I think Australians are more worried about how gambling advertising is hurting our young people than how a ban could impact sporting codes and media companies. We need to put people first and implement the Murphy Report’s 3 year phased in ban on all gambling ads. A small levy

Gotta love how bros distance themself from hysterical women. It's all part of the strategy laid out by Chomsky himself. No sausage roasts allowed.

Police confirm the man accused of throwing bomb at the #InvasionDay rally is a “Nationalist” radicalised by “pro-white” material. After falsely blaming pro‑Palestinians for Bondi, will the media & politicians get it right this time & demand action to tackle Far-Right extremism?

Francesca Albanese wasn’t just sanctioned. She was put under US sanctions used against terrorists. Why? For exposing US tech giants’ involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Read that again. A UN human rights official. Sanctioned like a terrorist. For documenting genocide.
