SA Labor's stamp duty policy appears at odds with former treasurer's view
By Evelyn Manfield
SA Labor has announced a plan to abolish stamp duty for those aged over 60 and planning to downsize at the party's election campaign launch, in what seems to be a major policy shift from the position detailed by the state's former treasurer.

In choosing to adopt the controversial & widely discredited #IHRA definition (doing so against the advice of many experts, including the author of the definition, who warns against its use for purposes linked to government regulative activity), the Royal Commission set up by the #Albanese #ALP federal government after the #BondiMassacre has now become the Royal Commission into Criticism of Israel, rather than what it claims to be, a Royal Commission into Antisemitism.
It is not antisemitic to uphold #HumanRights, #InternationalLaw and oppose a #genocide. It *is* antisemitic to conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with hatred of all Jewish people as such.
By making this move, the Commissioner has shifted the focus of investigation away from some of the very factors most responsible for the recent rise in *actual* hatred towards Jewish people as such. This will seriously impede the ability of the Commission to reach useful insights. Instead, it will likely result in shifting blame (implicitly or explicitly) onto those standing up for the lives and dignity of Israel's victims, including onto survivors, as well as relatives and friends of victims of genocide, torture, forced displacement and starvation.

'No seats at all' or one for Liberals if SA polls are correct: analyst
Two opinion polls show fewer South Australians intend to vote for the Liberal Party than One Nation ahead of the official state election campaign period.
#StateandTerritoryElections #OpinionPolls #PaulineHansonsOneNation #LiberalPartyofAustralia #ALP
There is a single party in #Australia remaining with a proposed AI regulation... This includes having humans responsible for #AI decisions.
#ALP has just adopted "industry law" model and there will be no #AiRegulation from them.
That party is the #greens
