We need to "isolate antisemitism from anti-Zionism from anti-Netanyahu sentiment. They are separate issues." Laura Tingle says what few in the media will. But Herzog, the Israel lobby and the political & media class are deliberately promoting that confusion. #auspol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The public is recoiling! Inviting Herzog is the last straw. An inexcusable error of judgement from our Labor "leaders". We need changes at the helm. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

"Recent antisemitism definitions require, by implication, respect be given to Zionist aspirations, not Jewish moral code." A critical distinction that the Israel lobby works hard to obscure. That confusion is embedded in Jillian Segal's dangerous 'plan'. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

A post from 2019. We’ve been betrayed 😞😞 #auspol

It's time for the Australian Government to admit we can’t insure our way out of the climate crisis. It's impossible to get insurance against likely events, and climate disasters are becoming more and more frequent. It's time to make polluters pay for the damage. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social

Helicopters, metal detectors, snipers on roofs in Bondi?? Australia feeling really socially cohesive right now, so glad the government decided to make that a priority 🫠

Well, this is interesting! The U.S. Attorney’s Office had a draft statement announcing Jeffrey Epstein’s “suicide” dated August 9, 2019. He didn’t die until August 10. Totally normal. Nothing to see here.

Netanyahu will be pleased. …another useful idiot recruited DownUnder #auspol

After one formal finding of misconduct and this new investigation into potential misconduct, at what point will the Commissioner do the right thing and resign?

-Cop grabs guy with his hands up by the shirt -Cop trips over his own bike, dragging guy with him by his bag -Other cops start viciously *punching* guy as the unco bike cop drags him along? Would almost be funny if it wasn't so disgusting. Psychos.

Pepper spray, assault rifles, storm troopers & snipers deployed on the streets of Sydney. Goons enthusiastically assaulting & beating up peaceful protestors. This is down to you @albomp.bsky.social & @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social You have shattered "Social Cohesion". Shame on you both! 🇭🇲🦘🤠 #auspol

Old enough to remember when @senatorwong.bsky.social was a principled politician. …was! #auspol

As much as @albomp.bsky.social @tonyburkemp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social may arrogantly think they’re safe at the polls (in absence of a palatable opposition) many voters will desert ALP over its morally repugnant decision to invite Herzog to Australia #auspol

Saddened to hear the news that Australian cartoonist Jon Kudelka @kudelka.bsky.social has passed. A good man. 😢 🎨 #auspol

We've shut down the busiest pedestrian intersection in Naarm/Melbourne because our government invited a genocidal war criminal to our country

Australia handed @albomp.bsky.social @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt a once in a generation mandate (partly because it was least worst of the major parties). If its underwhelming centrist agenda wasn’t enough to erode support - being Netanyahu’s useful idiots has been its defining moment #auspol

Chris Minns and Albo are both in for a rude awakening if they think we will blithely cower to these draconian anti-protest laws. We've all been watching the US descend into authoritarian nightmare and we're not going to let our government do the same to us.

"It is outrageous and destructive...that a Labor Prime Minister would invite a war criminal like Herzog to our shore. He is the criminal head of a criminal state. Albanese brings shame to...the party that had a vision of "a light on the hill". Hear, hear! #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

So apt! #auspol substack.com/@rawstory/no...

"Doing something comes with risk. But so does doing nothing." Can't say you weren't warned, @albomp.bsky.social Great piece from Zoe Daniel. #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

"Just as we abandoned our national self-image of White Australia, any genuine solution requires Israeli Jews to abandon their idea of permanent supremacy." But we have still a long way to go here before we hold ourselves up as models of peaceful coexistence. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

Australian media, you're standing in it

Ring a bell? #auspol

Untying antisemitism from anti-Israel sentiment will take political courage. It's time our leaders stopped knee-jerking and clearly articulated that these two issues are not the same. Start leading public opinion, not slavishly following the loudest agitators. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

We can thank Bannon and Palmer for the disaster of the Morrison government. But Labor is not much better - funded by big-money vested interests. We need more independents. #auspol Did Steve Bannon stop Labor winning in 2019? www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/politic... via @thesaturdaypaper.com.au

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy.

"This ‘one sided’ comment acknowledges the outrage ...following the murder of 15 citizens on Bondi, but that the Australian public & every politician should recall that 7 times the number killed in Bondi have been killed every day in Gaza for the last 2 years."

"Our society simply no longer judges schools according to their merit but, rather, according to the social status of the children they teach," writes Jane Caro. satpa.pe/FSQK9Pl

"Albanese's instinct is often to make the announcement and 'leave the hard yards to others'." #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

Epstein had to be an agent. Someone funded his lavish lifestyle - Mossad, the Kremlin? And I'm sure he didn't kill himself. Who most benefited from his disappearance? It will make a great streaming series - a real life "House of Cards". #Epstein www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

"Australian state and federal govts take approx 30% of fossil fuel companies' profits, through a combination of corporate tax, royalties, and Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. This compares with 75-90% that other major fossil fuel exporting countries take." #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

Alan Kohler always makes economics intelligible to me, #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Labor has invited the head of the country that is still doing this to millions of occupied people for a state visit - it’s hard to believe really.

Impressive! Can our @jimchalmers.bsky.social take this on? #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

So maybe if the guy in Perth had signed the bomb before he threw it…. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Marching for peace is dangerous, but apparently genocide is no problem

Have any AUS politicians expressed concern re the attempted bombing of the #InvasionDay rally in Boorloo (Perth) on 26Jan?! Condemned the act? Declared love or solidarity with Indigenous people? Imagine the response if a synagogue was attacked. Or the perpetrator was brown or Muslim. #auspol #racism

This ABC News headline sounds like a One Nation ad. #auspol #journalism

The double standard is disgusting. Sorry to say it, but compare the coverage of this event with that of eg the Dural caravan hoax. Unlike that, this was a REAL bomb thrown into a large crowd of REAL people, intended to cause REAL harm. I was there, at the front, & feel lucky to be unharmed. #Auspol

"Though the great Albo silence may have minimised risk, it has also hurt Australia." The first evidence of this was the damage done by the Voice debate, which he left others to prosecute. Sadly, Albo doesn't seem to have the ticker for what his job has become. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/01...
