Absolutely blows my mind that Labor MPs like @tonyburkemp.bsky.social and @jasonclaremp.bsky.social think this makes them look tough before the election when in reality it just looks like they're spitting in the faces of the actual voters in their own electorates.

Difficult to overstate just how concerning the new Australian university definition of antisemitism is — making criticism of Israel quite likely to constitute misconduct under Australian university policies www.jewishcouncil.com.au/media/jewish...

"Some controversy was generated" about Sasabi's prior works, says Adrian Collette. Rather than using the opaque passive voice, Mr Collette should explain how the controversy was generated & how it manifested itself. Was it more than a few jabs in the Murdoch press & Chandler's specious question?

Let's be clear - RUSSIA STARTED THIS WAR! I met with the Ukrainian Ambassador last week and told him I will keep supporting Ukraine's fight for freedom from tyranny. On 24 Feb 2022 Russian military forces invaded Ukraine from Belarus, Russia & Crimea. #StandwithUkraine #auspol

What the fuck is going on with our national cultural institutions?? First Creative Australia and now the National Gallery betrays artists and their very raison d'etres with these utterly shameful acts of artistic censorship. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

Getting my car serviced. Found a copy of the Murdoch Shitigraph in the waiting room. What a foul, sleazy little rag it is.

AUS mainstream news media: If a lesbian couple feel unsafe bc of the actions of a male cabbie or a white policeman ignoring their complaint, the reporting will focus on criticising the words of the non-white member of the couple, rather than on the fact the women felt unsafe. #sexism #racism 😔

ICYMI: Niki Savva on Dutton’s failure to person up for a National Press Club speech & other accountability evading tactics. What’s he scared of? Journos should start & keep asking, don’t you think? www.smh.com.au/politics/fed... #auspol

After Trump proposed the US take over of Gaza, talk of antisemitism has mellowed. Surely antisemitism isnt linked to atrocities by Israel😡

There’s a lot about this story that just doesn’t add up. The cops obviously know a lot they are not telling us. Which is fair enough. Thank heavens, though, we can rely on Dutton and that little twerp Paterson to whip up fear and distrust.

Something not mentioned in this excellent unpacking of sloppy journalism is that these claims traffic controllers earn $200k also appears to be a gendered dog whistle given many people who do that job are women www.abc.net.au/news/2025-01...

For me, Scott Morrison has always been the perfect example of the smirking selfishness of evangelical Pentecostal Christianity. He has the delusional narcissistic belief that God is on his side, and God has great plans for him, a shouty-angry smug thug bullyboy. #auspol #religion

McKinsey has copped a $US650m fine & a guilty plea to obstruction of justice for helping Purdue Pharma "turbocharge" sales of OxyContin despite knowing it was lethally addictive & that Purdue had already pleaded guilty to crimes relating to its sale. How is this criminal operation still trading?

Well done @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social grappling with that slippery blancmange masquerading as “debate.” In fact all O’Brien did was obfuscate on CSIRO capacity to measure, attack Labor’s energy costs, & promise “next week!” Again. Plain weird. @abc730

That dickhead James Paterson is blathering today that Australia-Israel relations are at their lowest ebb. Er no. That was in 2010, when Israel forged four Australian passports for a Mossad assassination operation. I suppose Paterson was still in kindergarten then.

Apparently 'extreme' according to Peter Dutton is Australia voting with 156 countries (and many allied nations/partners) at the UN. It's extreme now to be on the right side of an issue, along with the vast majority of the world, because Israel and the US don't agree.

More on Israel’s war crimes, atrocities and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Hard to label this guy “anti-Semitic.”
