Just what I think when I see Frydenberg: “Here is the Gandhi of Australia!” #Auspol #FatheroftheNation #Gandhi #Frydenberg

This tragedy being used for political point scoring, political opportunism and as an excuse to curtail civil liberties is entirely sickening. On the very day of this heinous attack, a foreign war criminal was platformed on our public media humiliating and excoriating our PM! #auspol

And strangely neither those in power nor those trying to revive and relaunch their political career had anything to say about the hate these rallies are spewing, because it’s only against brown immigrants. #auspol #racism

I made a pretty delish mutter paneer to celebrate the #Ashes win! #cricket #AustraliavEngland #SundayLunch

“Never has there been a time where politics has been played so blatantly, so openly at the expense of a terrified, traumatised community and the wider nation at large.” Using a tragedy to demonise, terrorise & take away civil liberties is plain disgusting. #auspol

Linking the march across the bridge to the massacre is disgusting and everyone doing so should be deeply ashamed of their giving tacit support for genocide www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Remember when Political Correctness had Gone Mad?

If people had half David Pope’s moral clarity and a tenth of his talent we'd be ok as a society...but they don’t and we are not! #auspol #DavidPope

Frydenberg spent his career watering down hate speech laws. I’m reminded of Indian minister, Lalu Prasad Yadav, who advocated family planning as CM. When asked by a journo abt his 9 kids, Lalu replied: ‘But that was when I was in the opposition’ Tho Frydenberg isn’t witty & is more vile. #auspol

A disturbing, frankly terrifying case— yet another repeat sexual offender who has no remorse. He also tried to get out on bail by attempting to mislead the court about his medical condition & presenting flimsy excuses. #auspol #entitlement

This is the way #Meanjin ends — not with a bang but a whimper. New FOI story from me for @crikey.com.au: www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/17/m...

The wonderful David Pope with an empathetic and nuanced take as always… only wish he wasn’t affiliated with the Canberra Times. #auspol #DavidPope

I’d started making records of attacks against Asians/Muslims/poc that were not reported by Australian mainstream media but I ran out of steam within the first two weeks. There were incidents everyday, stories to be told, lives threatened or taken… #auspol #racism #MainstreamMedia

The usual suspects are using a horrific antisemitic mass Murder to prevent us from Denouncing the Israeli genocide. Brett Stephen’s the Atlantic etc. The usual suspects. Shameless

If you think Arabs, Muslims & poc have not been ‘bashed’, threatened or violated every single day, you are living in a cocoon of privilege! #racism #auspol #poc

If you're scared this tragedy will by weaponised by those pushing hatred, division & control, same. It's a pattern that can change nations. We've already seen Netanyahu claim the Muslim who charged the shooters was Jewish. Empathy, patience and truth. Everything else is unhelpful

After horrific news of senseless shootings at Brown University & Bondi, may our stumbling faith in humanity be steadied after watching this incredible act of bravery by Ahmed el Ahmed, a Sydney father who risked his own life to disarm the shooter. #auspol #Ahmed #Bondi #hero

Britain threatened to cut off ICC funding over Netanyahu arrest warrant, claims prosecutor

Forging those “shared values” that they keep droning on about. #auspol #refugees #ICE #Nauru

Schools “overspend” but defence budget “drying up”?! Right, because I’m sure the jokers who cosplay war are scrounging, scraping & working overtime while school teachers are making confetti with their generous stationery budget. #CanberraTimes #dystopia #fundEducation #auspol

In an otherwise tense week, behold our Spring courtyard. #spring #jasmine #Australia #courtyard

This time of year, I think of the lovely American woman who asked me if we celebrate Thanksgiving in India and looked very confused when I said we probably should, if only to give thanks that Columbus got lost. #Thanksgiving #colonialism #America #India #colonial #USA

For the benefit of all the spectators, I think they should just play the whole match one more time in the next 3 days! #Ashes #cricket #Perth #AusvEng #AusvsEng

Mamdani charmed Trump, who showered Mamdani with praise, while he •called out Israel’s genocide •confirmed that he called Trump a despot & a fascist •reaffirmed his socialist policies I might send a video of the meeting to Albo with a note saying ‘This is how it’s done’. #auspol #Mamdani #Albo #ALP

I absolutely adore you, Zohran Mamdani, you truly stand for light & hope! But please don’t compare freedom after colonisation with winning the NYC mayoral race! #Colonialism #India #Independence #Mamdani #Nehru

“A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new,when an age ends & when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance” Zohran Mamdani quotes Jawaharlal Nehru’s ‘Tryst with Destiny’ Speech on the eve of Indian independence #Mamdani #NYC #Nehru

No hurry. My @smh @theage cartoon.

As a historian, I can safely say that in a list of things for which history won’t forgive Tony personally & the UK more generally, this won’t even make the top 100! #colonialism #BritishEmpire #UK #racism

So much to be said about this amazing, incredible victory! For now, congratulations, brava! #cricket #WorldCup #India

For the kiddo who makes me so many, many hearts with pencils, paint, Lego… #knitting #hearts

Well done, Netherlands on booting out the pro-genocide, Islamophobe. Palestine plays an important role in determining the outcome of one more election of one more country. When will our politicians realize what a majority of humanity wants? #Netherlands #D66 #Democrats66

If these fine gentlemen ever experience crushing, heartbreaking, gut-wrenching pain, I hope they are surrounded by people less vile and more empathetic than themselves. #auspol

No sanctions. More coal and gas. Weakened environment laws which are potentially worse than what we have now and could expand fossil fuel projects. TBH it sounds to me exactly what Peter Dutton would have wanted

🚨The "No" campaign against the Indigenous Voice was a fossil fuels-led sham. A major ARC study finds "Advance" a was massive spreader of fossil fuels propaganda ahead of the May federal election. One of biggest impediments to fossil fuels = Indigenous rights. theklaxon.com.au/9w0g

The schizophrenic mentality of a government that wants to promote Hindi over all other Indian languages & at the same time deny a world-class scholar of Hindi literature entry into the country… Apart from her scholarship, she is also the loveliest, most humble person! #India #Hindi #AcademicFreedom

“In line with the terms of the deal, Hamas will release all remaining Israeli hostages, and Israel will still murder innocent Palestinian civilians on a regular basis, but at a slightly slower pace than we have been of late,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Silencing is one path to social cohesion. #auspol #sbs #SocialCohesion #freepress #media

“Concerns about the potential use of the F-35 by Israel to carry out violations of international humanitarian law have led to much criticism of transfers of the aircraft or its parts to Israel” All the ‘non lethal’ parts, a very lethal genocide make! #auspol #ICC #F-35

I am terrified for my brave and empathetic compatriots, as I am for myself & us all with the realization that if we were in danger, we may get little to no help from our government. #auspol #humanrights #flotilla
