Ask why the majority of Public Servants are Freemasons including Police. Whatever happened to the Seperation of Powers Doctrine, Freemasonry is a Religion. Examine the Tax Free Status of Religious Institutes, they are bludging of the Australian taxpayer.

The biggest threat to the Middle East, to Israel and the justification for the slaughter of the Palestinians is not Hamas or some non state actor with a grudge against Israel. The biggest threat is the political Christian Evangelicals in the United States who hold power in the/2

Let's be clear. The term "religious education" is an oxymoron, a euphemism at best. It is indoctrination. No more, no less. Call it for what it is; It is the systematic institutional abuse of malleable naive young minds. #auspol
A parent discovered his child was attending a #nswpol public school prayer group without consent in breach of departmental policies. “I want them to get a mainstream secular education, not religious.” #auspol

I have a son who is in that situation. Never completed a thing and now he has been diagnosed as Aspergers so it explains a lot as to why he continually dropped out due to his social anxiety. Yet the debt is still there, growing in size.

The US doesn't support a two-state solution, the US only supports SAYING the US supports a two-state solution. We know this because the US just vetoed Palestine's bid to become a full UN member state, after lobbying other countries to vote against the resolution, despite continually saying it supports the foundation of a Palestinian state. Washington's words say one thing, but its actions say the opposite.
This is because if the US admitted its actual position, it would greatly damage its reputation on the world stage. What the US actually wants is the same thing the Israelis want: for the Palestinians to go away, or lie down and submit completely, or otherwise stop being an inconvenience until they're a forgotten footnote in the dustbin of history. But the US can't come right out and say this, so it pretends to support a two-state solution that Israel has spent years doing everything it can to ensure never happens. It's a completely fictional resolution to a very real problem, but the alternative to supporting it is to admit you support continued apartheid, oppression, ethnic cleansing and genocide.
So the US maintains this ridiculous charade where it keeps pretending to support this fake non-solution, even while taking concrete actions which make it clear that it does not. Immediately after vetoing the Palestinian bid for UN membership, Deputy US Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood declared, "The United States continues to strongly support a two-state solution. This vote does not reflect opposition to Palestinian statehood," saying the emergence of a Palestinian state can only come about through direct negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians. We can see right now how things are going on that front.
As always, the only way to understand the US-centralized global power structure is to ignore what its officials say and watch what they actually do instead. This is good advice for understanding geopolitics and government dynamics in general, and it's good advice for sorting out fact from fiction when dealing with any manipulator in your personal life. Ignore their words, and watch their actions.

Why child removal has become a too comfortable default in Aboriginal communities.
Because if you have a brain, you have bias.
The brain perceives blackness as more threatening- it’s called Other Race effect and theres science behind this.
It’s called the neuroscience of racism.
So if you close your eyes and focus on your automatic reactions.
If I say: “Stop removing Aboriginal children”
What is your automatic reaction?
If I say:
“Stop removing CHILDREN from their families”.
Is there a different reaction?
Evidence tells us theres a more extreme reaction when you put black or in this case, Aboriginal in the conversation.
It lies in the fact the brain threat reaction goes immediately to extremes of abuse such as child sexual abuse as being the norm when 79% of abuse is emotional abuse/neglect- the type of risk that warrants a lower-level; family support response.
So the resulting public debate also becomes extreme.
There is NO discussion about PREVENTION its ONLY about removal.
Because you are “leaving children to be raped” in EVERY single circumstance.
When 5% of abuse in Aboriginal communities is sexual abuse; compared to 7.5% national average & in the context of very strong mandatory reporting laws in the NT where the current debate is occurring.
It’s also why we should not be relying on anecdotal evidence as fact. Any abuse should be formally reported to authorities so accurate data can be captured to INFORM prevention & geomap needs based communities. If this doesn’t occur the danger is in whole communities becoming demonised and stereotyped leading to more trauma and poorer outcomes.
These are highly complex and emotional issues that require analysis from those, like myself who have dedicated their lives to delivering prevention programs into high risk communities & being educated on child development, trauma, complex attachment and behavioural change.

OK hands up, who still has HECS debt after years? Me!
Who thinks they were lied to by govts who stated at the time that their HECS debts wouldn't be increased? Me!
Who thinks education should be fee free & all prior debts cancelled? Me!

Is the NACC alive and working?😐
Scott #Morrison's era in general felt like being governed by an organised crime syndicate.
The whole thing should be examined forensically for illegality. It's the only real defence against more such corruption in future, we have.

Yes Would like to see NACC start on them esp #robodebt which they all knew was illegal

The phrase “Violence begets violence” comes to mind in this incident. He’s clearly advocated for violence towards others. Violence is never the answer.
