An anti-semitism envoy who WON'T use her speech to condemn Nazis marching in the streets, sharing platforms with politicians, and bashing Aboriginal people -- but WILL strip funding from unis and arts orgs that don't silence criticism of Israel. Got it.
Nobody is “grooming” your kids to be gay or trans but people ARE grooming them to be Nazis.
Remember the good old days when the Labor wasn’t actively racist? Me neither.
What’s the real reason it’s being shut down? It sure ain’t a couple of hundred thousand dollars. Did the university council not like what it had been publishing, per chance? This was one of the handful of publications in Aus that published Randa Abdel-Fattah or Max Kaiser.
The major parties just teamed up to vote for a cruel bill that will take away basic rights of refugees and migrants.

As an activist who helped lead the campaign against Robodebt, I can only think back to the days when legal scholars told us we had no chance of winning in court, and how I thought, fuck it, we’ll keep fighting anyway The Robodebt class action payout is now the largest *ever* in Australian history

Meanjin Journal is 85 years old; older than the Sydney Opera House. Closing it down is cultural vandalism of the highest order, roughly equivalent to demolishing the above mentioned opera house. I am disgusted @meanjin.bsky.social
Meanjin has (had 😭) two - TWO - part time staff members. I'd be willing to bet my dinner that the cost of supporting Meanjin is less than what a single top 15 executive at Uni Melb makes in a year
This is why the ‘finance’ excuse feels so contemptibly threadbare to me. Why can’t they be honest about why they really shut it down
Meanwhile...
did u hear Barry White is gonna be in charge of the news
Yesterday Jacinta Price, in very underreported comments, accused the Greens of supporting genocide against Israelis. But this morning every news outlet just carries her absurd, inflammatory lines about immigration? The whole media ecosystem is just a flywheel for this stuff, amplifying garbage.

It's within the rules, but that should change - politicians receiving travel allowance to stay in homes they or their spouses own in Canberra is a very, very broken system www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
Look at UK. When 800 000 march against genocide, the government talks of banning marches & press declares them to be "hate marches". Have 3000 Nazis & other Fascists do racist protests and both the government & press heap praise on them, with gov talking about their 'concerns' being given notice.
Meanwhile… the rest of us are here in Parliament doing what we were elected to do
It’s intentional legitimisation, not an accident at all. The ABC, by and large, are an enemy now. It’s a hard thing for people who grew up with the ABC as a bastion of credibility to get our heads around.
Going Full Jasper Mode. Getting Jasperfied.
I’m sure this point has been made elsewhere but not only did they openly lie about how many recommendations were in the robodebt final report, the one they erased was to reform FOI and now they’re heading in the opposite direction. Surprise is not a feature of my reaction.

Good and honest government's don't need to hide from public scrutiny or accountability. I wish we had one of those. Apparently the problem with Robodebt was just that you were able to learn about it, and the best solution to avoiding that happening again is to change the law so you can't.
maybe we shouldn't run "neo-nazi does [anything]" as the top story on national news websites unless it's meaningfully newsworthy/impactful? these are people who want to exterminate australians + are actively trying to get attention. we can't treat them as normal political players
The first story I did for Crikey back in 2021 was reporting on a leaked neo-nazi manual showing how "media baiting" — aka tricking journalists into writing about them — was a major strategy for them. www.crikey.com.au/20...

![Nabil Al-Nashar (ABC News Journalist and TV Reporter) on LinkedIn: Just a sample of the abuse I’ve copped online since covering the “March for Australia” yesterday. Literally over a 1,000 messages. Neo-Nazi’s and/or their sympathisers have called me a “rat” ,”dog”, “poison”, “grub”, “invader” and way more colourful and creative descriptions. (Hat’s off to those who put in a bit more effort) While privately, I’ve had support from my colleagues and bosses at the ABC, it’s been eye-opening to learn some fellow Australians only accept you if you’re the right skin colour. It doesn’t matter if you’re law-abiding, pay your taxes, watch the footy and love a bbq, just as much as the next Aussie, or how much you love this country…to them if you’re not white, you’ll never be Australian.

The federal government wants to charge for making FOI requests. Ridiculous for a government allegedly committed to transparency. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/freed...

Oop, my bad. Thomas Sewell was apparently defending himself when he and his boyfriends stormed up a hill and bashed women begging them to leave. Thanks for clarifying, Herald Sun. Very responsible reporting. Good to see that providing cover for Nazis is how you’re choosing to play this one
It would be a massive mistake for progressive folk to convince themselves the March for Australia was a bust, or can safely be ridiculed. It was an alarming escalation of far-right action, and we need to reckon with it. More thoughts (un-paywalled) here: www.lamestream.com.au/how-mainstre...
Thomas Sewell is a very dangerous man. That he can turn up threatening the premier two days after being filmed attacking Camp Sovereignty and he still isn't arrested is quite something.

Labor deciding to charge for FOI requests is just more evidence that they are not interested in liberal democracy.
That is what people have been protesting for the last 97 Sundays that you are complaining about. Are you daft?
there didn't need to be an "england" because it was just Boss Country atop the empire. handover of hong kong, good friday agreement, scottish/welsh devolution in 90s meant "the only bit left that westminster still ruled" needed a new national myth. only thing it actually had was football.

