Some history was made today

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese recognises Palestine and his personal approval measured by Newspoll soars to highest in two years.

Record breaking penalty imposed on Qantas by the Federal Court today.

Your ABC. (Best wishes Dan Bourchier)

Australia now has no option but to immediately break diplomatic ties with #Israel & every other nation that is involved in #genocide anywhere in world. We must also insist that #Hamas has no role whatsoever in new nation of #Palestine.

Matthew Doran That’s good. It would be concerning if a war criminal was praising our PM.

“The risk of starvation is everywhere in Gaza. This is a direct result of the Israeli government's policy of blocking humanitarian aid,” says the U.N. human rights office, rejecting Netanyahu's efforts to blame everyone but himself. news.un.org/en/story/2025/…

The Butcher of Gaza will be long remembered

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

What a clap back by Tony Burke to the world's biggest terrorist, Crime Minister Netanyahu. 👏🏼 "Strength is not measured by how many people you can blow up, or how many children you can leave hungry." Damn right!

It’s beyond time to kick out the Israeli Ambassador and sack Segal Time to treat Zionism as a disruptive and dangerous cult Time to deport a few troublemakers too How much of this do we have to put up with? #auspol timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry… Deliberate

What did all that “closest of friends” guff from Australia achieve, during the first 22 months of Israel’s bloodthirsty destruction of Gaza…? abc.net.au/news/2025-08-1…

It suits Israel to not have our diplomats in the West Bank. They could bear witness to the increasingly vicious settler violence against Palestinians.

Bruce Lehrmann is effectively in court arguing he wants it to be seen that he’s a non violent rapist not a violent rapist while ignoring the reality ALL rape is violent. He STILL doesn’t get it. #auspol

The Anthony Albanese Government has been correct IMO… Recognition of Palestine Greater focus on our region in the Pacific Repair of China trade relations Politely ignoring the Orange Idiot

Overjoyed to read the news that the talented, principled journalist Dan Bourchier is returning to NITV as General Manager and as a senior journalist with SBS News. ABC's huge loss is SBS' gain. 🙏 😊

A reminder that Israel's genocidal strategy in Gaza involves blocking not only food from starving people but also medical equipment from people who urgently need it -- this time, ICU beds coming from the World Health Organization (WHO). x.com/cnnipr/status/…

It is deeply disturbing that matters of war and peace, democracy and autocracy, depend on stroking and flattering the fragile ego of the mercurial, self-absorbed Trump. trib.al/KQp3H7l

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…

Any peeps around Brisbane airport keep an eye out for this poor wee dog who escaped from a crate
