Social cohesion is fragile, but Australia can rebuild it, Anne Aly says Radicalisation expert turned federal minister Anne Aly says reaching out to people susceptible to extremism and helping them reconnect to their communities is essential.

Aly blows it big time with her pathetic "social cohesion" excuse for punishing Muslims at the behest of radical Zionists... and the ABC gallops in to do her propaganda

There are no β€˜spare’ crew on a submarine. Everyone works in watches, as part of the overall machine. At β€˜action stations’, by default, all crew are involved. A firing evolution is an action stations event.

There were no β€˜non-participants’ on that submarine.

Guy alters my cartoon by AI in a way my workplace lawyers specifically advised me against, posts his version which violates my intellectual property. I ask him repeatedly to delete, he admits he doesn’t know how then tells me to provide the legal argument for him to do it.

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

Pro-Palestine protest organisers β€˜a pack of communists’ intent on confrontation with police, Minns tells budget estimates New South Wales premier faces questions over what he told MPs who attended demonstration opposing Israeli president Isaac Herzog’s visit

"The New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, has labelled pro-Palestine protest organisers β€œa pack of communists” as he continues to blame them for violent clashes with police last month, amid ongoing dissent among Labor MPs about the government’s response."

of course Albanese DOES support one kind of discrimination - positive discrimination of one over-represented group, Australian Zionists. You're right, a good journalist would ask why instead of swallowing the platitude

News live: Greens senator David Shoebridge says Australia is β€˜part of an illegal war’ as PM confirms Australians on US submarine Follow the latest updates live

Hey @australia.theguardian.com -
why the journalistic cop-out of "Shoebridge says..."?

What's the evidence say?
Every international law expert would agree with the Senator.

Your story should be focused on government deceit and a complicit opposition. #auspol

Anthony Albanese has confirmed that three Australians were on a US submarine that sank an Iranian warship, after the Labor government earlier refused to comment on reports that emerged on Thursday.

The prime minister said the Australian defence force personnel were on the submarine as part of an Aukus training program.

But he maintained that Australian forces were in compliance with international law, and said: β€œNo Australian personnel have participated in any offensive action against Iran.”

News live: Albanese confirms three Australians onboard US submarine that sank Iranian warship Follow the latest updates live

Ah, so our sailors who were in the sub, that sank the boat and killed the men didn't take "offensive action against Iran".

Kind of like how the Australian made jet parts, which open the bomb bays, to drop the bombs on civilians, schools, hospitals, residential buildings in Gaza, aren't weapons.

Police Minister Dan Purdie told parliament on Thursday the laws were necessary and powerful.

"Jewish Queenslanders simply don't feel safe. They don't feel protected," he said.

"This government is committed to ensuring all Queenslanders can live free from hate and violence."

Mr Purdie said the government was taking "decisive action" by enshrining the phrases into legislation.

This quote from the Police Minister: β€œThis government is committed to ensuring all Queenslanders can live free from hate and violence." So you banned some words!
