    “Antisemitic song” is rather understating things…

      On the other hand, I enjoy finally seeing a correct use of the word “antisemitic” by ABC News.

    Hey OP, I noticed at the bottom of the article it credits that it’s a republishing of the original article by ABC. Always good to link upstream if you notice that happening, for example the upstream article might notice a mistake and correct it.

      Yeah I agree. Using the upstream source also helps keep the canonical URL so cross-posts and reposts can automatically be detected to show users where conversations about the topic may have already happened.

    Completely separate from the anti-Semitism, the song itself is pretty awful. How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.

    I never knew you can get denied entry for being a bigot.

    Sweet. Hopefully this means we will deny Musk and Trump and all the rest of them too

      Unfortunately, turning away Trump would have far greater diplomatic repercussions that I just don’t see Albanese risking. Trump could pull America’s embassy stuff, or enact further tariffs or sanctions. If Albanese wasn’t ready to condemn (or at least not congratulate) the Iran strikes then he’s not going to be ready to deny Trump entry while he’s head of state.

      Musk, on the other hand, well if we denied Kanye entry then we better fluffing deny him too. It’s not like it wouldn’t clearly be a well supported move considering we’ve had one of the greatest drops in Tesla sales YoY globally.
