Yasser Bakri reveals the shocking ordeal a Palestinian Australian student endured when seeking special cons. to grieve family killed by Israel in Gaza— inc forcing her to obtain death certificates for each family member killed. ANU’s Joan Leach insists she doesn’t know. Outrageous.

Is there a secret Centrelink number that doesn’t automatically hang up on you when their lines are busy?

Me on the PM’s speech: wonderful, just completely devoid of any reason why AI or these data centres are needed or will be of benefit.

Josh Keller insists his organisation, 5A, is made up of academics with “widely divergent views” on Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Commissioner: Are you mostly made up of Zionists? Keller “Yes”

“greater clarity and speed for (data centre) approvals, and a streamlined process for verifying compliance” sounds a lot like waving through the worst shit imaginable in return for baubles

Keller, who is pushing new antisemitism reforms on Universities, explains why Anti Zionism without a hyphen, is antisemitic. No I don’t understand what he’s talking about. #auspol

One of the more interesting aspects of this mostly dismal royal commission is how poorly some of the protagonists are faring

All people deserve to be able to pray in peace. Sending solidarity and strength to Samir and all of our muslim comrades who are suffering during this awful surge in anti-Muslim hate. Full article at: www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...

"For all of Segal’s assertions about how the local Jewish community was being conflated with the state of Israel and blamed for Israel’s action, it was her testimony that insisted on the link between them, as if any criticism of Israel’s actions constituted antisemitism" Read to the kicker on this🔥

Comparing adoption of ATMs to AI is nice if Albanese followed through and talked about the collapse of banking services and branches and jobs. He does not.

Reminder with everything going on that One Nation wants to change what family court sees as ‘abuse’ and how it responds to it because Pauline Hanson’s son had to face consequences after he plead guilty to dv related charges

If there's any worth at all to this RC, it's seeing leading pro-Israel advocates destroy their own credibility on camera

stop. if you think the existence of a warrant is part of the conversation in any way, you cannot, by definition, argue that it makes any difference whether the guy they killed had a warrant or not. because right guy or wrong guy, an arrest warrant isn't a death sentence.

The fact that J.K. Rowling successfully bullied Amnesty International into taking down a report that accurately called out her attack on trans people, especially trans women, is so repulsive and such a display of the power of her money, and her choice to put her vast fortune behind persecution.

Nice work, everyone! Keep it up!

RIP to the incomparable Sam Neill

this is where your money goes when you buy harry potter stuff. rowling isn’t shy about it. amnesty wrote an even-handed report that laid out what anti-rights groups do; rowling uses her billions & clout to suppress it. when you give rowling money; she spends it on stealing people’s human rights.

Democracy in action, folks

now I don't know if people not in Australia can access ABC iview, but if you've never seen the hilarious Death in Brunswick with the beautiful Sam Neill and the equally incredible John Clarke, definitely worth a look at a couple of idiot larrikins... iview.abc.net.au/video/ZX0410...

I am glad others have spotted this. Because I saw the film in the cinema and it so scared the crap out of me that there is no way in hell I’m rewatching it to check.

Lindsey Graham was one of the main subjects of a @theatlantic.com cover story I wrote in 2020, on why people collaborate with regimes they know are immoral. Here's a gift link: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

He never deleted it.

To be a historian is to speak ill of the dead and the rest of you should take more history classes and join us.

So good things come in threes, right? … right? 👀

Brutal, honest and spot on.

Senator Lindsey Graham has died. His death was preceded by the death of his longtime friend and colleague John McCain in 2018, and by Graham's supposed principles shortly after. Known for saying "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed, and we will deserve it," then enthusiastically backing him.

“Lindsey Graham taught me that it was okay to be dead.” - Mitch McConnell

when reached for comment lindsey graham said “AHHHHHH IT BURNSSSSSSSS IT BURNSSSS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”

“You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly of them, they should have behaved better” - Anne Lamott

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

The NYT obituary of Lindsey Graham makes no mention of his effort to overturn the 2020 election by calling Georgia’s secretary of state to intimidate him into manufacturing votes for Trump. The Times, like all news media, is GOP propaganda erasing Republicans’ history as election deniers

1/3 of the US Senate is older than Lindsay Graham.

A trip to Ukraine, you say?

There will be inevitable Articles™️ about the left celebrating Lindsey Graham's death to which I will respond that no man celebrated death more, perhaps in all of American history, than Lindsey Graham

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences
