I am honestly reeling that he refused a meeting with Noongar elders on their own Country after a terror event. The comparisons write themselves, but this is an objective wrong on its own terms. The IED thrown on 26 Jan in Boorloo is actually designated, yes belatedly, by the colony itself.

The logic of Herzog's visit basically screams "Jews aren't really Australian, they're Israeli". Racist. Anti-Semitic.

'17 October 2025, Michael Fakhri, UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food... stated plainly that “the UN died in #Gaza,” identifying the deaths of Palestinian children from hunger and dehydration as the moment of failure.' www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpR6... #GazaNews #GazaStrip #Israel #Palestine

FRIENDS Here's a new one for The Point -> Aus plans to have a central role at COP31 pushing for a fossil phaseout. But that statement came at a time when a remarkable new record was hit, which I found in some government data.........go watch, or read -->>> thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved. DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.

The Western Arrarnta mother of three had attended hospital willingly seeking medical care for her schizophrenia during a psychotic episode, though she was admitted as an involuntary patient. She was found unresponsive after being repeatedly sedated and was unable to be revived.

If Dems don't shut it down they can expect to be wiped out at the next election.

In happy MMO news, indie MMO Project Gorgon launched with v1.0 last week and the population has jumped from ~300 players to over 2000... it has been so much a strain on their server that they launched 2 more. Servers are designed to handle a population of 1000. They've far exceeded expectations.

I am jobless at the moment.

How can DSS say “no current impact on customers” when historical remediation is still required? If people have had money incorrectly gaken from their FTB and it isn’t yet repaid, of course there’s an impact

I guess I'm a dupe or something, because I'm still capable of being shocked by this stuff. www.crikey.com.au/2026/02/06/a...

Labor leaders talking about dangers of far right while bending over backwards to appease the far right at any cost. Labor is rolling out the red carpet for fascism while pretending they’re fighting it.

“When will the bullying & intimidation stop?” #auspol #nswpol #NewcastleWritersFestival

Do they all get deported now? Is that how this works?

Not inviting Herzog would have saved loads of money And helped social cohesion

"Labor still has a chance to shape the future, and history won’t look back to discuss whether or not modern Labor was “moderate” or “centrist” enough. It will judge it on whether it met the moment and the times. The verdict from those flocking to disruptors is that no, it is not." Amy Remeikis

Anyone who is paying attention to the reality of AUKUS (not Labor and Richard Marles) knows we’ll never get any subs and the US will just squeeze as much money out of us as they can before officially admitting this. It’s time to find some backbone and get out of AUKUS!

can't help but think there is probably a corrosive effect of having sex trafficker-elite emails unveiled for months on end as one of the biggest cultural/news stories of the last year— unearthing an inexcusable moral rot in the upper echelons of power—but without any real accountability/justice

Cory Bernardi, new One Nation pick, went to America to train in climate denial with #AtlasNetwork’s Heartland Institute. This One Nation, like Farage’s Reform, is a tool of reactionary billionaires determined that no fact will stand between them & profit. #Auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

🚨 Attention: Foreign tourists 🚨

Australia's 1 of 193 members of the UN, who found genocide's been committed in Gaza Strip last 2yrs, as have dozens of other agencies. We’re also 1 of 125 ICC (International Criminal Court) members required to arrest Netanyahu (or gov) for war crimes if enters our country. Arrest Herzog!! #Auspol

ICYMI- yesterday's cartoon for @australia.theguardian.com on the Herzog visit

Context: this speech is from SIR THOMAS MORE, a history written, as near as scholars can tell, in the early 1600s by 6 or 7 people including Dekker, Heywood, Chettle, Shakespeare, and Munday. It was never performed, because Jacobean England was a police state and it was banned by the censor.

Fuck you AI

I know this is a profoundly unoriginal take, but this is why Shakespeare is still awesome: the times change, but people don’t. When performed, rather than read, his work is a portal demonstrating the unity of humanity across time and space. There is comfort and tragedy in that reality.

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it: (thread)

Opinion: Alpha males are red flags. If someone’s masculinity requires control, fear, or obedience, it’s not alpha. It’s fragile. They’re looking for an NPC not a partner. Warm, cooperative, protective, capable, that’s the good stuff. 🫶

I’m on the scene at Franklin and 1st. A convoy of about a couple dozen ICE/HSI agents broke the entryway into an apartment building at 6am. No warrant presented. Less than 24 hours ago, Tom Homan announced the end of large convoys in Minnesota… Bullshit.

What's that you say! It was all just fear pushing by bad faith groups and that trans women pose no threat to cisgender women. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

Lemme tell you how much it would upset so many people's worldviews if a component of every criminal case was evaluating the government's culpability in creating conditions. The yearly report would set some folks' worlds ablaze.

I see 7:30 has got the clowns out. The Pyne and shorten show is back. There’s no real analysis here just playful jibes and party scripts. No mention of Gina Reinhart taking Liberal donors to Trump for donations to One Nation

Tom Homan: “You’re not going to stop ICE. You’re not going to stop border patrol” Ilhan Omar: “Abolish ICE. There’s no reforming it. There’s no compromise. There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it”

A callout for Australian Jews: add your name by Friday 9am! We are taking out a full-page newspaper advertisement next week to send a loud message that Herzog is not welcome here – this is your opportunity to add your name at the link below. www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/02/peti...

Does Albo really think that the president of a nation that behaves like this can assist with "healing" or "social cohesion" after the Bondi massacre? Either the PM's judgment is shit, or he has totally capitulated to the Israel lobby. On both counts, unfit to lead. #auspol

"The (UN) commission of inquiry has found that Herzog has incited genocide... Someone who incites genocide does not satisfy the good character test for entering Australia. On the contrary, a person who incites genocide should be arrested on arrival and tried under Australian and international law."

Finally

Labor is setting up a new committee to oversight Defence which should be a good thing except it will be a secret club committee with membership only from the Liberals and Labor. It's a stitch up and they just won't stop running political interference from AUKUS.

Remember how the Greens wouldn't back Labor's policies saying more needed to be done or this will happen? And they were lambasted for it? Well they are right. Because unlike the ALP, the Greens policies tend to ACTUALLY be based on data.

In the same week Australian households were told their mortgage repayments will go up, they have also learnt who the real beneficiaries of government housing policies are & it’s not first-home buyers.

Incredible that Labor is selling out SA by putting Woodside Barracks on the privatisation chopping block. 145 hectares of prime public land in our precious Adelaide Hills. Where are their priorities for public housing? For public amenities? Shame on you Labor. All wrong.

It's not that they don't learn, its that destroying cultural events is the point.

@australianlabor.bsky.social I got your campaign email. I don't support genocide apologists. I don't support cynical politics over leadership. I don't support a status quo that has already failed us. You won't be getting my money or a high preference at the next election.

Who was talking about organising autistic sit ins at MPs offices with the whole families? Might be time again for that

Lol getting campaign mails from Labor asking for money because of all the donations from evil billionaires Liberals and One Nation are getting. Or they could... you know... change donation laws! Like the Greens have been asking! They have the numbers! They can solve this but don't want to. Because$

A real Antisemitism Envoy would focus on the actual Nazis marching in the streets before going after imaginary campus antisemitism

What great headlines for conservative Australians 👇🏼

Currently holidaying off the Otway Basin Cars carry “Save Scott Reef” stickers alongside orange kelpies for @voicesofwannon.bsky.social Fences carry “Stop seismic blasting” corflutes. Can’t help but think there’s a big fight ahead.
