Nepo baby Hugo Lennon cosplays as a “concerned centrist” online, but when he wanted to know which version of Mein Kampf to buy there was only one group he turned to. Today we reveal Auspill’s neo-Nazi connections. theage.com.au/politics/victo…

For 60 years, the Hospital Research Foundation Group has been making life-changing impact for many South Australians. Today, in Parliament, we celebrate this incredible milestone and say thank you to everyone who’s been involved.

It just boggles my mind that people who are literally descended from immigrants are protesting immigration in Melbourne today. Unless you’re an indigenous Australian you came from somewhere else.

What a marvellous day to remind ourselves of the gifts of Australia, that’s provided a home to us all over several centuries, along with the world’s oldest living culture. An extraordinary place where we come together from more than 300 different cultural backgrounds, all equal, all equally Australian. Sport demonstrates this best, where our diversity, and our history, is on display every day, every week, every triumph. The Socceroos announced an exciting young squad to play NZ this Friday, led by a former international teammate of mine of Croatian-Australian ancestry, and just take a glance at the surnames. Or those of our greatest legends, Captains, or community clubs. Overnight, we revelled in another unbelievable freekick for Watford by an immensely exciting young Australian and Socceroo, of Tanzanian ancestry. How proud the Australian football community are to see young stars rise. With every goal, every win, every World Cup qualification, with the rise of the Matildas whose parents and grandparents span the globe, our chests swell with pride. What a country. Love it. Ancient, diverse, and every one of us, Aussie.

regardless of the election’s results it’s obvious this country has gotten way more rightwing especially amongst men and i think a lot of that is what is fed to us online, we have to figure out a way to stop every dude under 35 from turning into crypto hitler

Netanyahu’s standing ovation in Congress will haunt the US for generations. The world has seen the US political elite applaud a mass murderer - a genocidal butcher - and they are not going to forget it, or forgive it.

What actually happened is the Israeli army set a dog on a Palestinian man with Down’s Syndrome, which savaged him. They then left him to die of his injuries, and his decomposed body was later discovered by his relatives. This headline is a disgusting travesty.

SA Housing Minister warns the "absolute limits" of the water system in Adelaide's north have been reached. Development agreements from SA Water have slowed. No water means no new homes. Industry worried. Government working on plans. #saparli abc.net.au/news/2024-06-19/s…
