Some Police think they are lawmakers-they are not
Now the police want to influence immigration policy. I blame it entirely on Peter Dutton, of course. For a retired policeman, he seems not to understand the most basic tenets of our legal system. How Australian democracy works Put simply, so that even coalition...
Dutton has set the country back 50 years
From the moment the Liberals lost Aston in a by-election, Peter Dutton had to find a way to keep his job. Why not try and ruin Albanese’s simple plan for a better Australia, by doing what every other lazy wrecker has done? Make it all about race. Albanese thought the...
Dutton is eerily familiar to us, and not in a good way
Reading Nikki Savva’s The Road to Ruin is a depressing read, because it validates what many of us believed before Tony Abbott became Prime Minister. Tony Abbott and his road to irrelevance Many believed he was unelectable. He lacked seriousness. He lacked grace. He,...
If I Were Going To Commit A Genocide
If I were going to commit a genocide, I’d make sure to kill as many women and children as possible to eliminate the future generations of the people I was trying to wipe out. Come to think of it, I guess I’d basically do what Israel is doing in Gaza.
The Goal Is Ethnic Cleansing, Not Defeating Hamas

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley): Sometimes Israel’s crimes are so horrific that at first you don’t even understand what you’re looking at. You just stare at it trying to make sense of what you’re seeing for a bit, like you would if you

The Journey of ‘In my blood it runs’
My birthday just gone and I am 17 years old now. When I was 10 I was the star of a documentary In My Blood It Runs. It’s a story about learning in schools that only teach in English. The film is about racism, fighting for justice for Aboriginal people
Indigenous Writers in Solidarity with Palestine
Weeks ago, I wanted to write a piece about joy, friendship, and literature. Instead, I’m writing about state violence. I write to support Palestinian people. But is the pen still mightier than the sword, when the sword is an endless stream of bombs? We’re frequently hearing From the river to

Kissinger
Israel-Jordan relations in the wake of the Gaza war
Under Prime Minister Netanyahu’s leadership, Israel-Jordan relations have hit a new low. Sadly, after 30 years of peace, there is deep sullenness and disappointment between the two countries. The aspiration for strategic partnership has fallen short, except for security collaboration. Jordan’s King Abdallah and Netanyahu do not see eye-to-eye on
The class of ’53
It is results time for the school leavers of 2023. I know it’s an exciting time. In 1953 I completed the NSW Leaving Certificate. 70 years ago! It was later, in 2002, that I first had occasion to look at that Class of ’53 to see if I could find
Actually, body positivism is empowering women to live
‘Get out of the way, you fat fuck’. These are the words a young bloke yelled at me from his moving car as I walked across a carpark in suburban Canberra. He swerved his car toward me, I assume to scare me. I was scared. His words still make me
