She will. I knew Virginia Bell when she worked at Redfern Legal Centre and I was a lowly law student volunteer. Her integrity and passion for justice had a profound effect on me, and I've watched her career since then, all the way to Justice of the High Court. She will not tick boxes.

Randa Abdel-Fattah’s response:

You can contact the Adelaide Festival here to express your opinion about their decision to ban Randa Abdel-Fattah. Please refrain from abuse.

I stand with Randa and everyone standing against hate, genocide, oppression and terror. In all its forms.

The ABC has a breaking news banner that Albo is about to announce a royal commission, so Albo can go and get shucked. Like an oyster, At the next election. And thrown in the bin. #auspol

Horrific scenes coming out of Iran right now. We saw this repression following the murder of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini and the Women, Life, Freedom movement. It must be condemned.

Statement from @australiainstitute.org.au on Adelaide Festival.

Thousands of protesters and community members with candles gathered in Minneapolis at the site where 37 y/o Renee Nicole Good was killed by ICE. Thousands are chanting “F ICE,” calling for justice and accountability as protests continue to grow.

In the gun

When are Australians going to realise Zionism is fascism? - racist - supremacist - silence critics (through censorship and violence) - infiltrate government & media - mass propaganda - victim complex - ethnic cleansing, genocide and apartheid Capitulating to Zionism is the death of freedom.

Anthony Albanese could surrender leadership of the Labor Party to Josh Frydenberg and The Australian would still run stories condemning him for not doing enough. It's a fight, Mr Albanese, not a good-faith negotiation. Get out of the mainstream media bubble and fight back.

I hate to say it but I only see the confrontations between #ICE and US citizens escalating. Some are starting to call them the #MAGAstapo. This seems accurate as violent confrontation seems to have been their game plan all along. Australia should now issue a travel warning to the US. #Auspol

If the US attacks Greenland (a NATO ally) then Australia needs to rapidly act. Assess the threat posed by the many US military assets in Australia and design a strategy to remove them as rapidly as possible. No one can seriously pretend they make us safe anymore.

The ABC (Australia) is reporting this on news breakfast. Earlier they confronted Murray Watt about the US Greenland ambitions. The more our government is confronted by the US abandoning the rule of law, the more the alliance will fracture. Hopefully. #Auspol

Thank God for #Bluesky. I'm never going to the Nazi porn site. Or Faceblecch.

Left is right. Up is down. Facts dismissed. Sad day for America. I am incredibly sad for this woman's family and truly anxious for us all.

We know this is already happening in Australia with the Latouf case and now the pile-on of Cathy Wilcox, to name just a few. Thankfully we have lots of talented human rights lawyers willing to push back. But make no mistake its a common, concerted tactic of Zionist fluffers. Resist. #Auspol

All the government has to do to wriggle out of this stupidity is to offer to do an RC into every type of racism, not just one. The silence will be deafening.

European leaders are 'working on a plan' to counteract US ambitions. Who will Albo get behind? If the UK joins a Euro-coalition it will be easier for Australia to take a stance. Watch this space. #Auspol

Our governments have been ignoring this for more than 20 years. We've been hiding behind the bully, looking the other way when he takes all the lunch money. I can't stomach that any longer, and I think the majority of Aussies can't either. #Auspol

BREAKING: Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey after ICE just killed a civilian: “To ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.”

The view from my kitchen sink. #bloomscroll #bloomsky

'When asked directly to clarify whether he was changing his mind on his decision to hold a royal commission, Albanese did not rule it out.' So, silence is confirmation? It's only the media who are saying his stance has shifted, not Albo himself. #Auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The headline in #Auspol would be 'The Prime Minster calls for a ‘peaceful, democratic transition’ of power in Washington after the capture of President Donald Trump. We urge all parties to support dialogue and diplomacy in order to secure regional stability and prevent escalation.'

Labor in NSW seems keen on agreeing to Pro-Israel lobbying and introducing draconian laws on Aussie soil. If the Monopoly Labor fed does the same, it will be the best motivation for electing more #Independents at the next election. We'll take back our #democracy with actual democracy. #Auspol

"Pauline Hanson wrote to Albanese asking him to lift a seven-day suspension from the Senate she received in the final sitting week of last year after she wore a burqa into the chamber. Hanson said the ban would prevent her from debating the new hate speech laws once parliament is recalled." Good.

"What the Trump Administration truly fears is not Chinese communism, Russian autocracy, or Islamic extremism but European liberal democracy.... people who talk about transparency, accountability, civil rights, and the rule of law." tdunlop.substack.com/p/the-enemy-...

#Auspol should be a lot madder about this. 'Australia’s new electoral laws have all the hallmarks of a cartel move ... This is not reform. It is a rort. It entrenches the major party duopoly at a time when Australians are asking for something different.' www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...

Now Trump's barbs and jokes about Canada becoming the 51st state of the US are in proper context. Will Greenland trigger NATO's article 5? If not, surely his plans for Canada must? Will Albo abandon Trump and stand behind his commonwealth brother? Let's monitor the situation. #Auspol

Will Albo still support the orange crime boss after he steals the midterms? Perhaps he will monitor the situation and hold grave concerns for the country. #Auspol

I never thought I'd support the idea of a military coup but its perhaps the only thing that will save the world from this evil power grab. Maybe within the US military there's an ethical core of leaders who aren't up for kidnapping and stealing oil and are willing to arrest #Trump and take him out.

I think Albo knows all these good reasons also, and, while he is putting up appearances of 'softening' his language and 'appearing open' to the idea, I believe he is just paying lip service the shouty bulldozer of the Zionist lobby. There will be no federal royal commission. #Auspol
