Referring to Dr Abdel-Fattah as "this woman" is a revolting display of dehumanisation and misogyny by the South Australian Premier

I’m speechless. That poor man. 😢 Zios are soulless ghouls.

🌻😡 so @albomp.bsky.social where’s your press conference anger over this? Obviously they mustn’t be the ‘right’ citizens to be worried about.You are such a disappointment as a PM🫤 #auspol

About 100 writers and four board members quit Adelaide Festival after it barred author Randa Abdel-Fattah.

Imagine organising yourself for full visit to the Adelaide Writers' Week and finding yourself in an audience with six other people and a lost Jack Russell terrier while Greg Sheridan is the only presenter they have You'd crawl over hot corpses to get out

Why isn't the religion of the perpetrators reported? We always hear when an offender is Muslim or of other ethnicity. Why not these ones? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Dangerous Especially when Labor is only following a pro-corporate agenda, ignoring voters and determined to follow Amerika down the rabbit hole IDEOLOGY has killed this country. The Duopoly must be removed

When will you wake up?

This headline is blatant misinformation. One guy quit because of Adler’s “anti-Zionist” program and zero people noticed or cared. The Board then acted against Adler and Randa, the whole festival collapsed and 4 board members quit rather than fix the mess they made. This upheaval is solely theirs.

Sick. I hope the PM has come to his senses and uninvited this decidedly fascist person.Why you would invite him in the first place is beyond me

Piffle. 'Divisive' isn't a rebuke for a cartoonist, it's a requirement. People express their divided opinions & beliefs on every political cartoon, opinion piece, whether they want a cup of tea & increasingly, on scientific facts. Often in articles & 'letters to the editor' solicited by the SMH.

The more aggressively the Zionists try to stomp out criticism of Israel the more necessary it is to aggressively criticize Israel. Now we're not just opposing genocidal atrocities, we're also opposing an assault on our own civil rights.

Muslim leader and wife allegedly abused, assaulted in Melbourne: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-12/imam-and-wife-allegedly-racially-abused-assaulted-melbourne/106218994

Not one person has lost their job or been forced to apologise for supporting Israel’s genocide. You can support the mass murder of Muslims & you will never be in danger of losing your job in media or politics or the arts or business or education. Suggest Israel are wrong, & you will be targeted.

Watching doc about resilience that reaffirms many changes I made last few years to my mental outlook (I read a LOT of brain books). Brains are hallucination engines. If the story is the world is shit, everything is fucked, brain reframes every interaction this way. It impacts behavior; shuts us down

From elsewhere, and I suspect what a lot of people are feeling, right now. So much for social cohesion.

Dr Gary Foley, Melbourne/Naarm, Jan 11 "A small group of Zionists demanding a royal commission are the same people cheering on the genocide of Palestine." "Aboriginal people had our own royal commission 30 years ago. Nothing was done. 600 of us have died in prison since"

Just so that more Zionists can get upset RT Zionist lobby groups: If we give an Indigenous Voice to Parliament it will be divisive. If we don't give a Zionist voice to Parliament it will be antisemitic. #auspol

Netanyahu enjoys lying almost as much as he enjoys murdering Palestinian kids.

Without LIES Zionism DIES.

We need to fight this drivel peddled by Murdoch's The Israelian & other fossil media that peace protestors are to blame for Bondi #auspol video on Royal Commission pr campaign michaelwest.com.au/the-biggest-...

The saddest thing about Albanese is that he aspired and worked his entire adult life to get to the position he is in, and then when he finally reached it he didn’t have any fucking idea what to do. What a waste of 40 years.

Trump didn’t corrupt America’s foreign policy. He revealed it For decades, US has sold the world a fairy tale: the benevolent superpower Strip away the rhetoric, the record is brutal. Coups, invasions, occupations, economic strangulation—always justified as noble crusades but always about power

The elephant in the room is the influence of the Israel Regime on the Trump US governments. It’s hard to know who is actually running this political agenda to carve up and occupy nations. Australian governments are under full frontal attack by the Israel ethnocracy regime as we speak. #auspol

🚨 Breaking | Northern Gaza 🇵🇸 Intensive Israeli airstrikes are being reported across multiple areas of the northern Gaza Strip, amid continued bombardment and escalating destruction.

