He’s wanted to declare martial law from day one. Bypass all checks and rule as a tyrant. Many have speculated how he’d do it. Now his gambit is clear. DC was a test. He’s using manufactured crime stats to send troops into blue states & cities. This is not a drill. Democracy is at defcon 1.

Sarah Ferguson is interviewing the Israeli ambassador, who is lying for the Netanyahu regime about their starvation policy. If we had a government with backbone, he would be on the next flight to Tel Aviv. #abc730 #GazaGenocide #auspol

Labor’s pledge to recognise Palestine is a welcomed development - but unconscionably late and woefully insufficient. It’s been in their platform for years, yet when it mattered they chose inertia. Without immediate sanctions or an arms ban, it’s hollow symbolism at best. Foot-dragging shit.

Right now, there’s a proposal to build an open cut lead mine in the middle of Mudgee’s famous food producing region. It would be built 2km from a primary school. Business and community leaders are calling for a lead mining exclusion zone to protect people and country.

The more I hear about the need for "Social Cohesion" in Australia. The more it sounds like the need for "New White Australia Policy"

How times change. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the United States for $7.2 million. 157 years later, Russia owns the White House, and they didn't fork out a single dime.

Media release👇 After two years of inaction, this must be a red line for the Albanese Government. Sanctions to the level of what was introduced against Russia following its illegal invasion of Ukraine, including an end to the two-way arms trade with Israel, are a necessity.

the lack of crispness in the detailing of this is so funny to me. truly Temu level shit Pic 1: Oval Office Pics 2, 3, and 4: Hôtel de la Marine

Also, the FOI docs show DFAT recommended in June that the govt not give a direct answer to the question: “Do the US strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites breach international law?” The suggested response, if “pressed” to answer, was: “Not here to provide legal analysis.” www.crikey.com.au/2025/08/06/d...

ITV pulling zero punches in this incredible footage - "This landscape of destruction looks otherworldy, but it's not, it's this world - What is happening may come to define one of its darkest eras, one that casts a stain on humanity, which will endure for generations 😪😪😪🤬💔

Today, I am proud to say, that I am an officer of the Supreme Court of NSW. After WW2, the world declared 'NEVER AGAIN'. We failed. Tomorrow, Aussies are given the opportunity to display outrage on our biggest stage #FreePalestine #IsraeliNazis #PalestinianHolocaust #auspol

Pretty soon all economic and jobs data released by the federal government will be handwritten with a black Sharpie

GOOD NEWS: FUCK YOU, CHRIS MINNS. "NSW supreme court rules in favour of pro-Palestine march across Sydney Harbour Bridge" #GazaGenocide #MarchForHumanity www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Well now, if onIy some journos had been saying a couple of years back that Israel was using starvation as a weapon of war It seems we're allowed to speak about Israel's war crimes without being labelled 'antisemitic' now that our PM has given us all the ok signal #pfffft bsky.app/profile/anto...

Dan Tehan is on the ABC radio arguing for the continued starvation of the people of Palestine. Despite overwhelming evidence of the use of starvation as a weapon of war and a crime against humanity. What a grub. Beneath contempt.

Tehan, like so many others in Aust parliaments, has been on multiple sponsored junkets to Israel courtesy of AIJAC.

Funny how some groups get their very own voice to parliament without having to bother with annoying things like submitting themselves to the court of public opinion. It turns out you just need to be rich AF

It is an obscenity that this woman sits in judgment over Australians while she defends the perpetrators of this atrocity. Palestinians deliberately starved of food by the Israeli govt while this taxpayer funded, multi-millionaire sits in her govt office telling us what we should think about it.

The Govt and LNP ganging up to censure @mehreenfaruqi.bsky.social. God this is pathetic live.australiainstitute.org.au/2025/07/aust...

In 2023-24 Australia collected more than four times more from HECS repayments than the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. “In Australia, we subsidize the fossil fuel industry, and we charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.” - Richard Denniss, Executive Director @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

Disgusting. Imagine if someone had morals, huh.

At this point, the PM has taken more concrete action against Senator Payman and Senator Faruqi than he has against the State of Israel.

After many months of ho-hummng her way through a brazen genocide, Wong moves a motion to sanction Mehreen Faruqi for holding up a protest sign. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Faruqi held a sign: “Gaza is starving. Words won’t feed them. Sanction Israel.” Labor and Liberal censured Faruqi and banned her from taking part in any overseas parliamentary delegations. Labor and Liberals on a unity ticket to punish truth before they ever confront genocide.

One Nation Senators turn their back on First Nations people by refusing to respect Welcome to Country, and there's zero consequences. But speak out for starving Palestinians and that results in punishment? What kind of Parliament is this?

Another good news story to start your day 🎉 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

Can we please acknowledge that the LNP are completely and totally irrelevant? The govt does not need the LNP's votes to pass anything. The govt does not need the LNP's permission to do anything. The govt does not need the LNP's "bipartisanship". There is no stamp, rubber or otherwise.

Do you know what the passive voice is? These are your words: ".... people are being killed in Gaza" Really? They're just being killed out of the blue? Over 78,000 people just killed, correction, "being killed". No. Israel is killing people in Gaza. Israel is killing. Easy when you think of it.

Gaza is being deliberately starved to death in front of the whole world, and the only people being arrested over it are those who opposed the crime.

Note to governments: If you appoint a lobbyist to a publicly-funded official role, nothing they produce will have any credibility and neither will you.

Journalist: With the greatest of respect, can I draw your attention to some of the commentary that's coming from households online? A lot of people asking how many members of the board are actually mortgage holders and home buyers. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

One of the world's most ruthless warmongers nominating a vain and manipulable old fool for the Nobel Peace Prize is perfectly on point for our grotesque times.

Gee, I don't know Erin. Could it be that unlike yourself, our politicians & media, most Australians have never enjoyed watching unarmed men, women, teenagers, little kids & even babies being slaughtered by bombs, bullets, burnt alive or starved to death? #GazaGenocide #FuckIsrael

Was asleep most if the afternoon so only just saw the RBA’s decision. Seriously bad. It’s what happens tbh when you appoint business execs to be on the monetary policy board and not people who have any actual connection with people who have to pay bills.

Disgusting.

Anyone at this point still supporting Israel needs to admit they just enjoy innocent people being murdered. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

*Penny Wong, 6 months later:* We are gravely concerned that the Trump administration has started actively feeding migrants to alligators. We call on them to reconsider.

A GOP Senator threatening the lives of people protesting a genocide. You must feel so proud of yourself, America. #FuckIsrael #FreePalestine

We could simply say no, we don't pay much attention to failed states run by unhinged felons! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Day 603 of the war on Gaza and journalists still seem to be having trouble with the basic five W’s of reporting. Who? What? When? Why? How? For a reason I cant quite put my finger on, they keep burying the lead: Who is doing this? How did the guns fire? And why were they waiting for food?

Says it all really! www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/20806/...

And in the very week when NSW is drowning in "once in 500-year floods" Exacerbated by climate change. Mongrels.
