#Israel passed a new law imposing the death penalty on any Palestinian convicted of a fatal attack. Highly discriminatory, & applied to sentences imposed on 'trials' based on torture-induced 'confessions'. Obviously does not comply with #humanRights #IntLaw. www.dw.com/en/israel-pa...

A disgraceful move by the National Press Club to platform Israel’s ambassador to Australia today after Israel overnight introduced an apartheid death penalty regime for Palestinians.

Put another way, 70% of kids self-reporting to their parents that they’re breaking the law is 🤯. Hard to imagine how that number could be worse.

National Press Club: how about we invite these guys for a fancy lunch

BREAKING: Israel's Knesset has passed a law to execute Palestinian detainees. Death by hanging. Mandatory sentencing. No pardon. 90 days to carry out. It applies through military courts with a 96% conviction rate. It does not apply to Israelis.

My guess is that 2 to 3 kids out of 10 are also lying to their parents

Absolute shit being uttered by the Israeli Ambassador at the National Press Club. Disgusting lies and filth. Every journalist there should walk out.

NEW: Australia's teen social media ban's honeymoon period is over. Facing scrutiny over widespread circumvention, the Albanese government is set to ratchet up the pressure on tech companies. But it has to contend with court challenges, lobbyist campaigns and infighting between the ban's supporters.

The Press Club cancelled Pulitzer winner Chris Hedges after he submitted a speech on the killing of Palestinian journalists, then booked Israel's ambassador instead. If you wonder why media reporting on Gaza genocide has been so disappointing this is what they think is normal.

What sort of a press club welcomes murderers of journalists?

Congratulations to the National Press Club for giving a voice to this murderous regime. The entire board should be forced to resign. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

A letter to the National Press Club. Send them your thoughts too, please.

Israel murders journalists for fun, so it makes sense the National Press Club would invite the Israeli ambassador to speak www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

*the conflict we support

The social media ban is obviously a dud, and the government is flailing on what to do next. Great piece of work here by @cameronwilson.bsky.social

You know it’s a proud journalism organisation full of integrity when it tries to hide its own speakers from public scrutiny

Wild that we’re planning to spend half a trillion dollars on submarines when the Iranians and Ukrainians have shown all you need is $5k drones

It’s such a laughably bad argument for the war on Iran to say “The people there want regime change.” I want regime change in the US, and I 100% do not want the US to be bombed. F off with garbage arguments.

"This is the one thing we didn't want to happen"

“Measures to tackle gambling harms are among the longest stalled, at just over 1000 days, while advice on other critical issues such as the transition to a green economy, the rights of Indigenous people and food supply lines has been ignored for more than 500 days”

This is the song I’m going to play the day we are free of that demented fascist

One day it may even be able to transport passengers

Mainstream media is continuing its word policing on behalf of the Netanyahu regime. In Gaza, "genocide" could never be used unless highly qualified, or with right of reply to the genocidaires. Lebanon; the Israeli invasion and ethnic cleansing has the media scurrying to the euphemism thesaurus.

Absolutely ridiculous. Same NY Times site, same time. One click apart. It’s been like this for weeks now; you’d think they would figure out something more accurate than “Trump says (nonsense)”

Israel plans to "take control" (ABC) of a "buffer zone" (BBC; Guardian) aka a "security zone" (ABC) and its defence min has "urged the Lebanese govt to disarm Hezbollah fighters" (SMH) or the area could face "a long occupation", "adding to pressure" on the people who have "fled their homes" (Age).

First, the good news. The bathwater has been disposed of.

“A Palestinian toddler was returned from a 10-hour detention by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip with apparent cigarette burns on his thighs, according to medical reports.” www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-to...

Solidarity with the ABC strikers. And an encouragement to include a little clause about freedom of political expression on Gaza etc in their demands.

Trump has reached the "I know we have to end it, just give me a few more days to manipulate the market with contradictory announcements" stage. Albanese:

They found him. They found the one guy.

He's trying to say that he'll also die a sad, lonely death on the toilet

Had a great conversation with Ash Sarkar, left-political UK author and commentator, about the ideas behind her excellent book Minority Rule + much more. Thx to @3rrrfm.bsky.social

The United States and Israel are setting the world on fire with Albanese’s active support. This is directly against the wishes of the Australian people. The war parties in Canberra once again choose Washington over the Australian public.

People close to Trump bought $1.5 billion on S&P futures market a few minutes before Trump’s Iran announcement on the weekend, and dumped $580m oil stocks. Insider trading estimated to have made them $60m in 15 minutes.

The Iranian regime is so much better at this stuff than Trump’s idiots

A million people displaced. Support this too, prime minister? We can only assume you do.

Market capitalism is definitely the most efficient way to let a demented rapist and his genocidal friend wipe 7-10% of global stock markets because they felt like starting a war

This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Having failed to secure the Snickers or M&Ms that were my original objectives, sources tell the Washington Post I will now be refocusing all energy on extracating my hand from where it is stuck inside the vending machine and restoring said machine to the working order it was in prior to my arrival.

Astonishing. The goal of our war is now to undo the effect of the war we started. Gosh, if only we could rewind to, say, four weeks ago when the Strait of Hormuz was open and normal!

You’d think journalists would at some stage consider whether this war has been in Australia’s best interests, and whether there might be political consequences to Labor’s enthusiastic support

According to One Nation, first there were no good Muslims, and now we are cattle to be bought and sold. It can’t get more disgusting. This is what Islamophobia looks like, and this is the kind of racist, hollow culture wars that are all One Nation have to offer.

“NSW land registry records seen by Deepcut reveal Bullock settled a property in the beach town of Yamba for $2,050,000 on March 17 – the day Bullock hit Australians with a second consecutive 0.25% rate rise.” You can’t make it up.

Things are at crisis point at the ABC according to one of their high profile reporters. Good on him for speaking out.

Her inner self, expressed

Real food for thought for One Nation in SA tonight: even though there are quite a lot of you now, everyone else still hates you

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

The PM said he will also be banning the use of 'hateful slurs' including 'spineless prick' and 'class traitor'. chaser.com.au/national/alb...
