Australia will recognise the state of Palestine!! 🇵🇸 Now we need sanctions on Israel, an end to the arms trade, and an end the violence, oppression and occupation for a free Palestine!

Children in #Gaza are dying from starvation and bombardments. Entire families, neighbourhoods, and a generation are being wiped out. Inaction and silence are complicity. It’s time for statements to turn into action and for an immediate #Ceasefire.

Recognition of Palestine MUST be combined with actions to stop the genocide. With the deliberate assassination overnight of Al-Jazeera journalists and plans to permanently occupy Gaza, the Australian government must take meaningful action and suspend military ties to Israel!

This is new! Israel's Army confesses to killing journalists intentionally. Till now, they either denied they had killed them or spoke of 'collateral damage'. Now, the IDF has reached new depths of depravity, in full view of world public opinion. theguardian.com/world/2025/aug…

Every government needs to talk about what they are doing to solve the problem of nuclear weapons during the UN General Assembly this year. Most are on board the #nuclearban, but everyone has to say and do something during this 80th anniversary year. icanw.org/80_ga_call?rec…

Since Mar 2024 I’ve warned the UN I serve at great personal cost: the destruction of Gaza’s health system is clear proof of genocidal intent. I’m in disbelief at its paralysis. States must break the blockade, send NAVIES with aid, and stop the genocide.History will not forget.

When the US bombed Hiroshima & Nagasaki in 1945, they didn’t just kill Japanese citizens. Tens of thousands of Koreans were there, many forced laborers. An estimated 40,000 Koreans were among the 210,000+ killed. Read more ⬇️ icanw.org/the_neglected_… #NuclearBan

Gov reaffirming salmon farming expansion in Mac Harbour shows appalling disregard for the natural environment. Obsessed with appeasing big business, they’d rather offer hollow apologies later for driving the Maugean skate to extinction than take real action now. #auspol #politas

UN experts urge international community to reject Taliban’s violent & authoritarian rule in #Afghanistan. The Taliban’s institutionalised system of discrimination & oppression amounts to the crime against humanity of persecution on grounds of gender. ohchr.org/en/press-relea…

Days before being killed in a targeted attack by Israeli forces, Anas al-Sharif was offered a deal: stop covering Gaza, and he and his family could leave safely. That's what his brother told Al Jazeera Mubasher. Anas’ brother says the Al Jazeera journalist chose to keep

#BREAKING: A new outbreak of disease has been reported in factory fish farms on the Huon Channel in southern Tasmania. This is the same disease that caused almost 3 million salmon to die a horrible, suffering death in the summer this year. More updates to come. #politas

There has been a 'Category A' serious nuclear incident at Falsane naval base in Scotland, the home to Britain's nuclear submarine fleet. Australia can't afford - financially or environmentally - to host US nuclear submarines through AUKUS. Quit AUKUS now. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/b…
