"Apologists for Israel might want to reject the charge of genocide [and] suggest its hyperbole or even antisemitic, but the actual experts on genocide know a genocide when they see one - and they see one in Gaza." My receipts on all the experts who say Gaza is a genocide. zeteo.com/subscribe

Hey Albo … It’s G E N O C I D E. Why is the Israeli ambassador still on our shores, why do we have any dealings with Elbit Systems, why are we exporting arms parts to Israel. Why has your Government not condemned and boycotted Israel? #auspol #Gaza #Genocide @albomp.bsky.social

In Australia, Donald Trump’s 1986–87 bid to build Sydney’s first casino was rejected after police warned the New South Wales government of potential ties to organized crime, according to cabinet records revealed in 2017.

I like this “it is the soil that matters not just the rotten harvest” We do well to remember that when at times our media focuses too much on our political leaders.

Mussolini’s Italy expelled university professors who opposed fascism. Franco’s Spain replaced university academics with regime loyalists Nazi Germany removed Jewish professors & left-leaning scholars. Academia is a threat to unified ideology. It’s why fascist regimes always target it.

If Senator Murray Watt approves the North West Shelf extension, his legacy will forever be as the man who destroyed the oldest rock art on the planet. It will be an act of vandalism so gross that nothing he can do in politics thereafter could counter the damage.

Labor has a simple choice: - #savemurujuga and preserve one of the most significant, ancient environmental and cultural sites, or - enable more profits for the fossil fuel industry to increase global heating. That this is even up for debate shows how debased our politics has become. #auspol

I know this looks like climate nerd stuff but the stakes are actually massive for all of us: accountability on fossil fuel elimination is being wrecked by dodgy math that allows the pretence that trees are re-absorbing the carbon we dig up from underground and move to the atmosphere

Israel is still using starvation as a weapon. The UN warns 14000 babies in Gaza may die within hours I see this in Dec 23 when @hrw.org sounded alarm. ABC fired me for this “controversial” post after being lobbied If more journalists “controversially” traded in facts not fear where might we be?

Firing on children, women and now diplomats. When a country crosses every red line and the world fails to act, it emboldens the worst regimes on the planet. This is a global disaster. Sanctions, weapons bans, action.

It's not really deportation if people are sent to countries where they never lived. It's a human trafficking ring. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

On 19/4/1943, the world had one duty: to defend the Jews who were being pulverised by the Nazi war machine crushing the Warsaw ghetto. Today the world has one duty: to defend the Palestinians who are being pulverised by the Israeli army in the Gaza ghetto www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Right after the UK, France, and Canada warned that they will take "concrete actions" if Israel does not de-escalate its violence in Palestine, Israel shoots at diplomats from those nations.

Remember that line they solemnly say every time there’s an institutional incident that people failed to speak up about: “the standard you walk past is the standard you accept”? Does it apply to allies committing war crimes?

The ABC claims “balance” but gives Israeli voices 3x more airtime than Palestinians, interrupts genocide claims, platforms pro-Israel think tanks without disclosure, and sidelines global consensus. This isn’t journalism, it’s Israeli state-aligned PR. #auspol #Gaza #Genocide

Today, EnergyAustralia has been forced to admit what @australiainstitute.org.au research has long shown: Carbon offsets are a total sham & do nothing to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Time for the govt to stop trumpeting them as the answer. They are not www.energyaustralia.com.au/about-us/med...

The North West shelf decision will be the Gov’s first test on climate: will they approve the dirty gas carbon bomb of Woodside's Burrup Hub extension? You can't protect the climate or nature by approving a project that would use 91% of the government's net zero 2050 carbon budget.
