If Penny Wong is serious about the Australian govt wanting to *do something* to stop the #GazaGenocide, Francesca Albanese provided a handy list a couple of months ago. #auspol

“I can confirm we are seeing single gunshot wounds to the head, neck, and chest.” “Just 2 days ago, we lost 6 children under the age of 12 to single shots to the head.” “This is worse than anything I have ever witnessed.” —American doctor Kathleen Gallagher speaking from Gaza

Umm ... excuse me, but where were the emergency @UN security council meetings about Israel's "brazen" airspace violations over ... Lebanon? Yemen? Syria? Iran? Qatar? Tunisia? Did I blink in miss those? #StopIsrael #hypocrisy

Cardiologist Peter McDonald is on forced leave from his job of saving lives. He asked questions about Israel in a public forum and has been censored and condemned by St Vincent’s Hospital.

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

@tommcilroy.bsky.social A column more than worthy of The Guardian's new chief political correspondent www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"You can't use that word unless it is balanced with the opinion of someone who thinks killing children is fine." chaser.com.au/general-news...

Union members at the ABC and across the media industry stand with John Lyons and reject the US President’s unfounded attacks on our colleague. #MEAAmedia

Australia has imposed 1,600 sanctions in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine. 1,600. And Israel? About a dozen, against individuals and groups - but not on trade. It’s not that we can’t act against a genocide, it’s that we are choosing not to.

Lucky Senator Murray Watt didn’t just approve a MASSIvE CLIMATE BOMB! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

While the Australian War Memorial dinosaurs have been busy moving goal posts to ensure Chris Masters' "Flawed Hero: Truth, Lies and War Crimes" revealing truths about Ben Roberts-Smith will not receive the 2024 Les Carlyon literary award—never forget Masters is a legend and a hero. #auspol #qldpol

Worth noting the Albanese government had the National Climate Risk Assessment available to it, before it signed off on the expansion of the North West Shelf gas project extension.

This is the piece by Amy Remeikis that the New Daily killed. (Obviously their choice not hers to censor it from their site. Not cool, @thenewdaily.bsky.social )

"The cost of inaction will always outweigh the cost of action" Minister Bowen

Compare how ABC/media are responding to the murder of American far right political activist Charlie Kirk to how they responded to the murder of Australian humanitarian aid worker Zomi Frankcom. It’s disgraceful.

So in its cowardly decision to change its own rules so that the Masters' book didn't get an award, the AWM wasn't just continuing its support of a war criminal. It was shunning any responsibility for its own cover-ups and failures of leadership - continuing a pattern that should worry historians.

Reaching average rainfall for #Perth not much of a milestone Now just top extreme of rain in dryer future for south-west Western Australia, no?🤔 In bell curve: right side (above average) no longer gets rain 🤯 Consider sw drying climate impact on swWA streamflow😱 www.perthnow.com.au/wa/weather/p...

Good article here for anyone curious about what climate change looks like - when it’s just starting (and btw, WA’s Water Authority started preparing themselves in the 1980s, before the current political denial nonsense got fully underway) www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Another Australian cultural institution destroying its own reputation for reasons of censorship

Once again… thanks to @theshovel.bsky.social — laugh much needed.

The Govt has given up on insisting the US honour a formal free trade agreement, but hopes the US would honour a formal security agreement in a time of need. Hope is not a defence strategy 🤦‍♂️. #AUKUS #auspol

www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09... Some good news at last. Congratulations to all the patient negotiators.

Israel has attacked Egypt, the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Jordan, Iran... and somehow, it's ALWAYS the other side's fault?! They genuinely believe that they can strike and try to control everyone around them, and it's never their responsibility, that they are always the victim.

Israel is a rogue terrorist state and Zionism is a terrorist ideology. What more proof do we need!

3 years ago today I caught up with David McBride in Parliament to discuss his case - he still thought the system might be fair. Today he is still in prison in Canberra and whistleblower laws are still broken. A stain on this country.

Can Australia junk AUKUS and defend itself? Former senator and submariner @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social says how it can be done #auspol michaelwest.com.au/could-austra...

By MIKE GILLAM Another fire was raging in the river and concerned groups of locals gathered on the Wills Terrace causeway to watch in horror and hurt as several trees were engulfed in flames.

As an activist who helped lead the campaign against Robodebt, I can only think back to the days when legal scholars told us we had no chance of winning in court, and how I thought, fuck it, we’ll keep fighting anyway The Robodebt class action payout is now the largest *ever* in Australian history

As a collector and analyser of information and intelligence, ASIO should keep as far away from politics and policy as possible. Burgess should tone it down and stick more to his desk and provide calm, unexcited reports. #auspol #ASIO #Iran

So well done to the Botanic Gardens of South Australia and the Museum of Economic Botany for no longer being associated with Santos. Let's hope the Tour Down Under gets the memo too.

Today is the 5th anniversary of David Graber's death. And with everything happening in the world, his work is now more relevant than ever before.

The irony of a bunch of white supremecists protesting immigration and then attacking a First Nations camp is off the charts. #auspol

Emboldened, work-shy Nazi thugs. They attack defenceless women in our parks. They deliberately commit affray, assault, and issue violent threats. Revoke their bail. Use police, media and bystander footage to lay new charges. Yesterday would have been a good time. www.theage.com.au/national/vic...

Thomas Sewell is a very dangerous man. That he can turn up threatening the premier two days after being filmed attacking Camp Sovereignty and he still isn't arrested is quite something.

An important update from Francesca Albanese, special UN Rapporteur on Palestine. The flotilla fully complies with International Law. Any attempt to violate the flotilla’s mission is a violation of International Law which @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu has said she will uphold. Empty words, Ursula?

"With Australia’s transport emissions at a near-record high, the Productivity Commission is more worried about subsidies for electric vehicles that are just 1% of the cars on our roads, than it is about subsidies for enormous 4WDs that now dominate suburban streets." @richarddenniss.bsky.social
