0·9 days agoI think calling out a Jewish organisation under the assumption all are Zionists is wrong.
That is not what happened.
Are they protesting the labor marchers? No, they are not.
They’re not protesting any marchers. They criticised this group on their social media, where they also criticise the Labor party.
specifically calling out other parade attendees is not right.
Calling out racism is always correct.
Mardi gras is a time for our community to come together, not divide.
Oh, the old “social cohesion”. Which somehow always means anti-genocide activists just shutting up.
So instead of having a hissy fit
I don’t see how PiP had a “hissy fit”. The Mardi Gras CEO sprung this on them the day before the march, and in fact expelled PiP less than 12 after the email was sent. PiP didn’t take any action at all before they were expelled. The CEO is the one that chucked a fit.
Do you think they would let any Zionist organisation march if they had posts calling for the subjugation of Palestinians? It’s the same rules.
So you think calling out racism and standing against genocide is equivalent to calling for racism and being in favour of genocide?
take action and follow the rules. … Be civil and call for change from the top, not the bottom.
If the 78ers had followed this advice, there would be no Mardi Gras. Truly, wherever you look, you will always find the “moderate who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice”.

This is a national disgrace, just leaving children to rot in a camp indefinitely. Force of habit, I guess.
This is a significant escalation from existing arrangements, at least officially:
Biometric sharing programmes already exist between Five Eyes countries (New Zealand, Australia, Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom) as part of Migration Five arrangements but typically operated on a ‘hit/no-hit’ basis where initial biometric checks provided minimal information, and further data requests were considered on a case by case basis.
But EBSPs could provide full automated access to other countries’ national databases, according to critics and minutes from European Union member state negotiations.
You have to demonstrate an understanding of road rules and signage to get a driver’s licence, which is pretty relevant.
I agree it would be better if there was a separate licensing system - one that would allow younger people to access some categories of e-bike - and I imagine we will in the long-run, but using existing systems as a stop-gap doesn’t seem unreasonable.
Wrong continent for ostriches, we only measure things in emu eggs here
