Ask this question… In the age of #AUKUS, with its nuke subs & US nuke bombers stationed here—why would this possibly be happening…👇 GIANT U.S. MILITARY CONTRACTOR BACKING AUSTRALIAN NUCLEAR WASTE DUMP FOR GLOBAL WASTE New investigation by Declassified Australia declassifiedaus.org/2025/05/31/u...

New from Declassified Australia: THE PLAN TO BOMB IRAN ‘The war strategy towards Iran was published in a policy paper outlining how the US could use Israel to fight the war against Iran, while justifying it with a false narrative of failed negotiations.’ declassifiedaus.org/2025/06/19/t...

Greta Thunberg is still a hero: “We are doing this because no matter what odds we are against, we have to keep trying, because the moment we stop trying is when we lose our humanity,” she said. www.timesofisrael.com/greta-thunbe...

Can Australians ever reconcile themselves with the reality of profound moral injury done by the nation’s inaction over the Israeli genocide in Gaza? It is time to take our indifference to the Gaza horror seriously. johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

‘The Sunday Shot’ streams on YouTube at 9am AEST each Sunday — & it’s very different from ‘Insiders’. #TheSundayShot’s Jo Dyer and Dave Milner are joined this week by guests Amy Remeikis from @TheAusInstitute and Peter Cronau from @DeclassifiedAus. See it here - youtube.com/@TheSundayShot

Opposition to the rising fascism is a bowl of mashed potatoes.

The same is needed on @ABCnews Middle East coverage—following staff protest letter, no confidence vote on Director, resignations, sidelinings, claims of censorship, Lattouf court case, research showing bias, & more. ‘BBC boss wants review on Mid East coverage’ www.independent.co.uk/voices/bbc-g...

Fabulous to see due recognition for the Pacific journalism of Jemima Garrett: eepurl.com/i_lUl-/

It beggars belief to think Australian Signals Directorate didn’t pick up the advance warning communicated by Chinese Navy ships of planned live-fire exercise in the Tasman Sea. Obligated to pass this information to Defence command, thereby to civil authorities and the minister. So what happened?

Can you see what @ABCnews is doing?

Can I suggest that since the ABC is acknowledging that News Corp are "agenda driven" in attacking the ABC, that they acknowledge News Corp is "agenda driven" on everything, and therefore the ABC should not amplify News Corp's political agenda and platform their staff? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

How does @ABCnews explain these repeated days of dozens of references to Peter Dutton with barely a word on Albanese? Analyst: “We are not dealing with an aberration… It is impossible to believe this is accidental.“ x.com/thenoisytrun...

Clive Palmer’s political party “Trumpet of Patriots” has just released its campaign poster.

Another @ABCnews hire from Murdoch: ABC: Isn't it dumbfounding a first-term PM is claiming underdog—you recognise you're a bit on the nose with the electorate? PM:You're verballing me. ABC:Well that's my job. PM: No, it's not actually. It's not the job of the ABC. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

US Forces still give the nod. “There was a degree of subservience. Now that has been taken to a new dangerous illogical & expensive extreme with the [$368bn+] #AUKUS deal. “This is the worst deal that we’ve ever seen done by a sovereign Australian government.” www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

So many experienced ABC staff — former and current — are disgusted at the censorship and bias of some at the ABC. 👇

The testimony by the ABC Managing Director is not putting our @ABCaustralia into a very favourable light. In fact, it is very very dark down at the bottom of the hole it is digging for itself. Read what’s happening for yourself…👇 x.com/consortiumne...

Why would @ABCnews editors decide truth about Israel is ‘hatred’? "Her socials are full of antisemitic hatred," Mr Anderson in a text message to Mr Oliver-Taylor.’ ABC managing director David Anderson evidence at Lattouf court case www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

This @ABCnews imbalance needs addressing, urgently, by the News management team. “Israeli guests were featured more than twice as often as Palestinian guests. “Guests supporting Israel were universally permitted to make lurid, unverified claims without challenge.“ johnmenadue.com/palestinian-...

“Fuck” explained. “Rupert Murdoch doesn't just own ‘the news’. He's an oil baron. He sits on boards with defence contractors. Murdoch's assault on our democracy far more offensive & disrespectful than swear words on a T-shirt.” theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Antisemitism is a subset of racism. Should condemn all racism and its violent outcomes of holocaust and genocide. ‘Wong urges unity 'across political difference' on Holocaust Remembrance Day’ - ABC News www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

Celebrate the date of the armed British Navy Royal Marines landing on Eora land, the commencement of the contested military invasion & forced settlement of a sovereign country? Is that a trick question? Remember the date, interrogate it, discuss it, commemorate it. Sure. But celebrate? #january26

Close The Gap, feed the hungry, house the homeless, replenish the poor, educate the yearning, treat the suffering, sooth the anxious, sign the treaty, respect the Law. Then there’s something to celebrate.

It’s ‘Australia Day’, by jingo. Jingoism: Noun; an attitude of belligerent nationalism, or a blind adherence to the rightness or virtue of one’s own nation, society, or group, simply because it is one’s own. The term originated in England during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78.

Dear BlueSky peeps, I have a favour to ask. It’s super important, otherwise I wouldn’t ask. By all means continue here in BlueSky land, basking in sunshine. But back on Xitter, you are needed. So please return. We need to fight the battle against the you-know-who’s on their terrain—and we will win.

"We urge the Russian government to fully adhere to its obligations under international humanitarian law" -A/g Foreign Minister Mark Dreyfus. But Israel can violate international law - including genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity - with impunity. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

The bloodsoaked reality of impunity by the little upstart country protected by the world’s largest military force.

"Australia is not being a good neighbour." - Gitty Yee, Tuvalu CAN #auspol Pacific Elder's Voice have issued an open letter, pointing out the hypocrisy of Australian leaders, who make promises of #climate action to Pacific leaders but do the opposite when they return to Australia ⤵️

Still can’t ‘get’ this Bluey Sky thingy — I mean it seems nice enough. But I’m not sure. Meanwhile back on Xitter things are roaring along — anyone being noxious gets blocked. And almost all the old gang are there. There’s that.
