What we really need are more Aussies to write about how bad people are in other countries:

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/world/australia/australia-health-workers-antisemitism.html

"Australia has been hit with a rash of antisemitic attacks in recent weeks, including incidents where a synagogue was defaced with red swastikas and a day care facility was set ablaze." Because nothing says violent Zionists like little kids and their minders.

“I won’t treat them,” one of the workers, wearing medical scrubs and a hijab, is heard saying in the video. “I’ll kill them.”
"
Then there was that pro rugby player harassing some random Israeli woman on the streets of Perth not too long ago.

Seems like you lot are an intolerant bunch, the way you treat Aborigines is apparently only the tip of the iceberg

Judge declines to block Trump administration's resignation offer to federal employees

Updated February 12, 20257:38 PM ET

After issuing two stays, U.S. District Judge George O'Toole has declined to block the Trump administration's deferred resignation program for federal employees.

The ruling comes more than two weeks after the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) ..https://www.opm.gov/fork . sent an email to more than 2 million civilian employees of the federal government with the subject line "Fork in the Road."

The email presented government workers with a choice: They could resign now, in exchange for pay and benefits through the end of September, or they could remain in their positions, with the caveat that their jobs are not guaranteed.

Moreover, those who stayed would face "significant" reforms, including layoffs, a return to working in the office full time and an expectation that they be "loyal," the email said.

The legal group Democracy Forward filed a lawsuit .. https://democracyforward.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/AFGE-AFLCIO-Fork-2.4.25.pdf . on Feb. 4 on behalf of labor unions representing more than 800,000 civil servants, alleging that the Trump administration's resignation offer is unlawful, as well as "arbitrary and capricious in numerous respects." .. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/08/g-s1-47098/trump-arbitrary-lawsuits-gender-executive-actions

In his ruling, O'Toole wrote that the plaintiffs — the labor unions — lack standing to challenge the "Fork" directive, because they are not directly impacted by it.

"Instead, they allege that the directive subjects them to upstream effects including a diversion of resources to answer members' questions about the directive, a potential loss of membership, and possible reputational harm," O'Toole wrote in his decision. "This is not sufficient."
