  • Two protesters arrested on first day of Queensland’s ‘from the river to the sea’ ban

  • I forgot to mention that if you are interested in a Jewish point of view which differs from the mainstream one we are being made to believe applies to all Jews, have a look at Antony Lowenstein on YouTube. He is an Australian Jewish journalist who grapples with the issues that affect his community and all of us in the current world situation.

  • The swastika goes further back than Buddhism. The difference in using the swastika symbol as used in recent history to displaying a watermelon picture for example, is that the former was used to entrance people to take part in beliefs and actions that actively sought to destroy other people for the sake of racial and national self-aggrandisement. In my view the Palestinian symbols and phrases indicate taking back what was yours in the first place and being free to enjoy it. The swastika is about colonising by force of which you could say the same about the Israeli flag yet no one seems to care about that.

    I do understand your argument but cannot be convinced. And btw, some Jews are offended by the pro-Palestinian freedom slogans and symbols but some Jews agree with them. Let's not put all Jewish people in the same basket. The Jewish community is very diverse. Zionists loudly object because it goes against their political and colonialist agenda but many Jews don't.

  • ACCC to provide weekly fuel market updates as it monitors price gouging

    Jump

  • You may be right but the article does mention consumer law:

    The ACCC also said it welcomed changes from the government to the maximum penalties for consumer law breaches by fuel companies from $50 million to $100 million and said it would seek the maximum penalties in any cases it pursued.

    The ACC webpage says it can take action "where businesses mislead consumers about pricing. This includes on the reasons for a price increase."

  • I think most people use the phrase to mean that Palestinians should be free in their land and not be under continuous attack. The interpretation you speak of is laboured. I believe jailing people for saying the 'forbidden phrase' is the real shit. As you'll see from another post in this community, people are starting to get punished and even losing jobs for wearing a keffiyeh. So, will they start jailing us too for using non-verbal language deemed offensive?

  • I hope you don't think GetUp is Ugh. I don't think they are profiteering but of course they want more people to get on board with them and make a donation as most NGOs do.

  • Perhaps if there wasn't so much whipped-up stir about this phrase, including criminalisation for saying it, it would not provoke people to want to say it more. Imo if you coerce people you are going to get more push-back, whether openly or not.

  • That's strange. I did put the address in the URL space and then saved the image separately because it did not come up automatically as this set up does with articles from such as The Guardian and The Conversation. If I make this mistake again please let me know.

  • I appreciate also where you’re coming from but at this point in time isn't it more useful for us all to take some responsibility rather than wait for the Revolution? You reckon those bastards are going to allow the nationalisation of assets and allow themselves to be toppled next year?

    I am also aware that many people are going to be struggling financially even more than now when the effects of war really hit us and it may ( ?)be an opportunity to step out of capitalist consumerism and to look after nature and each other. It seems to me you think posts like the above are girly, inconsequential puff pieces. People have to look after kids, feed them, home families, or themselves in hostile housing markets and pay for any number of groceries which are often overpriced and overpoisoned. Exchanging information and bringing sociability is important for community-building.

    I am as political as the next leftie but if we take humanity and care out of our interchange then we are just a bunch of head-driven wankers who just put up a list of grievances to say how outraged we are by the system (which I am too) . Let's be a bit humble and not look down upon each other.
