United States has deployed tens of thousands of largely uneducated, unfit, untrained 18 to 50-year-old predominately white males, morbidly badged 'police'.
Masked, costumed and wielding military grade weapons, these roving gangs racially profile and abduct people, sometimes in a targetted fashion, sometimes at random.
Competing federal and state administrations and the gross politicisation of the judiciary have allowed this activity to expand exponentially as rule of law breaks down and physical assaults and disappearances become common place, often going unchallenged excepting the occasional heroic actions of individuals and small groups of civilians.
'The Jews' aren't the problem - ultra-right toxic masculine zionists are the problem. Just as ultra-right toxic masculine Christian nationalists are the problem. Just as ultra-right toxic masculine Jihadists are the prob -
'Australia was the first country in the world to introduce plain packaging...'
As health minister in 2010, Nicola Roxon pioneered plain packaging for cigarettes and has gone down in history as a fierce and successful opponent of big tobacco.
In 2024, Michelle Rowland scuttled gambling ad reforms and bans (, to the delight of her former bosses at Channel Nine and the CEOs of Seven and News,) and will enjoy her position as a primary patron of social poison, every bit as destructive as cigarettes.
'United Nations Children's Fund estimates 90 per cent of all schools in Gaza are damaged or destroyed, with schools being used as shelter for survivors.'
Israel accuses Australian Prime Minister of fabricating evidence of starvation in Gaza.
Expel the ambassador. Slap the war criminals with sanctions. Appeasing this rogue nation, tolerating its genocidal war, constant insults and lies demeans all Australians.
Age identification, content walls, classification rules, search restrictions.
Primary objective of Australian govt appears to be getting everyone verified to use popular aspects of the web, with 'protecting children' as a secondary objective and stalking horse. To identify everyone online.
(That only works with a renewed push to ban or restrict VPNs - yes, laughable, they're an important backbone of much online infrastructure but that didn't limit past attempts - so expect those to come under fire eventually.)
What's missing is explaining the wholistic and overarching policy, instead of this piecemeal rollout, which given the objective is clearly the last thing the government wants to do.
