#auspol What's the story with the flags? I can see the flag of Germany with the disc as if from the Aboriginal Flag in the center. There are other Pan-African flags also with the disc as if from the Aboriginal Flag in the center. This dilutes the meaning of the flags theaimn.net/invasion-day...

#auspol New concept of the day: instrumental philosemitism "This new wave of Philosemitism is not a genuine and sincere positioning, but a strategic tool used by the far‑right in order to present itself as liberal and mainstream" Seeing Jews as pro‑Israel and anti‑Muslim icsr.info/2020/11/10/t...

#auspol The Nexus definition of antisemitism was a response to the Heritage Foundations' Project Esther nexusproject.us/nexus-resour... The Nexus definition is compatible with democracy and human rights. It is important to be aware that there are "bad faith" actors trying to undermine democracy

#auspol This definition of antisemitism derives from a White Paper drafted by the Nexus Task Force, which examines the issues at the nexus of antisemitism and Israel in American politics. The definition is designed as a guide for policymakers and community leaders nexusproject.us/nexus-resour...

Can the United Nations administration and organisation be moved out of the United States? Could it be moved to Canada, or perhaps Europe? What about Singapore and southern Malaysia?

Australia needs to disengage from Trump and the USA and start working more closely with Canada. Very insightful speech by Prime Minister Carney. #auspol (Our mob is quite embarrassing by comparison) globalnews.ca/news/1162087...

#auspol Gun Buyback law: -ASIO Act 1979 Insertion of new sections 92E, 92F and 92G -ASIO can now operate primarily through AI algorithms -Foreign nations (USA) thru proprietary companies (Palantir) will control the data and AI -AU loses sovereignty of ASIO -ASIO acts against citizens and its agents

#auspol Split bill for Firearm amendments contains the changes to ASIO Act. Starting at p32 in Bill Starting at Paragraph 353 of the MU PDF page number 101 This is a truly shameful exercise of attempted concealment of these massive changes. Shame on the ALP Eternal shame on Albanese and Burke

#auspol The Attorney General in reading the Hate Bill in Parliament, makes the point repeatedly that the law applies to protect IMMUTABLE aspects of a person's identity - race, colour, national or ethnic origin. It explicitly excludes religion as a basis for discrimination, excluding Islamophobia

#auspol Here are two more pages of the Explanatory Memorandum for the Hate Speech Bill relating to enabling the use of AI or Palantir for ASIO assessments Note these are general powers that would be introduced in the gun buyback and assessment parts of the Bill. The scope for use of AI is general

#auspol Here are details from the Hate Speech Bill about the changes to the ASIO Act that allow ASIO to use AI and potentially Palantir to make general security assessments of people. These powers are not limited to the guns buyback or assessments, They are general. #935 - they remain secret

Spy company Palantir has won top-level Australian govt security clearance despite involvement in Gaza genocide. @sstephanietrann.bsky.social investigates #auspol michaelwest.com.au/we-kill-enem...

Burke said he wishes the government was “going harder” on hate speech "In this moment Australia has a chance to respond more loudly than the evil of the terrorists and to simply say they don’t speak for us. Our voice is: you are welcome here forever, we will make it safe" Terrorists speak of evil

#auspol WOW! Check out Submission 145 of the Hate Bill by the IGIS. The proposed Hate Bill is intended so that it "may arrange for the use of computer programs to take specified criminal intelligence assessment action" They want AI, maybe even Palantir as is done in Israel, to determine criminals

From the Voice to the Hate Bill: colonial categories in a liberal democracy #auspol

#auspol Very interesting watching the Public Hearing with Peter Wertheim. At the start he claims Jewishness is based on race (immutable), but denies that Muslims have a claim to race (religious choice -mutable) Later, he claims Jewishness is cultural (mutable) www.aph.gov.au/News_and_Eve...

Albanese is still trying to get something passed on Tuesday to save face With all the submissions on the proposed gun laws - even that part of the Hate Bill is ill-conceived and needs to be worked through with the community and experts over a suitable time frame www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Regarding the proposed Hate Bill being introduced into Parliament next week, it is instructive to see the attitudes driving much of this Note that the JDA builds on the IHRA. Balanced: Submission 44 See why IHRA is promoted: Sub 52 Main influencers: Sub 124 #auspol www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...

Many organisations in submissions to the proposed Hate Laws have referred to the National Anti-Racism Framework which was released in 2024 as a suitable framework for tackling racism in Australian society. #auspol humanrights.gov.au/resource-hub...

Roy Morgan has the Coalition primary vote above ALP. Let's see how the numbers move after the sitting next week & Albo's performance. There is plenty of time for a new PM to settle in before the next election. Go for it, Jim! #auspol @jimchalmers.bsky.social www.pollbludger.net/2026/01/13/f...

#auspol Albo's honeymoon is well and truly over. Polls dived. The infatuation is seen for what it was - and oh my God - what do we have for a PM? "Unsalvageable!" The sitting next week is not going to foster social cohesion. Jim Chalmers for PM! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Sad that we have to consider the ALP has moved to the far-right of the political spectrum, and joined the MAGA mob with Trump At the federal level - AUKUS and this Hate Bill trashing our democracy & sovereignty At the state level we have the NSW and now the SA Premier trashing our norms #auspol

'Risk of unintended consequences': Faith leaders call for pause in hate speech laws

"Australia is told [of] an unprecedented wave of antisemitism, a crisis requiring extraordinary measures, including a Royal Commission. But police data, court findings, and parliamentary evidence tell a very different story" #auspol michaelwest.com.au/antisemitism...

The JDA definition of antisemitism as an alternative to the IHRA. The Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism (JDA) is a tool to identify, confront and raise awareness about antisemitism as it manifests in countries around the world today. #auspol jerusalemdeclaration.org

Happy New Year! Let's hope that 2026 will bring some positive changes that will see our democracies regroup and rebuild.

Killing services for the Australian people to pay for the outrageous AUKUS and associated support for building US military bases in Australia - is not what anyone would expect from a party that once had Whitlam as it's leader. www.afr.com/policy/econo...

Interesting spin on the reserve powers. But it would be expected from the current Labor Prime Minister. The Liberals with Joh did break conventions to block supply. But the dismissal and reserve powers are completely within the conventions of Westminster systems. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/11...

Watch the Premier's body language in the video when he claims that he didn't know about this protest in advance. He likes using known frauds and pissant foot soldiers to bring in authoritarian laws. He is very good at manipulating the media. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

Worth reading for a better understanding of the likes of Thiel and the Silicon Valley far-right fascists. We need to protect the earth, each other, and our democracies like a mother protecting her children. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Is this guy deliberately sprouting nonsense in these private lectures (that he a liberal or an orthodox christian, for example) in an attempt to advertise a position he has vacant within his suite of companies for - someone he can dress up as an antichrist? www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Turning human subjects with lives, hopes, families, into faceless data points - pure objects for surveillance and manipulation - and then elimination. The ultimate kind of colonialism - utterly dehumanising people and turning human subjects into remote data objects. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/o...

The Victorian Government has apparently recently engaged again with Palantir. "More recently, in September 2025, new job listings from Victoria’s Department of Justice and Community indicated a revival of the state’s relationship with Palantir..." www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

www.abc.net.au/news/2024-02... An article 18 months ago about Palantir being used by Coles. Coles will use these databases to monitor every movement of Coles staff and customers, surveillance at every step. Palantir is a key technology used to enable the genocide in Gaza. Reconsider Coles

Never split the difference. The fascists are going halves each way to stir up some Murdoch media primetime. Maybe Minns will use this to have a second shot at unconstitutional laws to attack our democracy. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
