@ellymelly True. Thanks

That he totally misses the point. Most news outlets have a sort-of ban on Tommy. You can interview radical Islamists or Indigenous activists who think race taxes are moral - but they draw the line at Tommy... Unpicking how media works is not worth the effort. People are shrugging and switching off.

"It's actually about shared values. It's not about what your culture is." - Russo on Bolt Report. No, actually, we have an Australian culture and that culture MATTERS. People can come here and assimilate into it BUT IT IS STILL A UNIQUE AND PRECIOUS CULTURE. Not just a random collection of 'values'. Our ancestors created something. They died for it. And it is being erased. Imagine reducing any other culture to 'values'. If the Liberal reps are going to speak about our culture like this, why vote for them? I've remembered why I don't watch this stuff anymore. I'm only hanging around waiting for Pauline Hanson's tribute to Teena McQueen.

@AuronMacintyre A past Australian Prime Minister said "If the bell tolls for Israel, it tolls for all mankind."

We’ve reached the “if you don’t want a forever war you’re an antisemite” stage of neocon spiraling

@kausmickey USA Federal elections are ridiculous.

"the onus of proof remains on those of us who believe that millions of ballots have been falsified." chroniclesmagazine.org/web/democrats-… That's maybe true if you're trying to overturn an election. But if you're trying to enact a voting system the onus should be on those who designed the system to show it eliminates as much as possible the possibility of believing ballots have been falsified. Suppose, Party #1 designs a system that's completely transparent, except that at one point in the voting process all ballots are taken behind a black curtain and only emerge an hour later. Party #2 cries bloody murder, claiming there must be vote fraud going on behind the curtain. Is the onus on them to prove such fraud in a particular case? Or is the onus on Party #1 to enact a system without a massive 'occasion of fraud' built into it?

@SkyNewsAust I missed it because I had changed channels to miss the WTC.

Channel 9 has received an intense lashing from furious State of Origin fans after an ad break meant viewers almost missed NSW's opening try in Wednesday night's clash. skynews.com.au/australia-news…

@WillKingston @HonTonyAbbott @GBNEWS How do Western democracies find a way to deal with the flood of Islamic legal and illegal 'migrants'?

I’m chatting to former Aussie PM @HonTonyAbbott next week on Fire at Will from @GBNEWS. What should I ask Tony👇

@mboudry @IzaTabaro @Quillette Palestinian propaganda through the 'left' has been incredibly successful. Sad to witness.

Here are some harrowing testimonies from Jews still living in the West (for now), from @IzaTabaro in @Quillette. These are the flames that all those useful idiots in academia are fanning. "Musician and writer Deborah Conway talks about a call from the director of a writers festival, telling her there's been pushback against her participation in the programme. He assures her everything is fine, but at the festival, she finds herself surrounded by heavy security. At one panel, people rise to their feet, unfurl signs, and start screaming at her. In Brisbane, a dozen masked people pound on the glass of the bookshop where she is speaking, screaming to globalise the intifada, while policemen do nothing. Intimidation bears fruit: music critics sidestep her new album, and she can't book venues to perform it in. Her public presence is quietly diminished. Has anybody noticed? But it doesn't stop there. Large social media accounts target her daughter, an online food personality. Her hummus adds to Palestinian suffering, apparently, so they threaten to show up at markets where she sells the food. "She had to pack and leave," says Conway. At those markets, did anybody notice she's no longer there? There is a history of Jews vanishing and others choosing not to notice. "I don't know where the Jews who lived here went—they just moved out at some point," was a common postwar refrain about the murdered Jews next door. Some of the most striking testimonials in "Some Were Neighbours," an exhibit originally shown at the Holocaust Museum in Washington, DC, come from German Jews recalling non-Jews disappearing from their lives as the antisemitic Nazi state asserted itself. One-time friends, neighbours, classmates, colleagues, dance partners, lovers just marched on into the promise of a great new German future, leaving Jews behind. So strong was the sting of this personal betrayal that neither the horror of the genocide that followed nor the passage of time diminished the force of its memory. Another testimony from the present: Joshua Moshe, an award-winning saxophonist and composer. His career is destroyed after his bandmates of seven years publicly expel him from the band via a social media post declaring that they do not tolerate Zionism in any form. Other fellow creatives follow: one pulls out of a joint show, another withdraws performance rights to his song. Invitations vanish. It's business, nothing personal; these are the times. Nobody wants to lose work "by association." Doxxed and targeted in a "coordinated online pile-on across every channel," Joshua and his wife make a hard decision: move to another part of Melbourne for the sake of their son, who is also now being threatened. As they pack up their gift and homewares shop, passers-by scream, "Good, we don't want Zionists in our area." If you want to understand what it feels like to watch one's world narrow, with the walls closing in on you, ask Moshe: the "relentless" abuse left him "with anxiety, night sweats, an elevated heart rate, and an inability to sleep," he told the Royal Commission. He felt "devastated," sensing that his life "was starting to unravel—not knowing what would happen."" quillette.com/2026/06/01/ope…

