Remember when the Australian Jewish Association fiercely opposed the Indigenous Voice to Parliament, calling it divisive and against Aussie values? Fast-forward to 2026, and they're backing Jillian Segal's role as Antisemitism Envoy—basically a Jewish Voice to Parliament without a referendum.

Renée Good is one of at least nine people across the country who have been shot by immigration agents since September. There is something every case has in common: Everyone was in a vehicle at the time of the shooting.

the @australia.theguardian.com published an oped by me today. This heatwave is bad. The bushfires it is enabling are also bad. Climate scientists & meteorologists are incredibly concerned about the next 48 hours. And this is just a taste of what's to come. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Always worth remembering that Rupert Murdoch will die having been the most malignant force in the world of the past 80 years. One of the few of whom you can say the world would be better had he never been born.

Scores of fires, many that are huge, spanning the state of Victoria. Thank you to all the firefighters, you are heroes! No thanks to politicians that continue to ignore scientists & our evidence-based & urgent warnings about climate change, placing the lives of humans & others species at risk.

Crumbling infrastructure and public service failures are always an opportunity to stir discontent. The far right is capitalising on public anger with terrible realities during #VicFires

You know the tide has turned when it’s safer to not be part of something, than to stick with it.

VicEmergency app lit up with fires everywhere and lots of emergency warnings, evacuate immediately and watch and act warnings. Phone’s pinging constantly with updates. Zoom in on the app map and it looks a hell of a lot worse.

Anyone paying $2-$5 for a mango should look at what one public tree does in Queensland Australia. YW

"But what is clear is that the Board and the Premier both believe adults in Adelaide can’t be trusted to decide for themselves whether to wander over to hear the thoughts of an Australian academic of Palestinian origin, or whether to wander somewhere else."

Good question for Kristi Noem.

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world. The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…

Translation: we cannot keep up

Adelaide Festival spokesperson - “The board has received letters of complaint about Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah but will not be publishing this correspondence.” We already know it was the Zionist lobby ECAJ. We need a royal commission into Israel's interference in our politics & culture. #auspol

Multiple new fire starts from dry lightening as well as the very serious fires around Longwood and Walwa. Stay informed and safe everyone and follow the directions of emergency services

This morning, Israeli bulldozers, accompanied by military forces, stormed the town of Anata, northeast of occupied Jerusalem, to carry out the demolition of Palestinian homes in the city.😢💔🤬

@cathywilcox.bsky.social I totally support Cathy Wilcox’s cartoons as they portray strong social views in our community, challenge our thinking and challenge the often biased view of the conservative media and political interests in Australia. Her poignant cartoon commentary is valuable

Just a reminder that although the Aus Bushfire feed is regularly updated, there will be noise in that feed so see your state's emergency services app for important news. If you post to the feed, please include alt text if you can, or tag me and I'll do it for you. Safe travels, friends. /nofeed

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: “A 37-year-old American citizen, the mother of a young child is dead tonight. She was shot in the face by an agent of the federal government, and that government has spent the day telling despicable lies about her.”

A patient Australian magpie mother (Gymnorhina tibicen) feeds a very insistent juvenile.

If there is a Royal Commission into Bondi and anti-semitism, you are all allowed to make submissions you know.
