Arts Minister Tony Burke made some remarks earlier this week about Creative Australia’s decision to ditch Lebanese Australian artist Khaled Sabsabi as the pick for the 61st Venice Biennale. They didn’t get much coverage but I can’t get them out of my head. So here you go.

We all knew Trump was going to betray Ukraine, there was never a question about it. It is vital for Europe to show a unified front without the United States and keep in mind that its interests do not align with the rest of the democratic world until Trump & his cabal is removed or overthrown.

Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: "Now, we will act to finally bury, with God's help, the dangerous idea of a Palestinian state," he triumphantly declared. Peter Dutton said Trump is a “big thinker” and he thought the proposal was part of Trump’s “desire to see peace and stability in the region”.

During Howard’s government people who opposed him made the mistake of turning Howard into a monster instead of treating him like the small minded suburban solicitor he really was. Let’s not do this with Dutton. A greedy Queensland property developer is easy to take on. Don’t be afraid. #AusPol

ABC Australia squibbing it. - 'Awkward' in the headline. - Item buried near the end of the article, and listed as 'bizarre'. - And of course "both-sidesing" the story. Fucking shithouse ABC News Australia. Appalling, trust losing, gutless by either Lucia Stein and Rebecca Armitage, or editors

During the past year, I’ve been thinking about the ethics of continuing to cite research and data published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), due to serious questions regarding ADL’s research methodology and accuracy of data — and the public statements of ADL’s leadership. I’m done thinking.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Dutton’s ‘nuclear’ fantasy is just that. It’s designed to pretend he has economic strategy while supporting BAU with fossil fuels and corporate ownership of politics. It’s facilitated by Murdoch. It requires anyone with any intelligence to suspend disbelief. Why do it? The Emperor has no clothes.
