Labor Mourns Jewish Victims. But Does It Fight For Living Jews?

The easiest Jew to support is a dead one. A dead Jew costs nothing. A dead Jew asks for nothing. A dead Jew can be remembered, honoured and mourned without demanding uncomfortable decisions in the present. That is why every year politicians stand...

Why Won’t Albanese Name the Ideology Driving Antisemitism?

Inches to Metric: The Art of Debate

The Public Pays, while Labor get paid!

Truth isn’t divisive. Cowardice is

It is often said that truth is the first casualty of war. But in modern Australia, we might now say it is accountability that dies first, especially when the war comes not from without but from within. On December 14th,...
