Israel has ranked lowest in the Nation Brands Index. Again. Australia's own reputation would improve if we actively opposed Israel's crimes with sanctions (rather than selling them arms). Long-term: it'd benefit Israel, Palestine, Lebanon too. It'd benefit our trade & tourism #auspol #SanctionIsrael

A 2025 RMIT PlaceLab report confirmed that artists are among Australia’s lowest-paid workers despite high levels of education, relying on multiple casual or non-art jobs to sustain their practice. satpa.pe/oXgGIUh

“We will not let Japan down”, promised the Australian Govt last year in Nagoya. And it hasn’t! It’s introduced a prospective gas reservation policy that instead lets Aussie families and businesses down. No electricity price relief. Total betrayal! #auspol

The Australian Government makes more money from HECS repayments than it does from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. Read more here: https://australiainstitute.org.au/post/in-2023-24-australians-paid-more-than-4-times-on-hecs-help-than-gas-companies-did-on-prrt/

Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is a prominent Palestinian pediatrician and the former director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza who has been arbitrarily detained by Israeli forces since 27Dec2024, and held w/o charge now for a year. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

It’s bizzare that the Chief Executive of the SA Department for Energy and Mining has not received any briefs on the stabilisation of the Whyalla Steelworks. It’s extraordinary that they ‘ordered’ me not to publish 👇this letter👇. #saparli

Call for citizen scientists to monitor threatened turtle species on NSW beaches

Superb @nswsocialists.bsky.social video explains: In NSW, the Chris Minns Labor Govt has done a deal with the Liberals, changing workers' compensation rights, increasing the threshold for "permanent impairment" from 15% to 25% for psychological injury! A Labor Govt did this. 😠 #nswpol #WorkersRights

Dr Assal Rad spoke to AJ+’s Dena Takruri about how Western media’s framing of the so-called ceasefire in Gaza reflects its skewed view of Palestinians.

A whistle-blower has revealed that BBC presenters are under editorial instruction to protect Israel's reputation. I wonder if, here in Australia, presenters on our ABC have similar editorial instructions from senior management. 🤔 #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #JournalismMatters

Sussan Ley: I’m going to give the most opportunistic, unhinged press conference to try and get political gain from the tragedy that is the Bondi shooting. I’m even going to Criticise Penny Wong for not crying enough. Michael McCormack: most unhinged? Hold my beer.

Palestinian Christians just released Kairos II, a powerful new document calling Zionism "a theology of racism and ethnic supremacy" that has produced genocide. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/what...

"US carries out airstrikes against Islamic State ‘terrorist scum’ in Nigeria" Nigeria. Hmm. I'm thinking Nigeria has huge under-exploited deposits of natural resources like coal, gold, iron ore, bauxite, lead, zinc ... tin ... maybe still has some oil ...

Trying to confuse/conflate "Jews" with Zionists/Israelis/Israel is a vile effort to discredit anti-Zionism/Palestine advocacy.

Where are we headed? Its astonishing to see a law like this in Australia. The sooner this is challenged in court, the better. Otherwise the Zionist lobby will just keep demanding more. You can never appease authoritarianism. Its a bottomless pit of control. #Auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

In thinking about what you can do this year, keep this in mind: showing up at protests has real impact - - www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Israel has not allowed the agreed-upon number of medical aid trucks into Gaza under October’s ceasefire deal, and has yet to give approval to thousands of people on waiting lists to receive treatment elsewhere.

Israel's "ceasefire" • 875 violations • 411 Palestinians killed • 265 incidents of shooting at civilians • 49 raids into residential areas • 421 cases of bombing and shelling • 150 demolitions of civilian property • 43 Palestinians from Gaza detained • humanitarian aid still blocked #FreePalestine

Zionists are upset that cosmetics retailer Lush is donating the proceeds from their watermelon soap to help amputee children in Gaza! Zionists are protesting a company for providing support to amputee children! Shop in-store or online at www.lush.com/au/en #IsraeliTerrorism #FreePalestine

Trump’s vanity battleships may well be another fantasy. But even a false start will divert scarce shipbuilding resources and further erode chances of US improving Virginia-class sub build rate to allow transfers to Aust. #AUKUS looking even worse. #auspol

Zionists are angry bc British cosmetics retailer Lush is donating the proceeds from their watermelon soap to help amputee children in Gaza. Zionists are protesting a company for providing support to Palestinian amputee children. #IsraeliTerrorism #Zionism ≠ #Judaism #FreePalestine

Here’s an idea for the PM: try to understand that the vast majority of Australians don’t like ANY extreme violence against civilians - whether at Bondi or in Gaza - and have the right to say so.

