The government is today selling changes to HECS indexation as cost-of-living relief. Here is the same government in June last year (when that horror 7.1% hit) telling us that changing the way HECS is indexed would not actually help with cost-of-living.
The lesson of literally almost every single successful social movement in modern US history (women’s suffrage, civil rights, LGBTQ, Act-UP, antiwar, disability rights, etc) is that dissent *must* produce disorder to provoke the kind of response that enables meaningful change.

There's zero evidence that any aspect of welfare reform is something the Albanese Government 'would like to do'. Plenty of reforms on the table that'd make a measurable difference and cost the budget absolutely nothing, AND a Royal Commission to respond to. None of it appeals!

There should be a law that binds governments to the recommendations of reports they commission because 1. get pressured on issue 2. announce an inquiry on the issue 3. ignore the findings is a classic ALP issue management pipeline and also a huge feeding tube for consultancies

We are being asked to be horrified and disgusted that people in this country are protesting this. We are being told - by organizations, institutions, the news media, the Biden administration - that the real threat are those who stand & resist against this depravity.

Australia’s response to the worst-ever mass mortality of corals on the Great Barrier Reef is to “scale back environmental reforms” - and issue more permits for coal mines and fossil gas.

They’re not even uncomfortable let alone unsafe. Zionists are angry Karens, in a state of constant, racist hysteria and rage, calling the cops, “get me your manager”, etc., over the most trivial shit because they know they can. Their behaviour is entitled, not uncomfortable.

Zadie Smith argues that protest slogans are “weapons of mass destruction” in a new pretentious and navel-gazing article and she does it while a literal genocide ravages Gaza. I am sick of ignorant and tone-deaf writers who feel like they can lecture us from their lavish homes.
The government is today selling changes to HECS indexation as cost-of-living relief. Here is the same government in June last year (when that horror 7.1% hit) telling us that changing the way HECS is indexed would not actually help with cost-of-living.
The rich assholes in charge are not victims Albanese’s raise is higher than poverty payments jobseeker/disability pensions which Albanese not only refuses to raise but deliberately votes to keep us in poverty Billions for war weapons, genocide and nuclear waste dumps though
This constant framing of “poor Labor” while we are going hungry and facing homelessness, while ppl are still forced onto income management and cruel mutual obligations because the government chooses this for us, makes me feel like we don’t matter and that Palestine doesn’t matter

“I don’t know why these kids don’t want to talk to me. Now, to write my piece depicting them as authoritarian zombies.”
The kids are demonstrating incredible levels of media literacy, message discipline, and self-awareness, and it is driving professional journalists up the wall.
When protests are not about actually explaining your cause or trying to engage journalists who are there to listen. @Peggynoonannyc describes her visit to Columbia before the raid.
- no quotes from Palestinians - no quotes from camp media spokespo - copious airtime for zionists and zionist sympathisers posing as bothsides experts - thinly disguised disappointment at the peace/absence of confrontation - token mention of anti-zionist Jews - “complex”
also the USyd VC estimate of non-USyd people at the camp - in solidarity with Palestinians in GAZA who are suffering a genocide - is not clarified. Most are students and faculty from other Sydney unis. Yet media let “outside agitator” narratives float, unanchored, unevidenced.
these reporters refuse to broadcast the actual demands of Gaza solidarity camps, which are for universities to divest from weapons corporations and a ceasefire. To stop the genocide. Instead, the framing is of unnamed latent not-happening potential unrealised threats to zionists.
the ABC has decided to call actions against genocide “pro-Palestinian” and zionist agitators “pro-Israel”. These labels are couched in quotes from white academics and zionist organisation reps expressing “feelings” about the “safety” of white people at prestigious universities.
My husband, Prof. Steve Tamari, is out of the hospital. He will need surgery on his hand, and he is in pain from nine broken ribs. We are asking for time to rest and heal. We will not be taking media interviews at this time. Here is Steve's statement and ways you can support.
