Dear @albomp.bsky.social cc NSW Premier Chris Minns, I didn't vote for Israel to have control over my state or federal govts. I oppose antisemitism. I also oppose Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine, its ongoing genocide, and its attacks on other nations. Israel is a terrorist state. #auspol

Whether it's illegal to say it or not (?), Israel is quite clearly committing genocide in Palestine. The Australian government (but not the Australian people) is quite clearly supporting it. And our farce of a democracy is being further eroded so people don't speak this truth.

If the question is "can you accuse Israel of genocide without fear of prosecution" and the answer is anything other than an unqualified "yes", then there is something dangerously wrong with your "hate laws". www.youtube.com/shorts/YmEcn...

For the un-zombified, the news will be painful today. I was stuck in a car listening to 774 and had to endure a lengthy glowing eulogy for this man, about what a humanitarian hero he was, and not a single inch of push back from Raf Epstein. We're all the "good Germans" now.

Why is everyone dancing around the fact there is only one deal-maker with the nous to deliver peace in the Middle East?

Was going to launch this at Adelaide - but will now be Canberra in March. I suck at promotion, but it’s open for pre order at wherever you get your books (and you can ask your library for it too) 🩷

Israel isn't a country. It is a bipartisan project of Western supremacy. It is supercharged methods of domination and extraction. It is an assault on morality and truth, DARVO personified. ICE and police train with the IDF. It is fascism, and it's coming for the rest of us.

Defence Minister Richard Marles is keen to be seen with the big boys in Washington talking #AUKUS, he’s keen for a photo opportunity on a nuclear powered submarine, but when it comes to determining a preferred site for spent reactor fuel … he’s not so keen. #RadioactiveHotPotato #FOI #auspol

Hey, that’s no way to talk about the Liberal Party! #Auspol

The social media ban was always just the govt doing something to look like it was doing something. That it was being pushed by media and FM hosts was a major 🚩 There is no success/fail test that the ban is being judged by, but we do have a shirt load of vibes.

This is Jo Dyer @instanterudite.bsky.social at her most brilliant best. Jo is a former Adelaide Writers' Week director, and this article beautifully sums up her fury at the needless destruction of one of Australia's most world famous arts events. @theshot.net.au theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

I am heartened by all the solidarity shown to Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah. At the same time, if all of those ABC journalists reported truthfully on the Gaza genocide from the beginning, none of this would have happened. Zionists would not have had impunity to destroy culture here.

A timeline cleanser for you in a serious world They're all hilarious, but my personal fave is 'esplanade' and I will now be using it in everyday conversation .

Well... I guess I'm glad Zionists murdered a writer's festival and not hundred of thousands of children this time

Some of us have been over there fighting the good fight for you Ms Cathy xx

If the Palestine Action hunger strikers die - which they could do at any moment, as they are now very close to the end - it will be the government that killed them. Today’s column explains why. Please share, and write urgently to your MP. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Mainstream journos that think the US has gone too far with Venezuela. You're right. But where the fuck were you, and why the fuck were you quiet, when Trump/Biden flattened Gaza? Why can you talk about this abuse of decency and international law, but not Palestine? We see you.

The problem is not that Trump didn't go through Congress. The problem is that America is bombing brown people for oil again.

Albanese government announces Godot should be here soon, and they will remain vigilant in the meantime.

Public conversation in Australia is so moronic and disingenuously manipulated that paying attention to it is a health hazard. Semi-charismatic empty vessels, on behalf of the hyper-wealthy, squawk about why we need something racist, or fascist. Repeat until the sun explodes.

We got half a million signatures demanding a royal commission into the Murdoch press. It was ignored. Can the Murdoch press get that many washed up swimmers and cricketers to sign up for a royal commission (that will be abused to justify Zionist encroachment on our rights)?

Incredible how quickly Trump's insane criminality, now playing out in Venezuela, is transformed by 'serious people' into an 'oh well', like it's justifiable to invade other countries and kidnap their leaders. If our govt offers anything but outright condemnation, we have lost the plot.

The Twelve Days of Josh Frydenberg Getting People To Call For A Royal Commission Into the Bondi Shooting

When you walk out of the hairdresser and a gust of wind ruins your new do 😄 Royal spoonbill.

So Gina has coerced so called ‘business leaders’, ‘sports stars’ and the entire media to push this idiotic royal commission idea. She must be pissed that the community is not buying it.

Exactly how does the Albanese government ‘continue to support international law’? I haven’t seen any concrete evidence so far during their two terms in government

Albanese's compromised/cowardly statement re Venezuela regarding America's total disregard of international law, was sadly predicted by 90% of Aussies. Trouble ahead !

“We stand now at a hinge point in history. Either the international community finds the will to resist this descent into lawlessness, or we accept a future where sovereignty means nothing and violence everything.” theaimn.net/trump-bombs-...

Calling for a royal commission (that gets ignored) is a national pastime. Grow up, folks, please.

The fix is in, folks. Maybe they could teach us how to murder 380,000 children under the age of five in a two year period as well?

The US has “Captured” Maduro and his wife….

Now Trump has attacked Venezuela, the Australian Parliament needs to be recalled. Tonight. Now. Ya know, the ANZUS Treaty. If Trump is starting wars, then Australia is part of such. (NZ don't have to worry, they pulled out of it years ago), but our nation could end up tied up in this now.

Our AUKUS partner showing off the shared values Richard Marles loves to talk about

Just imagining a world where the ALP had dumped AUKUS and the LNP alone were still clinging to the view that the US was the great protector. “Small target” oppositions lead to bad government policies.

The Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet is using the awful events at Bondi to justify delaying a response to a gambling related #FOI. Really? FOI officials and gaming policy advisors are on the front line of the nation’s terrorism response? Or just shabby opportunism? #auspol

I love painting holiday cards for our friends and family. This one of a Winter elf, is a favorite.✨🎄✨

Zionists are angry bc British cosmetics retailer Lush is donating the proceeds from their watermelon soap to help amputee children in Gaza. Zionists are protesting a company for providing support to Palestinian amputee children. #IsraeliTerrorism #Zionism ≠ #Judaism #FreePalestine

Israel must be brittle and weak. If they're trying to make it so it's illegal to criticise and protest a genocidal apartheid state in distant colonies far away, that must mean Israel is extremely vulnerable to the truth. And the establishment is choosing fascism to deal with it.

I find it sooooooooooo weird people are upset "Albo" was booed, and not that his government is eroding our democratic rights to appease the extremist genocidaires that booed him. Big picture. Focus on our democracy and rights, not the pride/image of an individual politician.

After seeing Ley’s atrocious rant today, it is as well to remember this is the party John Howard destroyed projecting internal division out into the world. It’s ugly and dangerous, aided and abetted by an equally broken media, but it isn’t winning them any friends.

Despite the mainstream media's fawning support, Oppn Leader Sussan Ley's spiteful attack on the PM and Penny Wong, AND her hateful divisive, fear-mongering rhetoric post-Bondi, she now looks like an entitled private schoolgirl cosplaying as Pauline Hanson. #auspol #BondiBeachAttack #racism

This is about all protest and all free expression, from here on out. Our establishment knows social discontent will only grow as the climate worsens, the slaughters continue, and the rich extract harder. They're not fixing anything, and they don't want you to be able to resist.
