Unfortunately MAGA is covered in Australia's only national paper in depth every day as it's owned by Murdoch. Yes to both questions, except one parent must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident. I assume you're fully conversant with paleo conservatism the core ideology of MAGA world though i would guess the vast majority of MAGA are not. EDIT: In Australia, a child born within the country does not automatically gain citizenship by birth if neither parent is a permanent resident or citizen; to acquire citizenship in this situation, the child must be "ordinarily resident" in Australia for the first 10 years of their life, meaning they must live primarily in Australia throughout that period.

It's a cruel attempt to revert rights and not according to the Constitution. Just like trump cancelling all asylum seeking assessments who already have appointments. I assume driven by his white supremacist Stephen Miller who's the the White House deputy chief of staff for policy and United States Homeland Security Adviser. No doubt pleasing many MAGA types, but will nave to go through appeals etc. trump will break his promises not to reduce Medicare and other welfare programs. In fact it's already started... https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-scrapped-a-proposed-2-drug-program-for-seniors-but-why-181219100.html https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2025/politics/trump-presidency-vs-us-constitution-dg/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Miller_(political_advisor)

Just to add...many of trump's Executive orders will be challenged in the Courts, IMO a deliberate tactic e.g. Birth right Children already has as being contrary to the Constitution which will go to the Supreme Court. If his stacking of the Court fails you can bet trump will create more chaos blaming the Deep State. However, the ugliness in US politics will worsen either way the Court decides and feed into MAGA extremism.

Bet there are a lot of people who don't know the Nazi Party is not banned in the USA.

I'm assuming you are referencing trump. No-one forced them to take the actions they made and trump had previously claimed he would not pardon those who committed acts of violence, though it appears that claim was yet another lie. So in your opinion who "fitted them up" and why? -
As I've said twice I just posted some thoughts. You well know PLA were defeated militarily in Gaza some years back. PLA have expressed interest in taking back Gaza in a governance role for which they will require support to push out Hamas armed fighters. Whether that is possible I do not know, but if Israeli forces move back into Gaza, IMO, they will lose international support. Who knows maybe the Abraham Accords may turn out to a useful mechanism other than enriching trump family.

Hamas leadership have not all been killed; those killed are replaced. Many who have knowledge of Hamas say their fighters who have been killed are being replaced. Have to wait and see how peace unfolds in Gaza and the West Bank, quite possible will kick off again, though hopefully not. Hezbollah have not been wiped out.
-
As I said just my thoughts. I do not know what's happening in secret between various parties. However, I understand PLA has been discussed as a potential mechanism to replace Hamas.. Who knows maybe the US or KSR will give each of the Hamas leaders a billion dollars to retire - cheaper than another war.

Thanks. Utter stupidity by al-Hayya - completely self defeating. It will be the general population of Gaza and West Bank who will suffer the most. To call out Oct 7 as a military accomplishment is moronic as it's led to severe injury to the Palestinian people and Hamas for no political gain except the release of some Palestinian criminals. Maybe the enrichment of the Hamas leadership during reconstruction. IMO PLA quickly need new leadership and international support to take out Hamas.

Lies, none of the people you mention support the eradication of Israeli Jews. With relevance to yourself, so far as I'm concerned, is the inappropriate use of Nazi terminology with the attempt of generalised demonisation of the Palestinian people, not that you support Nazi ideology. Got a problem with my POV take it up with Mod/s as I do not retract my post.

It has already been reported that Hamas are rebuilding their "fighters" to replace those killed and seriously injured. Unless Israel and a Palestinian led group can reach a diplomatic solution and Palestinian enforcement capability there will be ongoing killing and destruction. Personally I believe a Two State solution is now unachievable (700,000 Israelis in the West Bank), obviously requires a strategic revaluation to finally have a pathway for lasting peace. Perhaps ceding Area C to the Israelis - Realpolitik.

Both Biden and Trump took credit, though, of course Trump claimed it was all due to him; to quote: "This EPIC ceasefire agreement could have only happened as a result of our Historic Victory in November, as it signaled to the entire World that my Administration would seek Peace and negotiate deals to ensure the safety of all Americans, and our Allies," https://www.reuters.com/world/biden-announces-israel-hamas-ceasefire-deal-2025-01-15/
