Time Australia distanced itself from the Trump Authoritarian US Regime . Tied at the hip with the Israel Authoritarian Regime. Both are war criminals and fascist. @albomp.bsky.social insistence on going down that path not what the Australian people voted for. #auspol.

The very least that the Australian government should do is to stop doing arms deals with Israeli companies. Who may be supplying some of the drones and weapons used to attack the Sumud flotilla. #GazaGenocide #auspol

Dear Americans, I accept you brought this on yourselves. Unfortunately it has also impacted the rest of us. Have you got any concrete plans to fix the problem? Yours sincerely, the rest of the world.

EXCLUSIVE: Federal MP Monique Ryan is among hundreds of doctors calling on the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne to reinstate a cancelled panel event focused on the Gaza genocide's impact on children. www.deepcutnews.com/p/exclusive-...

Australian govt thinks it's 'job done' by recognizing Palestine. Next steps reminder: "1. Impose targeted sanctions on Israeli government officials responsible for war crimes. 2. End the two-way arms trade with Israel. 3. Hold Israel accountable for its blatant violations of international law."

"The decree prohibits all exports to Israel of defense material and dual-use products or technologies, and the import of such equipment to Spain, Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo says at a news conference."

"If the govt is serious about enabling people to age in place, home care must be made affordable, equitable and accessible. No older person in Australia should be forced to choose between a meal and a shower." @keagar.bsky.social on "rights-based" #agedcare failure. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/09...

Don’t mistake truth for hate, prime minister

The Govt should be introducing legislation to provide more transparency, not less. Their proposed changes to FOI are deeply troubling, though not surprising given in the last parliament they were the 2nd most secretive in 30 years. That needs to change. www.canberratimes.com.au/story/907156...

Cash strapped public media organisation ABC blows $2 MILLION in futile attempt to restrict free speech, & dissemination of factual information on its own platforms. It’s time to deep dive into right wing, foreign, & religious groups’ interference & influence in our ABC. So much self censoring!

Justice Rangiah in his own words in Lattouf v ABC penalty decision. The broadcaster has been ordered to pay $150,000. I was previously awarded $70,000 for hurt and distress. ABC has spent in excess of $2 million on legal fees. The real cost to Aunty is immeasurable.

There are reports since then of 9 explosions around the Flotilla. Israel is bombing the flotilla. There are humanitarian workers from over 40 countries in the flotilla. Israel harms them at their peril. The world won't continue to tolerate murder justified as "Hamas".

The Sumud Flotilla is under attack. Thiago Ávila, a Brazilian organiser, reports 10 drone attacks on the smaller boats, seemingly to destroy their sails. Citizens from the entire world are aboard. It is carrying food for the victims of genocide. Governments need to protect it.

ABC’s John Lyons has slammed Israel for wiping out an average of 28 children in Gaza “Every Day. Week in, week out, month in, month out” Lyons “There are on avg. a classroom of Palestinian children in Gaza today, who this time tomorrow will be killed by an Israeli bomb”😳 #Abc

The ABC really just stepped on every rake. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/s...

What a fruitcake

The value of a Trump meeting pretty much zero. Anything he says could be a lie, any commitment he makes could change tomorrow, and any intervening circumstances could upend the whole playing field. We shouldn't escalate unnecessarily, but we shouldn't roll over or fawn for attention either.

"a Mater doctor eventually told her: 'I’m so sorry but this is a religious facility…to offer you treatment would still be considered a termination or an abortion'." The govt's response to Mater should be: 'I'm sorry, but this is a public hospital. You follow best health practice or lose funding.'

And wait there is more

Despite wacko coverage in the press, Opposition & Zio Lobby hyperventilating, and US threats, Palestine recognition and Penny Wong's aid worker declaration are good steps. Now sanctions are the go #auspol michaelwest.com.au/right-move-b...

Exclusive: distinguished Prof Fiona Stanley was ‘ashamed’ after the hospital named after her abruptly cancelled an event featuring Palestinian-Australian doctors speaking about their experiences in Gaza, and says she even considered asking the hospital to remove her name

And wait there is more

Wow, what a turnaround

What will he do, as the noose tightens?

