    Summary for flaky, attention-span deficient types: First Nations and Palestinian allies stood strong against Nazi assaults in the Melbourne CBD, and at Camp Sovereignty, while the “Anti-semitism envoy” Jillian Segal refused to condemn the Nazi terror attack and rallies. *** This is a tale of two cities and two gatherings of racist, genocidal supremacists: one…

    Cui Bono? Australia’s pivot to Iran, and Israel’s influence

    ASIO Chief Mike Burgess stood next to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke as they delivered a “disturbing discovery” to the Australian public. The announcement revealed that two of the antisemitic attacks, including the Adass Synagogue arson attack, were the responsibility of foreign actors connected to Iran.…

    Bendigo Writers’ Festival And The Curious Case Of The Missing Democracy

    It started off well enough, as all well-intentioned stories do. The Bendigo Writers’ Festival’s marketing for their August event had gushingly told potential attendees all throughout 2025 that this year would be a festival for ‘readers, writers and creative thinkers’ (except for people thinking creatively about genocide, however we digress) and more importantly that, “this…

    Two states of bullshit

    Following the lead of ousted Senator Fatima Payman, Prime Minister Albanese this week reversed his long-held position of ignoring the ALP’s platform, announcing Australia will recognise the statehood of Palestine at the UN in September.  The remnants of the glacial, melting western liberal order, Macron in France, Carney in Canada, and Starmer in the UK,…

    Debating dickheads doesn’t ‘expose them’, it empowers them

    If you ask those who take part in debate content, it’s just the modern version of important discourse to find solutions to the world’s problems. If you ask those who make the content, it’s easy viral content. If you ask those who watch it, it’s just WWE style entertainment. All those people are partially right,…

    A comprehensive list of the non-lethal parts of my big death plane

    Like a toddler running from her own soiled nappy, petulant despite the stench, Penny Wong, Foreign Minister, this week unloaded on the ever-soggy halls of Australia’s Parliament, saying: “We are not supplying weapons or ammunition to Israel.”  “As part of the global F-35 supply chain, we are supplying components and parts that are non-lethal in…

    In a sick world, centrism makes monsters of us 

    Please, if you would, sit down, pop the kettle on, and allow me to explain in totally non-genocidal terms why baby formula is banned from entering Gaza.  Without spittle frothing, without kicking a puppy in the face, I promise this makes as much sense as liberating the women of Iran by bombing them, and “stabilising”…

    Australia’s shitty media missed the significance of Albanese’s China visit

    In six days, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited three Chinese cities, including a symbolic stop at the Great Wall, where he made key announcements affirming the vital Sino-Australian relationship. As the Trump administration sidelines Australia and global dynamics shift dramatically, the trip carried undeniable strategic weight. Yet, the Australian press corps largely overlooked this pivotal…

    None of this passes the pub test

    It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen when Australia’s Antisemitism Special Envoy released her Special Report. Well not quite a cold day in April, but I’m sure you get the gist. It’s no coincidence the words of George Orwell’s famous novel on censorship and authoritarianism have been quoted…

    Israel: silencing dissent everywhere

    In June of last year I received a distressed call from a friend. A man she barely knew had sent her several vicious text messages completely out of the blue. My friend only knew the man in a professional capacity, having hosted a few online meetings of a group he’d been part of. Apart from…