![PM says some good people marched on Sunday, blames exploitation by neo-Nazis ByPaul Sakkal and Nick Newling September 1, 2025 — 6.59pm Good people attended Sunday’s fiery anti-immigration protests, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has declared, warning that neo-Nazis were exploiting people’s grievances to spread hatred. Parliament erupted on Monday with Labor, the Coalition and the Greens blaming one another for fuelling the hostility displayed by far-right extremists on Sunday and those waving terror group insignia at pro-Palestine rallies. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during question time on Monday. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese during question time on Monday.Credit:Alex Ellinghausen But after Labor ministers spent the day decrying the weekend’s anti-immigration demonstrations as racist, Albanese took a more measured tone on Monday afternoon, acknowledging the anxieties of disaffected Australians while calling out extremism. “Multiculturalism is a part of who we are as a modern nation,” Albanese said on ABC’s Afternoon Briefing. “I’d just say to people, and I have no doubt that there would have been good people who went along, heard about a rally, concerned [about social problems] … have a look at who you were with on Sunday.” “The motivation that they have, which isn’t actually about housing or our economy or anything else, it’s about sowing division. Neo-Nazis have no role.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xdnipexki6uc22sii2tb56zt/bafkreihflf7phyotnjooz2n27yv36dbphhcmc2wo4clf56s6krf22uqtbm@jpeg "Click to view full size")
Yes, @albomp.bsky.social , there were some “good people who went along.” They were at the counter rallies. How about offering them encouragement instead of the Nazis supporters. #auspol #politas
11pm, 36 hours after Nazis led crowds onto our streets, there appears to be no comment from the antisemitism envoy still. Tough when your allies are broadly on the Nazi side. 😳 #Auspol
This looks suspiciously like Mr Sewell is taking a swing at somebody at Camp Sovereignty eh.

Mate it was so fucked. There was so many cops there who literally cleared a path through our counter protest to allow them to head right there. Disgusting.
remembering all the journalists in Australia who kept insisting we should having polite cups of tea with racists and hearing them out www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...
Yes I know Anna I was there amongst others trying to stop them. But from the comment you made you are suggesting people protesting genocide/supporting Palestine are no different to a Neo Nazi rally because it spoils your Sunday plans. Pull your head in.
If you have managed to ascribe 'legitimate concerns' to people who will march with nazis and think we have too many Indians nowadays, but offered no such extension to people seeking a little less genocide, congratulations you are officially a fucking disgrace
The special envoy role is transparently 100% an Israel war crime protection racket, but still crazy you wouldn't bump out a token two-line statement saying it is also bad when neo-nazis lead marches and violently assault women

I wrote this for Crikey about how media coverage of Dezi Freeman as far back as 2018 fed his paranoia and sovereign citizen talking points. After last week's shootings, it's not great to see media today downplay the role of Nazis into the alarmingly attended March for Australia rallies yesterday.
Police have no problem with actual Nazis but holding a sign supporting an alleged cop killer is definitely a problem

Good thing Peter Khalil solved social cohesion once and for all else stuff like yesterday might be a bit of a worry
Nazis on the streets. If only we had an antisemitism envoy.
The whiplash from how quickly Aussie media will label any pro-Palestine protest as ‘antisemitic’ but when actual Neo-Nazis are protesting on some white supremacist shit the media is like ‘woah woah woah. let’s not go throwing any labels around’

Sussan Ley conflates anti-genocide protests with neo-Nazi supported rallies live.australiainstitute.org.au/2025/09/aust...
Yep. Almost like the main priority of Israel supporters isn't really combating anti-semitism at all (if it was, you might expect them to express some concern when neo-Nazi thugs are marching in the streets), but rather attempting to silence those who are opposed to the genocide in Gaza.
97 pro Palestinian marchers have occurred with no violence, definitely not the violence and menacing we saw yesterday. Yet the police stood facing counter protesters and not the Nazis. Also where is the Antisemitism Envoy - a bunch of Nazis saying very anti Jewish, anachronistic tropes.
The Victorian government has condemned an attack on Camp Sovereignty, an Indigenous protest camp, after neo-Nazis were filmed attacking people at the encampment while "armed with poles" Senator Lidia Thorpe has called for the incident to be investigated as a hate crime
Worth remembering that the Australian Senate censured Senator Mehreen Faruqi for protesting Israel’s genocide of Gaza. What’s the House censure for an MP speaking at a Nazi-organised rally?
Have seen a bunch of commentary that that there were "many people of goodwill" at the Nazi rallies - a garbage take tailor made for there to be bigger ones next time.
So it looks like our antisemitism envoy hasn’t yet addressed the fact that openly antisemitic Nazis were proudly marching on Australia’s streets marshalling a bunch of Cookers ready to be convinced that the “globalists” are the problem. And violently attacking First People. Hi Jill? Jill? #auspol

This caliper-wielding sentence should be condemned by every journalist out there The Press Council, MEAA and Media Watch should all come out with full throated disgust, condemning the publication of this as reprehensible and wholly unacceptable
It's not a 'clash' if it's neo-Nazis storming a group of people - it is an attack. Also, it's always ok to punch a Nazi. Hope that helps.
Racist, pathetic, lost little losers.
Dear journalists, when you use the expression ‘mass migration’ you have conceded territory to Nazis. Think about your language.
ABC RN journo just now 'neo-Nazis had a minor role in the rallies' and honestly she should be taken off air for that - that is clearly untrue even if you only looked at the ABC's own reporting.
This is truly dangerous. After what happened in Porepunkah last week, the media should not be downplaying the threat of violent far right men in this country.
And how is Bob Katter not being sanctioned or at least questioned for appearing at a Neo-Nazi rally?

I'd be happy if today's events -- neo-Nazi leadership of a series of white nationalist processions -- meant more people took anti-fascism seriously. That would be both ace & grouse.
So you shouldn't have to sacrifice anything for a people to have a voice while their family, culture and country are being exterminated? Ok
Well you aren't Chinese and these people can be fucking dangerous so you shouldn't be glib about what minorities should be doing to combat fascists when it should be the entire community standing against them.
Anti immigration Nazi protest the week after another week of attacks on refugees from the Australian Labor Party yes it sure is baffling Nazis think this is a popular opinion