When do you think Albanese will realise there’s no placating these people? News Corp pays no tax and adds nothing to Aus society apart from hate, but Labor acts as if it owns them. Instead of fighting back or standing up for themselves, Albanese and co are like “please sir can I have some more?”

Incredibly moving interview with Sydney philosophy professor Peter Slezak, son of Holocaust survivors. “Recognising Palestine was the right thing to do - in fact it was long overdue. How on earth can that be connected to two mass murders who commit an atrocity?”

At least 17 Palestinians were killed when damaged homes collapsed on them during winter storms in Gaza. Five children also died from hypothermia in makeshift tents. Israel continues to block the entry of reconstruction materials and emergency shelters. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

"The world I am about to leave has changed for the worse," writes Barry Jones. "Facts, figures, evidence, testable proposition and rational debate no longer count. Liberal democracy is in sharp decline." satpa.pe/6BJxGnI

In December 2023, Isaac Herzog was pictured signing bombs to be dropped on the men, women & children including babies of Gaza. In December 2025, the prime minister of Australia @albomp.bsky.social invited Isaac Herzog to visit with him in Australia. There is no saving @australianlabor.bsky.social.

“Babies Are Freezing to Death in Gaza. Israeli Policy and the World’s Inaction Are to Blame”

The reports coming out of the USA of people, incl. children, being disappeared by ICE is like something out of "The Handmaid's Tale". US TV news now regularly run human interest stories of people rescuing the pets left behind when ICE takes someone w/o warning. Trumpian tyranny. #USPolitics

This is the guy who Albo has invited to visit Australia “as soon as possible”.

"Even though we are so rich, our business community remains determined to keep this one of the lowest taxed countries in the world, which makes those of us who rely on public schools, public hospitals and public transport feel poor," writes Richard Denniss. satpa.pe/luxsqE4

Under new registration rules, Israel has barred Save The Children, one of the oldest & best known in Gaza, where it helps around 120,000 children. The impact will be catastrophic on any survivors of Israel's genocide, @albomp.bsky.social. Is this also a "value" you share with Isaac Herzog? #auspol

The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet is using the awful events at Bondi to justify delaying a response to a gambling related #FOI. Really? FOI officials and gaming policy advisors are on the front line of the nation’s terrorism response? Or just shabby opportunism? #auspol

Chris Bowen on #ABC Radio blasts Sussan Ley after she accused Penny Wong of “not shedding a tear” over #Bondi, calling her comments “pretty disgusting.” 💥 “Sussan Ley is not the arbiter of grief or mourning, & she does not get to decide how people express that grief.”

"Israelis complain that its neighbours deny their state’s right to exist, as though they want Israelis killed or obliterated. No, they just think they shouldn’t be there, in Palestine." johnmenadue.com/post/2025/12...

The word you were looking for is ILLEGAL, @australia.theguardian.com. These are ILLEGAL SETTLEMENTS and Israel HAS NO RIGHT to ETHNICALLY CLEANSE and ILLEGALLY OCCUPY PALESTINIAN LANDS. When exactly might we expect to see some TRUTH in your reporting? #auspol #StopIsrael

Dr Assal Rad— "So, they killed a 16-year-old, then got caught lying (again). Imagine how much they lie about that doesn’t get caught on tape."

Francesca Albanese— "It is becoming more and more intense—personal threats, physical threats, the sanctions—it has not silenced me because you cannot silence the truth in the face of a genocide. "It's just a matter of time before this injustice ends, sooner or later, it will not last forever."
