At least 12 Syrians killed in Israeli attacks after two unarmed Palestinians murdered in occupied West Bank's Jenin.

The myth of that a bunch of young hackers can solve any problem was debunked by DOGE. But the larger moral stain is that this was a heist. Cost saving was a cover story to shutdown investigations into Elon’s companies, steal government data and engage in genocide by proxy via killing USAID.

Kerry O’Brien sounds the alarm for Australian media in thunderous Walkleys address | Weekly Beast

Israeli soldiers on Thursday appeared to kill a pair of Palestinian men in the occupied West Bank after they had surrendered to troops, drawing Palestinian accusations that the men were executed “in cold blood.” The Israeli military said it was investigating. https://to.pbs.org/4pbKwsi

A good example of why @australiainstitute.org.au has started @thepointau.bsky.social: Not news, but it should be

Israeli group B’Tselem notes that, since a supposed “ceasefire” in Gaza, Israel has: * killed 345 Palestinians, * denied food to 70% of the population who need it, * demolished a further 1,500 buildings. All of this is in blatant violation of the agreement.

Maybe the next generation will set its sights on solving systemic problems instead of “My burrito is at a restaurant, but I’m all cozy here so, can a guy with a medical degree from another country bring it to me.” We’ve got that covered, and then some.

The Federal Government has been trying to rush through a change that would allow police and the Home Affairs Minister to cancel someone’s Centrelink payment if they are suspected of a serious crime. Read the full story on The Point: thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

on this logic all the alleged rapists could be sacked without notice. So as to you know cut off their income based on “serious” allegations. Oddly nobody is proposing that employed rapists be punished without a guilty plea or guilty verdict. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

I asked the Prime Minister to allow Labor MPs a free vote on banning gambling advertising. His response? The same old guff to sidestep the uncomfortable reality that he’s the one holding this reform back #auspol #politas

Thank me. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Another day of the Anthony Albanese Disappointment Advent Calendar

This story should be covered waaaaayy more than it is. The US has sanctioned six judges if the international criminal court ICC, because Trump didn’t like them issuing arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant. www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

116 legal and policy experts have now opposed Labor’s new powers for police to recommend cutting payments from people without them even having been convicted of a crime. Cops shouldn’t be anywhere near welfare law and Labor should withdraw this amendment. www.theaustralian.com.au/nation/treat...

BREAKING: At least four Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza this morning, hospital sources told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/mj3j3z

So ... a dangerous abuser accuses his partner or ex-partner of a violent crime (this is common) & get the cops to charge her, usual delays until it's dropped/heard and now the govt will cut off the accused's entitlements, making her - & her children - wholly dependent on her abuser? Get out of it.

Another Labor obscenity.

Interesting, now we can see where the accounts are based.

Francesca Albanese tells the world there has not been a single day of ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza 🇵🇸: ‘There is no ceasefire for Palestinians 🇵🇸’ ‘Ceasefire’ is a word for people to remain indifferent to the suffering’ ‘We won’t let them remain in their comfort zone’ Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Israel Moved Gaza’s Yellow Line And Then Shelled Palestinians For Being On The Wrong Side They just keep finding new ways to carve off more pieces of Gaza and murder more Palestinians. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/israel-mov...

Who would think that at this point in Australia’s economic transition we should be spending more, not less, on research and development… Imagine if we taxed the gas industry and pant more on R&D…crazy talk … #cliamte thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Physicians for Human Rights-Israel reveals torture, abuse carried out against Palestinians held in Israeli prisons.

Where to start, with a statement like this? "Tim Ayres said the cuts were aimed at refocusing … CSIRO towards research priorities, such as critical minerals, iron & steel production in Australia." From some rando down the bus stop, one would brush it off. But this is from our Science Minister 🤯

Can’t wait to find out

Video shows Palestinian children in Gaza using inoperative power lines as a swing. Israel has cut off electricity to the enclave since the beginning of its genocidal war.

Sabotaging & smashing our biggest & best science & research organisations is exactly what our worst enemy would do. Why can't we have a govt which creates hope, creativity & cleverness & a better future instead of a festival of fossil fuel and Trump toadying? Boo. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

So many of the people who demand we look up to and respect them are so shit. Like, really shit. Shit liars, shit at their jobs, shit at being basically decent humans. The establishment has had it too good for too long, as a Tory might say. #AusPol

Surveillance video shows a group of Israeli settlers as they attacked and set fire to a Palestinian home in the village of al-Jaba in the Bethlehem area of the occupied West Bank.

New attacks near Bethlehem and Hebron underscore intensifying Israeli violence in occupied Palestinian territory.

The cost. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Because he can’t rein in spending on AUKUS

A smart govt - or even one with a PM who had a desire to do anything - would be using the LNP rabble to put in place every fucking thing they wanted. Problem is Albanese doesn’t seem to want anything other than power.

Close the salmon farms. Save the rock lobsters.

Wouldn’t it be good if there was some kind of environment legislation that could stop this sort of thing from happening

Lobster fishery off Bruny Island in TAS closed on eve of the opening of fishing season due to antibiotic use by the salmon farms. No indication of how long for. Must be a devastating blow for fishermen approaching Xmas.

Israeli air raids have taken place in southern Gaza as well as Gaza City.

THEN YOU PURCHASE THEM AND DO NOT USE THE PROPERTY OF OTHERS

It’s not just about what you remove (cars, noise, dirty air). It’s about what you add (people walking, a lot of bike parking, trees, outdoor dining, and room for kids to play safely). Amsterdam: 1986 and today. Streets for people. HT @hackneycyclist.bsky.social for the great before-and-after

Huh... Weird!

Australia Institute research shows the gas industry pays ZERO royalties on more than half the gas exported from Australia. "Other people in the rest of the world are making a fortune out of Australia's gas exports.... Australia is getting taken for a ride." @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Unless our elected representatives are keen to welcome a time when we consider replacing them with artificial intelligence, they might like to take a moment to rethink this approach to the human expertise that governments employ. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

We talk about "Australia's gas" and "our exports" but when it's a Japanese company not paying any royalties, no PRRT, exporting to Japan and then onto other countries... is it really "Australian gas"? thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

I wrote a piece for @deepcutnews about how the media sees some genocides as more important than others www.deepcutnews.com/p/the-age-ca...

This 🧵. So many testimonies, so much evidence about systematic torture and brutality by Israel against Palestinian detainees. Including from Israeli and international human rights groups. Yet western media largely ignores this, and goes with "The Israeli government says..."
