Trump just threatened Spain for saying “no” to US use of Spanish bases - trade threats and sovereignty bullying. And Aussie Trumpists still say criticising him “helps China”? China doesn’t talk about allies like this. Trump does.

Australians were fed a “healing” story on Isaac Herzog’s visit. But the reality included a secret ASIO meeting that the government tried to keep under wraps. That gap is gaslighting, secrecy, and deceit. Full story here.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/herzog-...

Either defend the law, or admit you’re defending the Trump Regime alliance @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social. A government that claims to defend the “rules-based order” but outsources legality to the bombers is morally bankrupt!

“Not participating” is not the same as not enabling. International law isn’t a slogan for enemies only. Australia’s Iran posture: support, distance, silence.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/austral...

Penny Wong’s spinning another one when she says Australia’s “not participating” in Trump’s war in Iran. We may not be pulling the trigger, but Australia hosts Pine Gap which makes sure US bombs and missiles hit their targets. When the US goes to war, Australia goes to war!👇🏽

International law 101: even if you think the US and Israel had good reasons, countries can’t just bomb another country because they think it’s the “bad guy”. The rule is: no attacks unless the UN signs off, or it’s clear self-defence. Once that rule breaks, everyone’s less safe.

Bombs don’t build peace or democracy. They destroy infrastructure, kill civilians, and then we pretend legitimacy and institutions will somehow grow back. So what’s the story? How do bombs make Iranian women freer, courts fairer, or the Middle East safer? www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/bombing...

On Iran, @albomp.bsky.social has jumped straight onto the Trump-Netanyahu bandwagon, instead of defending the rules-based order Australia claims to believe in. We can condemn the Iranian regime and still oppose illegal wars by choice. Australia is acting like a Trump Regime rubber stamp.

Dingoes are Australia’s wild heart. They’re native. Culturally significant. Apex predators with a real ecological job to do. Also: the “they’re all hybrids anyway” line isn’t supported by the latest genetics. New #FloraAndFaunaFriday post.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/in-defe...

Epstein. Andrew. And the awkward truth: the UK royals are also Australia’s royals - a hereditary Head of State we don’t choose. I reckon Australia’s grown up enough to pick our own Head of State. Republic or monarchy? What are your thoughts?

Trump Tower on the Gold Coast? How can we allow that? A beachfront billboard for a political brand. Should Australia’s skyline be a MAGA culture-war monument. Yes or no?

Pauline Hanson says “ordinary Australians” aren’t welcome in places with Muslim communities. I know what it’s like to be an “ordinary Aussie” - I worked in an abattoir to put myself through uni. My local shops prove her wrong.👇🏽

As Gandalf said in Lord of the Rings: “War is coming.” Trump has announced a 10–15 day deadline. And the scale of US deployments into the Middle East, looks far more like preparation for war than anything else. Read more.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/trump-a...

Australia’s wedge-tailed eagles are sovereign and steady, with females the most powerful. This teaches a truth politics too often forgets: strength without accountability corrodes, strength with vision sustains. The eagle soars… our leaders should too. 👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/apex-bu...

We don't know what's happening, but there's no good news here. As long as we keep burning fossil fuels, the world will continue to become more dangerous and chaotic.

Footage from Sydney on 9 Feb 2026 is deeply disturbing. Whatever your politics, peaceful protest is a democratic right. If you want an independent investigation and release of all NSW Police body cam footage, comment “INVESTIGATE” and tag @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social and your MP.

Why criticising Israel isn’t antisemitism - in a nutshell.👇🏽

"I don’t hate Israel or Jewish people. I don’t hate anyone. I simply believe that when the suffering of civilians reaches this scale, and when our government chooses to validate that, then it’s an obligation for ordinary citizens to register their conscience. That’s what I will be doing. Join me."

‘“protection of civilians isn’t controversial. It’s not partisan. It’s not ideological. It’s a basic human principle. You can condemn Hamas. You can support Israel’s right to exist. You can oppose antisemitism. And still say: what’s happening to civilians in Gaza is abhorrent.”’

Gaza is not abstract geopolitics. It’s the daily destruction of civilian life. Australia shouldn’t roll out the red carpet as this continues. I’ll be protesting Herzog’s visit on Monday. Join me. www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/why-i-l...

Shame @SenatorWong and @AlboMP! Australia just rejected Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Iceland, Ireland, Japan, Norway, Portugal, Spain and the UK in favour of Israel! We refused their invitation to condemn Israel’s illegal demolition of UN facilities in East Jerusalem.👇🏽

A state visit is symbolism: honour, legitimacy, normalcy. Australia can stand against antisemitism without hosting symbolism that inflames division and weakens our commitment to international law. Write to your MP today to cancel the Herzog visit. www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/call-to... 👍🏽
