It's a good step that the LECC will investigate police misconduct and violence at Town Hall during the anti-Herzog protest. Now we need an independent investigation of the political incitement to violence by the NSW Premier and others.

We need an independent inquiry into police conduct. New video shows violent arrest of Australian filmmaker James Ricketson at Sydney's anti-Herzog protest abc.net.au/news/2026-02-1… via @ABCaustrali#nswpolo#auspolol

"We want people who come to this country to believe in our core values". For Well Done Angus, "core values" are: - making shit up - racism disguised as lower migration - maintaining wealth and power for the ruling class - pushing policies that Lachlan likes. #auspol www.sbs.com.au/news/live-bl...

It shouldn’t be so hard to hold child rapists to account.

Independent MP Helen Dalton, who represents Murray in the NSW parliament, says she's weighing up a switch to federal politics and may run in the Farrer by-election The move would see a state by-election in Murray, which Dalton won with a 66% two-candidate-preferred vote in 2023

Seriously does @davidshoebridge.bsky.social have to do all the work. Absolutely everything? #Auspol.

NSW police watchdog to investigate alleged police brutality at Sydney protest against Isaac Herzog Despite premier Chris Minns’s objection to an inquiry, Law Enforcement Conduct Commission says it is in public interest to investigate ‘alleged misconduct’ #auspol

Centrelink recipients who had Robodebts have just weeks to sign up to receive part of a massive payout. The federal government last year agreed to pay $475 million in additional compensation to about 450,000 victims of the calamitous robodebt scandal au.finance.yahoo.com/news/centrel...

A reminder that while most mainstream media journos are salivating over an irrelevant leadership change, the 'parties of government' are in lock step on fucked climate policies. As the country burns, inequality grows and racism festers, breathless ABC people will give us the latest poll numbers.

"Put on the full armour of God". Qld LNP Mackay MP Nigel Dalton campaigns for abortion criminalisation. Says the battle is "against demons" & he's now seeking God's redemption. Regrets his pre-election status & supporting initial parliamentary gag. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Israeli forces demolished several Palestinian structures across the occupied West Bank, including homes, citing a lack of permits. Video shows soldiers assaulting and detaining residents during the operations.

Interesting. There were no issues with the anti Herzog protesters in Melbourne. The difference? The brutal and violent NSW Police and a Premier who thinks he’s a right wing dictator.

Tony Abbott’s views have less relevance than a fart. And like a bottom burp, they’re offensive, noxious & nobody wants to hear them. Abbott of one of the reasons why the Liberal Party is so unpopular. Australians have moved on. Except for racists & bigots, most Aussies are sick of politics of hate

I asked why the Albanese Government hasn't rejected Trump's invitation to join his so-called "Board of Peace." The UK, France, New Zealand, Germany & others have refused to join, because it is cooked. Minister Wong says Labor is still considering the invite. What's to consider?

I asked Penny Wong today how hosting President Herzog in Australia when UN experts have found he incited genocide, when he has signed bombs used on Gaza, and right now Israel is stealing more Palestinian land, how could that ever be about peace?

This is what Albanese is supporting Israel is a terrorist state #HerzogNotWelcome #auspol

That horrible Zionist dismissed protesters as a "fringe minority" on something I heard - no pushback from the interviewer. Zionism is terrorism.

“The 5% deposit guarantee has done what everyone expected to housing affordability. But fixing the capital gains tax discount would be a great move,” writes Greg Jericho, Chief Economist at The Australia Institute. Read more: https://theaus.in/404jkjZ

Flinders Street Station - 5 PM today.

No surprise that Minns won't apologize for police violence. As @scottmitchell.bsky.social explains in the latest Lamestream podcast, it is NSW police who run the premier. #nswpol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/h... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Todays ALP is “corporate-capture cordial with a right-faction chaser.” Such a disappointment to all who expected big things after our last election! ALPs right faction is pissing off Australian voters. #auspol

Security concerns? Or a publicity stunt? Y'all can decide This is Australia not quite the Wild West with Australia's best "security" people swarming an area.

@kkarapanagiotidis.bsky.social on FB re your rights to protest in Melbourne. www.facebook.com/share/1Byc56...

Oh fuck off! People don’t have an issue with Israel or jewish people, they have an issue with the 70,000 people you have massacred. The hate is on you and your government, don’t drag the rest of Israeli people into it. Many of your own citizens oppose your war. Fucking warmonger.

Lebanese Muslim Association secretary Gamel Kheir says the community's relationship with police could be fractured following a Sydney protest, despite spending "nearly 20 years repairing" the damage caused by the Cronulla Riot.

You're prescribed legal cannabis but your pharmacist can't track it, you can't legally buy a vaporizer, and you'll lose your license for THC in your system. I asked the TGA in Estimates last night about Australia's medicinal cannabis mess -watch here youtu.be/l1kgfZixgOM

We are on the cusp of the greatest intergenerational wealth transfer in history. Without action, it risks deepening inequality particularly on housing. Thank you to Marcus, 18, for reminding Parl we must act boldly now so the next generation can survive & prosper. #auspol #politas

We will decide who gets beaten by police and the manner in which they will be beaten

A good summary. It seems very wrong that ordinary Australians, peacefully and harmoniously demonstrating together in thousands, were bashed by #police protecting an INVITED entourage from a state committing #genocide and other #war crimes. #auspol #peace #integrity #accountability #respect

'Social cohesion'? No, it's just a net to trap us all www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Australian authorities were fully aware that inviting Israel's president for a visit was going to ignite unrest and furious opposition. They invited him anyway, and sent in the police to assault the protesters. www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-XO... You can tell who & what a man is by the company he keeps.

Surprise, surprise. This has to STOP. There should be a three-year restraint clause for all senior govt/military personnel to prevent this form of corruption. Because that’s effectively what it is - corruption. Favouring contractors in exchange for a job. #auspol

Herzog is a fucking politician. He’s not a Jewish religious leader. He’s a goddamn Israeli Zionist POLITICIAN who supports the genocide of Palestinians. Screw you @albomp.bsky.social for defending his visit. You truly fucked up here by supporting a Zionist over Aussie values & social cohesion

I ducked over to parliamentary house for the anti-Herzog rally. A small but passionate crowd in attendance including Greens and independent pollies (read Senator Pocock) More photos later this arvo.

Defence says its a 'benefit to our nation' to have people leave Defence to join US arms dealers. I am not so sure.
