They’ll have killer drones that israel is currently testing on children in Gaza to keep you and the rest of the non loyal unwashed masses away silly.
Oh god he’s gonna kill someone
Hmmmm, I don’t think nuclear makes much sense in Australia when we have an abundance of renewable resources available to us. Nuclear energy has never been known to be cheap and rapidly deployable. If we were going to go down the road of nuclear power we will have to start from the ground up given our utter lack of nuclear energy industry. This would take so much time and money. Why do that when we have sun baked deserts, are girt by sea and have every key mineral under the sun.
The only logical explanation is that they want the genocide. Nothing else makes sense at this point.
I just don’t like the British lifestyle being forced down my throat. They even have an anthem and such. Why can’t they just be quietly British. I don’t rub my non-Britishness on them.
If she could win without budging on gaza then she would have just learned that she doesn’t need the antigenocide vote for her re-election campaign. The issue would most likely be completely dead to her.
We all know that when someone says “israel has a right to dEfEnD iTsElF” they intend for the statement to be a thought terminating cliche that supports maintaining the current status quo. That is, a genocide in Gaza.
I think whats missing from many analyses is the general unhappiness people have with the current system. People are suffering now under establishment politics and they don’t believe that more of the same will improve their lives (citing, justly, at least the past 16 years as an example). They are hungry for something radically different. Trump appeals to that sense of radical change on the right. The democrats have blocked their own left wing alternatives and stuck with running establishment candidates.
I don’t believe the economy will do better under trump. I don’t believe people will do better under trump. He is a fascist and his populism is all based on dangerous ideas and lies. However, I am also terminally online and politically engaged. I can easily imagine how someone less engaged can be duped by his lies. It is therefore essential that the democrats provide an alternative left-wing populist candidate that also promised genuine changes to the economic system. So that these voters have someone to turn to who isn’t trump or the inevitable future trump clones. But they’ll never allow that to happen. It threatens their donor class too much.
I've often assumed Harris didn't want to insult her boss by going against him, because I got the impression she was planning to give Netanyahu what for once she took over - especially with him escalating things further and further. Did anyone else get that vibe, or was it just wishful thinking on my part?
Wishful thinking. There’s no guarantee this happens. You would have just removed the most powerful motivator for her to do something about gaza while simultaneously demonstrating to her that she had no reason to do so. All the while AIPAC and the ADL are breathing down her back and offering her bribes not to. It would be like expecting me to build you a house after randomly sending 1 million dollars into my bank account. Why would I? I have the money now and have given you no guarantee that I would do so in the past. You’ll just see me chilling in the Bahamas.
The left aren’t using those figures. Centrist neoliberals who the media class masquerade as the left use those figures.
Had kamela won she could have doubled down in Israel.
This is ridiculous nonsense. Why would she. The Harris campaign ran on the strategy that she could ignore the voices of Palestinians and their allies during the most vulnerable time for her. Why would she do anything if she was delivered into power. The whole point of her doing that was to prove that she didn’t need support from the antigenocide crowd. Why do you believe she would do anything if we gave her power. All the leverage is gone at that point. You are being delusional.
Isn’t it already known that the trump fans are zealots for him. The fact that people are shocked that they’ll turn out for him regardless of what he does surprises me. He practically said this in 2016 with his I could shoot somebody quote and he’s been proven right. The only way you beat trump is by having people turn out to vote against him and to do that you need to run an inspiring campaign.
If not for ribgy why is it a perfect fit for rigby? Checkmate.
Then she should have picked the side that were the most likely to come and vote for her. She didn’t, she lost.
This atrocity happened under biden, is continuing under biden and was supported by Harris. Enough of this moral relativism. If the democrats wanted to end this they would have already.
Don't catch you slippin' now
Seriously, don’t slip. It will both literally and metaphorically cost you an arm and a leg in the states.
Or that other kid that got stuck upside down in the back of his car. Emergency services couldn’t find him in time and he died.
The L1 line packed
On a normal day the L1 line is pretty full from central, but on a rainy day when no one wants to walk and, the light rail is running less frequently the trains are absolutely packed and people can’t get on after Capital Square or even Central. Hopefully the metro can take some load off or there’s another plan to increase capacity.
An Australian aid worker has been killed in Gaza by an IDF strike
Australian Zomi Frankcom was among four foreign aid workers killed in an apparent Israeli air strike while providing food assistance in Gaza.
Watch as the Australian government condemns this in the weakest way possible.
Brother and sister killed in Heckenberg crash as police hunt for three men who allegedly fled the scene
Alina Kauffman, 24, had just picked up her 15-year-old brother, Ernesto Salazer, from his new job and were just metres away from home when their car was struck in Heckenberg near Liverpool.
I hope they find the perpetrators and absolutely eviscerate them in the courts. Absolutely heinous behaviour.
Defiant North Korea tells UN its spy satellite program is its ‘legitimate right as a sovereign state’
In a defiant speech to the UN Security Council, North Korea insisted its efforts to launch a spy satellite into space are transparent and within “its legitimate right as a sovereign state.”

Way too soft a punishment imo
New research finds a direct causal relationship between unemployment and suicide, suggesting implications for public policy, writes Gareth Hutchens.
Now when economists say that we need to raise unemployment they should just come out and admit that they just want some Australians to die to keep the wealth ponzi going.
We could be wreaking havoc trying to reach the 2 to 3 per cent inflation target, writes business editor Ian Verrender. What if it's a goal that is unattainable?
I’m curious how long central bankers will let this go on for before they begrudgingly admit that they got it wrong. For the sake of those already made homeless, ill or dead from the current inflation I hope the central banks aren’t wrong so that their suffering wasn’t for nothing.
According to some economists, we need more unemployment in Australia to get inflation under control. But, Gareth Hutchens asks, do they know how jobseekers are treated?
Harry Triguboff requests NSW government fast-track rezoning eastern Sydney precinct so Meriton can build new homes
The email exchange between Harry Triguboff and senior New South Wales government figures provides a glimpse into the tactics the billionaire used to try and rezone an area around Little Bay.
Australia's second-richest man asked the New South Wales government to fast-track rezoning plans in Sydney's east, arguing it would generate "billions" and provide money for Lismore's flood victims, emails have revealed.
