Sensible? My @smh @theage cartoon.

I’ve heard Mozart’s mum took Paracetamol when pregnant.

#Robodebt The NACC earlier this month amended the contract of Geoff Nettle. It upped the contract value by $490K bringing the total value to $1.138M

And another from me. 🖕

Despite wacko coverage in the press, Opposition & Zio Lobby hyperventilating, and US threats, Palestine recognition and Penny Wong's aid worker declaration are good steps. Now sanctions are the go #auspol michaelwest.com.au/right-move-b...

Just in! On Wednesday the Federal Court will determine whether or not the ABC should pay a pecuniary penalty over its firing of Antoinette Lattouf Judgment will be delivered at 10.15 am

Then they came for the talk show hosts and I was like yeah whatever... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Ironically running under a topic banner of “leadership”… They need new banners: “cowards” “liars” “would sell out country for personal benefit”

If the AFP is found to have engaged in the illegal kidnapping of an alleged gangland boss and he walks because of it, careers need to end. Regardless of how senior.

Australian Labor recognises the State of Palestine but won’t sanction Israel or stop supply of weapons parts Australian Labor recognises the devastating effects of climate change but keeps approving massive fossil fuel projects and won’t tax the industry sufficiently Sensing a pattern here..

If Penny Wong is serious about the Australian govt wanting to *do something* to stop the #GazaGenocide, Francesca Albanese provided a handy list a couple of months ago. #auspol

Interesting contract.

Recognition of Palestine is Not Enough, Sanctions Must Follow to Stop the Genocide. Read our full statement on Australian recognition of Palestine at: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/09/jewi...

The sort of company that appoints a "seriously corrupt" politician is the sort of company that will have rolling disasters and mass governance and ethical failures. Pretty simple. (ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/optus-boss-r...

“It is not FOI that inhibits frank & fearless advice; far more important is the fact that unwelcome advice can attract career penalties & welcome advice can attract career rewards. Look at Robodebt again.” #Auspol #transparency #FOI #APSculture

This is all very well, but immediate sanctions and a condemnation of the genocide Israel *is currently committing* would go a lot further

I see they're taking it well stateside.

At-Fucking-Last👊💜🇵🇸🍉 Now for action! Stop the genocide by Netanyahu’s IDF, backed by Zionist’s worldwide… 1/

I conducted an experiment on what Tiktok and YouTube recommends when not logged in on the app. Given the social media ban only covers accounts, hard not to see this could be the experience for teens in Australia come December. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

Formal recognition of the state of Palestine overnight is a welcome step but we must also listen to the experts outlining what further steps Australia & other nations must take to prevent the ongoing genocide in Gaza. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

Good but stop selling parts to Israel, expel their ambassador and do something quickly. Palestinians don't have the luxury of waiting for white men in suits to decide their fate.

“Even the subheading fails to mention Israel. “𝘈 𝘣𝘰𝘮𝘣𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘺, as if some unknown entity is carpet bombing Gaza and erasing its history. Add destruction of cultural heritage to the endless list of Israel’s war crimes.”

The cancellation of visas for Palestinian officials is part of a a wider effort by Israel and the U.S. to prevent international recognition of a Palestinian state, and to further Trump's grandiose plans for Gaza and Israel's plans for the West Bank.

I am <this close> to being unabolitionist when it comes to overpaid executives whose decisions kill vulnerable people. Then I remember poverty and centrelink are punishing and punishment by design and figure welp asset forfeiture, lifetime bans, and the centrelink queue until we fix income support.

right??? This was the main grounds for ICC warrants which from my perspective means we (humanity) know how horrific are these acts yet are apparently incapable of organising societies that stop or prevent its repetition, generation after generation.

Amnesty names 15 companies One is Lockheed & its F-35, which 70+ Australian companies supply Another is Boeing. Australian Dr Brendan Nelson runs Boeing Global from London. He is also a member of Boeing Company’s executive council. (He was formerly a medical doctor) www.boeing.com/company/key-...

Second deadliest attack on journalists in history, and I haven’t seen it reported by any of Australia’s biggest media outlets

Here's Ted Deutch meeting with Richard Marles in Marles' Canberra office in early Sept.....

#AUKUS is under US Govt review, but analysis indicates US shipyards can’t deliver Virginia class subs even if the project continues. Yet #FOI reveals the Chief of Navy hasn’t been briefed on potential outcomes of the US review and the Defence Department has no plan B. 🤷‍♂️ 1/2 #exposed #auspol

Google is allowing the State of Israel to “sponsor” top search results for the Sumud Flotilla with false and absurd accusations they are “harboring terror.” Tehran Tadhg: They're manufacturing consent to murder us. I can't be sure Western media won't give it to them.

"The People Vs Robodebt" explores the devastating human story behind one of Australia's greatest political scandals. The 3-part docu-drama series will be avail to stream on #SBSOnDemand on Wed 24Sept25. #auspol #Robodebt Trailer: youtu.be/5LzL7WpswH4?...

The #SundayShot is back this week with guest co-host @boganintel.bsky.social & me plus a panel of @declassifiedaus.bsky.social's Kellie Tranter & @australiainstitute.org.au 's Mark Ogge on Gaza, Climate & the dismantling of American democracy. Show us you missed us and tune it on Sunday 9am AEST.

It’s time we held that Murdoch/Media Royal Commission that more than 500,000 people petitioned for. #auspol

remember when newscorp decided climate science was real? it actually happened in october 2021… and didn't last a week. 👇 this is disgraceful

This is the slippery slope Australia is quickly careening down. Internet restrictions & censorship. FOI requests inaccessibility. ‘Drops’ censoring parliamentary journalists. Restrictive protest laws. We have a real time example of where this can end up if we don’t object now… #AusPol

If you asked me if a Sydney cardiologist would end up “off work” & vilified by St Vincent’s for stating his view at a public meeting that #mossad was involved in #antisemitism incidents, I’d have said ‘no’ - when I investigated, I found it was true! michaelwest.com.au/antisemitism...

Deutch's trip to Australia was a guest of AIJAC (Mark Leibler - Nat Chairman). Deutch let slip that when Marles went to the US last month for the non-meeting with Hegseth that Marles met with Rubio to discuss antisemitism and Palestine as well as presumably other matters.

The American Jewish Committee wrote to Wong earlier this month....looks like they even came to Canberra to lobby.

regular reminder that politicians keep giving police more power to control women and children whose lives are in danger while cops remain the worst possible people to be given this power and all the resources that comes with it. bsky.app/profile/jacq...

The US Republicans letter to Albanese et al re: Palestinian recognition.....final paragraph threatens possible undisclosed punitive measures.

When politicians have spent their entire life in politics, in a political cult, they believe their own bullsh*t…and, alarmingly…seek to eliminate any source of potential criticism. Albanese is a prime example #auspol 🔔🔔🔔🚨 👇
