The actions of these police justifies calling them Nazis and follows on from the police treatment of Australian citizens during the covid farce.

The road block we encountered when travelling to our farm during the Covid lockdown, the necessity for “travel documents” reminiscent of East Germany, and the aggressive manner of the police was a shock from which I doubt I will ever recover.

Now, getting back to the Islamic issue, His Leadership wants to ban expression and jail those participants.

How many people would those loons have persuaded to their cause yesterday? I’d suggest the opposite was the case. Average Australians, reading and watching the news about the demonic actions against Israelis, would have been repulsed by them. Free speech and free expression are great. In this case, it showed just how repulsive those lunatics are, and they dissuaded people against their cause.

Only pussies are afraid of free expression.

All very well in theory, but how much of their abhorrent behaviour actually appeared on the MSM/ If the MSM reported these events even-handedly, your argument would have strength, but they do NOT. See the comment by Muddy immediately above yours.

I condemn the Hamas attack on Israeli citizens and grieve for all innocent lives lost.

Yes, yes.

But what do Zoe’s children think?

Good get, Barry.
MPs don’t need charitability, they need their feet held to the fire.

Yes, yes.

But what do Zoe’s children think?

A good reminder, Calli. Yes, how do her brainwashed children “think”!

Luxury beliefs maybe.

Nice concept.
When you hold passionate views about something that doesn’t actually affect you.

A Hamas official claims the attack on Israel was planned by only a “handful of commanders”, as Israel mobilised 300,000 troops for a massive ground invasion.

Message from Tehran: Actually, we don’t want to open the door one night, only to be shot in the face.

This is a keeper.

It describes so many people that I know, friends, acquaintances and, sadly, family.

Shackleton is a particular hero of mine

quite an amazing bloke.

One of the greatest achievements of that whole campaign was keeping the team together and not losing one man.

A year and a half from being stuck in pack ice through to the rescue of the Elephant Island team.

Other members like Captain Worsley demand their own shrines – his account of the boat voyage is a humbly understated saga.

The same failed Aboriginal bureaucrats will run the Voice

The reason a lot of people, Aboriginal & non, are voting No.

Yes. I have a chilled bottle of Champagne to be opened around 6 pm on he 14th. I hope the result is an overwhelming NO. For Jacinta and Warren, in particular.

here in Wentworth, I have a strong feeling that Allegra da Big Spender will be a one big hit wonder.

I often wonder if she was the daughter of Carla Zampatti ‘who attended the very boring’ dinner with George Pell
.

Where are the vigils to counter these pro-pali rallies?

What a thrill to see it all coming apart for the arrogant, corrupt Liars:
The digusting Voice scam being under water; and interestingly, very few of his senior goons attempting to rescue it, infact, standing well clear;
Albanese’s unbelieveable stupidity in going snivelling to Lakemba for votes, an action that lost more votes across the country than he gained from his pet thugs.
The admittedly coincidental but devestating impact of Labor and the Greens being unable to fall in line with the whole Nation and unconditionally condemn Hamas.
The hilarious spectacle of his Mussie pets not only terminally offending the nation, but breaking laws with no consequences.
The thrill of watching affirmative action moronic ‘ministers’ falling at the first hurdle. Not just one, a basket full of them.
The joy of seeing the political police squirming as a result of their own racist and political bias and there being no Andrews type character to cover for them.
Watching Albanese demonstrate conclusively that he cannot function without a prepared speech. Absolutely incapable of coherently justifying his f’ups.
And the cherry on the cake, Spender being forced out of her cave to condem, not Hamas about whom the has said nothing, not the Lakemba Mussies, but the Government. The Jewish people in her electorate will remember that it took 72 hours for her to say anything about antisemitism, and she has still not condemned Hamas.
Nexr up, net zero and IR.

Morally bereft Dem Socialists like AOC won’t even condemn Hamas unequivocally

By Post Editorial Board

New York’s socialist politicians are showing their true colors — and they’re not pretty.

Of 17 socialist pols The Post called for reaction to the Democratic Socialists’ celebration Sunday of Hamas’ massacre of Israelis, not one offered a simple, unequivocal condemnation.

Nor was labor union SEIU 1199, which has funded DSA-backed candidates, brave enough to respond.

Three pols did comment but offered shockingly muddled statements.Could be Labor Politicians in Australia

Brisport broadly condemned any “glorification of death” but made sure to blast supposed “atrocities against Palestinians.”

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani condemned the rally’s “rhetoric” but also noted his “support for Palestinian liberation.”

(Uh, Gazans do need liberating — from Hamas, not Israel.)

