One Nation Surges in Eastern Victoria | Melbourne News

The November vote could hinge on whether disillusioned voters choose change or competence. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Balancing Campus Views on Israel-Palestine | Melbourne News

A parliamentarian warns universities must rethink how they teach the Israel-Palestine conflict, arguing current courses often fail to present balanced perspectives — leaving students ill-equipped to form informed opinions.

His strategy of pre-debate consensus and party unity projects stability, countering voter drift toward populist parties like One Nation.

Extremists Unite in Antisemitism Threat | Melbourne News

Tahli Blicblau, head of the Dor Foundation, delivered a chilling warning to the royal commission: extremist groups from the far-right, far-left, Islamic extremism, and conspiracy circles are converging on antisemitism as their common enemy — forming a dangerous, unprecedented alliance that’s fueling global and domestic terror threats. With her intelligence and community roots, Blicblau urged Australia to move beyond token cooperation, demanding institutionalized ties between law enforcement and Jewish communities, and calling for urgent, non-philanthropic funding to safeguard the public — especially the Jewish population — from a threat that’s evolving faster than current systems can respond.
