Australia is our home. We are not visitors. We built it. We own it. That is non negotiable.
The idea that men and women who fought for Australia – and their descendants – today need to be welcomed to their own country as though they are visitors is preposterous
What does Acknowledgment of Country have to do with learning the law?
Australians had enough. My people have been in Australia since 1788. I reject my children & I being welcomed to the land we were conceived & born on Welcome to Country & Acknowledgment of Country are divisive, elitist, exclusionary & racist.
Enough already.

Torquemada would be proud of Macquarie University. Students at its law school enrolled in a legal subject called Age and The Law have been told they will fail part of their law degree if they refuse to deliver an Acknowledgment of Country when presenting an oral assessment.
This is compelled political speech. No ifs. No buts. This is a person in authority at Macquarie Law School telling non-Indigenous students that if they don’t deliver an Acknowledgment of Country, or if they belong to the local tribe, a Welcome to Country, in the fashion prescribed by the marker, they fail. No debate welcome.
If you use the compulsory words but don’t utter them with sufficient reverence, you still fail. Big Brother, or in this case maybe Big Sister – Associate Professor Dr Holly Doel-Mackaway runs the course – is apparently going to assess your feelings.
How?
With billions in mining royalties and billions more in government aid and welfare, how are these Aboriginal children living in poverty?
Yesterday, a Muslim mother urged other Muslim parents to email teachers and ask how 9/11 will be taught, arguing that classroom discussion of the attacks is often framed as anti-Muslim and racist propaganda. She finished by saying that Muslims were the victims. pic.twitter.com/qhEyJssahw
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) were seen having a jolly time together at the September 11 memorial service at Ground Zero while victims’ names were being read.
Notable Republican figures pointed out the progressive pair’s unseemly behavior on X, with former The View host and daughter of late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) Meghan McCain writing, “Why the f*ck are these two laughing?!?”
Democracy invites despotism. When understood as majority rule, democracy means that fifty-one of every hundred citizens can have their way with the other forty-nine.
“But I want to keep my possessions, weapons, and children.” Too bad, the majority have decided to redistribute your property to those lazy bums over there, disarm you before you can do anything about it, and indoctrinate your children in public schools, so that they learn to resent you and love the State.
Democracy is dangerous without guardrails. Unless a society has a strong sense of moral virtue that fosters personal discipline, duty, and honor, base selfishness becomes the driving motivation behind all political action. Unless certain constitutional protections exist to safeguard each individual’s inviolable rights, democratic majorities devour those rights whenever expedient.
This should surprise no-one. Political philosophers such as Hobbes and Locke described humans’ pre-government “state of nature” as a chaotic, violent clash of self-interest. Adam Smith’s “invisible hand” regards self-interest as the engine of free markets. Consequently, it is easy to understand why forms of democracy that are unshackled from both moral and constitutional restraints prompt a society to descend back into a state of nature in which humanity’s worst impulses are again indulged.

