One can only hope that the implied right of political communication in the constitution forms the basis to a challenge to this authoritarian proposition.

Who gave the conservative Zionist Jewish lobby this out of proportion power? How is it that both maior parties are captured by around 100,000 of them - a tiny fraction of the Australian population? Is it their disproportionate wealth and the political donations that flow from them? Whatever it is. both parties have hitched themselves to a tiny group that support and encouraqe a heartless massacre that's a war crime by all international standards and a war criminal in Netanyahu who rivals the worst of the worst.

What have we become?

The power of the these secrete organizations in Australia to manipulate our Government to do its bidding is to behold. As "Gideon Levy" article headline "Israel's Cynical Double Standards in Its Response to the Bondi Massacre."

And Netanyahu, via his envoy Jillian Segal, now controls education in Australia. How quickly it happens.

Here is a short analysis of the Special Envoy’s report on Antisemitism in Australia.

TLDR, it’s an insult to social sciences, it probably wouldn’t have passed an ethics committee review on a research setting. And yet, it is now an official document, about to be enforced.

And of course, it is unclear how any of the recommendations make Jewish people in Australia any safer.

First Nations people, refugees, dare I say women, and many other groups have reason to understand that it’s always been like this, but Australian complacency and our insistence in vassal statehood as made us hostages to fortune. We should have realigned with countries of the so-called global south long ago. Not too late to join the Hague Group, but sadly our so-called leaders don’t have the imagination.
