Rinehart demands National Gallery of #Australia remove her portrait

“The mining billionaire Gina Rinehart has demanded the National Gallery of Australia remove her portrait from an exhibition by the award-winning artist Vincent Namatjira.

The image, arguably an unflattering picture of Australia’s richest woman, is one of many unveiled at the Canberra gallery.”

If you’re curious about how Icelandic politics are going:

• The parliament ombudsman has come to the conclusion that freedom of enterprise always take precedence over animal welfare laws and that attempting to enforce those laws against a company is actually illegal.
• This means that banning whaling is essentially impossible in Iceland
• So the fisheries minister who attempted to enforce animal welfare law is likely to lose her job
• Also might mean that the gov might collapse entirely

Just to make this clear to the non-Germans amongst my mutuals: there were not "10s of thousands" on the streets against #fascism in #Germany but 100s of thousands, probably around 1.4 million in total. The largest demonstrations since reunification.

Given the horrific nature of Hamas’s attacks, destroying its military arm is a legit act of defense. Targeting its civil administration and starving the population of #Gaza—40% of which are children under 14–are war crimes.

Seems straightforward to me but a lot of people can’t or won’t grasp that.

Netanyahu tonight compared Hamas to ISIS.

"We haven't seen the atrocities that Hamas has committed since the atrocities of ISIS. We just started hitting Hamas. The photos from their strongholds in Gaza are just the beginning. What we wil do to our enemy will be remembered by them for generations," he said.
