    VICTORIAN LIBERAL SENATOR Sarah Henderson made a goose of herself and her office by “grilling” the SBS about Eurovision during Senate Estimates on 28 May. Her big concern was why Australia didn’t give any points to Israel during the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final. She demanded to know what the selection process for SBS’s seven-person jury was.

    No one in politics is serious anymore. Those that are serious are a minority and most of them are serious about fascism.

    I’m not Australian, btw. Apologies if I’m speaking out of turn.

      I mean, I kind of agree with you but the Liberals are definitely a minority party now (let alone the fact that without the Nationals, they’ve always been a minority party). They’ve been ringing their death knell for a while now. I get what you’re saying and its intent but be careful you don’t accidentally call the Libs serious about fascism.

      It’s really just the Greens and Independents that are the real politicians these days; i.e. those that genuinely represent the views of their constituents.

    My favourite Jewish people are the ones who say “Fuck Israel” with the rest of us.

    20% are ill-informed or don’t want to be. 1 in 5 people thinking it’s excusable to mass murder your way to ‘security’ is a stain on our society. The society of the ‘fair go’, what? Any politician bringing up the Eurovision crap show can’t sink any lower. But maybe they can.

    "They called my dad the only rabbi in jackboots

    They called my mum the wife of my dad

    They circumcised me at the Nuremberg rally

    That’s how I became a semitic Nazi for life"

    Nice lyrics TISM!

      Leave Melbourne’s musical sacred cows from last century alone!

      I saw them perform live last month lol.

      They have plenty of songs about nazis, jews, politicians and SBS.

      Don’t get off the train a Caulfield.

    Why continue to keep trying

    To separate the real news from the lying?

    In the end it all comes down to this

    Turn off SBS.

    Only 80%?

    So 1 in 5 Australians are totally cool with the actions of that State?

    Christ. They’re slowly becoming the southern hemisphere’s USA but without the GDP.

      As the article says (which you didn’t read).

      Australia, in fact, now has the most unfavourable attitudes toward Israel of any Western nation. This month’s Pew polling data found 79 per cent of the public now feel unfavourable about it.

      So, I guess go complain about other western nations?

      That one in five may also be a bit nuanced. Every time Bibi gets in, it’s by a bee’s dick. That tells me that perhaps not all Israelis are in fact arseholes.

      As a citizen of a nation whose government has embarrassed me and made me ashamed of my nation in the past, I get it.

      Their government and any who support it’s actions - Arseholes. Israeli kids burning their national service letters - they’re all right.

        That’s Bernie whitewashing talk.
        They have a consistent history of massacres and ethnic cleansing.
        The vast majority are scumbags.
        Fuck that shithole
