The Trump administration must be told clearly Australia will not harbour international criminals. And while we are at it, tell Washington we are imposing economic, cultural, educational and other sanctions on Israel.@BarnsGreg #auspol #USpolitics #ICC

“The Australian government cannot just sit on its hands, issuing a kind of global get-well card hoping that everything ends as best it can.” - Allan Behm, Advisor, International & Security Affairs Program, The Australia Institute Read Allan’s full piece on The Point: thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

‘The worst excesses of human nature cannot be eradicated, like a disease we cannot yet cure. But with civic determination & good government, they can be treated & managed. It takes optimism, diligence & determination – not giving up.’ Vale Ian Reinecke. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Interesting that Hitler banned the Red Cross from visiting the concentration camps

No statement from Australia as Israel does whatever it wants . No other state in the world has ever banned Doctors Without Borders. Thoughts Penny Wong ? We invite Herzog to Australia who should know arrival be investigated for his part in genocide.

This explicit celebration of death went unremarked, although clearly an incitement to violence .

The Bondi massacre, antisemitism and criticism of Israel have become tightly entangled in public debate. Context matters if fear is not to harden into blame, writes Jack Waterford. #auspol #Bondi #antisemitism #MiddleEast #media

Albo blamefest should now be derailed (probably won't be) - due to revelations Bondi Shooter bought 3 shotguns, from same gun store, but raised no red flag. @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social #auspol michaelwest.com.au/bondi-traged...

OPINION @juliannes.bsky.social “There, standing at the front of the crowd, surrounded by besuited security personnel & journalists, were two of the most egregious opportunists ever to be elected to the Australian parliament – Pauline Hanson & Barnaby Joyce.” #Bondi #auspol shorturl.at/7xrVN

Seventy people living near and working in factories around Ogijo volunteered to have their blood tested by The New York Times and The Examination, a nonprofit newsroom that investigates global health. Seven out of 10 had harmful levels of lead. Every worker had been poisoned.

We are fortunate to have such leaders who show us the most humane and legally responsible way to now take action on Israel . We certainly cannot rely on our government unless pushed and confronted with their obligations

Nothing “started” on 7 October 2023, despite strenuous efforts to decontextualise and de-historicise the attack. The only unique aspect to these events is that the Palestinians initiated a breakout from what has long been called a concentration camp.@Iranalyst #auspol #Palestine

Albanese and Rudd sold out freedom of the press this week johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10... My piece on the appalling lack of push back by Australia on the banning of @abcnewsbot.bsky.social John Lyons

The Trump plan is likely to create an equivalent of Area C of the West Bank-- a largely Palestinian-free zone-- on roughly half of Gaza. Settlements aren't inevitable but given the US track record on settlements, it's easy to see why Smotrich is confident jewishcurrents.org/what-israeli...

Such insight , analysis and great journalism - much needed in understanding the need for urgent justice for Palestinians to bring peace to this near 80 years of occupation, displacement and now genocide which the world watched, including Australia

As the evidence tells us - at least 20,000!children killed, 10,000 orphaned and more permanently disabled . Horrifying with a classroom of children killed everyday for 2 years

Ms. Rachel calls out Barack Obama's statement on Gaza, highlighting how referring to 'Israeli families' while calling Palestinians 'the people of Gaza' strips them of their humanity. 'Palestinians have families, too,' she wrote.

A thoughtful and insightful perspective

Justice for Latouff - now for justice for the people of Palestine Denied a proper voice by the MSM including the ABC until more recently after starvation and genocide acknowledged and cannot be denied

Such a powerfully accurate statement

In this case, pointing the finger does little but stoke fear and forestall action. Iran may be Israel’s bogey, and it’s hardly an admirable state. But it’s Israel that’s been dropping the bombs. #auspol #Israel #Iran

Francesca Albanese dismisses 🇺🇸 sanctions against her— “It’s ok” “This is not a sign of strength” “It’s a sign of guilt” “I will stand tall like millions of others” “We must bring this genocide in Gaza 🇵🇸 to an end”

And so the slaughter goes on and the justifications endlessly careless and speculative

I don’t know about you, but seeing these three together makes me feel a whole lot less safe. Marles handing over our cash with the same rote lines about shared history and values, and the other two grinning like cats about to eat a mouse. Time to end AUKUS and save us from this.

Today I join other cartoonists in action, solidarity and hope that these atrocities will end v soon. #CartoonistsForG4za

Clarity again from Greg Barns. Australia can and must do a lot more to make its opposition to genocide and war crimes

A great turnout . Estimated 4,000 . Time for real action by our government
