#auspol The ALP has a long history of pandering to special interest groups and is now well and truly captured by them. State capture results in 'hybrid' democracies, which means Albanese works for them, not us. All we are good for, it seems, is our vote! Murdoch has driven the capture.

Hi. It's called fascism. And yes they subscribe to the fascist ideologies of White and Jewish supremism. Interchangeably.

After decades of recovery, southern right whales are showing signs of a climate-driven decline in breeding rates, which scientists say is a “warning signal” about changes in the Southern Ocean. #climatecrisis #auspol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Eeeeek!! #auspol

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...

The King David School in Prahran had their students write moral support letters to IDF soldiers. Nothing should surprise you. There's a sizable section of our Jewish community that's up to its eyeballs in support for genocide.

An excellent & very fair question if FAIR is a consideration of our govts of all persuasions.

Naarm did understand the assignment. Well done! #ArrestHerzog.

If the NSW government has any interest in maintaining faith with its own public, it will ask the DPP to investigate police actions on Monday night without NSW Police involvement, with a view to prosecuting the cops who committed assaults. Or it can carry on blaming the victims; Minns' choice.

Thousands of people come out again and again to show they’re on the right side of history.

Again, I'm beginning to suspect our PM is really Scott Morrison in an Anthony Albanese mask. And when he's unmasked, he'll declare "And I would've gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling Greens and Independents!" #auspol #AUKUS #NACC #Climate #environment #GazaGenocide #HerzogVisit #FOI

If it were not enough that the Albanese government has refused to condemn Israel’s actions, refused to impose military and diplomatic sanctions, it then parades two men who have incited and facilitated the genocide of Palestinian people as special guests. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1447/an...

open this article for aerial footage showing police kettling the crowd in the block between Bathurst St and QVB.

Interaction? 𝘐𝘕𝘛𝘌𝘙𝘈𝘊𝘛𝘐𝘖𝘕? The woman was assaulted by the Police, @australia.theguardian.com. There were witnesses on the ground. Stop the whitewashing. #auspol #nswpol #PoliceViolence

Rowland: "The NACC is working as intended." You hit the nail on the head, Michelle - that's the very thing that worries us.

This is nothing but assault by police. Three of them are holding him while simultaneously punching him with force and for no reason. It wasn’t self defence. Criminal acts by police must be met with charges and maximum sentences. Police can not be ignorant of the law or hide behind badges.

It appears you no longer have the right to protest — First Dog on the Moon www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well gee, you invite the president of an apartheid state committing genocide into the country as a very special guest, and while they’re here you have to admit you think they’re a little excessive in their occupation. Awks! #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Ignoring First Nations speaks far more to the ethics of settlers than to Indigenous communities. A narrowly focused Royal Commission will not mend the systemic rifts required for social cohesion. Parliamentary manoeuvring for power cannot restore the peace we seek. blakandblack.com/2026/02/11/t...

My sympathy has long been with Jews in Australia who suffer actual Anti-Semitism. But my sympathy is no longer with Jews who want to be a part of the Australian community while acting as agents of the genocidal Israeli regime.

Cohesion. My @smh cartoon.

"What's she doing with my fur?? I hope she's not going to do that to me."

We knew from the moment we heard it that “social cohesion” would be one of those Orwellian terms which would be used to cover all manner of state sanctioned abuse and deprivation of civic freedoms. It fuels the very unrest it pretends to seek to quell.

Gas lobbyists report: meetings with ministers etc "at least 24 times since the Labor Government’s election in May 2022" No wonder Japanese mnc are exporting our gas on the cheap on on-selling it for a profit @kimwingerei.bsky.social #whatsthescam #auspol michaelwest.com.au/japan-wins-a...

Here's me. "Why the fuck would we 'socially cohere' for monsters?"

this could go on for hours

"Minns justified this approach, saying “most protesters had dispersed … but a small number didn’t”. Outright lies. Town Hall square was still jam packed with thousands when police violently attacked the crowd, unprovoked . www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1447/an...

Assaulting people while they pray peacefully in public is a new low for the Australian police. Shame on them. #Herzog #Gaza

-Cop grabs guy with his hands up by the shirt -Cop trips over his own bike, dragging guy with him by his bag -Other cops start viciously *punching* guy as the unco bike cop drags him along? Would almost be funny if it wasn't so disgusting. Psychos.

This... Bottlenecks were deliberately created. Confusion was manufactured. Then force was applied to the disorder police themselves had caused. This was not crowd control. It was crowd engineering.

Govt has lost control of the Herzog Israel 'social cohesion' narrative. Tonight's dinner sponsors links to IDF, land theft, plus latest #EpsteinFiles #auspol #protests @sstephanietrann.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/island-visit...

‘A Premier who dines with a leader accused of genocide, who has signed the bombs dropped on civilians, while his police break the arm of an 84-y-o woman, assault a woman with Parkinson’s, spray a seizing child in the face, and brutalise people at prayer has forfeited all moral authority to govern.’

So why was there so much police violence at the Sydney protest compared to everywhere else around the country? The answer is simple: Chris Minns. #nswpol #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Do. Not. Let. Them. Minimise. This. Armed state violence against peaceful prayer is peak Islamophobia and vicious racism and. We have very few codified constitutional freedoms and this is almost certainly unconstitutional. They are officers of the law.
