Powerful commentary by cartoonist Pat Hudson. AUS PM Albo's statement 2yrs after the Oct7 attacks made NO mention of the historical context (the Nakba, Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, blockade of Gaza or genocide) or the 68,000 Palestinians killed by Israel #auspol #SaveGaza #FreePalestine

PM @albomp.bsky.social's statement 2 years after the Oct7 attacks is vomitous. No mention of the historical context: the Nakba, Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, Israel's illegal blockade of Gaza, or 2 years of genocide. Not a single mention of ANY Palestinians being killed at all. 😔 #auspol

This didn’t start 2 years ago. The world has watched decades of dispossession, occupation, and genocide - in silence, in complicity. End the genocide. Freedom and justice for Palestine. 🇵🇸🍉

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

Israel's #GazaGenocide: • 68,000 Palestinians killed • 20,000 children killed • 169,000 Palestinians injured • 459 people died of starvation • nearly 300 journalists killed • 1722 healthcare workers killed • 125 hospitals damaged • 10,800 held in Israeli detention • 2300 education centres destroyed

Damn it. I hate it when you do #Wordle every day, for weeks on end, working towards improving on your Maximum Streak ... And you forget to do Wordle one day, so you're back to zero. 😔

If you loved the 1983 6hr mini-series For the Term of His Natural Life (based on the Marcus Clarke novel) starring Colin Friels as Rufus Dawes it's available free-to-air on Brollie. Enjoy. 📺 #Australia #drama watch.brollie.com.au/tv/for-the-t...

Andrew Hastie blasted by the Liberal Party party room after quitting the Oppn front bench?! 1. NewsCorp actively encourages this shift to the lunatic Far Right. 2. The Coalition is irrelevant. Nobody cares what they say or do. #auspol

• South Africa takes Israel to the ICC over the #GazaGenocide. • Spain takes Israel to the ICC over the #GlobalSumudFlotilla interception. • Australia? Still providing Israel with F-35 components and a PM silent on both the genocide and the detention of Australians from the Flotilla. 😔 #auspol

7 Australians illegally held by Israel have been released. Israel illegally intercepted the #GlobalSumudFlotilla in int'l waters, as they were seeking to break Israel's illegal blockade to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza. The ABC rptedly avoids using the word illegal in its report 🤔

And they're out of Israel. Well done, DFAT. "Seven Australian activists arrested while trying to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza have been deported to Jordan, the ABC understands." #auspol #flotilla #Gaza www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

Imagine thinking that bankrupting a sexual assault victim and her husband, after they've just had a baby, is going to restore your "reputation"

As always, quality news commentary comedy on the Cheap Seats with @meladoodle.bsky.social and Tim McDonald. The Crime Time segment is giving serious "The Late Show" Graham and the Colonel vibes. 😂 #CheapSeatsAU #news #comedy

#MediaWatch: @lintonbesser.bsky.social provided a superb summary of #SevenWest media's Kerry Stokes' career & plans. Social media's refusal to monitor misinformation. Plus the vile reporting on the Kidman-Urban split by the tabloid trash gossip mag media. #journalism iview.abc.net.au/show/media-w...

Australians don’t want to be complicit in Israel's #GazaGenocide. The Albanese Labor Govt is trying to hide our ongoing supply of arms components to Israel. The AUS Govt must end the arms trade with Israel. Labor must #SanctionIsrael like we sanctioned Russia. #auspol

"Monsignor Quixote" (1985) Starring Alec Guinness Leo McKern Based on the novel by Graham Greene Directed by Rodney Bennett Music by Antón García Abril. 🎶 I highly recommend, compañero, for Catholics and communists alike. 🎥 youtu.be/xoxKA-WWaFg?...

How many times must you be reminded, @australia.theguardian.com? It's not a war. It's a GENOCIDE. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust #WesternMediaComplicity

Good medicine centres the values of the patient, not the clinician, politician or commentator. #TheCassReview is shaped by stigma not science & fails #trans people.

A new report published in The Medical Journal of 🇦🇺 argues that the 🇬🇧’s Cass Review should not be used as a guide for the care of young trans people. It also asserts that 🇦🇺’s approach to treatment is recognised internationally as best practice. www.outinperth.com/new-australi...

