It is absolutely shocking that years after threats against First Peoples and Muslim communities were first reported, no one has been held accountable. How many warnings does this country need? White supremacy is not fringe. It is organised, persistent and escalating.

This is a person who has been targeting Black and brown communities for years — and who remains at large. Senator Fatima Payman has also been targeted. And now during Ramadan, Muslim communities are being threatened, with references to the Christchurch massacre.

This week, when I saw the letters sent to Lakemba Mosque, I immediately knew that it was the same perpetrator. The same distinct handwriting, language and misspellings, and the same stamps made using a bullet dipped in ink.

Three years ago a series of racist threatening letters were sent to the Victorian Greens. They were covered in white supremacist hate, swastikas and explicit threats against my life and my family. They were reported to police. But as far as I know nothing came of it 🧵 www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

From me: The architect of the Robodebt scheme, who was told it was unlawful even as he delivered it for the government, is still employed in the public service, now at the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. And in a senior governance and risk role. www.crikey.com.au/2026/02/20/r...

The Royal Commission’s order for journalists to retain information has been reported — but I wanted to go a bit deeper. I found the story of why any sentence that guaranteed source protect at the ABC was erased from policy over 15 years ago. www.lamestream.com.au/the-inside-s...

I was waiting for Senator Henderson to suggest her ideal proportions of chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic.

Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson saying the word “Hammas”.

Kevin Rudd has told Lamestream that he would welcome an inquiry into a think-tank he formerly chaired, funded by the Australian-government, that was used by Epstein to employ his victims. Our latest exclusive: www.lamestream.com.au/young-beauti...

After being contacted by Lamestream with new revelations, a spokesperson for Kevin Rudd has now given us comment that Rudd would now “welcome any inquiry by any donor government – including Australia – into how their funds have been used.” www.lamestream.com.au/young-beauti...

Another great episode of Lamestream this morning with @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social & @scottmitchell.bsky.social. Always a banger. NSW police hardly covering themselves in glory is pretty standard, and sadly expected. But the media's response is beyond the pale. shows.acast.com/680703673808...

No surprise that Minns won't apologize for police violence. As @scottmitchell.bsky.social explains in the latest Lamestream podcast, it is NSW police who run the premier. #nswpol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/h... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Pretty amazing stuff here in Senates, Wong says she was unaware that the chair of an organisation behind illegal settlements (something Australia is supposed to sanction) entered the country as part of Herzog's delegation. DFAT eventually say the delegation was handled by PM&C not them.

A new video obtained by ABC NEWS Verify shows the full minute leading up to a man in a white business shirt being punched several times by NSW Police at Monday night’s protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Addresses to our parliament by Obama, Xi Jinping, Bush, Hu Jintao were pre-announced, so any “security” excuse for keeping Herzog’s address secret would plainly be rubbish

Exclusive: Israel's President is set to make an official trip to Australian Parliament next week. It has not been publicised by the Australian or Israeli governments. www.lamestream.com.au/exclusive-is...

Australian coverage of the Epstein files has so far been confused about why Kevin Rudd was mentioned in his emails alongside references to Mongolia. Today @scottmitchell.bsky.social and I reveal what drove Epstein’s Mongolia obsession. www.lamestream.com.au/exclusive-ho...

New exclusive from us: Epstein and Ehud Barak discussed how to make money in Mongolia, almost a year before the advisory board was even formed. "They pay quite a lot of money [for consultants],” Barak went on to say. “ They think that if they will choose the white people, they get a certain edge.”

Investigation from Lamestream, with fresh insight thanks to previously unpublished documents. Exclusive: The Night Kevin Rudd and Jeffrey Epstein Dined at a NYC Penthouse A lot of work has gone into bringing this into print. @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social www.lamestream.com.au/exclusive-th...

The coverage of One Nation this week has been some of the softest coverage of any political force, ever. It's been a shocking week. I think people would be shocked to realise how it compares to what journalists were asking Pauline Hanson 25 years ago. www.lamestream.com.au/how-the-medi...

*Barnaby Joyce burps at the pub* Every political reporter: he certainly knows how to speak to the Australian people

The 'hate speech' law was bad, and Albanese "forced it through at the behest of a foreign government and its local lobbying proxies." But mainstream journos weren't interested in the Israel lobby's role, say @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social & @scottmitchell.bsky.social. podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/h...