"Australia is told [of] an unprecedented wave of antisemitism, a crisis requiring extraordinary measures, including a Royal Commission. But police data, court findings, and parliamentary evidence tell a very different story" #auspol michaelwest.com.au/antisemitism...

Instead of highlighting "a" single voice, a more illuminating headline might focus on why 55 literary and journalistic luminaries felt it necessary to withdraw from Adelaide Writers' Week and how Mali's mini-Minns antics trashed the reputation of one of his state's best assets.

As Australia experiences catastrophic bushfires, we're told 'now is not the time' to push for climate policies that are more than token. After the fires, we will be gaslit that massive fossil fuel exports - and new gas developments - have nothing to do with future disasters. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

I think this is a great summary of the Zionist influenced events in Australia recently. youtube.com/watch?v=UEdh...

Germany, which carried out the Holocaust, Israel which claims to represent the victims, and The IHRA which claims to exist to keep up the memory of the victims, all believe that Palestinians can and must be exterminated and that there should be no consequences for Israel and its genocidaires.

So the elephant in the room question is, why is the Albanese Labor Government supporting American-Israeli Christo Zionism whose values are at complete odds with *any* Australian values & who threaten the very fabric of our society rather than the Jewish Council of Australia who...2/

Best of 2025 Chris Sidoti: We have clear obligations under international law, and we should be very clear that if anybody subjected to an arrest warrant from the ICC sets foot in this country, that person will be arrested. These are simple steps, not dramatic steps, that we must take. #auspol #NPC

Please read our important post on the upcoming Adelaide Writer’s Week after their cancellation of speaker Randa Abdul-Fattah. Next week, we start our boycott of the Festival’s sponsors if nothing changes. Are you in? #ToYourBrooms

Always worth remembering that Rupert Murdoch will die having been the most malignant force in the world of the past 80 years. One of the few of whom you can say the world would be better had he never been born.

Where’s Tony Burke? It’s times like these you realise that arts ministers have no interest in defending the arts, and that govts are willing to burn millions of $ for political reasons. Adelaide’s board has just squandered millions of $ and months of work and countless opportunities for writers…

The Pauline Hansons of this world love Jews when they are killing brown people. If Israel's genocide of Palestinians ever ends, they will drop the Jewish community like a hot potato. #auspol #AntiPalestinianRacism

What is it that blinds our 'leaders' from the blatantly obvious? Unable to see and name a #genocide and now unable to clearly condemn outrageously illegal actions by Trump. Bigotry and denial. #StoptheGenocide #StopAUKUS #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

These writers have dropped out of the Adelaide Festival in support of Randa Abdel-Fattah. Buy their books and support them if you can

“Cultural sensitivity” means destroying an entire arts festival rather than allowing a Palestinian person to come along and talk about her new novel.

Interestingly the rise of serial dishonesty in politics matches the oligarchs increasing control of mainstream media. When journalists become minions for the oligarchs and the right in general the 4th estate ceases to function in calling out political dishonesty.

Peter Fitzsimons out of the Adelaide Writers Weeks as well. About as mainstream friendly as you can get (pretty much only books my dad reads). We are on the side of the good and the majority. Also good note re Louise Adler - she is very much being targeted by this. Zionists *want* her to resign

Didn’t take our media long to start both-sidesing the unmistakable murder of a citizen by an ICE agent in Minneapolis

Statement: Jewish Council Condemns Adelaide Festival Removal of Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah

Just proves we’re for sale to the loudest whingiest voices. And it actually hurts to see people I campaigned for fight for this BS. #FuckZionists ‘I’ve taken the time to reflect’: Anthony #Albanese bows to intense pressure, announces antisemitism royal commission.

@albomp.bsky.social Albanese is turning out to be an unprincipled coward for sale to the loudest voice or highest bidder. Trump, Netanyahu, Zionist lobbies, all own him completely. #auspol