AOC didn’t respond or comment on the rally but blasted Hamas’ attack Saturday, while also railing about (Israel’s) “oppression and occupation” — and seeking a ceasefire that would let terrorists suffer no consequences and keep the hostages they took.

City Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán, meanwhile, tweeted her “heart is with” all Israelis and Palestinians killed but “nothing can free everyday Israelis from danger and fear unless it also frees everyday Palestinians from oppression and occupation.”

Hmm. That a threat?

(Oh, and memo to AOC, Lander, Cabán & Co.: Israel does not “occupy” Gaza; the only Israelis there are those Hamas brutally kidnapped.)

‘No alternative’: Anthony Albanese’s stern warning on Voice referendum

“I do hope that Australians accept this invitation from the First Australians on Saturday and in the lead-up because a no vote is a saying that what we have now is just good enough and we can just keep doing the same,” he said.

Actually, exactly nobody appears to be saying “we can just keep doing the same”. More like “you’ve behaved like the shitty retail politician you are from the get go and we don’t trust you or your scummy mates with the Constitution”.

Asked directly if the Yes had sacrificed “heart” over the detail, Mr Albanese defiantly told Sky News: “The detail’s there.”

“The detail’s there in the wording being put forward here,” he said.

The government has repeatedly stressed details around how the Voice will operate would be worked through by politicians on both sides should the referendum succeed.

So, the toxic gnome who hasn’t read the Uluru Statement in full (“why would I”) but has promised to implement it in full, is going to sit down with the Greens and sort out a bureaucratic structure and process that is going to advise the Federal Parliament on matters that lie in State and Local government jurisdiction – Health, Education, Justice, and Housing – and something modest but mighty is going to come out of it?

Trust us, we’re Top Men.

Noel Pearson: “Frankly, the voice is a proposal so pathetically understated that I’m amazed most Indigenous people are settling for it… I helped design it as something so modest that no reasonable non-Indigenous Australian could reject it. More fool me.”
Yep fatso, you’ve burnt the money, now you’re burning the goodwill. I hope a rejection of Their Voice hits Pearson, Langdon, Grant, Burney, Martin et al as a rejection of the last fifty years of separatism, sit-down welfare, big-man d*ck swinging and buck-passing.

Brutality of Hamas attack on Israel ‘unprecedented’

Has no-one heard of the Hebron massacre? There are plenty of precedents.

The four nations including Ireland who blocked EU suspending funds to Palestine

I am absolutely unsurprised that Ireland is one of them.

Hayden and Clapper are genuinely scum. The temerity required to make such pronouncements or otherwise bear false witness as they have is the birthing of the deep state, if it never existed before.

The path forward is to nuke iran and flatten every palli stronghold.

I agree, 100%

No prisoners. This is War.

Lee:

That will do wonders for the Yes vote (not!), linking the “struggle” of “Indigenous Australians” with a murderous terrorist attack.

There are enough, more than enough, brain dead petrol sniffing lunatics out there to become handy suicide bombers for the Muslim fanatics.
Remember this poor little bugger?

Citizenship can be removed. What is the process to make a person Stateless?

If you have to ask that question then you don’t really know if *their* citizenship can be removed.

I’m no lawyer, buuuut last time I heard, it was illegal to make a person stateless. Every person is supposed to be a citizen of some country somewhere. This arises in refugee cases typically. So you have to determine that they have citizenship of another country concurrently and which one it is, so you can return them to that country when that becomes their only one.

I suppose the other real answer to your question is that the process by which people become stateless the most often is that they die. Aside from that, there’s no other legal way.

Robert S

I mentioned a couple of days ago for Cats to make sure they had full tanks in their cars and perhaps a couple of Jerry Cans as a reserve.
Israel may just get pissed off enough with the EU to take out Kharg Island – Irans major oil and transfer point.

It would be a disaster for the world, but much more rational than nuking any cities.

There would be a bad period of oil shortage, particularly in the northern hemisphere winter, but the US and ME countries (other than Iran, of course) could increase production to cover the gap. A bad period like 1973 would happen, but the world would survive. It would not survive a nuclear war.

Watching footage of the police standing by whilst Nazis screamed ‘gas the Jews’ on the steps of the Sydney Opera House.

NSW Labor show their true colours.

NSW Police Minister refuses to apologise to Jewish community after unapproved pro-Palestine rally involved anti-Semitism (Sky News, 10 Oct)

Police Minister Yasmin Catley has failed to apologise to the Jewish community after a pro-Palestine rally took place on Monday night which prevented them from paying their respects to Israel at the Sydney Opera House.

‘No application for the protest to go ahead’: Rally in support for Palestinian people went ahead illegally (Sky News, 10 Oct)

A new revelation over the pro-Palestinian rally at the Sydney Opera House has heaped more pressure on NSW Police, after the protest reportedly went ahead illegally.

