Int. law expert Chris Sidoti says those coming to Australia who served in the IDF & had “any involvement in the war in Gaza” should be treated as a “suspect” “A suspect who should be investigated & if the evidence warrants it, prosecuted & if a court is satisfied, convicted!”💯 #NPC

He is correct. Adding that the PTSD bringing psychosis and violence will be their legacy having wounded starved and killed innocent children with an horrific sadism.

I don't give a fuck about your 'concern'. Do something @albomp.bsky.social!

Depends what happens in the mid-terms I guess ie will he be enabled by Congress to run for a 3rd term...

Impressive in her honesty.

🔥 Question from journo Emma Macdonald: “Are you personally perplexed by Anthony Albanese's approach to Palestine, when you and I would remember that he used to protest and hold a megaphone calling for an end to the Israeli occupation?” Met with stony silence from those in the #NPC audience.

This means Australia fails human rights test. Changing our values? Which are we to adopt?

John Lyons: “The presence next to these 2 of leader of one of the Arab nations-Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Egypt-would have given the proposal much-needed credibility in the Arab world. Instead of being a peace deal, in my assessment, this is more of a hostage deal.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

“Residential aged care institutions, retirement village life, home support package scheme, people over 65-called “the old”-living at home making no claim on system, just coping by whatever means they can, this stage life means grappling with overwhelming challenges.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/10...

My cat has needed a lot of midnight hugs lately - she comes in around 2am and burrows under the covers and needs to be entirely wrapped up in my arms before she’ll settle. Wakes me up every time but she purrs like an engine as jumps into bed - just so happy at the thought of a cuddle 😩🥹

Dr Assal Rad— "Israel has attacked Gaza, the West Bank, Qatar, Lebanon, Iran, Syria, Yemen, and Tunisia. Yet, I don’t recall a headline like this."

'Je suis un auteur de pantalons fantaisie marveilleuse', drawls @squigglyrick.bsky.social, as he flaneurs about handsomely with a cane topped with an Alan Tudge gargoyle, I hope.

What an absolute disgrace this entitled man is - he diminishes the integrity of the NACC. While he stays, his presence will continue to stain the organisation. He lied about his involvement in #Robodebt and now he's lied about his continued involvement with Defence. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

Jack Waterford: “Assuming that Andrew Hastie is not taken from us by the apparently imminent Rapture, he may soon come up for judgment. It is very hard to imagine him leading the Liberal Party anywhere other than over a cliff.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

A mere 2500-word ABC puff piece on rightwing extremist Andrew Hastie. The sort of balanced, professional reporting that has helped turn America into the democratic powerhouse of moderation and reasonableness we know today.

Congratulations, Rick & to all those who won literary prizes. Your cumulative words/stories are so extraordinarily important.

And thank you for your massive hand in exposing this cruelty Asher. If it wasn't for people like you and Rick it would have continued for much longer, harming so many more.

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Such is the poor quality of US governance that a demonstrably unstable man suffering brain deterioration is allowed to wreak havoc with his own country's business and trading arrangements, and also against global treaties signed into law by the US Congress.
