BREAKING: Israel has killed 20 Palestinians, including four children, and injured 83 others in the past 24 hours across the Gaza Strip, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/73c1bj

The Epstein Files bill has a lot of protections in it to prevent Bondi from doing what we all suspect she's going to do: hold back or redact because of an open investigation or national security concerns. If she improperly withholds, she'll be sued, and SCOTUS will eventually decide.

Tasmanians will be paying a lot more than the stated $375M. Rockliff's "not a red cent more" promise is a fairy tale. We will likely never know the real cost. It doesn't have to be monetary. The promised private investors never materialised. They lied about that. It's a complete mess. #politas

Feel the transparency. A secret conversation about a secret deal giving $2bn to an allegedly corrupt foreign leader.

PATTON OSWALT: These people are scared. They're being targeted. We're watching them be targeted right now. We're watching transgender people be targeted in a very aggressive way, so— BILL MAHER: We are? Where? OSWALT: Oh my god. MAHER: Where are they being targeted?

NEW: The leaders of an Old Apostolic Lutheran Church community in Minnesota enabled a child abuser by pressuring his victims to forgive and forget his sins — so that they could never speak of them again. With @startribune.com

The Albanese Government's proposed changes would weaken our environment laws and benefit destructive industries. The Australia Institute is proud to be one of 100+ orgs calling on Parliament to reject the changes that would gut our environmental protections. #auspol

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

Breaking: An Epstein survivor just silenced press conference attendees when she delivered the following remarks: “Today we stand in a moment that will decide whether our government belongs to the American people, or to those who prey on them.”

And this doesn't even fully capture how bad it is either, because a significant portion of what science funding the Australian government does do is also just like, corporate tax breaks. This is something I whipped up last year and though it's hard to read it shows what our science budget is doing.

Dear ICE: They don't let you wear a mask in your mug shot.

"The average mortgage pays $200,000 in profit over its life to the banks," says Richard Denniss, co-CEO at The Australia Institute. You can read more on good ideas for economic reform on The Point. thepoint.com.au/opinions/251...

“CSIRO has announced it will slash up to 350 jobs as the national science agency grapples with long-term financial challenges … with current funding failing to keep pace with the rising costs of running a modern science agency.” Not “challenges”. They’re choices. 😡

Video of Speaker Mike Johnson making his daughter take the "purity pledge" filmed by a German show. Purity culture is so gross, giving ownership of a girl's autonomy to her father then passed to her husband. If it's all about just keeping children safe, why is it just the girls?

Yes, and? www.theguardian.com/news/2025/no...

People are rising up and teaching each other how to resist and fight back, and it’s working. And yeah, we’re seeing a whole lot of stupid ICE agents stumbling around like they own the place. You cannot occupy a city and expect silence. The people who live there always answer back.

Relying on algorithms to assist NDIS support planning can cause significant harm to people living with disability, says Dr Georgia van Toorn from UNSW’s School of Social Sciences www.unsw.edu.au/arts-design-...

Penny Wong says the Liberal Party has gone from being a “serious mainstream political party” to one that’s “trying to outflank Pauline Hanson” “What I’d say to Sussan Ley & to Andrew Hastie & to Angus Taylor is you can’t be more Pauline than Pauline.”🔥 #Abcinsiders

Attacks on Palestinians across the occupied West Bank have surged to record levels, with Israeli settlers and soldiers operating in near-total symbiosis. In this special report by Oren Ziv, victims of shootings and beatings reveal their ordeals. projects.972mag.com/portraits-se...

Study Technology, used by Athena school, has been criticised globally as pseudoscientific Scientology indoctrination that denies learning disabilities, suppresses critical thinking and lacks credible research backing. We shouldn’t be bankrolling scientology with school funding.

How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government? In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.

The Nauruan president has secretly arrived at Parliament House for talks with Australian officials just days after this masthead revealed allegations of corruption inside the federal government’s offshore detention regime. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

It's just been confirmed that Monash University is dropping Woodside as a partner because they don't align with their sustainable values. This is an incredible win for @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social who have run a dedicated grass roots campaign for years.

Better headline: 'Premier Minns mounts desperate distraction from approval of neo-Nazi rally.' #nswpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Minns knows this is untrue. NSW Police do not need more powers, they need to stop providing police protection to Nazis. Same applies to Victoria Police.

Hey, @albomp.bsky.social - this okay by you? If not,what do you plan to do about it? Is it going to take mass executions live on TikTok to get you off your lazy arse?

No longer pretending it's anything but genocide. Making it official.

#JUST_IN | Israeli settler militias let their sheep graze on Palestinian land near the village of Al-Mughayir in the central occupied West Bank, aiming to take over the land through grazing.

"The money has and must be going somewhere". Has Australia been played by Nauru for a cool $2B? Human rights lawyer @alisonbattisson.bsky.social finds blacked out FOIs and no trust deed for asylum seekers deal #auspol michaelwest.com.au/no-trust-dee...

Some astonishing details in here. It’s like reading a recipe for pure corruption.

remember when elon fired the most beloved man in Iceland and posted its explicitly (actionable) because hes disabled and then reversed after learning his contract gave him like a 100mm severance and spent the next month replying “so true!” “Wow this is so insightful“ to every banal post the guy did

The govt is spending billions to keep 100 asylum seekers on Nauru, a nation of 12 000 people the size of Tullamarine airport. Reports implicating the Finks bikie gang in those deals are deeply concerning. Public servants have risked their livelihoods to speak out.

SOURCES: The Epstein files are actually worse than previously thought. Here's my latest episode of The Breakdown in case you missed it yesterday. www.muellershewrote.com/p/sources-th...

It is extraordinary that our PM thinks this is the kind of person who deserves to have their funeral paid for by the taxpayer... #auspol www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

🇦🇺 pays $1.5mil per person each year to detain people on Nauru. During last Senate Estimates, I asked about links to organised crime and value for money, I was told there is no need for concern. Now whistleblower evidence paints a very different picture. www.smh.com.au/national/pou...

A scarcity of specialists and huge growth in out of pocket costs are issues Canberrans regularly raise with me. Specialist care shouldn’t be reserved for the wealthy, govt needs to get serious about tackling these spiralling costs. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

Back from the Texas Book Festival and had a wonderful time. The crowds were huge, and it was so great to be around so many people who love books.

Any new law will be used as an excuse to bash hippies & uppity brown folks whilst the Nazis will continue to be protected by their friends within the police force & parliament. #nswpol #auspol
