The govt’s proposed Deportation Bill would have seen Nades & Priya put in jail, just because they resisted being forced back to danger in Sri Lanka. There are many other families around Aus like the Nadesalingams, who have been living here, working & raising their kids for 10yrs.

Something historic is happening in Paris. It is now past midnight, and the pro-Palestine protests are continuing in the French capital, slamming Israel’s massacres of refugees in Rafah. France’s citizens have had enough of Israel’s depravity. 🇵🇸 🇫🇷

Senator Wong has described Israel's massacre of refugees in Rafah as "unacceptable". If all Labor can muster in response to this unspeakable horror are trite banalities then they are complicit in Israel's war crimes and not fit for office. Ceasefire now. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.
