People who paid pure lip-service to a Royal Commission's findings suggesting we need a Royal Commission. Glorious. Stick it on the front page.

Whenever Jews anywhere in the world are subjected to an attack or a threat, Israel, along with a wide network of political and media supporters, is quick to frame the incident as a direct extension of historical #antisemitism. Refaat Ibrahim. #auspol #Israel #Gaza

Saved lives *and* screwed Sky News? Put down your glasses, we have found the Australian of the Year

I follow the lead of the Jewish Council of Australia & The Jewish Voice and I deplore the suffering the extreme far right Government of Israel has brought upon the people of Palestine & other communities they have interfered with in their region and throughout the World. www.jewishcouncil.com.au

Israel becomes the first country in the world to ban the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders. Let that sink in. File under "Things you do when you are committing genocide"...

I probably committed a thought crime in NSW but fuck it Maybe what 2024 NYE could have looked like #NYE

Bloody America has been bombing Somalia for the past year. . . Now, why would that be. . . Israel might have found somewhere to dump Palestinians www.councilestatemedia.uk/p/israel-mig...

BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…” Read that again.

Does The Ghost of Anthony Albanese Past Who Grew Up In Public Housing visit him every Christmas Eve?

Merry Christmas from the White house...

In December 2023, Isaac Herzog was pictured signing bombs to be dropped on the men, women & children including babies of Gaza. In December 2025, the prime minister of Australia @albomp.bsky.social invited Isaac Herzog to visit with him in Australia. There is no saving @australianlabor.bsky.social.

This disastrous institution still abuses children. Of course they will try to escape. It should have been shut down years ago.

If you want to have fun, go back a read the speeches by Liberal MPs during the Racial Discrimination Act 18C debates eg "If we have the state regulating our speech, you also have the state regulating our thought, and I think that looks a lot like 1984". parlinfo.aph.gov.au/parlInfo/sea...

In the latest series of Who Do You Think You Are Australia? three prominent Australians discover shocking revelations about their past selves, including that they opposed strengthening measures against racial vilification #auspol

Taking bets on how many more people involved in unlawful welfare penalties are gonna lose their jobs before the government finally grows a spine and stops suspending Centrelink payments.

This report ends with Mr lehrmann has always denied raping miss Higgins. Why not end it with miss Higgins has always maintained she was raped by Mr lerhmann www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

The Advent hymn hasn’t changed. The world has. David O’Halloran asks what it now means to sing “Israel” in 2025 – and what faith, politics and moral responsibility demand today. @dvdhlo.bsky.social #FaithAndPolitics #Advent #Theology #IsraelPalestine

And...the Nth West Tugboats, they are not going to get a berth at the new Devonport Ferry Terminal, they are not fit for Nth West weather & water conditions. #politas #Tasports #Tasmania

When your strange sibling mortgages their outer suburban house to buy a second hand Lamborghini.

Lolwtf?!?!!! How is it that we have built 4 brand new boats in total for Devonport and not a single one has been suitable for BEING IN DEVONPORT?! Was there nobody who thought to ask an expert before commissioning them?!?!

Only a handful of people benefit from our current system. It is time to wake up and tear it down.

If you watch nothing else today, this would be enough.

Terrific

SO important. Britain is even more obliged to support refugees due to the havoc it wreaked - and continues to wreak - through its imperial project. This cannot be left out of the narrative. (credit: @haringeywelcome.bsky.social)

we really gotta get rid of this woeful Morrison government somehow

A smart govt - or even one with a PM who had a desire to do anything - would be using the LNP rabble to put in place every fucking thing they wanted. Problem is Albanese doesn’t seem to want anything other than power.

Every dollar that the Feds refuse to spend on their primary health, aged care and NDIS responsibilities leads to somewhere between $1.40 and $7.50 of expenditure required in the hospital system because of that $1.00 decision, depending upon the hospital. This is not new. We already know this.

Lobster fishery off Bruny Island in TAS closed on eve of the opening of fishing season due to antibiotic use by the salmon farms. No indication of how long for. Must be a devastating blow for fishermen approaching Xmas.

What has happened to our natural desire to be curious, helpful and fair. Please read. Do you recognise yourself - digital outrage, short attention span, performative fairness …. I know I recognised myself We can fight back open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...

Accurate.

Nothing like a proposal for a modest amount of lower-income housing nearby to find out who your neighbors are.

Another eight cormorants have been found dead at a #salmon farm in #Tasmania. The wildlife toll at one lease of 43 birds and two seals in 2025 far exceeds the maximum limit set by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council of nine deaths over two years. #politas ▶️ tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/tasmani...

Robodebt was a mass deception based on a cruel bet: that people on income support would simply give up and pay debts they didn't owe. Today I tabled a petition from Kath Madgwick and Jenny Miller calling for those responsible to finally be held accountable.

Men making $100,000/hr have convinced those making $30/hr that the people making $7/hr are the problem.

This latest update on my website considers the 2024/25 Hydro Tasmania annual report- what does it tell us - especially when the State is facing a financial crisis? ruthforrest.com.au/opinion/hydr... #scrutiny #transparency #politas #GovernmentBusiness #FinancialReports #economy

"...it is important to note what a government does to refugees because it shows what they will do to citizens, given the chance. Around the world, more and more people are realising that the same is true of Palestinians." Raise the double standard high johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

Tasmania's Integrity Commission has a code of conduct that bans former parliamentary secretaries and ministers from lobbying on matters they dealt with in the year before they left office. Now an ex-MP turned lobbyist sparks call for a new law. #politas tasmanianinquirer.com.au/news/ex-libe...
