Yeah, I think the amount of evil we're being asked to swallow has exceeded the propaganda power, so it's an "issue" that they need to go hard on. It's very powerful though. The US has concentration camps, "disappearings", crims in gov, many state murders. Still only "outrage", just like Gaza.

Makes sense. Not always intentionally I’m sure but if the instructions from the top are not to do with creating clarity then it would be hard to do so. I suppose that’s one reason we are galvanised re the Palestinian cause - the crimes are so obvious and appalling that the usual tactics failed.

It’s so bizarre that we had a whole era of offshore detention, kids in detention etc, pleading with government to be compassionate….but it was normalised and now it’s like it never happened (even though it somewhat is still happening? Nauru?) The mind gets exhausted and sort of gives up, perhaps.

Corporate shills and Murdoch minions. Yet there’s no political appetite to reform the MSM…just a barrage of criticism about the ills of social media 🤷🏼

Australians can't spot our own fascists because ours have been described as "centre-left" forever by the dumbest class of TV pundits on the fucking planet

Libspill remains a side show to the real carnage

It's a good step that the LECC will investigate police misconduct and violence at Town Hall during the anti-Herzog protest. Now we need an independent investigation of the political incitement to violence by the NSW Premier and others.

Senate Estimates today - I'll be asking about Herzog's visit, Trump's 'Board of Peace', Zomi Frankcom, war graves, NE Syria, Iran, Pakistan, Sudan, West Papua, Myanmar and more.

Good stuff. I feel represented as an Australian, if not a New South Welshman.👍 Lucky you've get parliamentary privilege or you'd be risking a kicking from the Minns goonsquad.

I asked Penny Wong today how hosting President Herzog in Australia when UN experts have found he incited genocide, when he has signed bombs used on Gaza, and right now Israel is stealing more Palestinian land, how could that ever be about peace?

Leader of the Opposition. #Auspol.

Turnbull is right. The more the Liberal & National Parties move from the centre towards far right populist issues the more they will lose to Hanson. There are no moderates remaining to bring them back.

There have been multiple reports confirming this horrible story including the UN, Guardian UK, and many News orgs closer to Lebanon.

#gaza #palestine #humanity #genocide

Exactly and they steal the olive oil harvests and relabelled it. They also destoyed all the cold pressed equipment. He probably stole it...and a symbolic choice they attract snakes..lol

The TV news showed Herzog planting an olive tree in Canberra - rather ironic in view of the IDF bulldozing olive trees in Gaza and settlers killing olive trees in he occupied West Bank!

I wonder how @albomp.bsky.social could casually ask the #WarCiminal at dinner tonight, "so how is the weed control program in Lebanon these days Isaac? That glyphosate is pretty dam good at killing anything in the ground, yeah!" #auspol #Israel

Maybe the news should be reporting on these stories too rather than just being worried about Grace Tame? #AusPol #Israel #Herzog #ABCnews

Why should we welcome a foreign President when their country is doing this? #AusPol

US Republican Andy Ogles has demanded a formal congressional inquiry into the NFL and NBC over Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime performance, which he described as “pure smut,” “explicit,” and “indecent.” Ogles should play the @bullwark.bsky.social ‘Whose lyrics is this?’ quiz first. #BadBunny

Any fresh Epstein investigations need to include Alex Acosta who was the former Attorney General for Florida then Trumps Secretary for Labour who was instrumental in negotiating a Federal plea deal for Epstein’s 2008 case. Epstein served 18 months & his 3 coconspirators got off.

That’s because Sky News is a powerful faction within the Liberal Party.

Tropical Cyclone Gezani explosively intensified from a tropical storm (50 knots) to a Category 3 cyclone (110 knots) in just 24hrs, then it hit Madagascar

Someone with a spine!

MPs in the House of Commons demanded clarity from the government to what extent Peter Mandelson pushed for Palantir to have greater access to public contracts in Britain www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvDF...

They’re- I know I know.

You’re not on your own. Although mine changed for the last election. Their done for me in NSW as well.

Explains why a farce like Scomo's $365 Billion+ AUKUS continues on its merry way even as it provides no submarines and guts all other defence capability. Australians have been completely sold out by the 1% haven't we 🫤

Thank you David absolute GOLD having you post these snippets. we (The Public) and taxpayers getting an idea of just how insidious and self-saucing this industry is. and yet no consequences … unbelievable #AusPol

I asked Defence where Major General King now works having recently left his job in the Department overseeing billions in contracts for companies like Lockheed Martin... can you guess where he went too?

Defence says its a 'benefit to our nation' to have people leave Defence to join US arms dealers. I am not so sure.

BREAKING: High Court ruling today in AA v Catholic Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle opens avenues for justice in child sexual abuse cases. The decision means survivors can seek compensation from the institutions that failed them via a 'non-delegable duty of care'.

I went out before today's Herzog protest at Parliament and saw this massive police surveillance tower. This is completely unnecessary, and intimidating, at a peaceful protest. Police need to be protecting protesters, not snooping on them, or attacking them.

Agree. Friends and I looked around and remarked what an amazing array of people turned up, young and old, all kinds of cultural backgrounds, and one said “isn’t this a beautiful reflection of Australia?”.

The Sydney protest was a celebration of multicultural diversity, peace and social cohesion among Australians of all walks of life supporting universal human rights, justice, dignity, UN law, the iCJ, brother/sisterhood and equality - until the antisocial divisive rioters in blue suits turned up.

Here's me. "Why the fuck would we 'socially cohere' for monsters?"

Q: Can you win the midterms on the economy? Trump: “Greatest economy ever.” Reality says otherwise. Slowing GDP, rising prices, families drowning in bills, half the states flirting with recession. Bragging does not erase the pain. #TrumpflationSucks

CONFIRMED in Estimates this morning that Defence's $3B land privatisation has ONE test which is who pays most. Public housing or veterans uses are not being considered. Century-old public land sold off without any public benefit assessment. Privatisation at it's grubby worst.

Good Q’s Sen Barbara Pocock! Katie Gallagher is squirming -as if personally she doesn’t disagree w Sen Pocock…

Very good questions!

Yeah sorry i used to be a fan 💩

how many innocent women and children have to be killed or maimed before she can lift her bloody chin off her hand, sit up straight, and do something positive.....are they all in the Epstein files??????

Senator @barbarapocock.bsky.social pressing the Minister in Estimates today: if the Future Fund already excludes weapons & tobacco, why not companies like Palantir that enable racial profiling & punitive tracking of immigrants?

Exactly this 👇

Jennifer witnesded her son being pepper sprayed.

I spoke to someone this morning who was there and the police were grabbing people and spraying them and knocking into them just to get a reaction to use against them!

From what Jennifer told me and others have written. I agree.
