Six of the nine justices on the US Supreme Court, which recently overturned the Roe v Wade decision, are current or former members of the Federalist Society. Founded in 1982, the Federalist Society has played a major role in “deliberately, diligently shifting the country’s judiciary to the right”. As well as training and socialising conservative law students, lawyers and professors, the society helps appoint young conservatives to prominent positions in government and to the bench. It has been very successful in this. |

Australia is at a crossroads. The decade of Coalition government showed how vulnerable our rights and freedoms could be in the face of a political party radicalised by anti-democratic and illiberal ideas. The Republican Party in America is displaying how quickly rights can be destroyed, even after it was removed from government; we need to… The post Australia needs a Bill of Rights appeared first on The AIM Network. |

The decriminalisation of abortion comes into effect in South Australia on the 7th of July1. There was a brawl within the Liberal Party, between the moderates and the conservatives, to remove abortion from the South Australian criminal code and deal with it in healthcare legislation. The fact that this legislation passed in March 2021 when the Liberal Party were in government2, demonstrated that religious nutters were not in the ascendancy in the South Australian Liberal Party. Although the legislation passed many months ago, the fact that it will only come into effect this month is extraordinary2. |

Britain’s military knew that fighters from an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist organization were benefiting from the overthrow of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in 2011, but continued to support NATO airstrikes in Libya for another two months. The revelation raises serious questions about British foreign policy and whether the U.K.’s then Prime Minister David Cameron misled Parliament. |

While millions starve, crops are used to feed cars. It’s obscene. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 30th June 2022 What can you say about governments that, in the midst of a global food crisis, choose instead to feed machines? You might say they were crazy, uncaring or cruel. But these words scarcely suffice when you seek to describe the burning of food while millions starve. |
