Not wrong…

Congratulations to Antoinette Lattouf and all who supported her. Could this judgement have implications for others in the media, arts & possibly universities who have been similarly punished by employers for saying that deliberate starvation & mass murder of civilians might be war crimes? #Auspol

Can we please name the pro-Israel lobbyists who pressured the ABC to break the law and can we also name the ABC Board members who supported the action. #ABC #auspol

Memo to #abc730: Mike Pezzullo was sacked from the APS for breaching its Code of Conduct FOURTEEN TIMES. He left in disgrace. He was officially stripped of his Order of Australia. Why is he now being given access to your prestigious platform?

You don't understand! The ALP government has to support Israeli genocide, US war crimes, the destruction of the rule of law, and the north west gas shelf, because it only has a 51 seat lead on the Coalition. Something something Murdoch. They're really progressive, I swear.

🙏 "We, Labor Against War, condemn the Aust govt’s support for the aggression that Trump is using against Iran. We believe it is illegal, we believe it’s inconsistent with the long-held Labor party’s support for the UN and for the UN charters." #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

From Howard to Albanese there is no real difference between our "major" parties. Both just American puppets serving the industrial military complex and letting the rest of us starve. I've had enough. Revolution anyone? #auspol

To be fair to Albo, if he wasn’t prepared to sanction a man with an international arrest warrant for genocide, he’s hardly likely to go against a rapist 🤔 #AusPol

A shameful decision. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Australia, through the contemptible PENNY WONG, supports the USA & Nazi-Israel's ILLEGAL bombing of Iran. WOW!!!!! #auspol

Every international legal expert: Israeli and US 'pre-emptive' strikes on Iran are a violation of international law and further undermine the so-called global rules-based order. Penny Wong: We're fine with that. As long as it's our genocidal allies doing it. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

I do not support airstrikes on Iran. There is no evidence of nuclear weapons. This is Iraq 2.0 Shame on the Albanese Labor Govt, sycophants of the US. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Of course, Penny Wong is out on the morning tv programmes supporting USA dropping bombs on Iran! "We support action that the US has taken", no we Australians don't actually! Support Australia! Listen to Australians! We don't support USA attacking Iran! #auspol

Just in : Albanese & Wong deny "weak response" to Iran situation - promising they will issue a clear statement as soon as Trump & Netanyahu's staff provide a detailed list of instructions with what to say and when to say them. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Over the years,Aust has stupidly followed the US into war (invading Iraq was based on US lies). This is not our war, so the Govt & politicians better keep us out of this mess. Netanyahu & Trump wanted this for their own gain. We don't need to spend years & $$ on a war started by 2 madmen. #auspol

Australia doesn’t need Trump. We need American institutions to remain functional. The obsession with chasing a meeting with a man who left the G7 early is political theatre, not foreign policy #auspol

Why do I get the feeling that what we are seeing is a potential repeat of Bush/Blair’s “weapon of mass destruction” in 2003? Saddam Hussein was not a good person (duh!) but in any war, it is typically the innocent that suffer the most! Hopefully AU doesn’t get dragged into this inadvertently #auspol

Signed any more bits of paper lately @albomp.bsky.social ? #auspol @australianlabor.bsky.social #spine #genocide

It’s the “weapons of mass destruction” lies that were used as a pretext to invade Iraq in 2003. Different faces, same lies. But will it work against Iran in 2025?

"China has not threatened Australia (or US) militarily. China’s "crime" is to have built an economy larger than the USA, with industrial breadth & depth that the United States not only does not possess but cannot hope to emulate." Paul Keating #uspol #auspol #AUKUS johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Australia's long-awaited NACC has turned out to be a damp squib. Its handling of the Robodebt RC recommendations has been a farce. Such recommendations from an eminent and experienced former Chief Justice of Queensland should have been pursued with greater seriousness. #auspol

Meanwhile in DC! #TacoTrump #nokings

LMFAO 😂 it’s zero people for the 🤡 clown show.

Australia is a remarkably safe country. Unlike China, it doesn’t share land orders with any other country. China has no motive to attempt the extremely difficult task of occupying Australia. #auspol #China

If I'm reading correctly, @senatorwong.bsky.social on #insiders this morning has once again stated that “Israel has the right to defend itself.” By committing genocide and acts of war, Senator? You are nothing more than a shill for the genocidal apartheid state of Israel. Resign. #auspol

So according to #ABCInsiders, Israel who is bombing Iran has a “right to defend itself” but nothing on whether Iran has the same right. It’s implied they don’t. They won’t ever mention a country being attacked by Israel has any right to defend itself. Apparently only Israel does.

Why has there never been outrage at Israel's nuclear weapons program? That program is precisely why it's neighbours might want their own deterrent too. Israel + nuclear bombs = good Anyone else in M.E. wanting them = bad

The Australia Institute estimates that over the life of the North West Shelf extension Woodside will sell up to $215 bn worth of our gas, without paying a cent in royalties. That would pay for a lot of housing, mental healthcare, dental care, healthcare & education. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...
