Interested how he would be treated if he was on the Yes side.. Fairly sure it would have been spun in his favour.

Nah. There would have been plenty of merkins ripping in.

Well with sloppy Joe in charge it’s not like they have any loose change behind that couch. Must be all the money they spend on his depends.

It's pretty clear that Jo Haylen is desperate for some positive news atm, hence why she is releasing you tube videos like the following. Not sure her union mates at the RTBU will be pleased.

 

[the phantom menace]

f**king Jo Haylen... so upsetting!

I might post about her (again) every single day this week, until she re-signs, or until people move on and realise this has gone on in every minister's office for both sides of politics since the sport was invented!

(Nice video though... not sure of the source for the posted allegation, in this non-political infrastructure thread, that union people wouldn't like this video? Maybe they'd object to the soundtrack - it got a bit much for me around 90sec in!)

Far-right minister: Nuking Gaza is an option, population should ‘go to Ireland or deserts’

Far-right minister: Nuking Gaza is an option, population should ‘go to Ireland or deserts’​

A minister from the extremist Otzma Yehudit party says one of Israel’s options in the war in Gaza is to drop a nuclear bomb on the Strip.

Asked in an interview with Radio Kol Berama whether an atomic bomb should be dropped on the enclave, Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu says “this is one of the possibilities.”

Eliyahu, of Itamar Ben Gvir’s far-right party, is not part of the security cabinet which is involved in the wartime decision-making, nor does he hold sway over the war cabinet directing the war against the Hamas terror group.

The way the world is going it would not surprise me if this happened. As long as someone makes $$ out of it ..

It is complicated part XVII. Ignore the poster’s emotional text. I think he’s a pushing a barrow of preach. However why is big government labeling her slient protest as hate speech?

Yep I get both sides btw.

His hashtag though so ignorant

“From the River to the Sea” | #TranslateHate

What does From the River to the Sea mean and why are anti-Israel protestors chanting From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will be Free? See how “From the River to the Sea” is antisemitic.

RFK Jr. comes ‘home’ to his anti-vaccine group, commits to ‘a break’ for U.S. infectious disease research​

He then laid out his vision for a Kennedy presidency, which would include telling the National Institutes of Health to take “a break” from studying infectious diseases, like Covid-19 and measles, and pivoting the agency to the study of chronic diseases, like diabetes and obesity. Kennedy has suggested without evidence that researchers and pharmaceutical companies are driven by profit to neglect such chronic conditions and invest in ineffective and even harmful treatments; he includes vaccines among them.

“I’m gonna say to NIH scientists, God bless you all,” Kennedy said. “Thank you for public service. We’re going to give infectious disease a break for about eight years.”

Both the Shadow Minister for Trade and Leader for Opposition warned Albo not to waste this opportunity, as he MUST make substantial gains from this meeting.





Do they actually know why he is there ? Of course they do.

Have you ever used this website? It allows you to compare the true size of countries, without the distortion of something something that I don’t understand.

Anyway I have overlayed Israel and Palestine with NSW.

Hot take: a) Gaza, down near Goulburn has 2.5 million crammed in there. b) no way would Israel (pink) drop a nuclear bomb in their own backyard. Very silly comment.

That's crap how small Gaza is. There wasn't 2.5 million living there when it became Gaza though but still.

It wasn't really split up to well doesn't help that Egypt and Jordan also ran both Gaza and the West Bank at stages..

I just don't understand how it's the year 2023 and people can still be living in poverty. Well I can buy next post .
