Nuclear weapons are banned in Australia by international treaty. How is the govt going to slide around this one, backslide on Hawke and Keating disarmament deal? @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social & Philip Dorling investigate #auspol #foi michaelwest.com.au/government-p...

Nuclear word games! From 2032 US Virginia subs will carry nuclear cruise missiles. The Rarotonga Treaty prohibits nuclear weapon carrying subs from being “stationed” here. Our Govt is saying US subs won’t be “stationed” here, they’re just a “rotational force” #auspol

Several countries have demanded Israel be removed, threatening to drop out of the competition.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Move follows news investigation in August revealing Israel was using Microsoft’s services to spy on Palestinians.

What a terrible speech since when have Palestinians shown hate when Zionist constantly demonstrate their vile hatred across social media. My contempt for Labor grows daily complicit ministers and spineless backbenchers.

Rosatom has agreed to build new reactors with total capacity of 5GW in the southern Hormozgan province.

He just lies and lies and lies. And then racism. And then more lies. You'd have to be the thickest pricks to be buying this schtick right now. Also, please tell me Australia walked out...... 👀

Here's me. "The Yanks are cooked (and cooking the rest of us)"

nb.australiainstitute.org.au/newsletter?r... This organisation does research and keeps abreast of all the reports published that give a picture of where Aus is and where it’s going. As such they are able to speak for instance to the senate environment committee, and so to govt. Aus NEEDS this.

“Every year we leave the Cop depressed, but we will begrudgingly continue to participate because if we’re not at the table we’ll be on the menu” Exactly. Australian political & media class obsess about whether we get to host the next Cop. But fail to recognize the hypocrisy of a fossil-fueled govt.

"We did not stop the Holocaust. We did not stop the genocide in Rwanda. We did not stop the genocide in Srebrenica. We must stop the genocide in Gaza. There are no excuses anymore. None." - President of Slovenia Natasa Pirc Musar.

Happy Birthday to the wonderful human @markhamillofficial.bsky.social. Thank you for speaking out on issues of human rights and justice, and speaking against tyranny. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful anecdotes re film-making. The Force will be with you. Always. 🙏 🎂 #MarkHamill

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s flight to the US took a circuitous route in an apparent effort to avoid countries that could enforce an outstanding arrest warrant against him for alleged war crimes. https://cnn.it/46ENKMT

Trump's problems with the escalator and tele-prompter at the UN were both caused by White House staffers! An official videographer who ran ahead of the President accidentally triggered the stop mechanism on the escalator! And the tele-prompter was being operated by a Trump staffer! #USPolitics

youtube.com/watch?v=g2L7... This is a great speech.But not tough enough on Israel.IMO there is no hope for a Zionist state like Israel in the future.They have forfeited their right to the land they occupy.In factI deny that they had any right at all.The Balfour act was a shameful betrayal of palstn

nb.australiainstitute.org.au/phase-out-fo... The Australian federal govt is the biggest con artist ever. Led by Albanese they are conning us about Palestine (by continuing to send money and weapons to Israel)and about climate (by continuing to open gas and coal mines). Theyhave bloodon their hands

Exclusive | The Albanese government might have recognised Palestine, but it is continuing to hand taxpayer money to Israeli companies steeped in genocide, @keanebernard.bsky.social writes.

Deakin University Professor Euan Ritchie slammed the target as "grossly inadequate" and said it would jeopardise the survival and wellbeing of Australians. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907378...

The Zionist Entity has struck the peaceful international flotilla again. After being declared a genocidal entity by the UN, when will its recognition be suspended?

Are we supposed to be impressed? Proud? This is what our foreign policy has become. Absolutely fckin ridiculous.

Hope Richard Marles is having a nice day

Kind of suggests that if Antoinette Lattouf had only made her post (about starvation as a tool of war) funny, the ABC wouldn't have caved to the Israel lobby and sacked her.

The point to be drawn by the average US citizen is: YOU DON’T MATTER. Trump doesn’t care about you. He only cares for himself and his rich buddies. You will be wretched and poor by the end of his presidency and you may possibly be either in jail or dead. HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT YOU! I’m Sorry for you

I think the people of America must be totally embarrassed by the clown president they have chosen. His speech at UNGA was ridiculous. The way he talked about the atmosphere over US and China?A child in 4th grade could have done it more clearly, but WOULDN’T because it was utterly IDIOTIC!! He’s nuts

Australia. Islamophobia. michaelwest.com.au/islamophobia...

Mary Robinson: "The United States is complicit in this famine and unfolding genocide, & its on [Trumps] watch" "President Trump complicit in genocide says Mary Robinson?" "Yes"

Justice Rangiah in his own words in Lattouf v ABC penalty decision. The broadcaster has been ordered to pay $150,000. I was previously awarded $70,000 for hurt and distress. ABC has spent in excess of $2 million on legal fees. The real cost to Aunty is immeasurable.

I really don’t know why you Americans put up with Trump. You do know I hope that the whole world is laughing at you and him. You hav given an ass the power to start a nuclear war, to further compound climate catastrophe. And you claim to be EXCEPTIONAL? Exceptionally hubristic but actually dumb.

Just a reminder that no politician or bureaucrat has ever faced any charges for Robodebt

youtube.com/shorts/ZPDo7... I don’t know this guy. Maybe you yanks do. He said he speaks to 7 million people. But I can feel his embarrassment at the speech his president gave at the UNGA. He says “sorry” at the end. Electing Trump was a mistake. I hope you Americans will correct that real soon.

Media hyperventilating over a non-event not happening, - Albo sitting down with Trump - misses the point, America believes it already owns us. @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social fears it is right. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/the-albo-and...

“I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.” I don’t think he’s ever been quite this explicit about his extortion.

People in leadership roles who side with capitalist climate killers should lose their jobs. They won’t really suffer. They will just get a very special job with the capitalist climate killer they have secretly been working for all along. But we the people will still have been f**ked.

MEDIA RELEASE: SA Premier spreads gas industry misinformation Premier Peter Malinauskas told an event sponsored by the gas lobby that a new gas project in Narrabri, NSW, is needed to firm up SA's electricity supply. Our research, using the government’s own data, proves this is simply not true.

The people who helped expose the Coalitions ‘crude and cruel’ robodebt scheme

A protest group on a flotilla of vessels headed for the shores of the Gaza Strip carrying humanitarian aid said that its communications had been jammed, drones had flown overhead and attacked, and that explosions were heard from some boats.

Don't ban it - tax the living shit out of it to weed out the companies whose revenue model is based on addiction. Start at 60 cents in the dollar of *revenue*, increasing annually by 5 cents until the problem doesn't have external costs that the tax doesn't cover. It'll stop before it gets to 100.

New data reveals that around 3 million Australians are engaged in some form of harmful gambling, which is linked to financial stress, family violence and poor mental health.

"The ABC let down the Australian public badly when it abjectly surrendered the rights of its employee Ms Lattouf to appease a lobby group." Justice Rangiah said. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

What a debacle by the ABC. Its craven capitulation to shady lobbyists acting for a genocidal foreign state besmirched the reputation of a principled journalist, cost the Australian taxpayer close to $500K in damages & legal costs and further trashed the public broadcaster’s reputation.

Some of us do.

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

youtube.com/shorts/CHLXJ... This is OBSCENE! These Australian doctors delivered a baby by C section from a beheaded woman injured by Israeli attack. How can this continue? Australia MUST stop supporting Israel by sending weapons parts. MUST expel Israel ambassador. MUST withdraw our ambassador.
