Pro-Palestinian protests demonstrably anti-Semitic

The pro-Palestinian protesters who demonstrated outside the Carmel School in Perth have unconsciously exposed the lie that they are anti-Israel, and not anti-Semitic. The Carmel School is not an Israeli school, it is an Australian primary school in Perth for Australian children who are Jewish. I note that there have been no protests outside those Australian primary schools in Perth for Australian children who are Muslims.

I remember the time when the ABC did a reasonable job balancing views from both sides of politics and the CSIRO understood economics sufficiently to differentiate between equipment with short and long lives.

It’s official then. Teal is just another shade of green (“Teals accused of aligning with ‘extremist Greens’ ”, 10/9).

Should Donald Trump not win the US election, Peter Dutton should give Elon Musk a call and ask him to lead an efficiency audit of government here in Australia as we desperately need it.

I need some help! Can someone please tell me: Is there any sector of the Australian economy that is not being attacked by this federal Labor government?

Mining royalties prop up the budget. Labor’s response? Veto key mining projects. Jim Chalmers blathers about a “fourth economy”. More like the Fourth World.

Congratulations to Judith Sloan for telling it like it is about migration and the numbers of international students (“Immigration policy can’t be dictated by uni chiefs”, 10/9). As we know she does on any matter you care to name. I remember when the Productivity Commission was a force of influence and rationality in Australia.

Is it a coincidence that this seemed to change when Judith left?

Considering the determination, capability and courage displayed by Jews in developing the nation of Israel from desert after 1948, one can only imagine what transformation might have taken place in the northwest of Australia had Isaac Steinberg’s plan of the 1930s been accepted.
