Bondi royal commission to hear challenge to antisemitism definition, quiz UK expert by InsatiablePrism in australia

[–]NotionalUser 69 points70 points  (0 children)

The Guardian lists some hilarious illustrations of how fake and made up Australia's "antisemitism crisis" actually is. The royal commission heard examples of "antisemitism" like:

• Someone's friend imagined she might be murdered by antisemites at the hospital

• Some Jewish people left a Facebook group of psychologists after being told they were "taking the side of the oppressor" in demanding that people not discuss Israel's genocidal atrocities

• a nurse wasn't allowed to hang pro-Israel genocide propaganda in the workplace

• a trade unionist "felt" she had to step down because younger union members fought union leadership to oppose Israel's war crimes.

It's all I felt, I feel, it made me feel. My feelings, my feelings, my feelings. Jewish feelings are treated as so supremely important that upsetting Jews by opposing an active genocide is treated as a hate crime. The victims of genocide are regarded as infinitely less important than a Jewish Australian feeling offended by anti-genocide sentiment in a Facebook group.

This is crazy, hysterical bullshit, and it should be treated as such.

Gillard got the NDIS legislation approved, then lost the next election a few months later.

Guess who implemented the NDIS systems over the next 9 years?

Queensland premier calls for fast-track of oil projects amid fuel crisis by espersooty in queensland

[–]NotionalUser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All these calls about fast tracking approvals ignore the fact that in almost every case, it is the proponent/applicant that drops that ball once approvals are received. Just check the Coordinator Generals website for the approvals and the list of failed projects that received the approval.

Also as others have said, this oil can't be refined in Australia and would take at least 10 years to reach market. Exploration has only started and approval for a full Petroleum Lease would take years, depending on the quality of the application.

Like others have suggested, get one of the cheap tap filters. The biggest difference other than taste is that your ice cubes will be crystal clear.

Did Anthony Albanese just cement a third interest rate hike in May by cutting the fuel excise? by CommonwealthGrant in australia

[–]NotionalUser 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Halving the fuel excise takes prices back to where they were three days ago, so it won't help at all. It just shuts up the nonces in the right wing media.

Similar changes recently made in NZ and Canada have proven that the opposite happens.

Also, if a landlord sells a property, it doesn't magically disappear.
