I completely understand the dream of this couple and I would love to do it myself, but it's wholly unsustainable to allow people to set up home anywhere.

If I hit a cop, I can be killed. If a cop hits me, I can sue. And they get no consequences.
"It is my experience that many illegal drugs that are extensively used on the street result in people becoming extremely unpredictable, irrational and violent" says unpredictable, irrational and violent copper.
Dehumanising much?

From the OnePath Network Facebook group (link at end of post):
"NSW Premier Cancels Annual Iftar Following Deteriorating Relationship with the Muslim Community
NSW Premier Chris Minns has cancelled the state government’s annual Iftar dinner for the second time in three years, citing “consultation with Muslim community leaders,” amid escalating tensions between the Minns government and sections of the Muslim community. Several leaders say the cancellation reflects a deeper breakdown in trust. Lebanese Muslim Association Secretary Gamel Kheir described the move as “heartbreaking,” adding that under the current climate “no Islamic leaders would have attended anyway.” Liverpool Mayor Ned Mannoun went further, accusing the Premier of having a “fetish” for attacking Muslims. The cancellation of what has traditionally been a symbolic gesture of inclusion during Ramadan has been interpreted by critics as a sign that relations have deteriorated beyond ceremonial repair.
The strained relationship has been building for months, fuelled by the government’s handling of protests in Sydney, the fallout from Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit to Australia, and the Premier’s refusal to apologise after police forcibly removed Muslim men praying outside Town Hall during a peaceful protest. Community advocates also point to newly introduced hate speech laws, which they argue disproportionately impact Muslim and pro-Palestine voices under the guise of maintaining public order. While the Minns government maintains its approach is focused on safety and social cohesion, critics say the pattern of rhetoric and policy decisions has created an atmosphere of alienation. As Ramadan unfolds without the state’s official Iftar gathering, many see the cancellation not as a logistical decision, but as a symbol of a relationship that has become increasingly fractured."

The 2024 New South Wales council elections are happening today. Don't forget to vote, and get a Democracy Sausage at the exit!
Notably, this election will be affected by an administrative bungle by the RWNJ Liberal Party of NSW. 140 candidates for 16 councils failed to get their paperwork submitted in time so aren't on the ballot.
Also notable, the ballot this year has approximately 120 conspiracy-theory nutjobs, anti-lockdown nutjobs, COVID-denial nutjobs. It's an extraordinarily high number of "fringe" candidates.
Vote-counting will begin at 7:00 tonight, with results for most seats to be announced tonight. Postal votes and seats that are so close they'll require a recount could take a fortnight or more.

It's only a landslide if it occurs in the Landslaadé region of Western Australia. Otherwise, it's just a sparkling drubbing.

And while Liberal Party is better than other states in NSW, it is difficult to admit you have an ugly baby, and the Liberal Party needs to have that conversation" — Liberal Party Strategist Tony Barry.

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @[email protected] @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook There's a bigger national question out of tonight.
Over the past decade, the Libs have blindly followed Murdoch's lead.
They've pushed culture wars, they've resisted climate action, and they've privatised public assets. They've tried Islamophobia, homophobia, outright racism (particularly against Africans and Aboriginal people), and transphobia.
And now they're out of office across the mainland. Federal and state.
Maybe pretending this is America and playing to "the base" isn't working so well.

@dropbear42 @lilstevie @[email protected] @wintermin @kentparkstreet @snowchook Chris Minns is also thanking all his extended family, unlike Dom, who forgot to thank his brothers.
Tonight's result just wouldn't have been the same without them...
