picked it, I definitely did not pick Dutton and Joyce leveraging an Anzac Day ceremony to align themselves and their parties with actual nazis. No bar too low I guess.

Absolutely @davemilbo.bsky.social =Gaza is no more a war than an ant has with a boot. It's an Annihilation, Genocide, Slaughter, Murder. Even the term 'War Crime' is completely inaccurate. I feel like @amyremeikis.bsky.social = traumatised & angry about media/political complicity #SundayShot #auspol

In Dec ‘23 I shared a @hrw post on Israel using starvation as a tool of war. ABC blamed it for my firing. In March ‘24 ICJ warned of widespread famine ordering Israel to let food in. In April ‘25 Israel still starves Gaza. Hindsight? I’d share my original post again. And again

Shocking, I know - but turns out the $1300 bill increase we keep hearing about is extremely misleading #auspol Specifically, it is based on DMO increase for resi customers on controlled load in Endeavour network region (with $275 added on top) Approx <1% customers www.aap.com.au/factcheck/ex...

Here's bit of an explainer I was involved in on how the NEM works, and the energy transition unfolding within it. (..including why it's a tough gig for 'baseload' technologies .. like nuclear) 🔌💡 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

Right as Neo-Nazis were interrupting an Indigenous welcome to country with screamed abuse, News Corp ran a massive splash advertisement from a political party that said "SICK OF BEING WELCOMED TO COUNTRY" The Age published a FRONT PAGE AD that said the same. Fucking hell, Australian media.

So which is it News dot com dot au You literally are saying the event that happened was disgraceful whilst the top banner ad is literally part of the reason that the act occurred. Your staff didn't even think to pause the ads today.

The welcome to country was booed at the Melbourne dawn service. This group of bad actors, "Advance", has been aggressively sowing hate and division behind-the-scenes against the Indigenous ceremony. Advance is quietly funded by the Liberal Party. (ICYMI:) theklaxon.com.au/liberal-part...

BREAKING: A new Gaza solidarity encampment is being built at Yale, one year after dozens were arrested here. They demand immediate divestment from Israeli weapons manufacturing. Despite the Trump admin abducting activists like Mahmoud Khalil nationwide, hundreds of are here anyway. FREE PALESTINE!

#MaxChandlerMather The #ABC has written an article on #housing and 'how young people are shaping the election' without mentioning the #Greens once. The last quarterly #Newspoll for 18 - 34yr olds: Greens: 28% #Labor: 31% #LNP: 28% Seems strange to exclude #THEGreens #AUSPOL #AusVotes25

Israel has murdered another journalist along with her family. Horrific, unending warcrimes. Yet still, Australia and @albomp.bsky.social say and do nothing. Effectively abandoning our long standing commitment to the principle universal human rights and the Geneva conventions.

An unpopular view, but if the Trump administration forces to rethink how it does international collaboration and stop requiring air miles for career progression, that might be a good thing. #academicsky

The UK is certainly looking to ban gender affirming care for trans adults as well. Seems like they'll ban private care and then force everyone into an NHS system that has 10+ year waiting lists and will only do endless gatekeeping and never prescribe hormones.

Israel violated the ceasefire it had signed so as to murder 1,500 people, injuring 3,700 others in the process. For 'good' measure, it has also been starving the survivors of food and medicine. And the West continues to fret about Trump's on-off tariffs! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Israel — on trial for genocide at the ICJ, with leaders under ICC arrest warrants — bans journalists from Gaza to hide its genocide with lies & hasbara. The evidence of war crimes is overwhelming — yet the UK government still refuses to implement a full arms embargo & sanctions.

It is shocking that, in the midst of a genocide, Australia’s major universities hosted events organised by Zionist organizations that work with the the Israeli military, with speakers who also work with the occupation army. Read Wendy Bacon on the push-back. michaelwest.com.au/idf-courts-a...
