And remember, "… New Zealand “came out of Covid with one of the highest vaccination rates in the world and fewer days in lockdown than nations like the UK, and during this time our country’s life expectancy actually increased”.…"

The ongoing loss of life, starvation and human suffering in Gaza is unconscionable and I do not accept that Australia's influence is limited. I have written to the Prime Minister asking him to use the authority of his office in a stand against the actions of Israel. #gaza #auspol bit.ly/4mz81ut

Gaza & the Voice to Parliament and Waitangi & Salvadoran gulags & South African “refugees”. All enabled by the hard graft of a network of networks to make people believe in racial superiority and wHiTe gEnOcIdE. #Auspol #NZpol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Completely agree with @lucyham.bsky.social observations that right-wing “thinktanks” create faux scientific bases [& in my opinion] with intended bigotry over many years, to: • passive-aggressively shun any modern or balanced discussion. • attack any diversity within a citizenship identity. #auspol

When RW - like Moira Deeming in recent podcast - spread White Genocide myths re South Africa. When support devastation of Gaza. When destroy First Peoples representation in #NZpol #Auspol When innocents are deported to gulags. All justified by biological racism, faux science gloss to old hate.

It’s frustrating that mainstream commentators assert prejudices are inherent and must be accepted in policy making. Actually, they are diligently fostered. Right-wing “thinktanks” have been creating faux scientific bases for bigotry for years. #Auspol #NZpol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

Just because someone is a socialist and a philosopher, doesn’t mean their ideas are of any greater insight than the average curmudgeon. 🥱 The anti-woke left and centre are so clumsy in their readings again here. Don’t bother with this silly pair and subscribe to In Bed with the Right.

My father (Stephen Charles fmr Vic JA) is *very* frail, so he can’t remember under which Vic premier he added not only a recommendation for a #machete ban but included the draft wording for a legal amendment to cover it in his judgment. He says 25 years ago so under Kennett or Bracks. #SpringSt

Just found it, @miriamcosic.bsky.social. One of my closest friends shared it on another platform. “These children are so malnourished they are wasting away. It’s shocking to see this degree of malnutrition.” - Dr Victoria Rose

As others have pointed out, we have UN reports, genocide experts and the world’s leading human rights organizations, all reaching the same conclusion—that Israel is committing genocide. And @australia.theguardian.com is using 'scare quotes'? There is no war in Gaza. There is only GENOCIDE.

This has never been about 'safety' for women. This has been, and always will be about stripping American women of their rights, their independence, their ability to pursue the careers of their choice, and pressuring them to birth babies and adhere to the stay at home wife/mother role the GOP wants.👎

More than 60 years ago, Kath Ryan was pulled screaming from her family in WA's Gascoyne region. Since then she's overcome adversity, reconnected with her mother and become a proud grandparent.
