I asked why the Albanese Government hasn't rejected Trump's invitation to join his so-called "Board of Peace." The UK, France, New Zealand, Germany & others have refused to join, because it is cooked. Minister Wong says Labor is still considering the invite. What's to consider?

I used to follow Kylie on Twitter. There is not a week go by that I dont think of her. #WaterGate #AusPol #AngusFuckingTaylor

These former soldiers must stay under surveillance. They also should be investigated to determine whether they have murdered or tortured children and innocent civilians.

For mine, Israel should be declared a terrorist state (so Australian citizens who have gone to fight for Israel are subject to prosecution). At the very least, such "lone soldiers" are a menace. johnmenadue.com/lone-soldier... #AusPol #Israel #terrorism

Malcolm Turnbull says the problems he had while PM weren’t with Labor, but “with people like Angus Taylor & Tony Abbott, & their friends in the media” “They had control over Dutton, they burnt it to the ground.”🔥 “They’ve now got their man in again with Angus Taylor” #auspol

Fantastic. Great move. Well done Angus. ROFL James Paterson says Angus Taylor is "the smartest policy brain in the shadow cabinet". www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02... Oh dear. The situation is dire indeed. AND media have "forgotten" some scandals. #AngusGate anyone? www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

There are 9000 abducted children in Israeli prisons

The least journalism schools and organizations can do for Helen Thomas is to posthumously honor her for the horrifying mistreatment she received in her final years after decades-long journalistic legacy. #FreePalestine #GazaHolocaust youtube.com/shorts/YFw7u...

Israeli settlers seized Palestinian land in the Wadi Ali area of Al-Lubban al-Sharqiya, south of Nablus, and began installing fences around the property.

I really wish more people would read this. Australia's unemployment benefits are the lowest in the OECD. The government claims that this is to encourage people to get a job and lowers unemployment. Studies have shown that this is bullshit (quelle surprise) #auspol www.aph.gov.au/DocumentStor...

Australian Census on University Staff Wellbeing results are out. Every uni recorded scores indicating high/very high psych risk. And in news surprising no one, "only senior execs and deans rated their workplaces as medium or low risk while all other staff groups reported high-risk conditions."

One thing that astonishes me about the Herzog visit is that Israel has murdered more journalists than any other state in the 21st century, and he hasn’t faced a single question about this (to my knowledge) from the Australian media

Tonight's protest in Melbourne against the visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog is even bigger than Monday night's rally. Undoubtedly people are turning up to support Palestinians and protest against with the police violence seen in Sydney. #FreePalestine

They walk among us but even more alarming they are elected into our parliaments. Women are perfectly capable of knowing whether they are in a position to rear a child or not. Not you. Not me. It's not anyone else's business. Masculinist power & control agitators can put a condom on it if concerned.

He sounds like a crank!

Zadie Smith: “A Palestinian writer is a human being standing before an audience of other human beings, speaking. If you create a special category of speech…which is to be silenced before it’s even heard, then I think you make yourself ridiculous.” www.theage.com.au/culture/book...

So did we care about the "critically endangered native grasslands", at all, or just about the quick-fix political story at the time? Maybe best don't answer that.

#Griffith in Qld, unless @maxchandlermather.bsky.social comes into the fray again, but I would like to see a good Independent as well

Death penalty bill mandates execution for Palestinians and imprisonment for Israelis for identical offenses | @NoaShpigel www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

I am deeply concerned about the potential impact of NSW Police actions on vulnerable youth. Images that show Muslims in peaceful prayer being pulled and thrown without warning can be leveraged to radicalise and recruit disaffected young people. This is extremely dangerous and counterproductive.

Incredible footage - a new video shows a full minute before an incident where an protest attendee was repeatedly punched by police. Both the Premier and NSW Police have told us not to judge 30 second videos because we don't know what preceeded them. Well... www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

www.sbs.com.au/news/article... Albanese told parliament during Question Time he would not have been able to raise the aid workers' killings with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, had Herzog not visited Australia. Beyond ridiculous: Diplomatic channels, phone calls, letters, emails, video calls?

Nasser Mashni 👏👏👏🇵🇸 Anti-Zionism is not antisemitism! I trust NSW Premier Minns gets the message 🤔

Israeli President Isaac Herzog isn’t welcome in Australia. The Greens stand with those peacefully protesting as we demand sanctions on Israel & an end to the two way arms trade. We join our voices with the millions who call for an end to genocide and justice for Palestine.

It’s amazing that the liberal party can be so devoid of talent that Angus Taylor could be their leader.

Putting to one side the disgust at seeing your PM shaking hands with such an evil person ... Zomi Frankcom didn't die, @albomp.bsky.social. Zomi Frankcom was murdered. And any chance you raised any "outrage" over the "tragedy" of Israel's genocide, apartheid and ethnic cleansing? #auspol

So Angus finally thinks that he can count accurately! Well done Angus! Let's see if you got it right this time.

@davidshoebridge.bsky.social @barbarapocock.bsky.social and @davidpocock.bsky.social actually take their jobs seriously and earn their money. #Auspol.

I'll just let this item speak for itself. #auspol #antisemitism #Israel theklaxon.com.au/pro-israel-l...

Thank you David absolute GOLD having you post these snippets. we (The Public) and taxpayers getting an idea of just how insidious and self-saucing this industry is. and yet no consequences … unbelievable #AusPol

It appears you no longer have the right to protest — First Dog on the Moon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This is nothing but assault by police. Three of them are holding him while simultaneously punching him with force and for no reason. It wasn’t self defence. Criminal acts by police must be met with charges and maximum sentences. Police can not be ignorant of the law or hide behind badges.

Can anyone point to the legislation that states once a person puts a police uniform on they are exempt from breaking the law? And why do police need military style automatic rifles in a country with some of the strictest gun laws in the world? Or vehicles like BearCats? #NoPoliceMilitarisation

I went out before today's Herzog protest at Parliament and saw this massive police surveillance tower. This is completely unnecessary, and intimidating, at a peaceful protest. Police need to be protecting protesters, not snooping on them, or attacking them.

If only we could build submarines with the efficiency of the retired generals revolving door

They may look like snipers but these are Social Cohesion Liaison Officers engaging with the public

I asked Defence where Major General King now works having recently left his job in the Department overseeing billions in contracts for companies like Lockheed Martin... can you guess where he went too?

Hope Greens run hard on corruption & transparency next election David - the stench is palpable

Surprise, surprise. This has to STOP. There should be a three-year restraint clause for all senior govt/military personnel to prevent this form of corruption. Because that’s effectively what it is - corruption. Favouring contractors in exchange for a job. #auspol

There have been multiple reports confirming this horrible story including the UN, Guardian UK, and many News orgs closer to Lebanon.

Meanwhile, parliament in Canberra is flying the Israeli flag

Four Corners on Monday night Minns was forced to admit the NSW Police rejected a request by the Jewish community for extra security at the Hanukkah celebrations - clearly exposing NSW Govt negligence. Seems then Minns fired up the police on the same night to distract headlines from his culpability.

What a surprise! "IRONY: When a people who survived a genocide use it as an excuse to commit genocide." Below are quotes from a holocaust survivor & a Jew about Israel, Hamas, and Zionism. One says, "It seems like Hitler won" & the other asserts that Israel is 1000X worse than Hamas.
