"The report found Israeli authorities and forces had continued to 'commit genocidal acts' even after the so-called ceasefire in Gaza, 'with the intent to destroy the Palestinian people'." No surprise that this got hardly any mainstream coverage. #GazaGenocide www.nine.com.au/world-news/m...

theguardian.comThree things the Albanese government could do right now to make people feel better offThere are plenty of reasons why Australians feel ‘mad as hell’ at the moment. These three economic policies could restore faith in politics and bring some relief * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast In the 1976 movie Network, news anchor Howard Beale tells TV viewers to stick their heads out their windows and yell: “I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this any more!” It’s a sentiment that resonates today in Australia and across the world. In October, consumer sentiment at home fell to levels more often associated with recessions, despite the fact that the latest GDP numbers show the economy grew by a real 2% over the year to June (that is, 2% over and above the rate of inflation).

Hey @albomp.bsky.social - this is getting confusing. Time to tell the Australian people whose side we are supposed to be on: Ukraine's? Or Trump & Putin's? And then explain how having dozens of US bases on Australian soil - or Australian military bases controlled by the US - makes us more secure?
