Just noticed the Australian Banking Assocn is on the list of business leaders “demanding” a #Bondi Royal Commission. It didn’t even allow all the recommendations of the Banking Royal Commission. They’ve politicised these deaths and should be ashamed. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02...

Why has the ABC declined to report on the Israeli government producing a hit-list of Australians they have declared antisemites? These people, whose greatest crime is wanting an end to the genocide Israel is conducting in Gaza now have a target on their backs. Shameful lack of integrity .

"I'm a proud Muslim, coloured boy from Pakistan, who was told that he would never play for the Australian cricket team. Look at me now. And you can do the same." What a legend. Thank you, Usman.

So much mainstream media reporting on this outrageous aid ban platform the Israeli regime's lies, but not their intent: To ensure a more efficient genocide. And to get rid of witnesses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYo6...

Uhoh just discovered an anachronism in a pretentious, highly celebrated novel and now I can't read it anymore.

In 2026, I’m working for a world where we: ✅ Elect community-first leaders ✅ Trust science & expertise ✅ Support public interest journalism ✅ Lead with empathy & kindness ✅ Put integrity at the heart of govt decision making No one is coming to save us but us 🙌🙌 #auspol

Whether it’s the US, Australia or anywhere else, our 2026 resolution should be to support progressive independent journalism more. Increasingly, that is where we’ll find quality, integrity and truth.

But not my foreign minister. How about it, Penny Wong?

I've just checked all of our msm and not one has mentioned Israel's list of "Antisemites." Yet. Nor has Albo. Let's not let this rest. Let's not pretend this is ok and ignore it.

Never forget this: The forces undermining our democracy, rigging our economy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. We must keep fighting in 2026 and beyond.

Calls to strip pro-democracy activist Alaa Abd el-Fattah of his British citizenship pile torment on top of torture. New piece by me on a dangerous and manufactured storm: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

How did one woman take on the brutal colonial King Leopold II in Congo with her camera? Who was Alice Seely Harris and why should we remember her name? How did she smuggle her photographs of the horrors going on in the Congo out of the country? linktr.ee/empirepoduk

I’m no fan of Susli, but for eg suggesting Omar Sakr or Antony Lowenstein are antisemite for eg is truly dangerous stuff.

I became wild with rage in my car listening to an ABC News grab in which a university expert on counterterrorism said it’s a good thing that cops now get to roam the streets wielding long guns, & indeed that if cops had had them in Bondi, the would-be shooters would’ve just turned tail in fear

Saved lives *and* screwed Sky News? Put down your glasses, we have found the Australian of the Year

Israel names "radical left-wing politicians and anti-Zionist influencers". In fact, they have the courage to oppose genocide. A PM with a spine would denounce this as foreign interference. He'd be clear that toxic efforts to conflate antisemitism with criticism of Israel frays social cohesion.

Just watched Strange Journey: The Story of Rocky Horror on SBS On Demand. The story of how a tidal wave of antipodean talent swamped the English-speaking world, especially the US. The film version of The Rocky Horror Show has been running there for 50 years.

Breaking: Israel has now banned DOZENS of humanitarian aid groups, incl. Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Oxfam, CARE Int'l and Caritas, from working in Gaza. Will the Australian Govt say or do anything? #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide aje.io/opuwhf

More accurate headline: "Israel to ban dozens of aid agencies in an extension of its #GazaGenocide, and to assist its ethnic cleansing plan." And a reminder that Anthony Albanese has invited the President of this cruel rogue regime for a state visit. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Unlike most mere mortals, apparently I spent 889 days on Bluesky this year. Is this why I feel so tired?

Richter KC, a human rights campaigner who is a fierce critic of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, says he does not deny the existence or seriousness of antisemitism. But he argues that a RC — particularly one framed around defining antisemitism — is both premature and dangerous.

While the media continues to whip up a frenzy over a royal commission into the Bondi attack, the chief of staff to Chris Minns fought a summons to appear to a NSW Parliamentary Inquiry to answer questions about the Dural carvan hoax -- and won. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... Great piece by Glen Berman:

When our mainstream news media reports on Australia's close friendship with Israel, they don't mention that in 2010 Israel forged Australian passports so Mossad agents could assassinate Palestinians in Dubai. Israel has zero respect for Australia. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism

Labor is simultaneously talking about letting CSG, a Zionist security org with close links to the IDF, carry heavy firearms at events in Australia, and also Australians can't protest anymore... What does that feel like?? Seriously?? Anyone that isn't batshit psycho ok with this?

We can create the Society we want #auspol #australia

I'm now getting these ads in my FB feed. Do they know I'm pro-Palestine? I expect we'll see a major push by mainstream media "celebrating Judaism" (in order to push a pro-Israel, anti-Palestine narrative). Don't stop talking about Israel's crimes. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine

We should be deeply alarmed that the Premier is talking about permanently arming the “Community Security Group”, a Mossad-linked Zionist organisation that runs paramilitary training camps in Israel. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
