Marching for peace is dangerous, but apparently genocide is no problem

@albomp.bsky.social you're trying to defend the indefensible - wrong, Wrong, WRONG! Albanese defends Isaac Herzog’s Australia visit as federal MP joins calls to rescind invitation www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Albanese Government has overseen a massive increase in investment in Palantir by the Future Fund since the genocide in Gaza began (and was facilitated by companies like Palantir)

Read our advisory committee member, Josh Bornstein's important contribution in the ABC today (link in bio) about why Albanese should not have invited Herzog to Australia. Rescind the invitation, now.

The folly of inviting Israel’s President, Isaac Herzog, to Australia. My column for the ABC.

Who'd have thunk it! The US Defense Department is letting Beijing into its most critical systems — not through a breach, but by design. And Albo aspires to getting closer to the USA. AUKUS = U-SUKA www.fdd.org/analysis/202...

I do not believe @albomp.bsky.social is stupid, but inviting Herzog to Australia is certainly a stupid, highly divisive, move. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Evidence Labor takes its new broad yet draconian hate speech laws very seriously. Israel’s president Isaac Herzog can sign bombs and appear in a UN genocide conclusion, yet still not qualify as a hate preacher and can traipse around Australia. Relax though. We can still social cohesion etc etc

What is being ‘normalised’ through politics and media is abhorrent and dangerous. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

It they showed the Melania movie on an airplane in flight, the audience would still walk out.

Given @albomp.bsky.social 's silence, that has to be considered acceptance for this corrupt, vile, evil, bastardry. How ANYONE could consider voting ALP at the next election is beyond me! theaimn.net/an-anatomy-o...

This mid-afternoon Alex Pretti vigil at the Portland VA was not heavily promoted. But the crowd probably stretches a quarter mile or more. Americans are galvanized and grieving.

Are prejudicial statements intended to stoke fear and hate against whole religious communities ok under the new hate speech laws? Just checking…

Even some Jewish groups do not want Herzog to visit! michaelwest.com.au/jewish-voice...

Is Australia turning into a country of red-necks? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

Australia, the newest police state! theaimn.net/australias-n...

Remember when it was only metaphorical?

Nothing says "Coalition in crisis" like the Murdoch flagship choosing Scott Morrison - renowned prosperity-gospel Pentecostal, Robodebt architect, and strong contender in the "worst Aussie PM of all time" stakes) to star in this front-page dog's breakfast of Islamophobic fear-mongering. 🙄 #AusPol

This global heat map is extraordinary. Australian political leaders who pump out fossil fuels and ignore climate change are threatening our survival on this extraordinary continent.

“I thought Mark Carney’s speech in Davos was outstanding … and yes, I think the Australian prime minister needs to give a similar speech, which is essentially acknowledging that the world has changed,” the former prime minister told Guardian Australia’s Full Story podcast.

I've no problem with the National Anthem but do take issue with this heavy handed approach. What, arrest the child if they're not singing? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

tRump and his ICE:

The first bit of good news from Labor related to Palestine in.... Oh, I can't remember how long! Now, let's ban Herzog's visit 😡🤬

Headline should read: Unrestricted tourism causes dingo cull

Opinion | New hate speech legislation gives the executive government a power properly reserved for the courts: adjudging criminal guilt, @marquelawyers.com.au writes.

You might want to look into that…. Looks like our Australian of the year has a certification to fly but is yet to actually get a ride into space. Cos … you know Australia doesn’t have our own rockets. Totally perplexing choice for Australian of the year, in my view.

And dragging out the near dead little Johnnie Howard whenever times are tough is the final nail in their coffin! open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Greatest threats to Australia in 2026: 1. Climate Change 2. US alliance 3. Domestic violence 4. Cost of living 5. Sovereign Capability Readiness

In our current world, the challenge seems to be that anyone who attempts to hold Israel accountable for genocide is simply called "anti-semitic." What many want is the freedom to critique Israel's indisputably horrific actions without being called anti-semites. This is getting so tiring.

In the Commonwealth under Labor and the Coalition, if you are a senior mate, you always fail upwards. Defence Secretary Moriarty has overseen procurement disasters and scandals, the AUKUS debacle and recruitment fails - so next stop Washington of course.

Busy Penguins

Australia Day would be a good day to step away from the AUKUS agreement.

The head of Australia’s largest veteran organisation has categorically rejected Trump’s claim that allied soldiers “stayed a little back” from the frontlines when they supported the US campaign in Afghanistan, calling the comments “unfathomable”.

This is abhorrent and should be called out by Australia’s PM. But crickets so far from Albo?

In 2019 on a govt innovation tour I was presented with an opportunity to meet and take a selfie with Netanyahu. Not only did I say no I was only one on the tour who wouldn’t shake his hand or stand for him. If you have meaningful values you prioritise them above normalising evil.

You can't fix stupid. But we can impeach and imprison it.

If I spoke critically of something abusive that India was doing in Kashmir, would you expect me to be accused of an anti-Hindu hate crime? The Magic System Of Zionism must be something special then: open.substack.com/pub/caitlinj...

Nothing says "Board of Peace" like having two founding members unable to attend the signing ceremony because they would be immediately arrested for war crimes.

This is sick👇🏼

The media's unshakeable determination to maintain that the Libs are still a party of government is endearing

2026 headlines brought to you by Woodside, Santos, Labor and the Coalition. We need to keep fossil fuels in the ground and their grifters and $$ out of politics.

Bloke autographed bombs. Investigation complete. #AusPol

Everyone without Eyes Wide Shut can see the USA is not our friend - they would only come to Australia's assistance if it was in their own self interest. AUKUS= U-SUKA Paul Keating’s words ring true theaimn.net/paul-keating...
