Israel guns down Palestinians approaching aid centres after weekend of bombing Gaza morningstaronline.co.uk/article/isra...

It’s been very underreported but the ABC has just gutted its arts and culture team. It will go down from 12 national arts, culture and entertainment reporters to 3. One of those will focused on writing PR for TV shows. It’s vandalism. We covered it on our podcast: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/l...

Trump has officially announced that “we” are at war with Iran. Does this include the allies of the US and of Israel? Are we party to this irrational religious war? @albomp.bsky.social, now is the time to step back from the US and Israel, #CancelAUKUS, set us free of this barbarity. #AusPol

They’re doing blatant class war ads now, incredible

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

Sanctions are a start but we need action to stop the genocide - that means ending the two-way arms trade and cancelling the $2 billion of weapons contracts the Australian Government has with Israeli companies

The Israeli navy just intercepted the Madelene - a civilian aid ship headed for Gaza. Australia says nothing. Silence isn’t neutrality, it’s complicity. Our government is watching a genocide unfold and choosing to look away. #FreePalestine #auspol #GretaThunberg #FreePalestine

Given Albo barely blinked when Israel murdered at least 181 journalists and other media workers in Gaza, I doubt this will move his hand. As an aside, guess where many US police go for special training? The answer will shock you!

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

Well @albomp.bsky.social ? #auspol

Pacific workers face 'appalling' housing, fear deportation if they seek medical care. An inquiry into modern slavery has heard harrowing tales of migrant workers living in overcrowded & "unliveable" accommodation, & of injured workers too afraid of deportation to seek medical care. #auspol

I'm very disappointed in #Albo and #Labor's decision to pull this planet-killing move for the sake of billionaires. #auspol #aupol

Anyone who understands climate change: Please don’t press the big red button marked DO NOT PRESS THIS BUTTON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, Murray. Murray (repeatedly pressing button): Watt?

Guess we got our answer.

So forcing people to be concentrated into small zones with limited food. I think there's a term for that. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

Here is a copy of the full ABC interview with APAN President Nasser Mashni (in two parts) which is now missing from the ABC News website. Israel is “not a democracy—it’s a rogue apartheid genocidal state, headed up by a war criminal. It’s time for Australia to do more than just talk.” Part 1—

Exclusive | Palestine advocate Nasser Mashni called for sanctions on Israel in an interview on the ABC. Now, the interview appears to have been taken down. @daanysaeed.bsky.social reports.

ACTU statement on the appalling atrocities in Gaza

Israel. Did. This. And most world leaders either look away, or actively enable the genocidal rogue state. Albanese, Wong & Marles now have huge political capital to act. But still all we get is words. #StopIsrael #auspol www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

Another day, another cultural institution failing to defend artists & their freedom of expression, this time the rescinding of a Fellowship to First Nations author Karen Wyld. State Library of Qld is the latest to capitulate in the face of pressure from News Corp & politicians dancing to its tune.

The unprecedented strike on Khan Younis is profoundly distressing – tens of thousands forced to flee under evacuation orders, while humanitarian zones are bombarded. Australia must sanction the Netanyahu government.

I remember this well. Imagine how much further along the path to a renewable energy system Australia would be if we hadn't lost all those years in the wilderness of the LNP's and mining magnates' climate wars. Looking at you Gina Rinehart, Tony Abbott, Rupert Murdoch #auspol #climate #ecocide

listen guys stop virtue signalling, eurovision is for everyone

This is Louie. He got a really bad haircut. And also a villain origin story. 13/10 (TT: maddiehilaski)

The ICC’s chief prosecutor has lost access to his email, and his bank accounts have been frozen. American staffers at the court have been told that if they travel to the U.S. they risk arrest. NGOs have stopped working with the ICC, the leader of one won’t even reply to ICC emails.

Black Smoke Rises From Coal-Fired Power Station in Traditional Sign That Liberal Party Has Chosen New Leader

Homes, hospitals, schools, water and road infrastructure bombed and in ruin. Blockade to stop aid and medical supplies. When will you stop appeasing Zionists and issue sanctions against Israel @senatorwong.bsky.social ? As Israel actions not defence but genocide. #auspol

Never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent. #Auspol
