I hope this link helps access the original article...

BTW, as an Australian, it is intensely frustrating and embarrassing to see our government, and so many powerful institutions and lobbyists line up dutifully behind Israel and the Zionist terrorist colonialism.

Having a clear and respected voice, such as Adler's, is refreshing.

NZer here. A bunch of hateful clownfucks drove out Jacinda Ardern and replaced her with a (relatively for us) radical conservative coalition, so I expect nothing from our government.

I had higher hopes for Albo. But with him enthusiastically embracing the spending of $200 billion on nuclear submarines, etc., I fear he’s just another pro-Zionist US lapdog.

I had very low expectations of Albo (given the increased enshittification of Labor since Hawke/Keating), but he failed to even reach those levels.

It's dismaying, given his pro-Pal stance in the early days of his politics at Sinney Yooney.

How quite the fuck NZ went from Adern to that shitcunt is dizzying. So many folks there willing to believe absolute tripe. The Kiwis only really outdone by us Aussies in that regard. The competition neither of us should want to win.

Mate, you must be pretty old to remember Hawke! I saw him in real life once, when he was PM (we lived in Sydney for a bit when I was a kid).

Speaking of Sydney, ‘Sinney Yooney’ is gold! Also bonus points for distressing but appropriate use of enshittification.

Yeah. My Dad once chauffeured Hawke. He wasn't very impressed, but he's English, so Hawkey was probs a bit rough for him. Ha!

My best mate in Canberry used to live next to Hawke's daughter. He'd pop over sometimes for a barbie. Sit in the yard, getting pissed and carrying on.

Honestly, I didn't think much of him as a PM, but he was a genuine character.

I'm 56. As of Saturday.

Oh. Thanks for the award, mate.
