This is obscene. The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds. While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.

Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people. conchoobserver.com/2025/09/19/a...

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.

#Famine in Gaza City can be stopped. Reverse the ongoing catastrophe - flood #Gaza with a massive scale up of aid through the United Nations. UNRWA’s warehouses alone in Jordan and Egypt are full. There is enough food, medicines and hygiene supplies ready to fill 6,000 trucks. Let us bring aid.

You get arrested at 2:30, missing the 3:15 pick up time at your kid's school. You bail yourself at 6pm but by then, the school has called child services. You miss work trying to find your kid and lose your job. You're $50 late on rent w/o that shift. Your whole life gone bc of a couple hours in jail

Zichro L'MAAPACHA May his memory be for the revolution ❤️‍🔥 The activist & writer Awdah Hathaleen-- who worked on the film NO OTHER LAND, & brought so many Jews, Israelis & others to Umm Al-Khair to teach abt the realities of settler violence, was murdered by a West Bank settler w/terrorist record. +

Facts about #Gaza: 🚨 Food is running out 🚨 Those seeking it risk being shot. 🚨 Field hospitals receive dead bodies 🚨 Starvation rates among children hit their highest levels in June. UN Security Council briefing by Tom Fletcher, unocha.org #CeasefireNow

A transgender girl housed in a male unit of a Washington, D.C., juvenile detention center has been hospitalized after sustaining multiple injuries, including a broken jaw, officials say.

So what happened in libraries nationwide during Pride last month? Two library workers were fired over book displays, several drag story hours saw protests, and most glaringly, there was FAR LESS programming for Pride than in any recent memory. That + censorship news. bookriot.com/pride-in-lib...

We are seeing carnage in #Gaza. Hunger is being weaponised. Forced displacement has become a death sentence. People are desperate to survive. This crisis is man-made. It is fully preventable. This must end.

This is terrible. Regional art galleries are so important

Older persons in #Gaza are silently waiting to die from: 💔 Chronic health conditions 💔 Loss of caregivers 💔 Limited mobility 💔 Lack of access to aid These deaths are preventable. A permanent #ceasefire and full humanitarian access are urgently needed.

MEDIA RELEASE: Israel’s ongoing attacks on starving Gazans “As Jews, we cannot watch Palestinians starved, concentrated into zones to be shot with impunity, and not remember our own history. The Australian government must urgently act.”

The IDF aimed tank shells and heavy artillery at a defenceless crowd of civilians waiting for food aid.

BREAKING: An Israeli airstrike on a school-turned-shelter has killed at least 25 Palestinians, mostly women and children, Gaza's Health Ministry said. The school was hit three times while people slept, setting their belongings ablaze, they added.

The Israeli army is besieging yet another hospital in north Gaza, following the same playbook it has used throughout the war to invade and destroy Gaza's hospitals. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/what...

“Humanitarian assistance is being weaponised to serve and support political and military objectives” says UNRWA Commissioner-General at #EHF2025 The humanitarian community in #Gaza, including UNRWA, is ready to scale up the delivery of critical supplies and services. Let us do our jobs.

"UN warns 14,000 babies could die in Gaza in next 48 hours without aid" When exactly are the international community going to do more than wring hands and make sad faces? Israel is violating international norms and rules of war. It is indiscriminately targeting civilians inc a million children

BREAKING via NBC: The Trump administration is actively working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, according to five sources with direct knowledge. The U.S. State Department and National Security Council refused to comment.

The Israeli government’s closure of six UNRWA schools in Jerusalem has left over 800 Palestinian students without school, and has thrown an entire community into limbo. Residents say it's all part of a larger attack on Palestinian refugees. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/isra... #Palestine #Israel

The choice we make- my #Gaza cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Am sure our govt has made a strong statement condemning this, right? Right?! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

“I waited somewhere outside my body as they scanned my documents. I tried to look un-Palestinian, to mimic their slack, entitled stance as I leaned on one leg, hip cocked. I passed through.”

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Israel’s escalating campaign of demolishing Palestinian homes in the West Bank is the other side of the coin of seizing Palestinian land for settlement expansion. The objective is to force Palestinians to silently leave.

Israel is carving the West Bank in two. With its “Iron Wall” offensive and $91M settler road plan, Israel is laying the groundwork for full annexation—killing any hope for a Palestinian state. All part of Israel's colonial plan. mondoweiss.net/2025/04/isra...

Louis Theroux's documentary, The Settlers, is showing on BBC TV #Gaza

Again punishing migrants who have worked hard and paid taxes all their lives and are Australian citizens who just want to spend time with their families and elderly parents in their country of origin while they still can.

I can confirm if Dutton is PM, a Coalition Government will cut the refugee and humanitarian intake by 40% from 20,000 places to just 12,000 per annum. This would mark Australia’s lowest humanitarian intake since 2000. Since then the number of refugees globally has grown over 300%.

George Christensen talks up how much he likes Dutton in this cooker interview. Says he thinks Dutton’s views are much more like Christensen & the cooker’s but that he’s being constrained by Turnbullite “traitor” moderates. Christensen is working for foreign extremist “hate group.” #auspol

"In less than ten days the closure orders issued by Israeli officials for six UNRWA schools in #EastJerusalem will enter into force, risking the #RightToEducation of some 800 boys and girls. These orders violate Israel's obligations under international law”. — UNRWA Roland Friedrich

Racist and discriminatory and without any legal basis.

​’Peter Dutton cannot claim to stand against antisemitism while giving cover to neo-Nazis and aligning himself with racists. If he truly cared about Jewish safety, he wouldn’t be doing preference deals with One Nation and repeating lines that embolden the far right.’ — Sarah Schwartz, Jewish Council

He’s a weak leader who never appears on media where he’s not going to get a foot rub. And he has been utterly found out in the past month
