Hey OP, I noticed at the bottom of the article it credits that it's a republishing of the original article by ABC. Always good to link upstream if you notice that happening, for example the upstream article might notice a mistake and correct it.
On the other hand, I enjoy finally seeing a correct use of the word "antisemitic" by ABC News.
pls check the comm before reposting the same news story that's already been here for hours.
I disagree with the implication that a child should be left to die if the medical centre isn't paid. I know the doctors need to be paid and their work deserves to be compensated, I know medical centres need to have costly supplies to operate, of course, but the commodification of society's critical healthcare needs is an atrocity.
The author suggests it was the doctor's lack of care, but if there's some missing context that somehow justified their decision, it's still a damning insight into paid healthcare systems. Would distributing the cost of that treatment be more or less damaging than the cost of denying it?
one less doctor
On the other hand, if they're replaced with someone who doesn't let patients die like that, that's saving lives.
I hope they heal up alright and keep their sight. A friend who was arrested by NSW Police at Port Botany for similar protests said they saw headshot photos in the police station of people the police were aiming to arrest (union and organisation leaders) so I don't think it's an "unfortunate coincidence" they brutalised someone so famous. [edit: scare quotes, not quoting anyone]
Yeah let's have a look into those tax-deductible charities they're dumping tens of millions into. I've seen this abused overseas so I won't blindly trust them over here.
I ask out of ignorance: is there much difference to how quick the ignition tends to be? I've seen lithium battery explosions from laptops but few (non-Hollywood) car explosions.
New checkbox on the sign-up form. Works every time.
Yeah part 2 is about a different subsection specific to niche indigenous groups trying to play the same kind of "well technically" game with fake laws instead of actual effective resistance strategies, so while I think it's interesting too, it's less relevant to these news stories we see so it's alright to hold off on.
Which brings us full-circle
Yeah, interesting to see that the legal system (at least that judge) has finally stopped with the initial toleration of these SovCit-style claims. When the system ignores or shows the restraint to tolerate this flavour of SovCit pseudolaw, it can validate them and (as you pointed out) some have lost homes or ended up in prison over their idiot ideas. That really puts context into the judge's quote below; it's not just the harassment or gun-holding compounds to worry about, but the danger this delusional arrogance can do to themselves.
Mr and Ms Martin have told me more than once they are not dangerous people," he wrote. "The ideas they express, however, can be extremely dangerous"
"These guys are honestly fairly chill as long as you’re not close to their nest (like inside 1m), and they’re important pollinators and great pest removal experts."
Save the flamethrower for the real scary bugs.

Join us to rally for the rights of the CFMEU and defend our democratic rights.
The new legislation targeting the CFMEU, stripping away its democratic processes based on unproven rumours is still standing. This is a dangerous precedent, threatening every union member’s right to organise and be heard. This precedent is undemocratic and anti-union! Let’s show up and demand these unjust laws be repealed!
It's important to understand the administration as a precedent, rather than specifically looking at the CFMEU. This has already had a chilling effect on other unions wanting to avoid similar repression, and just like many times before, sets up an attack for the Liberal Party to extend when next elected. That's why it's critical for other workers like us to stand together in solidarity, before there's no strong unions left to stand for ours. I urge those who can to come and bring friends, and those who can't to donate to the campaign - since the administration has seized the union's funds, they are relying on the generosity of other unions and political parties for printing fliers, buying flags, providing spaces and other basic organising needs.

That last paragraph. Oh my.
I hope the Cancer Council ones are fine.