I guess @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social & @scottmitchell.bsky.social are too young to remember the Wayne Carey scandal. Good episode though.

I wrote earlier about the catastrophic effects of pro-Israel pressure campaigns on our cultural institutions, but it seems no lessons have been learned open.substack.com/pub/nickfeik...

51 authors have now withdrawn from the apartheid Adelaide Writers Week. I wrote about it here and the long sordid road of racist interference from Zionists in the Australian arts. sakr.substack.com/p/the-road-t...

Adelaide writers festival, State Library of Victoria, Melbourne Symphony — in every case of censorship, boards have shown themselves. They will destroy the reputation of the institutions they lead, to be on good terms with people in their cocktail set.

She made the call to withdrawal. Absolutely huge. The headline of the festival. This decision has destroyed the reputation of the Adelaide Writers Week, and sadly I doubt it will recover.

New analysis from me on the Royal Commission, the campaign behind it, and what it is set up to achieve: www.lamestream.com.au/this-royal-c...

Royal commission if Usman doesn’t get a bat.

Sky News when they realise they don’t need the doves anymore

I unironically love these looks into a totally alien mind

Mark Calvert being so butt hurt he writes an essay about how Sky News’ chequebook is the real victim in all of this is the funniest and most embarrassing piece of Australian journalism in a long time.

"We learned about the lengths that powerful lobbyists will go to try and chase artists out of public life, compiling dossier after dossier on them, to try and smear their reputations with false claims" From @scottmitchell.bsky.social & @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social www.lamestream.com.au/what-we-lear...

I’m not mean! I give great compliments! We’re just talking about media companies here. (And I’m a Poirot-head)

Oh god, did I go too hard? I don’t know how you’re supposed to do this! 🫣

"Gun companies have innovated a lot in the last 30 years, and an increasing number of firearms sold in the Australian market are designed to get around the spirit, if not the letter, of the laws we’ve relied on to keep us safe." www.lamestream.com.au/how-politics...

And @scottmitchell.bsky.social on the loopholes in Australia's gun laws

Go listen to @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social on the @index.lamestream.com.au.ap.brid.gy pod - it's pretty shocking what's playing out in Aus media

Sharri Markson from Sky News Australia directly blamed Senator Mehreen Faruqi for the mass murder at Bondi - at a memorial Faruqi was visiting to pay respects to **one of her family friends who was killed** The same news station that hosted a neo-nazi for an interview youtu.be/GlY7UYavX2Q?...

Thoughtful, critical analysis of the Australian media’s response so far to the #Bondi attack on Lamestream - notes much of the framing is coming from national / Federal politics journalists, distinct from the local, investigative reporters open.spotify.com/episode/0syj...

Amazing job with today’s episode @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social and @scottmitchell.bsky.social www.lamestream.com.au

Fantastic episode of Lamestream by @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social and @scottmitchell.bsky.social this morning. Great, careful, analysis of how Australia's media has gone off the deep end over the last few days

Shoutout to Lamestream, We Used to be Journos, @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social, @theklaxon.bsky.social, Declassified Australia, @roycerk2.bsky.social, @thepointau.bsky.social, @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social, @ketanjoshi.co, @crikey.com.au, @rachelwithers.bsky.social + more for their work in this space.

Nick's shoutout even more relevant after appalling coverage of Bondi by mainstream media. Uncritical parroting of Netanyahu and Hanson, blaming protestors, and ramping up anti-migrant racism. Great ep from @osmanfaruqi.bsky.social & @scottmitchell.bsky.social . podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/h...

Lamestream exclusive on a shakeup to the ABC's 2026 slate! Latika is back! Let's roam, baby! www.lamestream.com.au/latika-bourk...

Cracking yarn alert. 🚨 The real origin of the teen social media ban: radio comedians and ad execs coming up with it in a single conversation. An idea fuelled, not by experts, but kitkat and Hyundai — taken up by government wholesale. www.crikey.com.au/2025/12/09/3...

And so ends one of the great sagas of boomers tagging the wrong person in their gripes about news coverage. @mattbevan.bsky.social thank you for your service, you’ll be missed by many!
