If a Jewish woman has a child with a non Jewish man, the child isn’t half Jewish, it’s still 100% Jewish. So how can Judaism be an ethnicity?

'The Australian' tried a gotcha on new Greens leader David Shoebridge and it didn't go as planned 😎

Dear Senator Henderson @SenSHenderson we still await your response to antisemitism claims

Listening to Trump's own words, it all makes sense: without fail, every MAGA-Republican convention ends with Grindr crashing.

She asks stupid questions and when challenged gets defensive. This is why she rarely attends estimates. After 30yrs in and out of various parliaments, you’d think she’d have some knowledge. Apparently not.

David Shoebridge calls out Jillian Segal after she admits she failed due diligence with CAM—hosts of the antisemitism summit she’s speaking at—as Shoebridge reveals CAM awarded a racist US Republican who called for Gaza to "overflow with blood”
Who is she partnering with? 🚩

The price of electricity in Victoria’s state grid was lower than every other major economy for the first nine months of 2026, according to Rystad Energy.
This will be devastating news for those who insist the exact opposite is happening.

Mark Kenny on #Insiders correctly points out it's not just Social Media that's to blame for Hate Speech, it's also the 'traditional' media.
Murdoch (not named 🙁) has a long tradition of angertainment.

Thank you to Lighter Footprints for putting on last night’s candidates forum.
It was disappointing that Jess Wilson didn’t turn up. She is the local member for Kew and the Leader of the Opposition, and the people in that room were her constituents. Showing up to answer questions from the community is a basic part of the job, especially five weeks out from an election.
One thing stuck with me from the conversations afterwards. Quite a few people told me they weren’t sure what the Upper House is, and several thought I was running for the Senate. Fair enough, nobody teaches this stuff. So here’s the short version: the Senate is federal. Victoria has its own Upper House, the Legislative Council, and it reviews every law the state government wants to pass. On 28 November you get two ballot papers: a small one for your local MP in the Lower House, and a large one for the Legislative Council. I’m on the large one, for Southern Metropolitan Region.
Independents in the Upper House aren’t there to block things for the sake of it. We’re there to read the fine print, ask the questions and make sure whoever forms government is held to account. That’s what I’ll be doing if you send me there.
ALT Three people standing on a footpath under trees in late afternoon light. On the left, Melissa Lowe in a black Choose Love t-shirt and white trousers. Beside her, a woman and a young man in white Melissa Lowe campaign t-shirts hold flyers. A corflute sign in front reads Vote 1 Melissa Lowe, Upper House, your independent voice, your check on government, melissalowe.au.

Who else would bother to disclose a dozen eggs…
…gifted (from his new chooks) by a grateful constituent…
…nine months after he lost everything to the black summer bushfires.
An untold story sitting silently in her parliamentary register.

I love that for you 🥰
It seems every time I speak to someone in Indi, they tell me a story of how @helenhainesindi helped them.
My favourite disclosures register entry was Helen Haines declaring a dozen eggs from a family of Black Summer Bushfire survivors she had helped.

But "both her heart & mind are in good shape"
thanks her staff, locals who responded, paramedics, hospital staff
"Helen's road to recovery will be long & difficult, but we know she is a fighter"

Anyone who thinks politicians or political parties don’t keep dirt files on anyone is a fool. FFS I had one written on me that was shopped around. The story in the daily mail yesterday was used by design to cause damage and it was a low act in so far as timing. Do better PVO.
