I see some conservative American commentators are suggesting we should have their gun law freedoms. “It may have prevented the stabbing deaths”.

More than 40,000 Americans were killed by guns in 2023.

Over 95% of mass shootings were committed by men.

Yep. No thanks.

Lot’s of speculation about the incident in Sydney. Best we wait for the full police report.

One fact is clear. It was a man. As it is every 15 days in this country.

Indeed. Agreed. They will not be voting LNP but they are going to do something else. See Fowler as an example and this extract from today’s Laura Tingle OpEd in the Fin.

Based on our comprehensive interviews conducted across Sydney and Melbourne, it's evident that young Australians of Islamic faith will be a significant problem for Labor in the upcoming federal election. (Mapped out by postcode, by proportion of all under 40s, for NSW and VIC).…

The backlash against Labor from the Muslim community has been evident for some time. 2022 federal election - In the Melbourne suburb of Meadow Heights, where 48% of residents practice the Islamic faith, there was a swing against Labor of close to 20% in one booth, and an average…

Attempting to out-Greek a Greek, attempt #1208 by Barry. The democracy often romanticised here only granted voting rights to free adult men, representing just 10% of the population. Women, slaves, and individuals of different races were systematically excluded from participation…

Churches enjoy tax-exempt status, seemingly granted due to belief in an imaginary supernatural entity.

However, when Indigenous landowners, with a 40,000-year history in owning their land, are potentially offered similar tax exemptions, it's an outrage.

Cool story bro.

Our poll on Nuclear. Potential NIMBY politics on steroids. Around half of respondents support it but that support drops when you force them to accept it in their backyard.

Voters lose their minds about powerlines, imagine what this will look like?

And voters support a bit of all 3. However, they do hate the endless political circus being played out by all 3 parties.

There's been a lot of questionable stuff written/said about Australia's large migrant intake. Here's my take on how migrants have helped the economy - and where they're living ... theage.com.au/politics/feder…

In recent interviews with a group of Muslim women, they shared a common tactic used to secure job interviews: altering their first names on their applications.

They would be even more successful if they did the same with their suburb and postcode. It’s not just a Britain…

Will enabling individuals to use their superannuation facilitate renters' securing housing? In Syndey, no one can, irrespective of income level. Melbourne will be the same.

In Perth, where it's more affordable. Only the wealthiest income earners, who currently rent, can do so.…

In a state like Tasmania, it's imperative for Labor to acknowledge that their opportunities to govern in their own right, 'will be limited in the foreseeable future'.

To put it bluntly, individuals who rely solely on a major political party for their career, rather than on their…

In reality, millions of people don't have the financial means to attend an opera. However, they still find enjoyment in strolling through and shopping in the vibrant streets of Melbourne, Australia's largest city.

For the record. I love Sydney as well. A city which also offers…

The predominant tenure type in Sydney is now renting, a shift that has occurred rapidly over the past decade and shows no signs of slowing down. It's important to also dispel the common stereotype that renters are mainly inner-city young professionals, as the majority actually…
