One day, I’ll be standing in an auditorium full of undergrads teaching them about Nazism and Zionism under the same module.

Richard Marles on this morning talking about the Aust sanctions against Russia & assistance to Ukraine. The conversation then moved on to how we need to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jewish people.. the Fed Labor refusal to acknowledge Palestinians is inexcusable

MLMIAI Anti-immigrationists: racist dog-whistling isn’t the answer. Housing is a human right for all. Govts need to end neg gearing and capital gains discounts, regulate Airbnb, stop construction monopolies, more public housing & tenants laws to stop bad conditions and rent increases.

'The claim that people in Gaza can move to “safe” or “humanitarian” zones is false. Each time, it puts the lives of civilians at serious risk.
Gaza does not have any safe zones.   
No place is safe.   
No one is safe.'

'caging 2.3 million people inside a 360 sq km Squid Game & eviscerating their hospitals, homes, playgrounds, mosques & refugee camps is a rational act of “counter-terrorism”. A sad but necessary chapter in a “war” we should all unequivocally support, morally & materially'
