This is all grimy amusing to watch. An extremist Israeli government slamming the Australian Prime Minister. The local Zionist lobby freaking out because although they hate Anthony Albanese for being insufficiently lacking in pro-Israel fervour, they worry that Netanyahu's actions

When I started my PhD at Columbia University Israel had bombed Gaza multiple times. That’s the Palestine I knew. Once, in class, I asked a respected scholar: Why can the West debate migration laws endlessly, but colonized peoples can’t ask European settlers to return to their homelands?

Australia’s biggest miners have pocketed almost $60BN in diesel tax subsidies in <20 years. Unless we act, taxpayers lose $84BN more by 2030. It makes no sense for 🇦🇺ns to pay tax while coal giants get a free pass. End this fossil fuel subsidy now. afr.com/companies/mini…

We have our foot on the accelerator & the brake with decarbonisation - we effectively pay big mining companies to use fossil fuels. Capping diesel tax credits & transforming part into a decarbonisation incentive would reduce the mixed signals. #auspol

The NDIS has transformed many lives but spiralling costs threaten its future. I welcome the minister’s acknowledgement that we must tackle this. We must strengthen eligibility while working with states to provide a greater range of supports beyond individualised care.

Just when you think that Israel’s depravity & utter evil cannot sink any lower, the government finds new depths to plummet. The invasion of Gaza city is already taking place to forcibly displace even more previously uprooted Palestinians, while the mass murder through violent

Bloody hell. You're right. Sussan Ley calling Harbour Bridge exercise a "hideous protest," - beyond just being dead wrong - is politically unwise in my view. Libs have just 5/29 Sydney seats. Sydney by and large supports Palestine. And all who turned out, are "hideous"? #auspol

In the last yr, Australian taxpayers have subsidised mining companies’ use of 6bn litres of diesel. It’s hard to believe that our govt is still subsidising fossil fuels for mining companies, rather than incentivising them to switch to clean energy alternatives.

You know what else jeopardises the social license of NDIS, Mark Butler MP? Only 16,000 out of 260,000 service providers are registered? And the unregistered ones are allowed to operate? Why? Sounds fishy #npc #auspol

Kick the Israeli ambassador out: Netanyahu and his genocidal cronies have interfered in Australia's domestic affairs for far too long crikey.com.au/2025/08/20/ben…

No, pathetic, spineless, disgraceful BBC News (UK) - this is not a "controversial" project- it is an illegal war crime, designed to make a Palestinian state Impossible & ignores 47 UN Resolutions Israel approves controversial West Bank settlement project bbc.com/news/articles/…

Just when it seems there are no words left to describe the living hell in Gaza, a new one has been added: “famine”. This is not a mystery — it is a man-made disaster, a moral indictment and a failure of humanity itself. Famine is not only about food; it is the deliberate

Israel has started the invasion of Gaza City, and is now annihilating one of its most historic neighborhoods – Mondoweiss How could the world allow this??? It is terrifying. And horrifying. And the media/politicians excusing are entirely complicit. mondoweiss.net/2025/08/israel…