Welcome to Victims Anonymous, where the first step is admitting that no politician is coming to save you. He is coming for your vote, your money, and a little more control over your life.
The modern Left has built an entire political business model around convincing people they are victims. If you are struggling, the system must be rigged. If your neighbor has more, he must have taken it from you.
If you make a bad decision, someone else must be responsible. And somehow, the answer is always another government program.
Free never really means free. Free college, free health care, free housing, and free money all come with a bill. Someone works for it, someone earns it, and someone pays for it.
Government does not produce wealth. It takes wealth from the people who do, burns part of it through bureaucracy, then hands some back while demanding gratitude. Continue reading Victimhood is Political Currency
The British government continues to flout the rule of law and slap British citizens in the face as they misuse their hard-earned money to support illegals. The latest batch of migrants, mostly Muslims from Africa and the Middle East, were openly welcomed into the UK with care packages after swarming into Portsmouth and Dover.
The world is paying attention, including Islamic supremacists who will exploit the free-for-all. Among the illegals are people who will join Muslim rape gangs, jihadists and stealth jihadists, but the British government doesn’t care. Without a change in government and massive deportations, Britain is finished.
Pro-Israel Britons online are furious over Britain’s decision to impose sanctions on products from Judea and Samaria:
“Trying to remember what sanctions Starmer and Burnham imposed on Iran when it slaughtered more than 40,000 unarmed protesters in cold blood this January. Thousands are being tortured, raped, starved, and sentenced to death. Britain did not even expel diplomats,” one user wrote angrily.
Meanwhile, Muslim sex grooming gangs continue to prey on women and girls. Both of the last two Labour prime ministers were complicit in the Muslim rape gangs that ravaged the United Kingdom and extracted a toll of as many as 250,000 girls and women.
Ed Miliband is the UK’s Foreign Secretary. He is a Marxist and a multimillionaire, the child of Jewish refugees, a hater of Israel and a defender of the cause of “Palestine.” Just now, he has denounced the Jewish state for supposedly denying medicine to Palestinians. He has, you see, heard “stories” about this cruel practice
We must not allow Albanese deciding for us what is “harmful content” after his public rant again Pauline Hanson.
“Albanese government proposes $100 million fine for social media companies directing people to harmful content”
“The Albanese government has established a bold new regime to control the internet after it failed to pass its misinformation and disinformation laws through parliament.”
.
“The Albanese government has pursued a bold new plan to impose massive fines on social media companies whose algorithms direct users towards harmful content.” “It comes as the government prepares to introduce its digital duty of care laws, expanding its regulation of the internet.”
.
“The government will propose a $100 million penalty for social media companies that allow people to come to harm by directing them towards “harmful content” through algorithmic recommendation systems.” ___

Magoo thinks he’s the Guru when it comes to social media control after Britain followed his under 16 ban. It is a little unsettling.
Amid anxiety in industry ranks that federal Labor could crackdown on Fuel Tax Credits used by miners, farmers and builders, a CCA insights paper has revealed Mr Bowen’s Department of Climate Change and Energy is leading a government-wide push to hit back against those undermining Labor’s climate and energy policy.
The department, when contacted for comment about the working group, cited “strong and persistent public concern about the spread of climate and energy misinformation” presented to a Greens-proposed and Greens-led Senate inquiry earlier this year.
The CCA said the new working group could: establish a “more collaborative approach to addressing climate misinformation” by developing a shared message framework across agencies; translate technical policy into practical explanations; use audience insight and misinformation monitoring to identify risks; and establish a “whole-of-government rapid-response approach to climate and energy misinformation”.
The insights paper – “Misinformation: A climate policy risk” – said climate misinformation was “part of a broader challenge around information integrity that affects many policy areas … effective responses require co-ordination across government, with different agencies contributing expertise, insights and actions within their respective mandates”.
The CCA paper, which warned that climate misinformation was “already affecting how climate policy is delivered in Australia”, identified “common narratives” fuelling “uncertainty about climate policies, technologies and solutions”. These included misinformation narratives linked to “cost-of-living, energy prices and reliability, jobs, regional impacts, biodiversity and environmental impacts, whether Australia’s action matters”.
The Department of Climate Change and Energy said it was “committed to continually improving the way it communicates and providing clear factual information that is accessible to all Australians.
“The department’s communication efforts are dedicated to helping Australians to understand the facts about our energy system and the impact of climate change – so people can understand and engage with the energy transition to improve social licence and ensure community concerns are heard and considered,” a spokesman said.
As the Albanese government seeks to reclaim control over its renewables and climate change agenda, the CCA this week held a briefing call with industry representatives and groups who have advocated that fuel tax credits be abolished or wound back.

Already the Climate Porn industry is using the ghastly death and destruction in Nepal to sell Net Zero and Socialism, even though landslides have always happened, and there was a far worse one in 1190AD.
