Lemme get this straight: the only country in the Middle East to have nukes and the only country to ever use nukes on civilians are bombing another country to stop it getting nukes, even though their own intel shows it's not trying to get nukes. Is that about right?

We are witnessing the first livestreamed genocide in history. Those who facilitate these crimes against humanity should face accountability — not those who have the humanity to oppose them. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Desperate to lock in #AUKUS 🤷‍♂️, @AlboMP wants to cuddle up to Trump. But should Australia embrace an authoritarian regime? Our leaders need to think about what that might mean for our democracy in the longer term. Much better to keep our distance. #auspol

The Flour Massacre happened 15 months ago - so named because the world was so shocked that Israel would massacre Palestinians waiting for food. Now, this atrocity is happening daily, & it’s become just another headline. And still,our governments do nothing. #gaza #genocide #starvation #hunger

Israel hasn't stopped gunning down the Palestinians they're starving, as those Palestinians try to feed themselves There is nothing wrong with continuing to say it: these are war crimes, this is genocide, this is murder. It must be stopped, and those perpetrating the crimes must be held accountable

Key aspect was that 1 in 5 people thought the changes to tax concessions of super balances over $3m would affect them. In reality, it's about 1 in 200. Easy test: if you don't know how much is in your super you won't be affected (because people with $3m in their super sure as sh*t know it)

Australians on the east coast are paying $16.24 per GJ for OUR gas, while the Chinese are set to pay $13.50 (including liquefaction and shipping costs of $2-$3 per GJ). Something is clearly wrong, but our Govt refuses to act. We need a retrospective gas reservation scheme now! #auspol

People may not [yet] see #AUKUS as the costly and dangerous farce that it is. But it's notable that the government's main spruiker of this dodgy deal - Richard Marles - is backed by both Scott Morrison and Joe Hockey. That should be a bigly red flag. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...
