I have a question for @tonyburkemp.bsky.social. Have any of the Australian women currently trapped in Syria been accused of sniping kids in the head for sport, raping hostages to death, or firing 335 bullets into a car to murder a 6yo girl who'd survived the original attack? Please advise.

Pauline Hanson has spent decades demonising Muslims in the Senate with zero consequences, but put an anti-fascist poster on your bar wall and the AFP comes knocking. Labor's first scalp under their hate speech laws isn't a hate group and that says everything.

Trump just jacked up tariffs against Australia by 50% (from 10 to 15%) as a late night reflex action to the Supreme Court decision. We matter so little in his world view. Can we stop pretending now, not a friend, not an ally.

Every day an unplanned chaotic return is the alternative to coordinated government action, the dangers increase, as the last 24 hours has proven. Ultimately humanity keeps societies far safer than fear.

As Save the Children said: “Australians should never be left without a safe or viable pathway home. These innocent children have already lost years of their childhood, and deserve the chance to rebuild their lives in safety at home, and to reintegrate into the Australian way of life.”

Australian children are trapped in a Syria in dreadful danger. At this time Save the Children have shown more leadership, decency and humanity than every Australian media outlet and every member of the Lib/Labor/PHON parties combined. Thank you to them.

Turns out smashing your own people with super aggressive policing, anti-protest laws and appalling political attacks is not sustainable for Chris Minns. Thousands opposing a genocide on Sydney’s streets were on the right side of history and this back down by Minns proves it.

Australians are unknowingly funding Russia's war machine every time they fill up with petrol. Witnesses from Australia's Ukrainian community to the Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on Russians Sanctions are calling on the government to close the loophole — let's do it now!

The Greens warned the hate laws were biased and would target the wrong people. It took less than a month for police to raid Dissent Bar and prove every concern right. Laws supposedly about antisemitism are being used against anti-fascists.

A foreign apartheid genocidal state that sides with U.S Trump/maga pro pedophile run fascism, taking over Australian Universities - a white nationalist ideology direct undermining of Australia's democracy and way of peaceful multicultural life. This hasnt even happened in the U.S under Trump #auspol

To the surprise of many, the "beach nation" that is Australia is the best moguls skiing nation on earth. How they got there is no accident.

You can not take citizenship from an Australian citizen. The high court has made it clear. If you are Australian, you are allowed entry into Australia. Doesn’t mean authorities won’t follow up or monitor you, but short of a complete border closure, you can’t be denied entry.

Australia does not just have a weak opposition – it has a dangerous absence of scrutiny. Without effective challenge, secrecy grows, accountability fades and executive power goes unchecked, Jack Waterford writes. #auspol #Democracy #Accountability #Parliament

These "Australian values" sound pretty good! Especially the bits about "freedom of speech", "freedonm of religion", "mutual respect", "tolerance" and "compassion for those in need" ... wonder if we can get some of our state premiers to sign up
