This is an excellent decision. Jennifer is an outstanding advocate and change-maker. As a proud Sydney Peace Prize Laureate (2019) it’s wonderful looking at the list of human rights champions who’ve been celebrated over the years. Gives me hope for the future.

Excited that human rights lawyer Jennifer Robinson has accepted the nomination for the 2026 Sydney #Peace Prize, in recognition of her outstanding global contribution to human rights, #justice, and the protection of fundamental freedoms.

We're attending a @theactionnetwork.bsky.social event: No Nuclaer Weapons in Australia Webinar. RSVP here: actionnetwork.org/events/webin...

Something tells me News Corp isn't going to run a multi-year targeting campaign against the people who organised and did this. Imagine if this was done by a pro-Palestine or anti-war protestor, and what the reaction would look like, compared to this www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04...

Another brilliant piece from our founder, Emeritus Professor Stuart Rees "The language used by Trump and Netanyahu turns violence into virtue, framing war as moral, necessary and inevitable while masking its human cost" @johnmenadue.com johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

No matter how outrageous the crimes committed by the US and Israel, Albanese, Wong and Marles robotically mouth platitudes about our 'joint commitment to the rules-based international order'. And they wonder why the public looks beyond the political duopoly? www.justsecurity.org/135423/profe...

The baby's name is Karim. WHY have you not moved to proscribe "the IOF" as a terrorist organisation, @albomp.bsky.social? WHY isn't the fact they dismember and vaporise children with their bombs, snipe them in the head and chest, starve them, withhold medical care, AND TORTURE THEM enough?

From our founder, Prof Stuart Rees In Australia’s federal parliament, a narrow political consensus – marked by conformity, cruelty and evasion – is weakening democratic debate and eroding the principles of human rights and international law. @johnmenadue.com johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

This incredible panel with @franceskalbs.bsky.social Chris Sidoti, Henry Reynolds and Lana Tatour went ahead despite Adelaide University closing the door to these experts. The recording is in this link #Peace #Justice johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

Ilhan Omar: “As someone who has survived the horrors of war, I know that bombs do not build peace or create stability— Military strikes will not make us safer; they will inflame tensions & push the region further into chaos — every time we abandon diplomacy, we choose destruction”

“On #InternationalWomensDay, my thoughts are with the many Palestine Refugee women and girls I have met across UNRWA’s operations. “ Full statement by UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

If Israel passes this horrific death penalty law, it is yet another reason for Canberra to end its timidity and impose sanctions on this rogue state. #auspol #Israel #Palestinian #Death penalty

*Corporate*: In the #Gaza Strip, displaced families are struggling to access safe water. In overcrowded shelters, many rely entirely on water trucking by UNRWA. They ration every drop for drinking, cooking and basic hygiene. Access to water remains critical for survival.

“We live in one of the richest countries in the world... yet, when it comes to health, education, aged care... so many of these things are unaffordable.” - Dr Richard Denniss ✍️ Sign our petition urging our parliament to launch an inquiry into AUKUS: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

People in #Gaza need an unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid. While UNRWA is ready to deliver shelter supplies for up to 1.3 million people, the Israeli Authorities continue to block the Agency from bringing aid in. The scale of UNRWA's work in Gaza must be restored to its fullest capacity.

Australia’s democracy has changed radically since 1975. So many more women in parliament, but less o in the Colaition So many more minor party and independent MPs And each MP now has so many more constituents… Great article/graphs from @browne90.bsky.social thepoint.com.au/off-the-char...

NSW Police fought tooth and nail to prevent a pro-Palestinian march across Sydney Harbor Bridge. NSW Police allow neo-Nazis to rally. NSW Police use their powers to beat-up/arrest peaceful pro-Palestinian activists. NSW Police have no powers to stop neo-Nazis. All cool and normal. #auspol

Dr Jane Goodall's final message - each and everyone of you has a role to play ... you make a difference in this world. Thank you for sharing @joneshowdareyou.bsky.social

Dr Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message.

Non-recognition and denial of statehood, to the contrary, rewards Israel's illegal occupation, denial of self-determination, and international crimes. It also fails to address the root causes of terrorism and thus perpetuates indefinite violence. #auspol #NPC

Israeli forces have intercepted the pro-Palestinian Global Sumud Flotilla on its way to Gaza, detaining dozens of activists including Greta Thunberg. womensagenda.com.au/latest/israe...

Two globally renowned figures in the field of human rights - Ben Saul and Ben Sidoti - will address the National Press Club in Canberra on 1 October on the topic “Palestine recognition: necessary but insufficient”. 11.30am onwards and will be broadcast live by the ABC’s News channel. #auspol

Last week, Jewish Council executive committee member Bart Shteinman joined ABC Canberra to talk about what Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year means for him and for Jews everywhere who are opposing Israel's genocide. Full interview available at: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

In the occupied #WestBank, Palestinians are facing the worst displacement crisis since 1967. Amid escalating violence, UNRWA continues to serve 920,000 #Palestine Refugees, keeping schools, clinics, and vital aid running. Learn about our work: www.unrwa.org/resources/fa...

Australia has an obligation to act to prevent genocide. Not optional. Not political but a legal issue. Failure to act undermines international law and fails people of Gaza. #auspol

Albanese has a voice and a platform to demand a fresh focus on peace-building as a priority of his government. Will he accept this urgent challenge? #auspol #Palestine #Gaza

The UN Commission of Inquiry have determined Israel’s actions in Gaza as a genocide. Hear Judge Navi Pillay in person on 6 November, Sydney Town Hall events.humanitix.com/2025-sydney-...

"No place is safe in #Gaza No one is safe. Airstrikes in Gaza City and the north are intensifying. More and more people are forced to leave, disoriented and uncertain, heading into the unknown." Full statement by UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini: www.unrwa.org/newsroom/off...

People in #Gaza City are living through the unimaginable. “All you see is destroyed houses and roads. Air strikes can happen anytime and anywhere. I am always worried and scared,” an UNRWA staff nurse told us. The Israeli military operation must stop. #CeasefireNow
