When Murdoch appeared b4 the committee, he was full of regret & apology. He promised that bad behaviour had been confined to the News of the World, & was now over. Yet, while he was giving these reassurances, his company seems to have been hacking the phones of three of the MPs on that committee.

More and more police are assaulting protesters. Protest is a part of democracy, just like voting. Something has to be done about state governments introducing anti-protest laws, and police using violence against protesters. Save our democratic rights. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... #auspol

WASHINGTON (AP) — The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during 2020 racial justice protest, AP sources say.

Sometimes - for no reason at all - I look back at what the former ABC chair Ita Buttrose said during this front cover story for Stellar magazine.

The photo shows Israeli army trucks with loudspeakers broadcasting Netanyahu’s speech to displaced Gaza residents. Where did the Israeli army get this idea? From the Nazi German army, which spread Hitler’s propaganda in concentration camps.

When Netanyahu wasn't in power and spoke more freely about manipulating the US... “I know what America is,” Netanyahu said. “America is a thing you can move very easily, move it in the right direction. They won’t get in the way.” www.aljazeera.com/news/2010/7/...

#BREAKING | Greta Thunberg: “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

“A Palestinian state would be ‘national suicide’ for #Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu said, but many of the diplomats & leaders at the assembly boycotted his remarks.” As rabid as expected. A two-state solution? Not possible with that regime? #Palestine www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/w...

More tragic accidents in Russia.

When asked how long they knew about ~310k people potentially affected by unlawful Centrelink payment cancellations, Amanda Rishworth and DEWR refused to answer. ALL penalties must be stopped. These decisions cost lives – lawful or not. Thanks @caitkelly.bsky.social for reporting.

Sidenote: Did you know that the NACC employs over 200 people, spends over $50m per year, has 5 offices, and in over two years of operations hasn't landed a single major corruption finding?

This pic gives me hope. But how on earth do Western powers allow israel to commit a holocaust ??? #IsraeliNazis #PalestinianHolocaust #FinalSolution #auspol #IsraelIsATerroristState

Dr Assal Rad— "This is a month too late. "You repeated Israel’s lies even when the victim was your own journalist."

Dr Assal Rad— "These headlines should be in every Western media outlet."

The Sumud flotilla receiving Spanish, Italian, and Greek naval support is the only piece of news out of the UN, out of anywhere, really, the last little while, that feels at all hopeful. Anglosphere leaders were predictably horrid this week, but serious countries are starting to do more than talk.

Journalists need to stop talking these claims seriously. When someone tells you something that is obviously bullshit, you're not obligated to put it in print or even invite them back to give you their thoughts. And yet, these platforms do, repeatedly.

Source for PM @albomp.bsky.social's headline:

"Prime minister @albomp.bsky.social open to Blair running post-war Gaza" Francesca Albanese: "Tony Blair? Hell no. Hands off Palestine. Shall we meet in The Hague perhaps?" I know who I'm listening to and it's not a couple of war criminals. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

UN #Netanyahu A staggering 180 out of 193 UN delegations refused to hear Netanyahu at UNGA80. Even UK, France, Germany, and Australia walked out before his introduction. That’s not diplomacy, it’s global rejection of his policies and complicity in war crimes. Thank god

No protester has taken any violent action and yet ICE has deployed at least a dozen canisters of tear gas, detonated a flash bang in a man’s face, and now a sniper is shooting us with pepper balls.

“The Israeli prime minister, who has an international criminal court arrest warrant against him for alleged crimes including starvation as a method of warfare, made a trip that flight-tracking data showed followed the Mediterranean Sea, rather than a more direct route over the continent.” 👇👇👇

Totally. Just this clauses existence unravels the entire world

Spain and Italy, not US, protecting 22 Americans on Global Sumud Flotilla targeted for destruction by Israel theaimn.net/spain-and-it...

People already surviving below the poverty line, unlawfully have their support cancelled. “The system is being applied unlawfully at worst, and it’s defective administration at best. It’s 1000’s &1000’s of people who are having really serious consequences” #Auspol #UBI

Spain and Italy deploying their navy to escort the Gaza aid flotilla is a direct testament to the power of meaningful direct action and trade union intervention. In Australia, trade unionist organising for Palestine has been dogged by factionalism and in-fighting. We must do better.

