Then there is the whole freedom of speech thing.....
Don't kid yourself, people on the left are just as willling to take away free speech as the right if they think it will help them create their utopia......
And never forget, whenever they come to take your freedom away, they always have wonderful sounding excuses for doing so.

It's nothing to do with social media or political agendas or freedom of speech. It's about popularity. Step back and use a bit of scepticism, mate.

Also, in practical terms, we have more freedom of speech in Australia than the USA. Imagine if President Trump was spoken to the way we regularly speak to our PM. There would be thousands of law suits or people in jail as a result. And MAGA would be constantly screeching too.

Read a couple of Syndey times articles. One about tax dodges in the US and one about Isreal and holy damn it was honest. I think that the US is moving slowly toward that kind of coverage but nowhere near it yet. I was wondering if there are more news sources that are as honest as the times seemed to be from that article

Same, never heard of the Sydney Times.

You probably mean The Sydney Morning Herald.

Anthony Albanese heckled visiting site of synagogue terror attack — as it happened

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was heckled while visiting the Adass Israel Synagogue in Ripponlea, which was targeted in an arson attack last week that is now being treated as an act of terror. Look back on our coverage.

Unfortunately this time I think it's inevitable that he wins.

Not so sure. He's still a bit less popular than Albo as PM, and Albo is less popular than a bull-ant bite currently. So Potato-Head is about as popular as...two bull-ant bites.

I think they already have a good idea who they are. It's been classed as a terrorist act so there will be a lot of resources put into it. It appears it was not meant to kill but it is not acceptable.

There were at least two worshippers in the synagogue, so deaths were a strong possibility.