So they allowed it to go ahead illegally, and refuse to apologise. Well I think we know everything we need about the Labor Party now.

Minns had better have some answers to this.

No amount of cute and cuddly (and femaleness whatever that is today) can excuse his reprehensible Police Minister.

So I’m not sure why you are asking me “why would you care”.

It’s really simple Arky. This referendum is done by raw numbers, not representational. In other words, every vote counts.

If you spoil your ballot, your vote is null and void.

If that is what you plan to do (personally, I don’t think you are trying to influence others) then the outcome must be meaningless.

TikTok has stopped all Hamas videos.
It’s gone from being everywhere to nothing.
And ones from yesterday that I saved have been deleted.

It’s like Boutique Power – when you have solar panels, a big Tesla battery, and drive around in an EV that is subsidised by extra taxes and charges on poor people.

Cats might like to contribute to this survey.

I’m opposed to the compulsion to turn up and draw an arse on the ballot.
Whatever part of the whole palaver is compulsory, I oppose.

Arky… I hold, as I think you know, pretty much the same view.

In an election, not voting – or in my case drawing ever-less-talented portraits of key political players on the ballot – makes sense. It deprives all of them of any affirmation under compulsion.

Not at all sure that holds in a national, binary decision. So I not only got me name ticked off, I actually voted this time. I think that fact that it isn’t susceptible to the whole “preference” thing stayed my artistic “talents”.

I do wonder why there are people handing out “How To Vote” cards, though. What proportion of voting age Aussies do not know how to write “Yes” or “No”?

Clint Eastwood brown bread.

That’s how they draw you back in Mark!

Fair call, Arks.

So they allowed it to go ahead illegally, and refuse to apologise. Well I think we know everything we need about the Labor Party now.

Most of us already did.

The law requires you make a valid vote. By rights they could fine everyone that doesn’t have a reasonable reason for not making one.

The late star also directed Eastwood in motion pictures ‘Pink Cadillac’, ‘Any Which Way You Can’ and ‘The Dead Pool’.

Pink Cadillac & The Dead Pool, very cool.

More than once since Hamas terrorists invaded Israel last weekend and slaughtered hundreds of innocent men, women and children in their homes, at a music festival and on the streets, I have felt grateful to call Australia home.

It’s deeply distressing for anyone following these events to see vision of mothers and their babies being kidnapped by barbarians and held hostage. But for Jewish Australians this horrifying depravity has felt incredibly personal – even though seemingly a world away from our sparkling way of life here in Australia.

A world away, that is, until Monday evening, when the NSW government allowed the barbarians who had murdered entire families in Israel to be celebrated on the steps of the Sydney Opera House. Absurdly, NSW police urged Jews to stay in their homes, not to come into the CBD, to keep away from the Opera House and the Town Hall, saying it wasn’t safe to walk the city’s streets. That’s the inexplicable path the NSW government took as pro-Palestinian protesters, chanting “Death to Jews” and “Gas the Jews” and burning the Israeli flag, celebrated the slaughter of innocent Israeli civ­ilians.

Fuelled by anti-Semitism, the protest was vile in its hatred and shocking for all Australians – regardless of faith or ethnicity – to watch. It was clearly hate speech: unlawful behaviour that drives a terrifying wedge between Australians when we’re supposedly embracing inclusivity.

For a Jewish Australian walking down the street, there’s now a discernible feeling of fear and worry. Should we take our children to school, having just seen these people – our fellow citizens – chant “Kill the Jews” and “Gas the Jews” on the streets we love? These are the questions I am now seriously asking myself in the city in which I was born and raised, and where I have always felt safe.

In allowing this hateful, divisive, anti-Semitic protest to go ahead, the NSW Labor government, the police and the Greens are fostering an atmosphere of fear and distrust in our beautiful, peaceful country.

The images beamed around the world on Monday evening were supposed to be of a national landmark – the Opera House – lit up in blue and white lights in solidarity with Israelis and those of the Jewish faith across the world. It was a heartwarming gesture. Instead, what we witnessed was a shambles as the Minns government allowed an ugly protest to be conducted on the steps of that landmark.

The NSW government allowed Australians (as many of these protesters were) to use a national symbol to project images of hate, without any action or intervention from police. Make no mistake, those images of Sydney, beamed around the world, will provide a moral ballast to the terrorists who are murdering young families.

Instead of taking action to rein in the protest, the NSW government acted in a cowardly way; it was despicable and corrosive. It essentially surrendered the Opera House to those who openly celebrate terrorism. This is what appeasement looks like. Failing to shut down or curtail a protest that even police felt wasn’t safe for Jews is the sign of a feeble government.

