As the Reserve Bank of Australia and Labor and the Coalition continue to supress wages, living costs continue to rise. Peter Boyle reports.

Philippe Lazzarini expressed dismay by the speed at which international funding has been cut to UNRWA saying the decisions threaten humanitarian work in the Gaza Strip. Binoy Kampmark reports.

Nobody who supports justice could consider cutting funds to the main organisation trying to support Gazans fleeing from one end of the Gaza Strip to the other. Labor has to be pressured to reverse its untenable position, argues Alex Bainbridge.

We must stop normalising the “revolving door” phenomenon — the movement of individuals from public office to private companies and vice versa, argues Jacob Andrewartha.

Labor is only offering a milder version of the same wrong tax policy, while tossing a few peanuts to the working class, argues Peter Boyle.

Jubilee Lake Holiday Park has been run by a cooperative since 2011.

Putting holiday destinations under community control could create low-cost alternatives for working people suffering under the cost-of-living crisis. Rachel Evans reports. 

Israel has always appropriated and exceptionalised Jewish suffering, but anti-Zionist Jews reclaim their suffering under Nazi persecution from Israel’s propaganda machine, Michelle Berkon told a Palestine rally.

An independent foreign policy would involve a policy of neutrality; it would mean Australia could pursue peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with all countries, argues Bevan Ramsden.

A tragic inversion of the concept of justice is being exploited in the “conflict” in Gaza, argues Tony Smith.

Tim Gooden

Tim Gooden, retired secretary of the Geelong Trades Hall Council, believes the ACTU and unions can and should exert more public pressure on Labor to take a stand for Palestine. Alex Bainbridge interviewed him.

The orders apply to Israel, but conspicuously missing in the International Criminal Court's interim order is an explicit demand that it pause or stop military operations in Gaza. Binoy Kampmark reports.

Former Coalition Prime Minister Scott Morrison was always the apotheosis of politics’ worst tendencies: shallow form, public service for private interest and, ultimately, the scrap for survival at the expense of the grand vision, writes Binoy Kampmark.
