I was recently informed that legal action has been initiated against me in the EU for my reporting on the genocide in Gaza and Palestine. All major social media platforms are deliberately limiting the visibility of my work.

Brexit removed subsidies from farming that were never going to be made up by the Conservatives-who also screwed them with the NZ and Australia trade deals. If Farage becomes PM, he’ll bring cheap USA agricultural products to the UK. The farmers cannot compete with this kind of stuff.

It's also about diversity for Farmers. If you grow just Wheat and the price collapses there is little you can do. Having some fields with solar gives you protection to that. You get a pretty steady income 8 months of the year with low capital investment 🤔

2/ Envoy Jillian Segal is/was a prominent member of The ECAJ. The significant funding increase of $32.5M comes in addition to the $25M grant to the ECAJ announced in October 2023 & funding for Jewish community sites under the Government’s $50 million Securing Faith-Based Places grant program. 3/

As a Jewish Australian i can not stand how people keep trying to associate Israel and Jewish people as one. Majority of us Jews around the world do not endorse the actions of Genocidal Israel and protest it, just to be called a self hating jew by zionists. Worth it.

In Somalia, climate change is worsening poverty, hunger and and threatening to enflame a decades-long conflict. However, there is hope through #ClimateAction, as the government and UNEPCCC work on technology-based adaptation measures. Read more: www.unep.org/news-and-sto... #YearInReview

UK farmers and renewables - -“heaps of farmers have established solar and wind farms because it's more lucrative than meat, dairy or crops. Renewable power huge over there.”

If Albo is serious about social cohesion, inviting the head of a genocidal apartheid rogue state is an odd move.

This coming election cycle We have work to do

The art of trading.. 😅

We seem to be sliding rapidly to a position in which it's not only antisemitic to disagree with Israel's talking points, but it's also antisemitic to not agree with them rapidly enough, repeatedly and in the Israel-approved fashion. It's all becoming a bit "North-Korea", to my mind. #Auspol

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

'The Israeli government does not want anti-semitism around the world decreased.' It really doesn't. It reinforces the sense of victimhood they constantly use to win sympathy and underpins their campaign for Jews to immigrate for their safety.

Virginia offshore wind developer sues over Trump administration order halting projects

If they’re really that worried about protecting Christians how about they bomb Israeli military bases for attacking and killing Palestinian Christians

Wouldn’t it be great if the TV had a sensor that realised when you dozed off so that when you woke up again it gives you a recap of what you missed before continuing

So sick of this eternal, wholly disingenuous pity party. For those at the back ... NO ONE HATES YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR RELIGION. They hate the murderous, genocidal apartheid state that is Israel and the racist, supremacist, land thieving ideology that is Zionism. Clear now? Stop playing victim.

In less than a week, I will be sworn in as the next mayor of New York City. It was only possible because of the more than 100,000 people who volunteered on our campaign. Here’s a story about one of them, my mother.

I beg your pardon @ktxby.bsky.social? The AJA is well known as an extremist group of nutters - even the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) calls them unrepresentative extremists The ECAJ is the recognised peak body for Jewish people in Aust and they do not recognise the AJA - nobody does

NEVER buy second hand tech DO NOT. People typically pass on their tech because it develops 'niggles' that warranty either doesn't cover or it's expired That bullshit line 'we've thoroughly checked it' almost always misses the reason why someone ditched it DO. NOT. BUY. SECOND. HAND. TECH.

Sydney Heritage Fleet is berthed in the last working harbour site left in Sydney — a place where ships are repaired, skills are passed on, and history quite literally floats. If Rozelle Bay is rezoned for apartments, Sydney doesn’t just lose a view. It loses its maritime memory. #NSWpol #auspol

Newsom just signed AB 715, a vague California law that weaponizes "antisemitism" to silence criticism of Israel in schools. The law deliberately avoids defining antisemitism while forcing districts to adopt the IHRA definition that conflates anti-Zionism with bigotry. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/cali...
