I asked about how police treat First Nations (and Palestine) rallies as threats to control, not communities to protect. We saw the dangerous result of this in Boorloo. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner confirms she is speaking to police about this.

Same! Next election will be very interesting 🤔

2/ State capture is a type of systematic corruption whereby narrow interest groups take control of institutions & processes through which public policy is made, directing public policy away from public interest & instead shaping it to serve their own interests. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

🤥@australianlabor.bsky.social I don't share any values with you or Israel. I'm not part of your murderous rapacious "family" or its "values". No human supports theft, starvation & murder or your lies & gaslighting b/c we know Israeli colonisation by remorseless genocide began in 1946 not 2023.🤢

It sounds like Chris Minns is threatening state violence against any Australians who protest Herzog the genocidal maniac being feted like visiting monarchy (a grotesque spectacle in itself) Solidarity with NSW comrades who will stand up to his fascist threats today.

Labor will regret this, after the nationwide marches planned Unless they’re planning on arresting him on arrival (very doubtful) they should be punished at the next election Shame!!

2/ If it doesn't make sense then it's a lie & a whopper at that. His speech & actions allegedly say he does not support AU cultural values or its multiculturalism. He does not support a Voice for Aborigines. He does not support AUs secular civil society or implement sane security & safety measures+

78 yrs. Celebrated when Labor kicked out Dutton May 2025. Less than a year ago. Expected to see reform to the tax system to address growing inequality, climate change, housing (NG & CGT), AirBandB, NACC dud, AUKUS…… Shocked at Segal Israel Regime suppression of citizens rights. #auspol

Albo and Cris Minns need to pull their heads in. They’re setting this up to be a complete shitfight for the sake of promoting a genocidal head of state who has fuckall to do with what happened in Bondi to Australian citizen. Herzog should be arrested on sight, not the people expressing their disgust

I doubt Obama needed us to rally around him, but I sure needed to.

Queensland could become the first state in Australia to outlaw the phrases “from the river to the sea”, and “globalise the intifada,” under sweeping new hate speech reforms announced by the state government. You know what to do.

So apparently soon I could face up to TWO YEARS in jail for political art that says “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” if someone "takes offence". This is what Crisafulli is proposing in QLD. Acceptable speech is narrowing in real time. And it's fckn terrifying.

In 2022, Labor polled 32% of the primary vote. In 2025 it was 34%. Preferential voting does the heavy lifting. It will be interesting, in light of all the things happening in the country, like appointing a Zionist as anti-semitism envoy which we didn't vote on, is going to affect 2028.

Spot on. Appeasement to genocidal Israel isn't a normative value. Holocaust an abomination against Jews and others. What difference when you target children with snipers, women & children queuing for food. Illegal settlements. It is a Palestinian holocaust and where is Labor's objection to it?

IIRC I don't know how to stop my vote going to Labor. Doesn't it have to end up with either Lab or Lib? I don't want either but can't see it not going there even if penultimate to Libs.
