The only real answer is to ban ALL political donations.

Ban lobbying while you're at it.

Here you go then. Anne Twomey has a view that the legislation cooked up between the #Labor and #Liberal parties is probably unconstitutional.

Good thing.

I'm thinking of standing for election on behalf of the Pirate Party, or at least supporting the Hornsby Fusion candidate. If this is something of interest to you, please do get on board. I think Pirates / Fusion have lots to offer in our current political environment - I might go into that in detail sometime, for for the moment, here's an invite: https://www.fusionparty.org.au/volunteer #auspol

It's high time Australia:
- recognised the state of Palestine;
- ceased all support for Israel;
- recalled our ambassador and expelled theirs;
- cancelled all Israeli visas;
- froze Israeli assets in Australia;
- stopped materiel, personnel and information flowing from Australia to Israel;
- declared Israel a terrorist state (so Australian citizens who have gone to fight for Israel are subject to prosecution).

Judging by your timeline @rivertothesea I doubt that you have any interest in being fair.

For centuries, all creeds shared Palestine. In the 19th century, Zionists invaded and the war began. Resistance continues.

While the Zionist state exists, there is no hope for lasting peace. When 🇮🇱 is dismantled and Palestine reborn, then there will be hope.
https://odsi.co/en/

By conflating Zionism and Israel with Judaism, Zionists endanger Jews worldwide. The world in general, and Jews in particular, will be safer when the Zionist state no longer exists.

An excellent worker-lead initiative providing a one-stop-shop reference for companies profiting out of #genocide and #apartheid

"Israel's genocidal campaign is enabled by the financial, military, diplomatic, and cultural support it gets from companies around the world. As workers, we can force our employers' to halt their complicity in this genocide. The time to act for Palestine is now."

Want to know if a particular company has links to crimes against humanity? Here is the resource. Also, if you see any missing companies you can submit them for independent verification prior to inclusion. Also links to current campaigns you may not be aware of.

"Israel has made it abundantly clear that it does not want a ceasefire, not even at the cost of its own citizens’ lives. Nor will it countenance a Palestinian State."
...
"Australians sickened by Israel’s shocking violence and outraged by its impunity are reeling. We want to know why you have not implemented the most peaceful and effective way of bringing this hellish catastrophe to an end: a complete boycott, sanctions and divestment policy on Israel? Surely that would be the least Australia could, and should, do."

Walkley Awards are a lot like the Press Gallery in Federal Parliament. Run by and for disciples of old media and gate kept ferociously to fend off the existential threat of new media.

Not to say the winners aren't usually worthy, in the same way a gold medal in the Commonwealth games is notable. But it's not Olympic.

We need immigration to support our economy, maybe not at current levels. Over 80% of international students return home, helping their countries and spreading our values.

Not in favour of high economic immigration to Australia, particularly from wealthy countries. We have limited resources and an ancient environment we're already straining.

Am in favour of much higher refugee and asylum seeker intake, for the good it spreads and the character of the new citizens it brings who've collectively proven they'll seize the opportunity and flourish.

In response to concerns raised by customers of Ticketmaster and Live Nation, Melbourne-based class action law firm Gordon Legal last month announced it was undertaking an investigation into allegations of “deceptive, misleading or unconscionable conduct” which “may have inflated” the price of tickets for performances and events in Australia.
https://www.channelnews.com.au/a-class-action-is-being-prepared-in-oz-against-ticketmaster-and-live-nation/
“We have been contacted by customers who are concerned that they have paid more than they should have for event tickets. We are investigating their concerns, including how ‘dynamic pricing’ is influencing the cost of tickets in Australia,” said James Naughton, Class Actions Partner at Gordon Legal.
“The focus of our investigation relates to whether any laws designed to protect consumers have been breached.”

Albanese Govt just demonstrated it will undermine democratic principles and any threats to its power - while paying itself generously from the treasury to do it - and will gang up with Dutton and the Coalition to ensure it happens.

As Australia privatises nature repair, the cheapest approach won’t save our threatened species

Australia’s carbon credit scheme largely fails to protect threatened species, despite assumptions to the contrary. The findings provide cautionary lessons for the nature repair scheme.

Glad the inexorable Me Too movement is slowly attempting to bring justice for the victims of celebrity perpetrators, but have anecdotal knowledge of survivors of 'everyday' criminals and crimes that go unbelieved or acted on.

I believe the high profile cases mask continuing and ongoing injustice and there remains systemic issues in the legal and law enforcement systems.

Worse, there's a counter-movement, mainly espoused by men, but also some women, who use language like, 'It was just boys being boys' and other misogynist tropes that seek to normalise and excuse the crimes.
