The expulsion of students, termination of staff & the Uni’s highly selective disciplinary processes form a pattern. They all speak to the weaponisation & elite capture of the language of antiracism, cultural safety, antisemitism to shut down opposition to racial-colonial & imperial violence #Auspol

Under ANZUS, Australia should not have supported the US bombing of Iran. There was ample time for diplomacy. In earlier agreements with other presidents Iran had constrained their enrichment of uranium to the very low civilian reactor levels. #auspol #ANZUS #USIran

The US’s massive illegal strike against Iran is a clear violation of international law as are the Israeli government’s attacks on Iran and their continuing attacks on Gaza. #Auspol

Urgent action on rising energy debt. A full-time min wage worker has just $33 left after paying for rent, food & transport. A single parent on the min wage has just $1 left, even with government assistance. A family with 2 full-time workers & two children has only $5 remaining each week. #Auspol

Over a thousand Palestinians are under “critical” threat of forcible transfer by Israel after officials effectively ordered a large swath of Masafer Yatta to be turned into a live-fire training zone last week, in what it would amount to a “grave breach” of international law.

41 Palestinians have been slaughtered by Israeli forces while seeking food & humanitarian aid. This comes as UNICEF is warning #Gaza is facing a “man-made drought” with children at risk of dying from thirst due to Israel’s blockade. Totally okay with this @albomp.bsky.social ? #Auspol #Genocide

If ABC management wants to demonstrate that it has learned from the #AntoinetteLattouf case, here's an idea: Commission #4Corners to do an in-depth investigation into how the Israel lobby has built up such massive influence over Australian institutions. Including, or course, the ABC. #auspol

There is still no baby formula allowed into Gaza. Israel is not only bombing and shooting a starving, exhausted civilian population, it’s banned baby formula. Babies under 6 months can only have breastmilk or formula. Their mothers are starving and have no milk. Milk. Must. Enter.

The @albomp.bsky.social govt is being awfully quiet about Lattouf v ABC Not even any expressions of "grave concern" about the craven capitulation, unlawful behaviour & derogation of public interest journalism by ABC senior management? No interest in the integrity of the national broadcaster?

At last the ABC’s 7.30 report is holding powerful lobbies to account. UNICEF is utterly outraged by Israel’s crimes against humanity killing innocent children in Gaza. Enough is already too much. How long can Australia and the world community tolerate this egregious cruelty?

It can’t be that a soldier must obey an order that prevents him or her from revealing war crimes. Let’s hope the High Court agrees to hear David McBride’s appeal and correctly resolve the issue. #UnlawfulOrder #auspol

The Dept overseeing the govt's brutal mutual obligations scheme for income support recipients thinks a sign saying 'Free Palestine' causes distress. There is a trend of quiet censorship and fear of the pro-Israel lobby that is eroding the APS. It is unacceptable and it must stop.

Those beating the drums of war ignore the screams & grief from innocents – Australia’s leaders are going to have to decide whose interests they put first. If they continue to place #AUKUS at the heart of that decision then we already have the answer. We need Change. #Auspol #Genocide