There's a vindictive spitefulness to fmr Liberal Senator Linda Reynolds that is deeply disturbing. I hope Brittany Higgins & @davidsharaz.bsky.social have lots of support. 😔 #auspol #auslaw

Powerful words from Greta Thunberg, on her arrival in Greece, condemning the world's inaction to prevent or to take action to stop Israel's genocide in Gaza. Video: Independent #Israel #Gaza #GretaThunberg #GazaGenocide

Dear America Fun fact: In Australia, if you're being a #sovereigncitizen idiot, we take your guns off you! You've proved that you're a dangerous narcissistic moron. (Responsible gun owners dobbed you in!) No guns for you! No mass shooting. Problem solved. #auspol #USPolitics #GunControlNow

Aha! So those cartoons were based on a true story. 😁 #roadrunner #coyote

The US Treasury has released a draft design for a 2026 $1 coin featuring President Donald Trump to commemorate 250 years since the 1776 declaration of American independence. Of course they did. 🙄 #USPolitics #TrumpCoin

Be concerned for the safety of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla members held hostage by Israel. Remember American activist Rachel Corrie. In 2003, during a nonviolent protest to stop Israel's demolition of Palestinian homes in Rafah, she was killed by an Israeli bulldozer that crushed her. #IsraeliTerrorism

Superb commentary from cartoonist Pat Hudson. @phudsonink on Threads. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GlobalSumudFlotilla

💯 facts, that's how fucked this really is and always has been

Dear @instanterudite.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social Superb Sunday Shot today. While the discussion concerned deeply troubling events (Gaza, Trump's USA), it was encouraging to hear intelligent, informed discussion with empathy rather than shallow tabloid trash gossip mag journalism. Thank you. 🙏

The Australian National Press Club's decision to cancel Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chris Hedges' address is shameful. He was to speak on Israel's murder of journalists in Gaza and the media's silence on this. #IsraeliWarCrimes #JournalismMatters Art: @artworkbymandyking on Insta.

6 Australians are being held by Israel, following their abduction in int'l waters from the #GlobalSumudFlotilla. The Aus Govt refuses to speak to their families unless they receive letters of permission from those detained, or the detainees have died. #auspol www.greenleft.org.au/2025/1439/ne...

Helpful, informative piece on the Israeli military's Dahiya Doctrine. Pity that our Western news media never reports on this illegal Israeli policy. #IsraeliWarCrimes #IsraeliTerrorism imeu.org/resources/re...

If you do a Google search: Global Sumud Flotilla, the first links offered are Israeli Govt propaganda. Google is being paid to promote Israeli terrorism. It's AI now avoids giving direct answers on Israel's #GazaGenocide. 🤔 #GlobalSumudFlotilla #IsraelTerroristState #SaveGaza #FreePalestine

Former Trump advisor and founder of Gateway megachurch Pastor Robert Morris, has pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a 12yo girl in the 1980s. In 2005, in a recorded phonecall, he tried to bribe her silence. He was sentenced to 10yrs, but will serve only 6 months. #USPolitics #ChildAbuse #religion

AUS PM Albanese has tweeted re the #ManchesterSynagogueAttack, yet nothing re Israel's illegal interception and detention of the #GlobalSumudFlotilla members (incl. Australian citizens!) in int'l waters. Appalling. 😔 #auspol

Australian musician singer/songwriter James Reyne's self-titled debut solo album, released in 1987, is still one of my favourites. So many superb songs, incl. "Fall of Rome", "Hammerhead", "Motor's Too Fast", "Rip It Up", "Land of Hope and Glory", "The Traveller". So good. #AusMusic #music 🎶

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

PM Albanese condemned the 'heinous' #ManchesterSynagogueAttack. Good. Sadly, I don't remember him using language this strong to condemn Israel's murder of 68,000+ Palestinians (men, women and children) in Gaza. It seems some lives matter more than others. 😠 #auspol #FreePalestine

Australia needs to speak out in support of Palestinians' self-determination. Trump, Netanyahu and Blair should NOT be the ones deciding Palestine's future. #auspol #FreePalestine

Every time I see the #CriminalMinds S2E21 clip of Prentiss, JJ and Garcia at the bar meeting "Brad, a real FBI agent" (he isn't!), I imagine Kash Patel telling women in bars "Hi, I'm the Director of the FBI. No, really, I am." #USPolitics

Now he's an Oppn backbencher, with no portfolio limits, Andrew Hastie will be available for lots of interviews on ABC News (Afternoon Briefing, Insiders) and Sky News After Dark, and op-eds in Nine and NewsCorp papers. And the Coalition moves further to the Lunatic Fringe Far Right. 🙄 #auspol

If you can't be factual or civil when engaging with me on Twitter, I will block you. If you can't be factual or civil when engaging with me on BlueSky, I will block you.

Andrew Hastie has quit the Federal Oppn front bench. The conservative parties (Liberals & Nats) continue to tear themselves apart. Some want the parties to be Right wing, others want to be Far Right. And still others want to be Lunatic Fringe Very Far Right. #LibSpill? #auspol

Superb #PlanetAmerica. @therealjohnbarron.bsky.social & Chas Licciardello discuss the US Govt shutdown, the California ban on masks for law enforcement, plus a superb interview with Jesselyn Cook re her book "The Quiet Damage" on #QAnon. #USPolitics youtu.be/v4WiBRtNUlE?...
