We are highly concerned about far-right Zionist groups within our community spreading hate and recruiting children into their violent ideology. These groups are a threat to all of us and should be called out like any racist group. @sarahschwartz.bsky.social joined SBS to condemn this event.

Quite reminiscent of "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free"

This is a great read! Zane Grey (1872-1939) virtually invented the cowboy novel and big game fishing. Late 1935, he came to Australia to sample the fishing and fell in love with the country and the fishing. He also hoped to pursue an affair with a Sydney poetess he'd corresponded with! ...

I want a state funeral for Rupert Murdoch. And what do you want for Christmas?

A horrendous report on ABC radio from a Brisbane doctor doing a second tour in Gaza with Medecins sans Frontières. She says the ceasefire is in name only, the genocide continues and the deprivation of basic food, shelter and resources means even the injured haven’t what the need to heal.

Funny you should say that. The Coalition gave up on farmers b4 the last big drought, when Australia was a tinderbox & plagues of mice were everywhere. Again, the Liberal Party had no problem following them after they'd successfully created a deadly state of putrefaction in the Murray Darling #Auspol

Shortly I'll be speaking on ABC North Queensland about this.

So #Labor agrees theyre not taking #climatechange seriously. Even though we are already feeling serious impacts. Weaklings. You don’t give up becauwe it’s difficult. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

If you haven’t seen much news about Palestine lately, it’s not because the killing stopped. Israel has reduced coverage of the genocide, killing ~250 Palestinian journalists since Oct 7th. Since the ceasefire, Israel has rejected 107 requests to bring aid into Gaza and continued attacks.

This is incredible. Just days after Labor’s new Aged Care co-payments took effect, and older people are facing being forced off supports they can no longer afford, profiteers are leaping into the sector to make a buck.

"Dr Goldie said there was something 'deeply wrong with this system' and called for more to be done to tackle #inequality and #poverty, describing the current income support payments as 'an absolute disgrace'.” #auspol thepoint.com.au/news/251104-...

Another two men from the NZYQ-affected cohort have been deported to Nauru in a process human rights advocates say is shrouded in secrecy, v @australia.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

So heartily sick of the torrent of news from the US and Europe. V. much like to see more from Indonesia, Vietnam,Malaysia,Japan,Philippines, Thailand etc.etc. The ASEAN nations (and the Pacific too). This is where our future lies. We are so uniformed when it comes to our closest neighbours.

Anglicare Australia says @tanyaplibersekmp.bsky.social's plan to give police powers to have Centrelink payments stopped for people accused of a serious crime is “completely at odds with the principles of fairness and justice”. Thank you @caitkelly.bsky.social for reporting.

“Positive talks” with the Coalition while “even the select group of environment and industry lobby groups who meet weekly with Watt to discuss EPBC reform are yet to see draft legislation”. Albanese and Watt are shitting on us, folks.

Companies and CEOs will have to accept lower profits and bonuses, says the RBA never.

Gaza has become journalism’s graveyard. Killing journalists is killing the truth If we accept that reporters die in Gaza, we pave the way for other regimes to consider the murder of journalists a normal instrument of war www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Why is it that the first thing the gutless, spendthrift coalition attacks are the people [bludgers!] relying too heavily on the government? Why are the under-taxed rich and corporations not made to pay their share, and the poor given a bloody break for a while? LNP & Ley 🖕#auspol

“I can’t stress enough the number of variables that just aren’t included. This is a minimum cost,” – Richard Denniss at estimates re National Climate Risk Assessment. “What you see in that report is the best-case scenario.” via @themandarin.bsky.social ▶️ australiainstitute.org.au/post/devasta...

This is the Ad that #Newscorpse initially pulled despite that it was already paid for by the Jewish Council of Australia. #Newscorpse deny they pulled it, saying it was delayed due to internal processes. Sounds like BS, I’m pretty sure they don’t want ppl to see it. Plz share.

UPDATE: Our ad has been pulled. While the Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun talk about freedom of speech all the time, they've decided that they won't be proceeding with our ad tomorrow. We still hope they will run our ad at a later date, because we need to broadcast the message, end the genocide!

Make fossil fuel exporters pay for the damage they are causing, not ordinary Australians nb.australiainstitute.org.au/climatedisas...

And taking the trash out on Friday afternoon too

Our Government just visited Indonesia where they repeated what they asked him just after the elections. These headlines are so damn wrong side by side on so many levels. Damn #Woodside, damn #fossilfuelczars and shame on you #ALP. #BanFossilFuelExtensions #Renewables ##ClimateCrisis

There can be NO EXCUSE for Australia giving Woodside NWS gas extension approval. Most of the toxic fossil methane gas would be exported with only a TINY profit for Australia & Australians. Gas is NOT needed & its extraction DELAYS the transition to renewables. We’re ALREADY in a climate EMERGENCY.

Today we are told that the 🍉 symbol is antisemitic Remember when Musk’s heil was described as clumsy? Nazi salute? Not antisemitic Fruit? Antisemitic The inanity of this would be funny if it weren’t so incredibly dangerous. As a Jew, this devaluing of real antisemitism scares the shit out of me.

An anti-semitism envoy who WON'T use her speech to condemn Nazis marching in the streets, sharing platforms with politicians, and bashing Aboriginal people -- but WILL strip funding from unis and arts orgs that don't silence criticism of Israel. Got it.

"Those rallies were whipped up by far-right extremists and neo-Nazis. A lot of people were warned about that. I am not in the business of doing ‘there are good people on both sides’ argument... In particular, I haven’t seen a good fascist yet." 💥👏👏👏 #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Concern over low birth rates was what the theocracy in Margaret Atwood’s Handmaid’s Tale used to come to power.

We are calling out the upcoming Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism — backed by far-right pro-Israel groups, tied to weapons lobbyists, and linked to attacks on free speech. Show your support for a boycott of the event 👉 Head to: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/08/camp...

#FascistFluffers and #Genocide supporters, #Australia - #auspol.

Statement: The Jewish Council of Australia stands with First Nations people after the cowardly Nazi attack on Camp Sovereignty. Our struggles against racism, fascism and the ongoing colonisation of this land are bound together. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.

To @albomp.bsky.social & Jillian Segal, Fucking abhorrent Nazi’s marched on our streets, attacked indigenous Australians & 20yr ongoing peaceful protest for treaty & acknowledgement of genocides. Anything? Or only synagogue doors & predominantly ‘white’ Australian heritage you stand up for? #auspol

If you see the Eureka Stockade flag today, know that Raffaello Carboni, an Italian immigrant who helped create the flag, said: "I call upon all diggers, irrespective of colour, religion or creed, to salute the Southern Cross as a refuge for all the oppressed from all nations on earth." #auspol

Sam Maiden, thanks for the complex background to Bob Katter, but he’s an adult who bears responsibility for his behaviour, and if he is so troubled by this aspect of his identity, he should get proper help and not make others carry the cost. #insiders

Beaches littered with dead bodies, from shellfish, through rays and octopuses, to a three-metre white shark. This reads like a disaster novel, but it's just the result of a change in the environment that's too big and slow for us to see until it really hits us. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

“No one is spared—no old person, no child, no woman. No human being is spared.” Why are you not ejecting genocidal #Israel's fiendish ghouls from Australia, @albomp.bsky.social ??? www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-city-... #auspol #ZionismIsWhiteSupremacy #GazaGenocide

The government’s 2035 targets will show whether Labor intends to put climate ahead of profits of coal and gas corporations, and the donations that flow from these.