Moreover, the police should’ve moved decisively against those people openly threatening Jews. The Opera House now is tainted by the vilest sentiments imaginable.

The only known arrest on Monday evening was of a Jewish man, waving an Israeli flag, who was handcuffed for his own safety. All the while, safe passage was provided for those chanting murderous slogans and celebrating terror.

Let’s be absolutely clear: Labor allowed hate crimes to be perpetrated without intervention of any kind. It’s only in the aftermath that Assistant Police Commissioner Tony Cooke claims he’s examining CCTV to try to track down the perpetrators. This is all too late. All around the world, Jews are in hiding while pro-Palestinian protesters take to the streets. In New York, Toronto, even outside the White House, chants of “Allahu Akbar” celebrate the deaths of hundreds and the kidnapping of at least 160 innocent Israelis. It seemed unthinkable that such cruelty could be inflicted on women and children; even more unthinkable that our fellow citizens could rejoice in this suffering.

But here’s where it gets even more concerning. The celebration of these terrorist attacks in Sydney’s southwest and in the city this week have shone a spotlight on the voters the Albanese government and the Labor Party have been pandering to and courting in recent years. It has been well-reported that Labor has long been a supporter of Israel – until the demographics in western Sydney changed with increasing migration. To appeal to their voters, Labor MPs walked away from supporting the democracy of Israel and started pushing for boycotts and recognition of a Palestinian state, even wanting to ban sponsored trips to Israel.

Terrorist group Hamas applauded Foreign Minister Penny Wong’s policies in a press release when she hardened Labor’s position against Israel this year. Labor’s national foreign policy has been catering to the minority of Australians who do not share our common values of mateship, tolerance and acceptance. Instead, they wish death to the Jews.

They do not believe the Jewish community should exist. Never has this been more clear than in the wake of the worst atrocities perpetrated against the Jewish people in decades. This should serve as a wake-up call for federal Labor to examine exactly who it is that the party has been bending over backwards to appease.

For me, as a Jewish Australian, the barbaric nature of the Iran-funded terrorists has been deeply upsetting, as it has been for most Australians of different faiths and backgrounds. It’s impossible to watch young girls being paraded and beaten by thugs without being emotionally affected. But what has been upsetting too is the realisation that Labor has been too weak to stand up to anti-Semitic sections of the Australian population who support this barefaced inhumanity.

In not shutting down the protest, in allowing protesters to use the platform of the Opera House, in changing foreign policy to appease this group of people, it’s clear that Labor has lost its moral compass. It has done so not for peace. How can you have peace when Hamas’s reason for existence is to annihilate Jews? But for politics and the promise of a few votes.

Residents First councillor Harriet Price

In Vaucluse local govt elections this woman had placards shouting her ‘independent’ status far and wide, as simply a voice of the locals. I would never vote for ‘resident’ voices as the term these days tends to mean Green in disguise.

Not wrong either with regard to Ms Prince’s voting against Israel. She’s a Deep Green Left stooge.

There’d be a few upset local Jewish voters though who gave her their vote and took her at her word.

Chris:
Has no one heard of the Hebron Massacre?
They’ve forgotten. How convenient.

Crispin Berka:

If you have to ask that question then you don’t really know if *their* citizenship can be removed.

There are stateless people around.
The Rohingyas for example – nearly a million of them are stateless. So yes – I know people can be made stateless.
My question, you ignoramus, is what is the process?
…and you’ve had your Commission removed for being a smartarse.

The Greens’ support for the vilest of Islamic terrorist actions speaks for itself as to how deluded some in politics are about the ‘Palestinian’ issue. Penny Wong is currently reported as noting the the ‘new’ policy of the Albanese government on Palestine is likely now to encounter some problems – the policy should be dumped and Israel prioritised. Returning to funding the most outrageous Hamas propaganda in Gaza schools after such funding was removed by the Libs is a stain on Wong’s record; she has funded this terrorism.

Sorry. Mea culpa re Clint.

Sal, the more recent mutation of feminism has been a Trojan one, falsely claiming ancestry from earlier eras. This strain is concerned SOLELY with deriving unearned benefits for the elite, first world, mostly Caucasian, cliques of power seekers. Using the analogy of street gang culture: Insiders (gang members) vs. Outsiders. Hypocrisy is both irrelevant and unproductive, as the gang’s rules transcend society’s rules.

The female victims of the catastrophy in Israel are outsiders, according to today’s feminists. Unless they can be exploited, they have no value.

Insiders. Outsiders. Gang rules are primary. Outside of the gang, you are fair game.
