Yup, international law is just so quaint and nostalgic when our allies are the ones breaking it. But God forbid someone we have designated a threat step anywhere near the lines we’re hastily pretending never existed

The UN, international rules based order is pretty much done. And Australia’s govt said not a word of compliant. Might is right. Albanese has not grasped that China, North Korea, Russia and anyone else can now claim the precedent of the Iran Bombing as justification for “pre-emptive” attacks.

This in the SMH is pure unadulterated Trump propaganda

ALP chooses war-mongers Trump and Netanyahu over intl law and basic morality.

The cruelty and racism of the Trump movement is disgusting. People who’ve lived in America for 30 years are being dragged out of their homes as a performative stunt so Trump can make his supporters feel good about being white. That’s what’s happening. Trump voters chose this because they’re insecure

Didn’t think we’d see another bullshit WMD excuse for a war being so easily swallowed by the worlds media. But here we are.

In the spring of 2008, I feared America was on the verge of war with Iran — and, believing that it’s good style to get to know people before you bomb them, I made “Rick Steves’ Iran,” a one-hour special that could (and would) only debut on PBS. Sadly, this special has become pertinent again today.

It’s almost 2yrs since the day Commissioner Catherine Holmes handed down her final report on Robodebt & referred those responsible for criminal prosecution. It was a day we felt like finally something was happening. I’m so sorry to all victims who are STILL waiting for justice.

We need bold tax reform. Productivity is falling, living costs are rising & intergenerational inequality is growing. It's time for a fairer system that drives innovation, cuts pollution, & makes fossil fuel multinationals pay their share by fixing the PRRT and ending subsidies. #TaxReform #auspol

ABC insists on calling on Joe Hockey for his 'expertise' on #AUKUS. They identify him as former ambassador to the US. But fail to note that he is a current lobbyist for weapons companies in the US and Australia. aka conflict of interest. #ThisIsNotJournalism #auspol www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

Greta Thunberg and 11 other activists are risking their lives to feed starving people, and we’re down to the last 48 hours of their mission, Israel has threatened them numerous times… and hardly a fucking word from news outlets All eyes on the #FreedomFlotilla All eyes on Palestine

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Anyone else think this stinks? I know they hand them out like Tim tams but really…. to that grifting, incompetent fool!

If there is a public petition demanding this to be revoked I want to sign it. This cruel and disgusting person deserves nothing. The Kings awards mean nothing.

Remember: If unions didn’t matter, powerful corporations wouldn’t spend millions of dollars every year to stop workers from organizing. Keep up the fight.

Death spiral of gas networks is the "500lb gorilla" standing in way of energy transition. Here's a solution reneweconomy.com.au/death-spiral...

Opinion | A staggering 86% of Australians want stronger protections for whistleblowers. The Albanese government must listen to them.

Labor and the Coalition are on a unity ticket to screw the planet and the Australian public all at once - North West Shelf gas extension will deliver ‘almost nothing’ to Australia’s public purse... #auspol

This is what all supporters of Woodside’s fossil methane gas extraction & export need to understand. There is virtually no upside for Australia, but plenty of downsides: •Destruction of cultural heritage •Destruction of habitat •Threatening endangered species •Massive increase in carbon emissions…

The French government will not approve blowing up French heritage. This is Australian governments approving blowing up Aboriginal heritage. Big difference.

The ongoing loss of life, starvation and human suffering in Gaza is unconscionable and I do not accept that Australia's influence is limited. I have written to the Prime Minister asking him to use the authority of his office in a stand against the actions of Israel. #gaza #auspol bit.ly/4mz81ut
