“We’re absolutely gobsmacked by this decision, which makes a mockery of Labor’s promise to fix our broken nature laws. “If plans of this scale – to bulldoze thousands of hectares of Australia’s great savanna and the homes for 13 threatened species – don’t trigger federal assessment, what does?”

Research now puts Gaza’s death toll far higher than first reported, confirming earlier figures and exposing years of denial, Noel Turnbull writes. #auspol #MiddleEast #Gaza

AI and social media is perfect amalgam of shite and evil.

Latest Israeli attacks bring total death toll in Gaza since October 'ceasefire' to 614 https://aje.news/eo5v04

Intensified attacks, methodical destruction of entire neighbourhoods appear aimed at permanent displacement, UN says.

They know they're dingoes; we've told them and shown them (via genetics) that they are dingoes. Yet they choose to continue with a culturally insensitive misnomer. Colonialism writ large. www.wimmeramalleenews.com.au/calls-mount-...

Sports commentary should always be like this

Israeli military incursions and settler attacks forced more than 37,000 Palestinians to leave their homes in 2025.

Here is how to convey wishes during the holy month of Ramadan in different languages around the world.

Israel will begin a contentious land regulation process in a large part of the occupied West Bank, which could result in Israel gaining control over wide swaths of the area for future development. https://to.pbs.org/4kX5euJ

At least 130 people have been killed in US attacks on vessels in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean since September.

I can’t find any links to Aust media reporting the prayers for Israeli genocidaires but the Jerusalem Post, which has remarkably immediate access to all things zionism here, published a predictably persecution complex-coded account www.jpost.com/diaspora/art...

ABC PM reporting the Israeli president prayed for genocidal Israeli (“IDF”) soldiers in Naarm today in case you doubted for one second that this visit is a genocide washing tour and has been from the day he was invited by zionist (sic) federation members.

Sophie Scamps MP: "At the very time the Government is welcoming President Herzog into Parliament House, with the entrance being officially lined with Israeli flags, Israel is moving to extend the illegal occupation of the West Bank thus undermining the hope for a two-state solution."

Dr Assal Rad— "What is called when you have two different legal systems based on religion/ethnicity??"

He’s not wrong.

#BREAKING 🚨 Aftab Malik, Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia, has released a statement condemning "unprovoked violence and aggression" from NSW Police against Muslims praying in Sydney's Town Hall Square "There cannot be any justification for this behaviour"

Assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna: "It was really quite precarious at times for our officers who were significantly outnumbered by the protesters and the people who wanted to act in a violent and offensive manner." #auspol #nswpol #PoliceViolence #HerzogNotWelcome

Last weekend, Israel massacred at least 30 Palestinians in cold blood. Today, @albomp.bsky.social has brought Herzog to Australia. 1/

Restricting a protest march because of the size of the crowd goes against every democratic principle.

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

Will the MSM NOW accept that if they're sticking with the "Climate 200-supported candidates" narrative, they have to acknowledge the "Advance-supported candidates" as well? Of which there are MANY (looking at you, Freedom Boy).

I want Albanese to tell us what the Israeli President who signs bombs that blow up Palestinian families and denies civilian status to Palestinian children has to do with an “attack on all Australians”. In his own words. I’ll wait.

Are prejudicial statements intended to stoke fear and hate against whole religious communities ok under the new hate speech laws? Just checking…

Israel razes 200 graves for body of final captive while thousands of Palestinians killed are lost and unidentified.

Superb idea from @mon4kooyong.bsky.social “When it comes to climate hazards, people act faster when they immediately grasp what’s at risk. Declaring a Category 4 ‘Heatwave Santos’ or ‘Heatwave Woodside’ would be more salient than communicating a ‘temperature spike’."

Hey media please stop dredging up the Liberals we voted to oblivion - thanks #auspol

Francesca Albanese. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

On 1 April 2024, Ms Zomi Frankcom, an Australian national, was murdered by Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in Gaza while supporting a World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid delivery. And now Anthony Albanese has invited the president of Israel to Australia Apparently all is forgiven

Scomo and Jen are in Jerusalem for some photo opportunities and an antisemitism conference

It’s shameful that this ongoing stain on our national character continues to go underreported and under-resourced by governments of both persuasions and an apathetic media. Nearly 200 women killed by violent men in the past 2 years. Isn’t that worthy of a Royal Commission?

For the un-zombified, the news will be painful today. I was stuck in a car listening to 774 and had to endure a lengthy glowing eulogy for this man, about what a humanitarian hero he was, and not a single inch of push back from Raf Epstein. We're all the "good Germans" now.

Israeli forces on Wednesday killed at least 11 Palestinians in Gaza, including two 13-year-old boys, three journalists and a woman, hospitals said, on one of the war-battered enclave's deadliest days since the ceasefire between Hamas and Israel took effect in October. https://to.pbs.org/3YO6p5p

Men at Work's singer-songwriter Colin Hay is not happy "Down Under" is being used by "March for Australia" events to promote racism and xenophobia. He posted this 👇 on social media today. #auspol #racism #AusMusic 🎶

The only people the IDF enjoys murdering more than children are journalists.

Head of UN agency for Palestinian refugees says demolition in East Jerusalem is 'blatant breach of international law' https://aje.news/awxano

Weird how the ABC never mentions that there’s an ICC arrest warrant out for Netanyahu for crimes against humanity, or that he’s led a genocide in Gaza

Wow, this is really interesting, and very, very disturbing.

Criticising this could now be considered hate speech.

Imagine if #Russia would be destroying the headquarters of UN's UNCHR in #Ukraine today. It would be the leading news in the 'West', eclipsing Trump and Greenland. #Israel is today destroying the headquarters of UN's UNRWA (@unrwa.org) in #Palestine. And it goes almost unreported in the 'West'.

READ: Israeli settlers—backed by the military—pushed the last family out of Yanoun, effectively erasing the village through “outposts” and intimidation. This is how displacement happens: step-by-step. mondoweiss.net/2026/01/this...

The ABC News headline writer is doing an outstanding job of minimising any criticism of Israel. • The headline: Israel limits aid • The report: the Israeli Govt is refusing to allow caravans, temporary housing or building materials into the strip. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide
