- Comment on Machetes to be banned from sale in Victoria the wake of Northland Shopping Centre brawl 1 hour ago:
People who need them will be able to apply for a permit, so not a complete ban:
Under the new laws, Victorians who legitimately require them such as farmers or hunters will be required to apply for exemptions.
- Comment on Machetes to be banned from sale in Victoria the wake of Northland Shopping Centre brawl 4 hours ago:
To be clear, this was already in the works, it’s not just a knee-jerk response, but they’re bringing in an immediate ban instead of waiting for the originally-legislated date in September.

- Comment on Dumped cabinet minister says Richard Marles a 'factional assassin', and demotion partly due to outspoken views on Gaza 2 weeks ago:
Able to speak more freely now that he is on the backbench, Mr Husic was blunt in his assessment of the Netanyahu government.
“We’ve seen just in the past week or so, the Israeli parliament say it wants to annex Gaza and effectively that is a form of ethnic cleansing. We’ve seen the starvation of its people through the failure to provide humanitarian assistance,” he said.
“It should be held to account. Starvation is a war crime.”
I’d have more respect for Husic if he had gone harder on this when he had more to lose. I’ll take whatever we can get, though.
- Comment on Israel is keeping up its blockade of aid as kids starve to death 2 weeks ago:
some arcane feud
I think people have been led, deliberately, to believe it’s a lot more arcane and/or complicated than it really is. Israel is just a bog-standard settler-colonial project.

- Comment on MP berates informal voters after dud ballot spike in NSW seat 2 weeks ago:
Agreed. If there’s any confusion among voters, I reckon it’s largely due to NSW’s inconsistent optional-preferential ballots.

- Comment on Labor and Coalition accused of being on fossil fuel ‘unity ticket’ as thermal coal exports hit record high 3 weeks ago:
Lets assume 51% vote 1 for Liberal … then the Liberal wins regardless …
Yes? That is always the case.
I’m just wondering what voting Green has to do with “endorsing the Liberal Party to Drill Drill Drill, baby”, given unlike the Liberals and Labor the Greens are against all new coal and gas.
- Comment on Labor and Coalition accused of being on fossil fuel ‘unity ticket’ as thermal coal exports hit record high 3 weeks ago:
If you vote green in one of those districts then you’re endorsing the Liberal Party of Australia to Drill Drill Drill, baby.
That’s not how preferential voting works.

- Comment on Welcome to Country booed by neo-Nazis at Melbourne Dawn Service 4 weeks ago:
Nah, these were neo-Nazis, they’re not taking their cues from Palmer, they’re taking them from… another guy.
From the ABC article (www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-25/…/105215124):
Police were later seen escorting prominent neo-Nazi Jacob Hersant away from the service.
In November, Hersant was the first Victorian found guilty of performing an illegal Nazi salute in public and was sentenced to one month behind bars.
The ABC understands a group of far-right extremists were present at the Shrine.
This quote cited on his Wikipedia page (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Hersant):
After his conviction in 2024 for performing a Nazi salute in public, he stated to journalists “I’m ready to go to jail, because I’m a Hitler soldier and what I’m doing is right”.[8]
