Listening to Parliament, as you do - LIB Member for Moncrief delivering an economic speech that is so full of holes It’s bloody ridiculous. Polies mouthing the lines of #Business, #Grifters and #TheivingCorporations. The #AlboPM govt may be #Timid, considered #Ineffective and #Unrepresenting #LaborValues, but by golly, those #Libs are a sorry bunch of puppets.

The UK has condemned #Isreali actions in the #GazaStrip as #EthnicCleansing. Richard Murphy claims, presumably as the UK Govt would, that this is not calling what’s happening in Gaze a #Genocide. My Q is, when is ethnic cleansing not genocide?
When the ethnic cleansing is not 100% of the population? When the killings of an ethnic community does not amout to 100% of the its numbers? By this reckoning, the Holocaust was ethnic cleansing then… How abhorant is this play on words when faced with the resolute and calculated mass killings committed by #Israel. I also welcome the lastest condemnations (from twelve coutries… so far) of Isreal, its govt and the military. Sanctions do not go far enough. Now if only #TimidAlbo would step up…“It is very welcome that the UK government has made some important distinctions.
It has said that criticising anyone for being Jewish is unacceptable. At the same time, it has made entirely clear its view that criticising the Israeli government is not an act of antisemitism, because, of course, it never could have been.
It has made clear that Israeli occupation of the West Bank is illegal, which as a matter of fact, it is.
It has said that Israeli action in Gaza amounts to ethnic cleansing, because that is what it is and what it has been from the outset.
It has not yet said that the Israeli government has committed genocide, but it has made very clear that it is inclined to think that is the case and that it would support legal action to confirm that opinion.
These are major restatements of UK foreign policy, and without exception they are welcome.”

@jhaue
It’s not just the UK, it’s twelve other countries including France!
#AlboPM is surely captive of the #ZionistLobby. Shame on you #Anthony. -
@ketan
Freeking environmental vandals, the lot of them.STOP THEM NOW!
Strengthen #Datacenters #Regulations NOW. You pathethic, weak, #Labor Govt. Yes, I’m looking at you #AlboPM/Frustrated with bought pollies/
It occurs to me that it would only take every politician less than 30 minutes as they lie in bed each night before sleep to check out a couple of #IndependentNews outlet in order to #ReadTheRoom. Because they sure aren’t doing that now… reading the room that is.

A good recap from Natalie Whiting (ABCNews). And while I don’t wish to add to the newsmedia *Beat up* it has so obviously become (as well as a political jab from Tri-Opposition), it does highlight #AlboPM ‘s *faux pas* in a monumental error of PR exercise for which he is paying dearly — as he should. I say this because the #PM would’ve been briefed on the *Cultural* significance of #TakaiichiPM ‘s State gift during her visit to Australia. Hence there is no excuse for *wanting* to pander to a stupid show host’s crass proddings. This is all on Albo (and whomever convinced him to go on these #Nutter shows), even as the Japanese govt wishes (despite its ambasadorial opinion piece), in true face-saving efforts, to sweep it all under the carpet. See, nothing to see here.

I can’t say I wasn’t aware of the greenwashing that’s going on on the back of the fuel tax credit (FTC) scheme, but it doesn’t hurt keeping up to date with the rorts purpetrated by our mining and extracting industry giants. This tax-payer funded rort, just keeps getting better and better despite the revelations in independent media. Not that our #Labor govt is inclined to stamp it out apparently. Seems like we can do both, meet our paultry emission targets AND pay big poluters to, well… polute some more. How inane is that. This is govt taking the rest of us for #numpties. This BS can’t be allowed to go on. We need #AlboPM to end the FTC schemes at least for big business if he’s not gutsy enough to cut the #Farmers out as well.
“The analysis by Naru Research found the top 18 FTC scheme recipients, mostly multinational iron ore mining and coal companies, collectively received $3.3 billion in credits but only faced an estimated $150 million in compliance costs under the Safeguard Mechanism.
“Australia’s biggest industrial greenhouse gas emitters are being paid to pollute,” stated researcher Tim Baxter.”