Since October 7, Jews and Israelis across the West have faced a surge of hostility: verbal abuse and harassment, vandalized synagogues and cemeteries, campus intimidation, social ostracism, threats of violence, chants to "globalize the intifada," and relentless pressure to answer for the actions of a foreign government. And eventually also violent assults and terrorist attacks, which is exactly what "globalize the intifada" means. Many have been forced to conceal their identity—removing their kippah or Star of David, avoiding Hebrew in public, scraping Israeli flags off their laptops. Israeli academics have been disinvited from conferences, excluded from collaborations, and treated as pariahs by former colleagues and friends. Israeli-owned restaurants have been targeted and forced to close. Jewish academics are resigning from universities and leaving Europe. For many, daily life now involves broken friendships, hostile chants, professional isolation, and a constant calculation of when, where, and how openly they can still be Jewish or Israeli. And yet thousands of academics have decided that now is a wonderful moment to further fan the flames—calling for even broader boycotts, harsher denunciations, and deeper exclusions. They insist they are targeting institutions, not individuals. But the practical effect is to stigmatize and isolate Israelis and their collaborators, regardless of their political views. And they never denounce all the violence that is being committed against individual Israelis and Jews. I am disgusted by the state of academia today. And frankly, @stephenfry, it is profoundly disappointing to see your name attached to this campaign. You are one of my intellectual heroes—not only as a writer and comedian, but as a defender of liberal values and a critic of ideological dogmatism. Yet here you are lending your authority to a movement that promotes institutional boycotts against one single country that happens to be the only Jewish one on the planet, while repeating some of the most inflammatory accusations against Israel: genocide, apartheid, the deliberate targeting of civilians. Here you are supporting a profoundly illiberal ideology that wants to expel Israeli academics from all collaborations. As I wrote previously, Israeli universities enrol tens of thousands of Palestinian and Arab students, often supported by government programs, and they are filled to the brim with staunch critics of the Netanyahu governments. You are now punishing all THOSE people. What were you thinking, Mr. Fry? From my Quillette piece: "In liberal democracies such as Israel, universities are indispensable parts of civil society, which facilitate the critical examination and questioning of government policies. Despite the country’s flaws, such criticism is still very much possible in Israel. Those who oppose the policies of Benjamin Netanyahu and his far-right coalition partners will find numerous allies among Israeli academics. Many of them took the lead in the protests against Netanyahu’s dangerous judicial reforms of 2023, which threatened Israel’s democratic character. Finally, Israeli universities enrol tens of thousands of Palestinian and Arab students, often supported by government programs. They too will be targeted by a blanket boycott of Israeli universities, which will in no way contribute to peace, but will instead further weaken the constructive and liberal forces in Israeli society." quillette.com/2024/06/10/ope…

@RealMarkLatham Maybe, but Ponga was very good. The send-off was ridiculous. Blues should not be cheering - 13 on 12 for 23 minutes.

Reece Walsh at home: I wouldn’t have done that.

@GrayConnolly Ridiculous send-off. Hollow win. No praise deserved.

Never doom. One of the gutsiest New South Wales' wins ever. On to Game 2 #Origin

@RealMarkLatham Are ISIS pro Israel?

Michael Danby on Sky News arguing that the ABC and our universities led the two terrorists to Bondi on 14 December. I’m sure that would be news to the Akrams who absorbed ISIS propaganda and training. Let’s be clear: the NSW Police have classified the Bondi massacre as an ISIS attack, not motivated primarily by anti-Semitism. Unfortunately, when it comes to the power of the organised Jewish Lobby, facts and evidence count for nothing. It’s just the vibe.

@RealMarkLatham What about Thommo?

@GrayConnolly @VeryInsig The RSL should have decided on 1 of the other 364 days not to have included a WTC.

@VeryInsig We have one day of the year for a reason & it is not for behaving like yahoos and idiots - if people have issues there are another 364 days of the year to raise them

In national politics as in life, you get the opportunity every now and then to rise above the silliness and not take the bait … because the “us” actually matters. Clearly this Anzac Day is not the time for Barnaby and all too many others

@ClimateAudit @AnnCoulter Ann, please stop this poor Iran bad Trump shit.

Maryam Mirzakhani, the first woman to win the Fields Medal in mathematics (the Nobel of mathematics), studied at Sharif University of Technology - which was just bombed by US-Israel. No US woman has ever win a Fields medal. The moral descent of USA continues lower and lower.

@ellymelly For every BYD electric vehicle imported we should send China a lawyer.

We have too many lawyers, unionists, and staffers in Canberra. There are not enough small business owners, workers, or normal f-ing people.

@MRobertsQLD Keep up your great work Malcolm.

During Estimates, I tabled a graph from the ABS, showing that electricity prices surged by 23% over two years. While the Government used temporary subsidies to mask the pain, those subsidies have now ended, leaving millions of Australians to face the brutal reality of a 16% "catch-up" spike in their bills. During our exchange, I pointed out that while subsidies briefly brought headline inflation down to 7%, the underlying cost of power never actually fell and that once the relief stopped, the inflationary shock would be incredible. The RBA admitted that headline inflation would rise as rebates expired, yet they continue to "look through" these costs to focus on their own definitions of underlying inflation. I discussed with Governor Bullock on how these soaring energy costs are gutting our national productivity. While the Treasurer talks about "strong real wages," everyday Australians know the truth when they see their grocery bills and insurance premiums. The RBA believes inflation expectations are "anchored," yet you can’t anchor a household budget when the lights cost 23% more to keep on. You cannot subsidise your way out of an energy crisis. You only delay the pain. During this session, I also asked some questions on Central Bank Digital Currency, quantitative easing, credit creation and funding the deficits., and I thank Governor Bullock for her well informed and honest answers.
