I saw this and at first thought "no, there's no way 'we definitely had alternative leadership in mind for Iran but I blew them up alongside the schoolgirls using AI' is what the White House is actually saying, that's too clueless and evil to be real"

Extreme rhetoric in right-wing political circles deserves more attention The rhetoric in Australia's right-wing political circles is getting more extreme and the media should be paying more attention.

Tear gas history - it's banned in warfare, so why can police use it?

The White House said in June, and I quote, "Iran’s Nuclear Facilities Have Been Obliterated — and Suggestions Otherwise are Fake News"

Oil painting of a brown tuxedo tabby with a kind, angelic face.

The painting I commissioned of Fergus came in the mail tonight and I just burst into tears as soon as I unwrapped it. The way it captures his gentle spirit is incredible but it’s also a powerful happy/sad emotional punch in the chest. 💔

“Muerte a los enemigos del pueblo”: detuvieron a un simpatizante Antifa por amenazas a Patricia Bullrich Le encontraron varias armas, réplicas de un fusil de asalto AK-47, cinturones con municiones de grueso calibre y materiales para la fabricación de cócteles molotov

The journalist sets the sights, the cops pull the trigger.

A few days ago the "Ministry of National Security" raided the home of an antifascist graphic designer. He remains in detention & is accused of "public threats & intimidation" for a design of his reading "death to the enemies of the people."

How a 20yo living with his parents allegedly plotted a terror attack History was made in WA when police charged a person for the first time with preparing a terrorist attack. What do we know?

'A mass casualty terrorist attack allegedly planned to be carried out in Perth and motivated by white supremacy has been foiled with the arrest of a 20-year-old man, police say.'

Iran: An Uprising Besieged from Within and Without Three perspectives on the uprising that began in Iran on December 29, 2025, and the forces that threaten it from within and without.

"Any military or imperial intervention can only weaken the struggle from below and strengthen the Islamic Republic’s hand to carry out repression."

There are genuine grassroots movements resisting the Iranian government.

They do not want Donald Trump to attack Iran.

Listen to their voices.

Burke under pressure to bar Israeli journalist who would ‘fan the flames of racism’ Zvi Yehezkeli, who said 100,000 Palestinians should have been killed at the start of the war in Gaza, is scheduled to visit Australia for events in March.

'The conservative Australian Jewish Association' is certainly one appellation, but I think 'far right' would be more accurate.