@johnquiggin
I sympathise with your frustration John (not just about gun laws) and agree that while #Labor has moved its legisaltive agenda through parliament, there is little in it to establish any kind of ‘legacy’ for the #AlboPM govt. Not least of which is in Firearms legislation. Apart from knee-jerk useless quick-fixes around the edges, especially from States and Territories.From my perspective, any Federal ‘umbrella’ legislation to tighten up gun laws in Australia will run afoul of States and Territories govts. Case in point: though agreed by all jurisdictions, the Federal Gun Register proposed by the Howard govt is still to be delivered (and from an IT perspective, this is a no brainer). How then can any PM even think national gun laws are possible? Imagine the shit fight that would ensue were legislation to be tabled in Canberra to licence and control all 3D printers.
On the contrary, meaningful gun control law reforms must be undertaken by the States and Territories with the Feds providing guidance and funding — because funding is the elephant in the room, for all enforcement services. Not just those policing legal gun ownership, but border control, criminal intelligence, and gang taskforces, and then some. To put it into perspective, how long has our society been waiting to get gambling adds banned?
Any changes to gun laws/processes/regulations require cooperation and coordination at all levels of government together with sustained budgets adequate to the tasks. In our dreams…
I believe the idea that terrorist massacres, DV and Gang murders, can be prevented just by reducing the number of guns that can be legally owned is laughable. Our gun laws may be in need of reform to keep them relevant in changing circumstances like any other law, but if you cannot effectively police them no legislation is going to make any impact at all. Just as no amount of policing is going to prevent illegal speeding on our roads or drunk driving — the later a loaded gun. In the end, society as a whole (not a tyranny of the majority) must want more policing and more effective gun controls if not an outright ban. NSW is, from memory, the State with most (legal) firearms and most por-gun voters. So, NSW is where it must start. But while Minns is in control you can forget it because he is out of his depth on this one IMO.

@26pglt
Political differentiation is what’s needed in a political system where all parties (even the #Greens afaik) are content to work with the current #Economic system which is stuck in a 40 year old dogma; that markets know best (aka #NeoClassical or #NeoLiberal economic hogwash clearly debunked twice since the #Thatcher and #Reagan anathema on #WealthEquity , #SocialLicence and #SocialDemocracy).Otherwise the electorate would wake up to the con job the polies perpetrate.
And 100% on #FirstNations and #TorresStraightIslanders, all players in the political arena have #Abandonned them as a result of #TheVoice debacle (thank you #Anthony for doing fuck all to make sure the referendum passed, it clearly showed whose side you’re on #AlboPM )
I’m fucking sick of all polies and their lies, redirections, misdirections and disinformation. I can see no way out of this except 1) a mother of all global financial crash, or 2) people’s revolutions worldwide, or 3) both. We’ve been taken for a ride for far too long IMO.
#AMyRemeikis rocks.

My question is: *Is the Govt reading this?*. They should, because the window on legislating bountyful #GasTaxes on the #SuperProfits currently enjoyed by the #GasIndustries is rapidly closing. If #AlboPM keeps going at his #SlugSpeed on this overwhelmingly supported #Tax there will be little to celebrate and Consolidated Revenue will not see its full potential (if Gas Peak hasn’t already gone past us).
The other important question is: *WTF is Labor even considering new #FossilFuel and especially #GasField exploration and #Exploitation licences* (in the NW)? What in blazes is he blind to? Is this a obvious case of #StateCapture by preferential and idiotic treatment? How can the *whole* of govt, the pollies, the public service, the NGOs all be going along with this #Circus ? No detractors to be seen in the halls of power? Could #AlboPM really be pulilng *ALL* the strings? Is everyone with one ounce of *decision-making* authority hell bent on maintaining the current economic *joke* ? If not, then why aren’t we seeing a backbench and crossbench revolt in Partliament. Why aren’t we seeing public information flooding the news medium? Why aren’t we seeing GOvt taken. To Court on their failure of *Duty of Care* ? Class actions filling the Courts’ agenda. The #Greens flooding us with outrage at the inaction we observe and which makes us angry?
I have a lot of questions… and so far, no answers! There has been no better time to see that doing the same thing and expecting better results is either a conspiracy (lead by the #RentierClass and its minions) or wholesale brainwashing of the power elites. WTF will it take for the electorate to demand much *Better* from our representataives?

@Godfrey642 @fixatedpersonsunit
Bugger, and #SBS was my last resort for news since I no longer watch the #ABC.Our bloody govt should pull out all stops and do something about our #NewsMedia lanscape. We can’t allow wholesale right wing brainwashing of the Australian population. #AlboPM should sack the ABC management and put some #RealJournalists in charge while simultaneously strengthening the ABC code of conduct in line with those of the #AustralianPublicService
