Long Live the Communist Party of Palestine!

Gaza: Communist Party of Palestine Statement! (21.1.2025)

These military movements aim to strengthen American hegemony in the region at the expense of the peoples of the Arab region and their aspirations for freedom, independence and separation from imperialist control. If the agreement is implemented, our Palestinian people will find themselves facing a new entitlement in the West Bank, where they will have to defend their existence and rights against the policies of the occupation and the fascist, murderous settler gangs. The large and violent attack on Palestinian villages by these murderers is the greatest evidence of the upcoming challenges. The Palestinian masses in Gaza and the West Bank will remain in a permanent confrontation with the occupation to preserve their dignity and survival, which requires a unified Palestinian position against any form of normalization with the Zionist occupation and confronting its plans and attacks.

Lastly, when the capitalist world was going through an orgy of self-congratulation following the collapse of the USSR in 1991 – Steve Wright continued to point-out (in a humorous and acceptable manner) all the inconsistencies that still lay within the capitalist system. As to whether this was his intention I do not know. As he was earning over £400,000 per year – I suspect not.

Wellbeing of Australian Children in Decline: Study! (23.8.2023)

“Now that pandemic restrictions have been lifted, life has not necessarily gone back to how it was pre-pandemic. And when we assessed how children have fared in terms of wellbeing across this period, the news was not good,” Dumuid said.

Life satisfaction, optimism, happiness, perseverance, worry, sadness, emotional regulation and cognitive engagement were considered as measures of wellbeing.

Exercise and healthy eating were generally associated with higher wellbeing.

Researchers used the findings to call for urgent and equitable support for the wellbeing of all young Australians.

“Everyone has a responsibility to look out for the next generation. We all play a role in the overall wellbeing of our kids,” Dumuid said.