“NT’s top environment regulator, Paul Vogel, approved plant’s extension while being paid INPEX, multinational gas company part-owner of gas project. Now, Vogel has taken a side job at mining company, which has also applied for mining licences on the NT's ecologically sensitive Melville Island.”

'Speaking to Middle East Eye from aboard the Global Sumud Flotilla, Swedish activist Greta Thunberg warned that activists have received “credible intelligence” suggesting Israel may launch “escalated, violent attacks” on the flotilla within the next 48 hours.' www.youtube.com/shorts/SqRa_...

IDF using Palestinians as target practice shooting babies in the head, boys in the testicles and pregnant women in the stomach. This is what #genocide looks like. Full on shooting for fun just like the Nazi in Schindlers List. #auspol #UKpol #USpol #sanctionIsrael #sumudflotilla #Gaza #albo #wong

PM @albomp.bsky.social FM @senatorwong.bsky.social, Why are you content to sit on your hands in the face of repeated displacement, deprivation, cruelty & suffering❓ Why do you aid & abet this with material, military & political support for Israel❓ SANCTION ISRAEL NOW

On Australia's contributions this week.

Seventy-two pages, with hundreds of footnotes, and a litany of atrocity stories catalogue the devastating human destruction. The details are gruesome. Extermination, torture, sexual violence and starvation are not outliers but the systematic instruments genocide. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09....

"A Jewish student at a Victorian public school telling a Palestinian child in year 2 that they “can’t wait to help the IDF go kill Palestinians in Gaza”. ... A principal screaming in a teacher’s face that they were “antisemitic” and a “terrorist” for wearing a keffiyeh." Examples fr new APAN report

A growing number of actors, musicians, writers and workers in the creative industries are calling out Israel’s genocide.

"Coming from a US Jewish family, I joined the humanitarian mission for the same reason that so many US Jews are speaking out about the assault on Gaza: to reclaim my identity, heritage, our traditions...from the nation-state that seeks to monopolize them" www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Love how a guy from Gaza who literally did not know what Bluesky was- I had to send him the link to the app- made an account and posted literally nothing and within 24 hours it was deleted 🥴

🚨Shifa Hospital this morning. 💊Dr. Nadia Abu Alrok: "The situation is beyond imagination, we are under a complete siege" 💊Even today, journalists in Israel are ashamed to cover the most dramatic scenes in Gaza.

"Italy is sending a second ship to support a humanitarian flotilla heading for Gaza" Israel has described the Global Sumud Flotilla (which is carrying aid to Gaza) as a 'Hamas flotilla' and the boats have come under repeated attacks by drones.

In the latest episode of South Park, Kyle's mom, Sheila Broflovski (the Jewish one), flies specially to Israel, bursts into the Prime Minister's office, and voices the sentiments of Israelis and Jews around the world, shouting at Netanyahu: Watch 👇

Holy shit, this is not a joke 🇫🇷🇪🇸 Netanyahu plane is flying AROUND France and Spain, due to international arrest warrants, on his way to NYC Even Netanyahu knows he is WANTED all over the world for the crimes he committed in Gaza Shame and disgrace to the Jewish people.

Ten #AFL clubs, as well as the league itself, take money from Australia’s biggest polluters – including Woodside, Santos, and BHP. Together, their annual emissions rival those of NZ – undermining a safe future for footy and all of us. #climate

#BREAKING | At least 11 Palestinians killed in an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Zawaida town in the central Gaza Strip.

All eyes on the Global Sumud Flotilla 🌍 which has been attacked by Israeli drones in international waters. Spain and Italy have sent navy ships to protect their citizens. Other countries should follow suit. Aussies are on board too, cc: DFAT & Albo (when he's done taking selfies w/ scrotus maximus)

The presenter asks Martin Roux from Reporters Without Borders: "How important is it for journalists to actually be on the ground [in Gaza]?" Martin points out Palestinian journalists are on the ground doing their jobs & Israel is killing them. The presenter issues the obligatory Israeli denial

🚨🇮🇱 Israel new Hasbara 👇 The Israeli Gaza blockade is legal Of course this is bullshit, here are the facts 👉 Israel has no right to bomb ships in international waters 👉 According to Geneva convention (1948), Israel is committing war crimes 👉 Spain and Italy have the right to protect their citizens
