Well, either that or threaten their capital.

I’ve been so busy I didn’t even notice the 2026 Victorian state election approaching at the end of the month.

A few comrades are discussing this ad, and while it does take a workerist perspective, I think that’s fine for what it is and it’ll probably go down well with the general population as a whole without becoming an issue for those not currently working.

Yay!

Nearly one-third of respondents expect their lives to get worse over the next four years. That is up from 29% last year.

… Is that 33% ? 32% ? Guardian pls

Interesting section on Immigration and Multiculturalism

The A in “mAsked” is valid to create wordplay, I respect that.

The rest might all be syphls. Or perhaps it’s Armageddon minus Oxygen.

Could you expand on this?

The most I do is a raffle at the pub a couple of times a year, but I treat it as pure fundraising. I literally don’t even want the prizes and give them away.

I saw a thread elsewhere with people retelling stories and it clicked with me how early this, and two-up, were introduced to us, but also how it was often introduced through institutions such as schools and workplaces.

At least it wasn’t a dolphin’s blowhole.

A beautiful read

Thanks! I found a high resolution version of that picture to work with from a stock image site (unnecessary in this case but good practice), then used GIMP (other photo editors can do the same) to Fuzzy select (aka. Magic Wand) the white background areas, shrink the selected area by about 10 pixels to retain a small white border, then delete the selected background to leave it transparent. With a bit of experience, this doesn’t take long to do as the plain-coloured geometry is easy to select.

Tattooed on my face too.

Mobbs had real trouble convincing his local council to let him disconnect from the sewerage system.

The Jewish Council of Australia are pretty cool from what I’ve seen.

I also like the design of the stick figures, although I think the Four Hands is a better logo in this context. Here’s a tidy version.

Where is this assumption coming from?

The article supplies a small amount of counter-evidence, even:

The Health and Community Services Union, meanwhile, has eight members running this election – none for the Labor party it is affiliated with. Its secretary, Paul Healey, has signed off on flyers encouraging members to support the Greens and Socialist candidates.

I’ve witnessed a small amount, and am also aware of organised antisemitism through neo-Nazi movements. And from my perspective, the fact that I’ve seen less of it than anti-indigenous/Arabic/African/Muslim bigotry doesn’t make it any less real and less important to stamp out alongside other bigotry.

(It probably helps that I don’t spend much time in places where people are comfortable expressing bigotry).

The first except in bold and italics is extremely ridiculous. It’s a wild implication that the point of “far-left activists” is some conspiratorial antisemitic plot, rather than economic change and improved conditions for society as a whole. No good-faith interpretation of the mainstream nor radical progressive causes can possibly see them as movements which champion bigotry such as antisemitism. I’ve only heard of one case, in five years, of someone trying to participate in an open community discussion taking an antisemitic perspective, and they were quickly made to leave the premises. We don’t tolerate bigotry.

I have said it before and I will say it again: anyone who talks about “left-wing antisemitism” like it’s a real problem which presents a real threat is a lying manipulator and should be treated as such. They are pretending to believe things that no one actually believes in order to promote the interests of a genocidal apartheid state.

Many of my comrades are anti-Zionist Jewish people, a tendency which predates the “State of Israel” by over 50 years which cannot be trivialised. JAO48 are front and centre in almost every protest on the ground I’ve seen in Sydney.

Segal recommends the implementation of exclusion zones for protesters, a ban on face coverings for demonstrators, extra review measures for people who are in this country on visas, and extra oversight of public broadcasters the ABC and SBS to ensure fair and balanced coverage of Israeli atrocities.

For those who didn’t see, ABC and SBS already said “No.” to an ombudsman for antisemitism. Of course, but still good to see.
