Absolutely insane to withdraw resources from a UN aid program based on allegations alone from a country that just makes shit up on a daily basis
Allegations UNRWA staff were involved in the abhorrent October 7 terror attacks are deeply concerning.
Australia welcomes UNRWA’s swift response and will engage closely on investigations.
We are speaking with partners and will temporarily pause disbursement of recent funding.

“ … the media has a responsibility to tell viewers which team she’s batting for.”

i don't know how to pithily or accurately convey my feeling on this, but there's a real problem with people getting to elected office, at all levels of government, and then wasting everyone's time with bullshit rather than actually governing

NSW Police have staged a four-day crackdown on domestic violence, arresting a total of 554 offenders.
More than 1,000 charges were issued in the blitz, with 226 of the offenders arrested by police facing serious domestic violence offences.

This is the one instance of ‘Americans being baffled and appalled by Australian behaviours’ where they are 100% correct.

Sure, but the evidence shows loosening zoning on its own won’t help increase affordability. We need to do more than that.

remember kids, when you watch a movie, the actions of the main character are always endorsed by the filmmaker, and considered good and admirable
This is the most misogynistic film I’ve seen. A perverse man kidnaps a suicidal woman then transplants her brain (without her consent) with the brain of her foetus. She’s emancipated by having sex with lots of men (yawn). This film is not avant-garde, it’s glorified pedophilia.

It used to be ‘all australians’ and then it became ‘all working australians’. Now it’s ‘full-time working Australians.’ We’re absolutely fucked.
Australians who work-full time should be able to afford a house or cover the rent. We need to tackle housing affordability.
