Labor's draconian bill, whichĀ would allowĀ the immigration ministerĀ to send asylum seekers back to countries where they could be killed, is one of the worst decisions it has made since being elected, argues Sue Bull.

The Anthony Albanese governmentās treatment of Palestinian refugees escaping the genocide in Gaza presents another blatant example of state-sponsored racism, argues Jonathan Strauss.
Labor is playing aĀ game over Gaza. To claim to support a ceasefire while arming and giving political cover to the perpetrators of genocide is sick cynicism, argues Sam Wainwright.
The Palestine solidarity movement is shaking politics up:Ā 81%Ā wantĀ Israel to ceasefireĀ and 53% want Labor to take more action to achieve a ceasefire. Chloe DS reports.
Laborās āgrave concernā about a ācatastrophicā military operation in Rafah is not enough, says the Socialist Alliance. It must respect Palestiniansā calls for an immediate and lasting ceasefire, with no conditions.
Globally, the Palestine movementās demand for an arms embargo on Israel has had some success. We need to keep up the pressure here, argues Sue Bolton.
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. LaborĀ has to be pressured to reverse its untenable position, arguesĀ Alex Bainbridge.
A deceitful historical narrative, at best, dismisses the systematic dispossession and genocide of First Nations peoples as being in the distant past. It isn'tĀ and it needs to be stopped, argues Peter Boyle.
Labor and Coalition governments like to justify their policiesĀ as being based onĀ supposed shared democratic values, which they thenĀ conflateĀ with āAustralian interestsā. But the moral postering is coming underdone,Ā as Peter Boyle argues.
Laborās reaction to the High CourtĀ rulingĀ that indefinite detention is unlawful underscores itsĀ continuing racist scapegoating of refugees, argues Jonathan Strauss.
Jacob Andrewartha argues that the more capitalist leadersĀ tryĀ to normalise Israelās genocidalĀ war on Gaza,Ā the moreĀ the movement for Palestine will grow and we all need toĀ help.
There are some very straight-forward solutions to ease theĀ sustained cost-of-living crisis, as Peter Boyle outlines. But they require a redirection of public funds away from the corporate profits-first agendas of the major parties.
