Big relief for news editors who’ve been scrounging around for day 200 of #Libspill speculation content. Now happily parking their “which donkey kicked Angus Taylor in the head” exposés for the next rainy day.

Helen Haines ask AG if change is needed at the NACC, noting “the public has heard more about the Commissioner’s conflicts of interest than findings of corruption”💥 Rowland sees no need to panic, saying the NACC is “working as intended” Working for who exactly? 🙄 #auspol

Israel has denied a 5-year-old Palestinian boy from receiving cancer treatment because his address is listed to be in Gaza. “The meaning of the ruling is to provide support for an illegal policy that, in effect, sentences sick children to death.”

If he’s not too busy being investigated for his own potential misconduct (for the second time!) we should get Major General Paul Brereton, head of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (lol!) to look into this.

Sophie Scamps MP: "At the very time the Government is welcoming President Herzog into Parliament House, with the entrance being officially lined with Israeli flags, Israel is moving to extend the illegal occupation of the West Bank thus undermining the hope for a two-state solution."

“Four of my children just evaporated,” Badran said, holding back tears. “I looked for them a million times. Not a piece was left. Where did they go?” There are no words to adequately describe the evil here.

No more illusions: people everywhere are waking up to the harsh reality of what Israel really is.....👏👏👏👏👏

Tense scenes at Parliament House as Albo asks MPs to volunteer a baby so that esteemed guest Isaac Herzog can demonstrate how Aussie-made bomb bay parts are helping Israel kill brown babies in Gaza

I've covered a lot of protests: Save Albert Park, Richmond Secondary College, the 98 waterfront dispute. Some were rugged affairs. Shields, batons, horses. But I don't remember punching. 3 or 4 officers laying into a pinned victim with fists. Without uniforms, there'd be jail terms.

Fucking grim

Just discovered $3 billion in extra nuclear sub spending between May and December $15.4B → $18.6B Where's the $3 billion going? Defence: "Take it on notice" That's enough money to build 10,000s public homes but for Defence it's pocket change they lost down back of the couch.

900,000 times I can forgive, but

Desperately trying to remember which journo (?) thought it was invented by Dan Andrews fans

This is starting to get like universal basic income where every single objective study shows the same result but the people who don't like that result go "uh, well there's just really no way to know"

CCTV footage shows Israeli bombardment of Palestinian civilians on Salah al-Din Street in central Gaza today, killing two people.

Crikey was on the ground at the Sydney protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. We captured the confusion about how and where protesters should leave the rally, beginning with a heated discussion between NSW Police and NSW Greens MPs.

Due to a terrible misunderstanding I’ve been wasting all this time cohering to the socials

So @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social wants us to consider the full context before judging videos of police brutality online. Ok, let’s zoom out

Huh. Almost like absolutely everyone saw this coming from the minute the government invited the Israeli head of state and told Sydneysiders they couldn't protest about it. Another win for Social Cohesion™

A content warning for very, very significant police violence on this video: Israeli President Herzog is visiting Australia, and police in New South Wales are violently bashing prone protesters. The media is framing it in completely neutral terms. Watch the video, then look at the headlines.

Something to bear in mind while you watch footage of NSW police bashing protesters. Via SMH
