The Greens warned the hate laws were biased and would target the wrong people. It took less than a month for police to raid Dissent Bar and prove every concern right. Laws supposedly about antisemitism are being used against anti-fascists.

Here's a pic of new far-RW president of Chile Miguel Kast with Alejandro Chafuen, the #AtlasNetwork president (1991-2017) who negotiated 🤑💰💲from Exxon oil for a massive expansion of his thinktank network in order to kill off an effective UN climate treaty with lies & propaganda. 😘#TheyCookedYourKids

No one invited Pauline Hanson to Ramadan Nights in Lakemba did they? Oh well, see you there Sunday night inshallah!

Australian children are trapped in a Syria in dreadful danger. At this time Save the Children have shown more leadership, decency and humanity than every Australian media outlet and every member of the Lib/Labor/PHON parties combined. Thank you to them.

Now? My @smh cartoon.

One Nation, Liberals, Labor, they are all the same. They refuse to take on corporate power, refuse to invest in public housing and essential public goods, then play politics with immigration to divide and distract us.

When I watch videos like this I get that Anne Twomey has much the same problem as me. We both need to spend an inordinate amount of our time just trying to stop politicians from doing things that are really dumb. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXJL...

Compulsory Zionist training for university staff is next step down Labor's road to authoritarianism. It's dangerous mind control writes Nick Riemer #auspol michaelwest.com.au/antisemitism...

AUKUS is sinking and Labor responds by making up a $30 billion un-budgeted AUKUS announceable for the SA State election. This stuff is straying so far from reality.

How dare they try to patronise powerful and principled women like this while they obsessively attack their every utterance. This paper is a disgrace.

It's a good step that the LECC will investigate police misconduct and violence at Town Hall during the anti-Herzog protest. Now we need an independent investigation of the political incitement to violence by the NSW Premier and others.

The job. My @smh cartoon.

Cohesion. My @smh cartoon.

The head of the State of Israel is making a very public visit to Australia. Visa considerations include if someone is implicated in war crimes and genocide. The Government refuses to even acknowledge if they gave President Herzog a visa

Government buying votes of former students, while disastrous Job Ready Graduates fees swell HECS debts for current students. Jason Clare is worst education minister ever.

Here's me. "Why the fuck would we 'socially cohere' for monsters?"

Utterly devastating. Jon Kudelka was so good and so compassionate and so funny. *Nobody* skewered the Albanese government better. Rest easy, Jon 💔

Morning. ☕️

David v Goliath - a lone coal miner tackles BHP - finally gets to court this week but the judge has whacked a suppression order on it #auspol #wagetheft michaelwest.com.au/david-v-goli...

@australianlabor.bsky.social How about we refuse to deal with Israel's govt until they stop killing babies, children and adults who aren't dead already, in a 'ceasefire', as a matter of priority, before addressing the damaged graves problem?

A massive increase in 75+ year olds living in rental stress. More are renting, & for longer, in a housing crisis where rents are thro the roof.

As if we needed more proof, we share no values with this man and his regime. Australia urgently needs an independent foreign and defence policy. End AUKUS.

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files. It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

Let’s have a little clarity here. Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians. Multiple authorities confirm this. And Israel’s president “declined to express the least reservation” about this genocide. Of course folks will protest his visit here. Folks *including* Jewish Australians.

This is an environmental win for the ages. They tried to start seabed mining in Aotearoa. For 12 years we fought back. And won. A magnificent alliance of iwi and environment NGOs and 100,000s of NZers www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/pre...

Zionism is a sickness. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

I asked the AFP if they are investigating any involvement in war crimes by Isaac Herzog. They say he is entirely immune from prosecution for this.

AUKUS is a toxic package, not just hundreds of billions to maybe get a handful of US nuclear subs, it’s expanding US bases here, taking the nuclear waste AND going to war with China whenever the US demands it. Paying to surrender sovereignty and join the next US war! End AUKUS.

Pauline Hanson’s first act in Parliament after returning following suspension for appalling divisive behaviour is with One Nation to turn their backs on the Acknowledgement of Country. What a disgrace.

Albo has both the legal grounds and a moral obligation to arrest Israeli president Isaac Herzog when he arrives in Australia - UN Commissioner Chris Sidoti #auspol michaelwest.com.au/arrest-herzo...

Despite Sussan Ley writing a strong opinion piece opposing the Bill and despite Liberal senators writing a strong Senate dissenting report against the Bill, the Libs voted with Labor to keep the #FOI Amendment Bill alive 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️. The Nationals walked from the Senate chamber (abstained). #auspol

New from me: Why won't the government switch off the unlawful mutual obligations system? FOI documents reveal a ramshackle Department that's scrambling to cover legal messes, preserve industry profits, and pretend that punishment is policy thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

We moved in the Senate for the Albanese government to withdraw the invitation to Israel’s President Herzog to visit Australia. He has literally signed bombs used in the genocide in Gaza. Labor, the Liberals and One Nation joined together to vote it down. That tells you everything

Don't want Herzog to visit Australia? Neither do we. Tune into the Senate at 12.30pm

JPMorgan has been named in the BankTrack report as one of the largest financial lenders/underwriters of new fossil fuel projects since the UN Paris treaty. If hideous billionaires are keen to cook all the kids' futures to ashes, then why would they have moral qualms about Epstein's island?

Well this is just fucking great

"Right-wing lobby group Advance collected $655,000 from members of secretive Christian sect the Exclusive Brethren'" "Other top donors to Advance included ...businessman Rod Tunley ($246,500), David Steele ($226,500) ..."

ICYMI: AI security startup CEO posts a job. Deepfake candidate applies, inner turmoil ensues.

"In north-west Victoria, Mildura experienced just six individual days above 45°C between 1946 and 2000. This month there have been four already, and today another 45°C day is expected." Welcome to The Future, kids.

Labor has invited the head of the country that is still doing this to millions of occupied people for a state visit - it’s hard to believe really.

ICYMI: Autonomous cars, drones cheerfully obey prompt injection by road sign

Albo's comment that "respect" is due to genocide enthusiast Herzog goes beyond self-parody to sick farce. If only the Australian PM would show some respect for international law, and the human rights of Palestinians that the Israeli president so gleefully violates. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

Underwhelming public responses in the wake of the alleged attack on an Invasion Day rally in Perth leave First Nations people across Australia feeling their "pain matters less".

'Globalise the hegemony!' You know which. Except wait up; are we still allowed to say that?

"—it is even more chilling to think that, in the near future, an article like this one which discusses genocide conducted by one state against defenceless civilians may be in violation of recently-passed hate laws in Australia, resulting in censorship and sanctions." johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...

Should Australia rethink its alliance with the United States? Spoiler alert - yes! www.sbs.com.au/news/podcast...

“Drawing Hind in the sand means saying this: the truth will return...” Hind Rajab’s mother, Wesam Hamada, delivered a powerful message on the 2nd anniversary of her daughter's killing as @avaaz.org unveiled a 100m² portrait of Hind in Barcelona: Free Gaza’s Children.

The Albanese Government has overseen a massive increase in investment in Palantir by the Future Fund since the genocide in Gaza began (and was facilitated by companies like Palantir)
