As long as democratic government fails to address the issues that matter beyond the elites populism and ultimately dictatorship will prevail. "We will not let this tragedy change our nation" they claim, as Minns limits free speech and the right to protest peacefully against Israel's genocide.

Abbott is not a former prime minister quietly offering reflection. He is a paid director of Fox Corporation, Rupert Murdoch’s US outrage sausage-machine. It is a gig worth well over AU$500,000 a year, not an honorary, civic duty. theaimn.net/abbotts-bond...

Grandstanding on grief, Abbott wants to speak for “all Australians” again. Instead, he climbs private grief, nationalises it, and crowns himself the nation’s voice, while blaming Labor and attacking “radical Islam.” theaimn.net/abbotts-bond...

The trial of Anthony Albanese The Bondi Beach memorial was hijacked to force Albanese to act in a way that fully supports Israel’s interest, even though, essentially, it’s what he’s being doing all along. open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...

“This is a betrayal of Labor values, a betrayal of our hard-won democratic rights, and a betrayal by Chris Minns of his own colleagues,” the Labor National Policy Forum member and convenor of Labor Friends of Palestine said. “These laws are not about saving lives.”

seeing people react to Bill Clinton (again) say "release the Epstein files" with "oh he's falling on his sword" rather than admit that he has literally nothing to hide is... something, that 1990s Clinton insanity virus keeps paying off for the GOP

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house. This is where America is now

JD Vance: “her street girl persona is about as real as her nails” Jasmine Crockett: “How about you stop worrying about me, until we are on the Senate floor together & work to stop your boss from bankrupting our country while engaging in the largest corruption scheme we’ve ever seen?!”

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

The full spiked 60 Minutes CECOT package, clean & subtitled. 1/5

BREAKING: WATCH the full 60 Minutes CECOT segment here. This was sent to me anonymously. It appears to be the segment CBS' Bari Weiss killed. www.muellershewrote.com/p/watch-the-...

I highly recommend watching this segment, not just because the CBS News execs and the White House didn’t want you to, but because these men were tortured and they deserved to have their voices heard.

The Australian community knows well the difference between Netanyahu and Albanese. That's why they overwhelmingly returned him, as Dutton wooed "the Jewish community". Vile, personal abuse of our PM by Jewish leaders is not the answer to anti semitic fanatics.

I see we've reached the stage of gun reform where we conflate the needs of farmers to eradicate feral and pest animals with recreational hunters, and fail to deal with the 'enthusiast' who owns hundreds of guns to no end other than fetishisation.

THEY ALL VOTED FOR A KNOWN RAPIST! AND, EVEN WORSE, A RAPIST PEDOPHILE! 😱🤮

People are rightly disgusted by this speech, but it’s a measure of fascism’s normalization that many see this as more of the awful same rather than what I think most of us who’ve been reporting this beat hear it as: a significant calculated escalation. Full alert stuff.

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care. My latest for Democracy Docket lays out the case. Sign up now to access this and all premium content. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Israel Approves 19 New Settlements in the Occupied West Bank

Ten pickers who worked at Hallmark Cherries' orchard in NSW complain about poorly maintained accommodation and failure to pay an end-of-season bonus.

This @peterbakernyt.bsky.social paragraph is a perfect summary of our descent into authoritarianism. He’s not even editorializing. He’s just reporting what’s happened, and what we’ve become numb to. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/21/u...

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

This is a stunning piece of work by Global Witness laying out how Musk's chatbot software actively helps spread climate denial and disinformation. globalwitness.org/en/campaigns...

Democracy in Australia is just as much at risk from the far right Zionist lobby as it is from Muslim extremists. Beware knee jerk, emotional responses leading to dangerously restrictive and one sided legislation. International law has condemned Israel under Netanyahu and his murderous cabinet.

It is a complete distortion of reality for the international crimes, the annexation of a territory and an overwhelmingly disproportionate genocide as a response to a Hamas attack, however brutal, to not be taken into account when considering the killings by Sajid Akram and Naveed Akram at Bondi.

Anthony Albanese needs to distance himself from the far right Zionists captive to the political interests of Netanyahu. They do not speak for "the Jewish community" whatever that is. A "vigil" is not a political event. Not a place for booing. 15 victims are not political toys.

When did anyone in Australia, let alone our grotesque media, make John Howard personally responsible for the 35 Port Arthur killings? It is heinous how the Zionist far right have attempted to blame Anthony Albanese for Bondi; booing at a vigil an utter disgrace.

MP: Chris, do you have any closing thoughts before we go? CH: No. Just my warning to Australia is, you know, don't let the United States turn you into a colony because that's what they're trying to do.

Sabra Lane was appalling on AM this morning, pushing a political agenda, as we hear Israel has breached international law with impunity by opening more Jewish settlements in the west bank. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Wrecking government is a sure fire way to deter tourists. They have a choice in destinations, and will avoid even visa fees, as well as the prospect of deportation to a prison in a surprise country.

This week, Professor James Hansen and colleagues published projections that the global temperature record could reach +1.7°C by 2027. And if that number lands in your gut the way it landed in mine, good. It should. #climatecrisis #auspol www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/two-yea...

Where are the calls for Jewish leaders in Australia to renounce the Zionist extremism and hate manifested in The Golden Noose" and Netanyahu's actions in Gaza? Why is it always only Muslims from whom apologies are demanded? theaimn.net/ethics-matte...

A Royal Commission on the Bondi Killings may well expose the fact that the Coalition did not pay enough attention to the security threat posed by the Akrams in 2019.

Two existential challenges confront the State of Israel at this hour: defeating our enemies and taking every possible precaution to ensure that we do not become like them – neither in their savagery, nor in their abandonment of morality.

Those who believe meeting the first challenge can be achieved without the second have forgotten what it means to be Jewish. www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

Sky News’s reach into regional Australia, where it is broadcast free to air, remains a particular concern, and one the government watches closely. Yet there is a growing belief that the era in which Murdoch could reliably determine electoral outcomes has passed. Paul Bongiorno - SatPaper
