Cripes our media is so broken. The set up, the questions, the fact that they are asking Peter Dutton about this.

I feel like Lachlan and Rupert Murdoch being forced out of the company by the ethical Murdoch siblings could be just the good news story the world desperately needs right now.

Federal government should initiate a wholesale review of ABC governance, charter, complaints process, independence etc. What’s been revealed in the past week is an indictment on basically every layer of management. And it’s only been revealed by this case. Imagine what we don’t know.

US citizens Rupert/Lachlan Murdoch’s TheAustralian hyperpartisan megaphone lambasts Albanese and Rudd even before our PM’s phone call to Trump re steel/aluminium tariffs. Murdochs are double agents posing as Australians. See also AUKUS taxpayer $A sinkhole.

This is what is needed to combat Dutton. Balls, intelligence and, more importantly, passion and fire. Labor need to watch these videos, study them and get back to taking the opposition on and destroying them. #Auspol youtu.be/0JcNlese0ig?...

Article 7 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court provides that "deportation or forcible transfer of population" is a crime against humanity. Australia is a party to the Rome Statute and obliged to enforce its provisions. Trump's plan to remove the population of Gaza is criminal.

The forcible displacement of 2.2 million people from Gaza is not an “audacious” or “controversial” idea of Trumps. It’s ethnic cleansing, it’s criminal, the forced and permanent displacement of Palestinians.

Dear @australianlabor.bsky.social THIS 👇 needs to be the template for every campaign ad. Let Albo stand on his record AND make Dutton explain his record of opposing everything. #auspol #AusVotes2025 Image credit: @michaelspring17.bsky.social

The last thing I'll say is if you're outside of the US— Look at what's happening as a lesson to take your country/local politics and elections seriously. The political trends in other countries around the globe are growing more right-wing and are not so far behind what's happening here in the US.

Peter Dutton says he won’t be following Trump’s playbook. He’ll cut public services (which ones?); he’ll dump level playing field (DEI); he’ll pull down the Aboriginal flag; and he’ll drill-baby-drill effectively dumping net zero 2050. Sounds Trumpist don’t it?

Today & always, we stand in solidarity with First Nations communities, acknowledging the deep pain & resilience of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. January 26 for many is a day of reflection, mourning, resistance—a reminder of the ongoing fight for justice, truth-telling, & sovereignty

At dawn, near the Shrine, at a place called Camp Sovereignty, First Nations people, and allies, began a day of mourning by reading out hundreds of massacres that took place in Victoria since colonisation. This is the truth of our history, and on January 26, the very least we can do is acknowledge it

"The most awkward thing about Australia's rightward lurch is how nakedly derivative it is" With Rinehart at Trump's inauguration, and Dutton warning of impending 'anti-woke revolution', "Australia got its clearest view yet of what happens when political desperation meets intellectual bankruptcy."

I think this is one of my favourite colourful climate chart type things, because it depicts two things at once: - Things are going to get worse, no matter what - The degree to which they get worse depends on decisions made today theconversation.com/my-new-dark-... by @edhawkins.org

John Lyons is one of the few Australian mainstream media journalists who speak truth about Gaza, Israel, and Biden's role. It's a credit to his professionalism and courage. And an indictment of most MSM reporters and editors who are sucked in by Israel lobby junkets and propaganda.

Jailing children, and cruelty to asylum seekers - that's Australia's reputation. Yes, we need a national Bill of Rights. But fundamentally, we need politicians with the guts to follow the evidence, act with humanity, and challenge the lies from #MurdochGutterMedia. www.sbs.com.au/news/article...

What does this ceasefire really mean? Donald Trump says it’s “EPIC”. It’s not. It’s merely a Band-aid on a badly bleeding patient. Unless the world pushes for a political rather than military solution there will be more killing of Israelis & Palestinians. My new column www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...
