Last Post: Unis should be last places incubating anti-Semitism

There is an irony that our universities – including Monash, named after a Jew – are such hotbeds of anti-Semitism. Jews have been major benefactors of our universities and so many top prominent Jewish lawyers have received their degrees at these universities.

It must be quite difficult being the average Labor and teal politician, having to pretend you’re slightly pro-Israel when you’re basically the opposite.

The question isn’t whether the PM’s private dinner with Indian millionaires was an ALP fundraiser (“PM, the dodgy student college, the degustation dinner, and Dan Andrews”, 30/1). It’s what was expected in return.

This government is weak. It should follow President Trump, who has issued an edict to his civil servants to put in a full week at work or resign (“Home affair for our public servants”, 31/1). Anthony Albanese is scared to do the same.

Perhaps one noteworthy thing is that the recent aircraft collision in the US happened above the Potomac River – no victims in the water hit by debris – and not above land (“Scrutiny on chopper pilots’ failure ‘to see, avoid’ ”, 1-2/2).

Thank you, Simon Heffer, it is indeed time we woke up, drained the backyard swamp and, without feeling guilty, restored the good old-fashioned common sense (“Time to say bye-bye to the wokerati’s bullying tactics”, 1-2/2).

I’ll believe inflation is under control when the 500g tub of butter I buy costs $3.50, as it did before Covid, and not the current $7. Specials do not count.

If proof is needed that federal and state Labor parties have absolute contempt for the Victorian electorate, then look no further than the decision to hold off the Victorian budget until after the next federal election.

China has a rival, keeping pace with its tech program (“World faces its end game”, 1-2/2). With the development of the nation’s first supercomputer, Israel is cementing its status as a leader in tech ecosystem development.
