#Fascism by @australianlabor.bsky.social, @albomp.bsky.social and @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social. Hope you all understand the can of worms this will open. Not just in harms, but in the number of voters you lose, in permanent reputational damage, and in the #Protests against you. #Australia #auspol

If only @albomp.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social and @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social listened to this group instead of Segal #auspol

A Christmas message from the First Dog on the Moon Institute | First Dog on the Moon

Ben Phillips post- ( from X) “This is beautiful. The smiles! Bondi beach hero Ahmed Al-Ahmed with the doctors looking after him at the hospital in Sydney. And… The doctors are *also* Syrian! Tamer Al-Kahil from Homs. Anas Natfaji from Aleppo. *Three* heroes.”

Focussing on this from a pure security perspective, it’s wild that an IS-linked attack was just carried out in Australia and we’re barely talking about it - the focus is on protestors and universities. www.afr.com/policy/forei...

#auspol “Our grief should not be used as a political weapon, nor as an excuse to pursue agendas that divide communities” - Max Kaiser, executive officer at the Jewish Council of Australia

I worked to 3am last night and then I still couldn't sleep. This is such a dangerous, dark moment. More of us need to see it clearly.

Thank you David. Tough times ahead for us with moral clarity which seems to be banned soon. Imagine going after your citizens for telling the truth.

‘This is a dark moment for all of us. We must not make it worse by choosing to live with the genocidal lies & the oppression of hyperwealthy ghouls. We must choose truth, protect our peace, rights & seek justice for all humans everywhere. The children are our responsibility. All of them.’ #Auspol

And of course Australian journalists are only interested in one thing:

This is a terrible mistake, borne of laziness and cowardice, and will be one of Anthony Albanese's longest lasting and most destructive legacies. Considering how we teach the Holocaust is one thing; entrenching pro-Israel ideology in our education system is a whole other thing.

And this from Urban Wronski #auspol

This is exactly what will happen. One thing Australians will always do is support each other in tmes of difficulty. However, if Australians feel that one group receives treatment that is seen as more favouring, it only builds more unease. #WeAreAllAustralian

Welcome to North Korea. What a cowering capitulation of our democracy by @albomp.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social Why should we all pay for this terrible killing with our freedoms? #Auspol #Australia #DemocraticRightsAreHumanRights

Oh yes, kindergartens, those incubators of hate. Imagine if the same approach was considered to address all forms of bigotry, or violence against women, or any of the issues that are genuinely rampant among the population.

Banning peace protests, curtailing free speech, will only fuel the fires of antisemitism. Also: revelations of death threats and doxing in Bondi attacks aftermath #auspol youtu.be/Fxm6RU17C-c?...

Oh, FABULOUS, @albomp.bsky.social! We're going to teach everyone how EVIL GENOCIDE and settler-colonialism is, yes? How no matter what your skin colour or your religion, you deserve the right to live and not suffer from illegal occupation, apartheid or state terrorism? #auspol #GazaGenocide #pfft

It is now imperative that Australia tear up the AUKUS agreement before we’re dragged into a war against Venezuela, which is nothing more than a distraction from Trump being irrefutably outed as a paedophile. Under AUKUS we have no choice but to follow America into an illegal war where every act

“The people who teach you to hate everyone now want to sell you something. The majority of Australians have the right to peacefully protest against Israel & its genocidal policies. Not all Jewish ppl support the actions of Israel. Religious extremism is evil. Hatred creates more hatred.” #Auspol

It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance". She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate. theklaxon.com.au/jillian-sega...

NSW Premier Minns believes peace protests cause people with extreme religious beliefs to shoot people with different religious beliefs. There is no connection between these two things. If they ban protesting, protest more. #AusPol #NSWPol

Remind me how this man is in any position of power? @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social #Auspol #NSWpol

This is the same group that runs military training camps in Israel and advised an Australian Jewish soldier to lie to ASIO about it. That soldier was subsequently dismissed from the army both for lying and for admitting he felt greater loyalty to Israel than Australia.

“CSG has a long history as a recruiting ground for Israeli intelligence agencies." Premier Minns "said the CSG was already permitted to be armed at Jewish places of worship & Jewish schools" "the Victorian government pledged $900,000 to the CSG’s Victorian chapter in the wake of the Bondi attack"

Palestinian Ambassador to the UN Riyad Mansour: “We condemn the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach targeting Jews celebrating Hanukkah. Nothing justifies attacks against innocent people because of their faith. Such crimes can never be justified."

Can someone ask Chris Minns how to avoid undercooking pasta? I wanna know if his solution is to ban protest for that too. It's his solution for literally every other problem.

Dave Rowe dropping in.. Financial Review

Two men. Not uni students, lecturers, historians; not protesters, marching for ☮️ an end to the killing; not 👩‍🎨 expressing solidarity over the killing of ppl,🧑🏽‍⚕️, journo, humanitarians 2 men. Full of hatred; radicalised: blind to humanity; with training, plans & a stash of legally obtained guns #Auspol

The conservatives forces using the Bondi Massacre to instigate a crackdown of freedoms of speech and the right to assembly are completely disgusting. Protesting genocide and the actions of the Netanyahu Israeli govt are not antisemitic.

The idea that changing a definition to include criticism of Israel as being anti-Semitic and cracking down even further on anti-genocide protests would have in any way made anyone safer is madness. That the Coalition have so comprehensively jumped to blame here is insanity. Who is this speaking to?

It's almost like our rulers - and there's increasingly little doubt that these gronks think of themselves as our rulers - are exploiting the Bondi disaster to limit democratic participation in precisely the way that they have been saying publicly that they wished they could for two years.

Comment from a trauma doctor. Non-life threatening injuries do not mean minor. They are often life changing. Long guns mean high velocity and large amts of tissue damage compared to handguns. Patients are frequently left with pain and disability for the rest of their lives. It is never “over”.

Australia’s National AI Plan shifts away from the government’s previously promised mandatory AI safeguards. Instead, it’s positioned as a whole-of-government roadmap for building an “AI-enabled economy” theconversation.com/australias-n...

Two men. My @smh cartoon.

Ahmed the Fruiterer being the everyday hero that saved multiple lives of mostly Jewish people today is the only politics worth a pinch of shit in this act of terrorism

A horror night for Australia. But the acts of Australians from all walks of life to protect and help shows this nation is much stronger than those who seek to divide us. All love to those and their friends and family in shock and mourning today.

We honor the bravery of Ahmed al Ahmed, a bystander who risked his life to protect those under fire. The lesson, yet again, is all too clear: Our safety is bound up together.

Violence, whether driven by antisemitism, racism, Islamophobia, or any other form of bigotry, must be stopped.

We grieve the loss of life in Sydney, Australia, where gunmen attacked a celebration of the first night of Hanukkah, killing at least 11 people. This was a terrifying incident of hate-fueled violence that no community should face.

This is the real story of Australia’s under-16s social media ban: a victory not for children, but for News Corp’s balance sheet. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/12...

ICE snatched a human rights hero. Guan Heng risked his life to capture video of Uyghur concentration camps. After escaping to the U.S., Guan was in hiding for years, not knowing his work had been crucial to substantiating China's mass detention practices. On Monday, he has an asylum hearing in NY.

Here's me. "Hyperwealthy pedophilic genocidal dickweeds versus the rest of humanity"

Thank you Shot presenters, panellists and producers for your efforts during 2025..... and now NEVER back to you, Speersy.

In the same week the US released a new National Security Strategy which declared “the affairs of other countries are our concern only if their activities directly threaten our interests”, @RichardMarlesMP declared “full steam ahead” on #AUKUS 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️. #juxtaposition #auspol
