Israel is still a pluralistic society in a way that states hostile to it are not. Rather than calling for “Death to Israel”, we should defend this pluralistic Israel while calling out the crimes of its current rulers who seek to crush not only Gaza, but also Israel’s pluralism.

As far as we knew Jesus would have done his exorcisms in Aramaic or, at a stretch, possibly scriptural Hebrew in some cases. I guess Jesus’s exorcisms were pretty ineffective then.

Hong Kong tax authorities have no privilege to concoct taxes. Or at least they ought not to have if they respected the rule of law.

Thank you Lei Cheng for inviting me to your documentary’s premiere and for a signed copy of your book! Your story is a real inspiration on the power of hope in the midst of despair.

Ummm… the only party that is actually threatening to use military force in the Taiwan Straits is China. Dangerously reckless and ignorant views expressed by a senior Australian journalist whose next gig is “Global Affairs”.

The Law Society of South Australia has spoken out against attempts to intimidate lawyer Ted Hui (Chi-fung Hui), which coincides with Hong Kong’s ruthless authoritarian turn in recent years. I’m not holding my breath for the Law Society of Hong Kong to speak out in my defence.

History will not be forgotten, even if tyrants spent 36 years trying to wipe out all memory and hope. Let us also remember the likes of Hong Kong political prisoner Hang Tung Chow 鄒幸彤, who is on a 36-hour hunger strike as an act of remembrance. Lest We Forget. #TiananmenMassacre

The last time Hong Kong had a water safety scandal, it was Democrat Helena Wong who called the authorities to account and forced them to fix things quickly after they initially tried to fob things off just like now. Helena is now in prison on trumped-up NatSec charges.

History tells us that when the power of wealth and the power of the State are pitted against each other, the power of the State almost always wins, hands down.

On this day 13 years ago, Tiananmen activist Li Wangyang was killed by PRC days after he gave a defiant interview to Hong Kong media. On this day, jailed HK democracy activist Joshua Wong has more trumped up NatSec charges piled on him. RIP Li Wangyang. Free Joshua Wong.

Downloading and playing an online game (and paying to play the game and for certain of its settings and features) is now considered national security crimes in Hong Kong. It’s the best advertisement that 逆統戰:烽火 Reversed Front: Bonfire can have.

The difference between the two sides yesterday was that of the third seamer - South Africa had Ngidi and Australia had Cummins. And Cummins was better than Ngidi yesterday.

Only the very best regularly take wickets against the flow of play. Pat Cummins falls into this category. What a luxury for a captain to have. #WTCFinal

Tonight’s #AFLhawkscrows game is just the propaganda the AFL needed for why they are insisting on a roofed stadium for the Tassie team.

Congratulations to South Africa. Well deserved. And good for Test Cricket that it’s not just one of the “Big 3” winning. Disappointed as I might be with the result as an Australian, cricket is the winner. #WTCFinal

You mean we Aussies are gracious losers, unlike those Poms who moan about “moral victories” and “don’t understand the WTC slow over rate penalties” and the like? #WTCFinal

Apparently “the residents of Tehran will pay the price” for Iran’s targeting of Israeli civilian areas. This is an incredibly idiotic position to take and will undermine all of Israel's objectives in this war. The Iranian people are broadly aligned with Israel in that they want
