Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's invitation to Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit Australia is simply doing wonders for s0CiAL c0HeSi0n. Just ask ex-Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid.

Happy #SuperbOwl 🦉 Sunday to all who celebrate.

#Feb9Peeps #CommunityFunRun What a great idea !!!! #AusPol 🙏☮️

Palantir fascitis

Antoinette's post reminds me about Amnesty's role: to fight abuses of human rights worldwide, change oppressive laws, and free people jailed just for voicing their opinion. I used to think that was other places. #auspol

Easy to get angry at Segal & Craven for pushing fascism. And we should. But let's recall who's responsible - the spineless PM who: - appointed Segal - pushed through terrible hate speech laws - decided Herzog would be good for 'social cohesion', and - routinely caves in to the Israel lobby. #auspol

#Newspoll The One Nation primary is 27 and the Coalition primary is 18

Just sayin

Herzog has blustered to sympathetic Australian journos about "lies and distortions" on Israel's role in Gaza. He cannot be taken seriously while the Israeli regime continues to ban foreign media. We can only surmise they have something to hide. Like a genocide. www.972mag.com/gaza-foreign...

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

"In the West Bank and Gaza, Israeli soldiers, masked and unmasked, kill, torture and imprison Palestinian doctors, journalists, teachers, activists and scholars not for what they have done – but because of who they are." Will you be raising this with your friend Isaac Herzog, @albomp.bsky.social?

Jesus is mentioned ~1000 times in the Bible Harry is mentioned ~19,000 times in all 7 Harry Potter books Trump is mentioned ~38,000 in the half released heavily redacted Epstein files—actual number is easily 2X or 3X that In Conclusion: •Jesus is the Messiah •Harry is the Wizard •Trump is the PDF

While the Australian government is congratulating itself for attempting to ban under 16s from having social media accounts, this is the sort of nightmare in tech world that they are ignoring.

The PM's "tragic mistake" of inviting genocide enthusiast Herzog to visit is getting global attention. And a US news outlet gives more prominence than most local media to opponents like Chris Sidoti, Palestine Action Group and Jewish Council of Australia. #auspol edition.cnn.com/2026/02/07/a...

"what incrementalist policies actually do is close down that so-called centre space...If you keep making concessions to the right in the name of owning the 'centre', then all you are doing is shifting the centre to the right." @timdunlop.bsky.social #auspol tdunlop.substack.com/p/wake-in-fr...

Survey (Jan 26) from Reichman University, "public trust in the President of the State, Isaac Herzog, continues to decline, reaching a low point of just 31 percent".

ICYMI. The ABC should do much more of this. #auspol

Zionists now appear to be running public policy. Would that statement: - be considered under the Qld law to "cause menace, harassment or offence"? - be "hate speech" under Commonwealth law?

"How is it that Labor’s backbench, among the most powerful institutions in this country in terms of effecting change, lacks so much bravery in speaking up?" Labor policy once emerged from robust factional debates. But such 'creative tension' is discouraged in Albanese's risk-averse world. #auspol

"Every claim that protests must be suppressed, and artists censored or deplatformed, in the name of social cohesion is revealed as utter lies, a cynical and frankly evil ploy to justify maintaining the status quo." @omarsakr.bsky.social #auspol sakr.substack.com/p/labor-is-c...

“Social cohesion has become a ridiculous term - and those who use it in relation to Herzog’s visit really mean silence.” @rachelwithers.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

“In a time of atrocity we have an obligation *not* to be a bystander. And I learned that from Holocaust education. So yes, I’ll be at the protest against Herzog’s visit” @davemilbo.bsky.social #SundayShot #auspol

Mayor Zohran Mamdani drew a hard line. He signed an executive order barring ICE from NYC property — schools, hospitals, shelters, parking lots — without a judicial warrant. Sanctuary protections strengthened. Immigrant rights defended. Federal overreach blocked. NYC stood up.🙌🏽🙌🏽

Just heard a story on ABC with the immortal words, “the same providers who were scamming the NDIS are now scamming veterans.” Incredible. If only there was some way of stopping this. I guess we’ll never know.

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

The American version of Russians falling out of windows.

At a time when the Australian mainstream media is giving a dream run to the racist far-right One Nation, their highly dodgy governance as well as their [lack of] policies are getting almost no scrutiny. #auspol

Pelican being majestic, a couple of days ago. I’m playing at Carrington Bowlo this afternoon, 3pm. I better restring the little 12..it’s currently a 10 string.

"the government, while refusing to tackle tough but needed structural change in challenging areas, tinkers at the edges, thinks short term and grins at its opponent’s apparent collapse, which gives it cover for its own lack of brave reform."🎯 Labor's inaction enables the rise of far-right populism.

The indifferent reaction to the Perth Invasion Day terror attack is stark, compared to the Dural caravan hoax, says @rachelwithers.bsky.social. “A shrug, not a shriek” - @mrdtjames.bsky.social #SundayShot

@davemilbo.bsky.social on the Perth Invasion Day terrorism attack: “You don’t need to go on social media to be radicalised. You can just turn on Channel 7 and get radicalised. There is so much racism in mainstream media.” #SundayShot

The Epstein files have confirmed what the left have been pointing out for years: white supremacist and patriarchal hierarchies built on capitalist exploitation lead to gross inequality and monsters. Billionaires pay millionaires to shape the narrative that trans people and immigrants are the enemy

“For every Australian who says they believe in democracy, human rights, a fair go, free speech, then you simply must protest Herzog’s visit.” - Nasser Mashni Albanese's desperate spin on the genocide enthusiast Israeli president bringing "unity" is just obscene. #SundayShot #auspol

Thanks to Jeff Bezos's sycophancy to Trump, how many Watergate-esque scandals will remain uncovered?

For every time the political and media establishment repeats the big lie that Herzog is visiting at the request of "the Jewish community"....

The cruelty is the point.

"It is ironic that Australia, a country which prides itself on its multiculturalism, has been so willing to overlook the contradictions of an ethno-nationalist state which denies equal citizenship to half of the population it effectively controls." johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

"spare me the half-arsed elite pearl-clutching over Epstein’s crimes and look at what is actually happening. What has anyone in power, at all, done to attack the structures and attitudes that allowed them to happen?" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Mr Albanese added that President Herzog is the equivalent of the Governor-General of Australia." Really, Albo? I'm not aware that Sam Mostyn has ever incited a genocide, signed a bomb, or pushed hasbara on behalf of Australia. www.news.com.au/national/bre...

A fascist regime doesn't need its own state propaganda outlet, when the corporate 'news' media agencies are complicit, and perform that function for it.

There was political interference in Adelaide Festival board decisions. Now there's political interference in exposing the political interference.

Oh there’s an idea, putting responsibility where it actually belongs: perpetrators, not kids

Remember when Albanese pledged "no-one left behind"? He lied. #poverty #inequality #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...
