Dear PM Anthony Albanese, can you confirm if the government and/or AFP are paying for the legal costs of AFP Commander Michael Chew and 4 other police to sue the ACT government for defamation regarding the Bruce Lehrmann rape cover-up? #auspol Anthony Albanese kangaroocourtofaustralia.com/2024/05/01/cor…

Israeli govt believes the international criminal court (ICC) set to file war crimes charges against Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials. Most likely to be charged with having 'deliberately starved Palestinians in Gaza' #auspol theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