If Penny Wong is serious about the Australian govt wanting to *do something* to stop the #GazaGenocide, Francesca Albanese provided a handy list a couple of months ago. #auspol

Australia is still supplying parts to F-35 jets that are still bombing Gaza, where 94% of deaths since March have been civilians (up from the previous far more tolerable 85%), but it is good of us to recognise a state we're helping ensure will never exist.

On the #SundayShot is our very own @markogge.bsky.social AND @emmashortis.bsky.social! Catch all their analysis here ⤵️

The recognition of Palestine is a victory for the many Australians who have been calling for this, but will not end the genocide in Gaza. The Albanese Government must now sanction Israel for its criminal actions the way it has sanctioned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

"Very good that Australia has recognized Palestine, but what next? What are you doing to use your leverage to stop the carnage? Starts with cutting all ties with the state that has been accused of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide." - Francesca Albanese www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Recognition of Palestine is Not Enough, Sanctions Must Follow to Stop the Genocide. Read our full statement on Australian recognition of Palestine at: www.jewishcouncil.com.au/2025/09/jewi...

The question ought to be - not should Palestine be recognised - but should Israel be recognised? michaelwest.com.au/news/austral...

Terrorism in unacceptable and should be dealt with quickly and decisively. Genocide is unacceptable and should be dealt with quickly and decisively. The only criticism one can reasonably have with @albomp.bsky.social move is that he was too slow. #auspol

This is all very well, but immediate sanctions and a condemnation of the genocide Israel *is currently committing* would go a lot further

Sorry but I have muted "Charlie Kirk "

I fully support the UK, Canada and Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state. It is not a 'reward' for Hamas. It is rightful attempt to preserve the only model that could achieve long-term peace amidst Israel's inexcusable colonisation of the West Bank and destruction of civilian life in Gaza.

Kirk memorial being shown on the #ABC. How disgusting @abcnewsbot.bsky.social

Formal recognition of the state of Palestine overnight is a welcome step but we must also listen to the experts outlining what further steps Australia & other nations must take to prevent the ongoing genocide in Gaza. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

They’re already enthusiastically using their right to bear arms and shoot each other. About 128 Americans die each and EVERY day by gunshot. Gun death tolls like war zones. And it’s likely to get MUCH worse as gun sales skyrocket.

This week's #SundayShot is up for your viewing pleasure with guest co-host @boganintel.bsky.social, @australiainstitute.org.au's Mark Ogge and @declassifiedaus.bsky.social's Kellie Tranter. Catch it before Trump cracks down on YouTube criticism too.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=m994...

End AUKUS. We can't have an ally threatening us with "punitive measures". Republicans warn Anthony Albanese of 'punitive measures' over Palestinian recognition www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

This is a ten minute video broken up into parts for Bluesky from two australian doctors who made it into Gaza. The video starts with them saying the baby formula they brought with them was taken away and that Israel bombing the hospital in front of them and lying about giving warnings

After a week off, #SundayShot returns today at 9.00am! Forget #theirABC tummy-fluff gazing; join the YT stream @instanterudite.bsky.social @davemilbo.bsky.social @deniseshrivell.bsky.social #auspol

Young people: you’ll pay the most tax, own the least, live in worst housing, get the worst super returns, etc. Yet the political discourse is all about cutting welfare "handouts". The biggest handouts have always gone to wealth, inheritance, capital gains, housing. #intergenerationalfairness #auspol

The media obsession with them meeting is something else. Like they forget Trump is a fascist pedophile rapist destroying democracy in real time. #auspol #insiders #SundayShot

Brisbane Folk: come along and hear from Executive Committee member, Bart Shteinman at this event we're pleased to co-host! events.humanitix.com/should-anti-...

Hooray, the Jewish Council of Australia is coming to Brisbane.

Throw American mining companies out, Kill AUKUS and close American military bases
