“Was it you who issued the edict to foment violence or someone else in the chain of command? After 5 hours in a police cell with no offer of water or medical attention for my various injuries I was released without charge - I’m a 76 year old filmmaker & journalist,“ #Auspol

If you protest a state, any state, in a way that challenges it fundamentally and is starting to be effective, it will brutalise you. That's the point of having a monopoly of violence. #auspol

ALP set their dogs, the cowardly thugs in NSW police, on to peaceful protesters in service of genocide. There is no longer any excuse for being in that party, voting for that party, funding that party. The time for changing things from the inside has passed. #auspol #labor

Israel is no longer living in the shadow of the third reich as they too have industrialised the mass murder of captives. Australian gov's complicity is unforgivable. #auspol

Classic corporate press: "clashes turn increasingly violent" when it's clearly "police attack peaceful protesters". We can see the video.

There are plenty of us in Australia who are against genocide. And the state is getting angry.

I've been accused of being a conspiracist in the past but what turned out to be true is so much more extreme than i could imagine.

The Australian government has already shown they won't be shamed into breaking up with the US and Israel and won't be persuaded by arguments or the popular position. They will only respond to power. #auspol

Great example of bad data journalism. No total numbers of injuries, no comparison with other "dangerous" activities and no relative injury rate. just a very unsurprising stat that e-scooter injuries doubled at a time when usage boomed. Wait til they hear about cars.

One of the problems with terrorist laws is that they get applied in an obviously racist way (ie not against white people). The solution is to get rid of terror laws not to try to apply them in a non-racist way. #Auspol

Just finished Copaganda by @equalityalec.bsky.social . Excellent resource for anyone trying to understand the punishment bureaucracy and political dynamic that keeps expanding it.

The "worst terrorist attack in our history" line is deeply problematic. Not coincidental that the supporters of zionism are also deniers of white colonial violence.

www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01... South Australian Labor Premier thinks bondi attack is the worst race base terrorist attack since federation. Pretending all the massacres of Aboriginal people last century didn't happen. Like most ALP politicians he's a white supremacist. #auspol

Police are deadly (not just ICE in the US). Time to take them off the streets and stop using them as a mental health response. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

With calls for a royal commission in Australia I looked up the list of previous commissions. One was looking into a ship captain who drank too much and was shit at their job. #auspol en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of...

SUVs and big Utes "are 44 per cent more likely to kill an adult pedestrian or cyclist in a crash compared with a sedan, and 82 per cent more likely to kill a child" www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

The thing we should take away from Trump's FIFA award is that awards - all of them - are cringe and we should stop with both the giving and receiving.

A truck driver hit and killed a bike rider instead of giving way. The media response is to blame the bike rider and report government statements without context or criticism. Irresponsible journalism in service of more stupid laws. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It is very rare that we have a deep debate in any media setting where prominent pro-police advocates are forced to defend their views. I tried my best in this fascinating and contentious argument to hold those views up to scrutiny. open.spotify.com/episode/5zV5...

It costs over a million per year for a child to be in prison. And children's prisons are harmful for staff and children yet Jacinta Allan wants to lock up more children for longer. Tell me again how ALP is better than LNP? #auspol

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... ABC whipping up fear of crime and consent for an increasingly authoritarian state. They don't tell you that crime levels have only risen against the historic low record during COVID. #auspol

www.deepcutnews.com/p/australian... of those with an opinion, 3/4 want to end 2 way arms trade with israel. Less than 20% oppose it. It's popular and the moral option. If only we had a govt interested in the will of the people.

@latingle.bsky.social continues to fail in her job with another weirdly ahistoric article that is either extremely naive or straight up propaganda. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... #auspol

@chess.com should ban players from countries doing a genocide. Like Israel. Ban Israeli's. I'm sick of seeing their genocidal ethnostate flag on the platform.

Australian institutions are run by cowards and fascists. Including the Children's hospital in Melbourne. What an embarrassment to the health profession. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol

They are falling over themselves about kirks murder because it threatens the current political project of the US and they are dedicated to protecting the current US regime no matter what it is or what else they say and the sooner u learn it the less confused you'll be about who your real friends are

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... Laura Tingle continues to trash her reputation with another article exposing her geopolitical ignorance and bias.

The problem with the Australian Labor Party is that their strategy has become their ideology. Campaigning for middle Australia to get power to do good things inevitably became middle Australia is a good thing which became Centrism is the path.

www.theguardian.com/law/commenti... not sure how you can write about Australia's human rights hypocrisy without mentioning it's close ties to US and Israel - a much more glaring example than ex-pollies visiting China. #auspol

Paul Laverty, Ken Loach's long-time screenwriter, is charged with a terrorism offence for wearing a T-shirt opposing Israel's genocide. The UK slips ever deeper into authoritarianism to protect the West's client state in the oil-rich Middle East: archive.ph/ol0PK

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08... when Albanese's statements are treated as fact despite his track record of dishonesty in service of US/Israel then you are just doing propaganda. Where's the evidence? If it isn't shared you should assume it doesn't exist #auspol

aje.io/e7r7sb Another distraction? Given Albanese is still lying about 2 way arms trade with Israel, should we believe this? It might be true but it is very convenient and the timing (massive protests on the weekend against Israel) is also suspicious. #auspol #expelalbanese

WATCH & SHARE: This is very good. A prominent youtuber is actually giddy (but also very thorough in covering the joys, advantages, issues and challenges) about how trying biking for transportation in London has changed his life. Easy to watch & more convincing probably than 99% of public campaigns.

Massive crowds gathered in Naarm for a free Palestine

If you keep being disappointed by your leaders, there should be a point where you question the whole system. A popularity contest funded by oligarchs is a grift not democracy but even a fair popularity contest seems a silly way to run the country.

Here's me. "Two states of bullshit"

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-08... this "analysis" is embarrassing. Claiming that Wong and Albanese have brought the public along rather than being dragged kicking and screaming to recognise Palestine Is something you could only cook up in a canberra bubble. #auspol

In the face of a genocide, the moral and legal test is, are you doing everything you can to stop it? Today’s announcement by Labor fails that test.

One of the surprises of late stage capitalism is people paying subscriptions to be surveilled and propagandised. We love big brother enough to pay for it.

All famines are political. They're choices made by some humans to inflict the worst death on others. There may be a bad harvest or drought but there's food nearby and means to bring it. In the 40 years leading up to WWI England starved 100 million Indias to death.

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Aust media (when it does cover protests) frames it as asking government *to do more*. This is not true. The ask is to end complicity the "do more" framing is propaganda. #auspol
