  1. There are lessons here for Australians.
    “There will be no explicit agreement needed,” she goes on, “but gradually, people will avoid that one word that is deemed ‘problematic’. It is the word genocide in Germany today; in other countries, it will be other words.”

  2. The new uncomfortable normality
    No Worries? Australian attitudes to national security, risk and resilience (report): National security starts at the front door – not at the territorial borders.

    "For most Australians, the 18-month research project revealed, national security starts at their front door – not at the territorial borders of the island continent. It showed they are worried the country is not prepared for the demands of a volatile 21st century in a polluted information ecosystem, where the rules-based international order is crumbling, economic precarity has become uncomfortably normal and trust is more fragile." >>

  3. CW: #Auspol Albanese wants the temperature turned down on the violence he supports

    #AnthonyAlbanese: "Turn the temperature down. Turn the temperature down. Turn the temperature down. We need #SocialCohesion."

    Also Anthony Albanese: "I support a(nother) illegal war of aggression that is happening so quickly that even as I'm speaking they just killed over 100 school kids but I still want to make sure I jump in with my unqualified support as soon as possible. How else will people know where I stand on this decapitation of #InternationalLaw launched by a pair of sociopathic megalomaniac authoritarians, who have been cooperating for some time now in a genocide (that I've been doing my bit to help arm as well). After all, we have #SharedValues with these two rogue states."

    Or in short: "Burn it all to the ground! (But turn the temperature down while you do so)"

  4. The ‘pleasant fiction’ of a rules-based order has been blown apart. It’s time for Australia to codify a bill of rights

    "Clearly something needed to be done to reinforce the rights and safety not just of the Jewish community, but all Australians."

    "The immediate response to criminalise and punish was understandable – outlaw hate speech, ban hate groups, prohibit demonstrations and phrases, make the hatred of other human beings and their views go away by force of law and ministerial decree."

    "That human rights were again reduced to a debating point in a political game pointed to the need to better define the rights and responsibilities of all citizens and residents."
