CW: #Genoocide
You have a reflex response when a guest uses the word "genocide" (the one that Israel is doing, not the ones done to Jews, Armenians, Aborigines.... apparently). Francesca Albanese pointed out your ridiculous position really well on Radio National this morning.
Do not redefine #genocide.
I'll give you a hand: In the ninth ed. Macquarie, it is on page 649 between Genoa cake and Genoese. This word is not fuzzy. The actions of #Israel (and the planned actions of the #USA, announced by their President) are very clearly genocidal. As an organisation who's profession is words, you should be confidently using them in the manner the dictionary documents, then standing firmly behind the battlement of the definition.
(It is worth looking up the writings of the brilliant Raphael #Lemkin too - particularly the bit about preventing the 'rise of future Hitlers'. Maybe it is time for a Background Briefing about the word.)

How in the world can we allow the #corporateMedia to even depict #JohnHoward in any kind of positive light.
We live on a desert island lacking large hills and mountains that could store water etc. and yet, he bribed people to procreate. It was called a #BabyBonus, he also abused refugees (cynically, admitted 2014 on #RadioNational) and increased #immigration to such extreme levels that it had the effect of draining our #productiveCapacity (see #holesAndHouses).
He'd be bet on an #imprisonList.
