Strip-search harm must be stopped to protect our young people The premier and police minister must act now, not just to prevent costly litigation, but to stop trauma and harm to thousands of children and young people.

Despite scathing Court judgment re ongoing & traumatic practice of police strip-searches, young people at summer festivals can still be subject to same traumatic procedures, which victims have compared to sexual abuse #WarOnDrugs #auspol @paulrgregoire.bsky.social

Israeli Has Kidnapped Five Australians Sailing on the Global Sumud Flotilla Five Australians have been kidnapped by the state of Israel in international waters as they sailed towards Gaza to deliver humanitarian aid to starving Palestinians.

As Israel illegally intercepts 400-odd foreign nationals, including six Australians, in international waters, civil society protests spill out onto city streets, yet PM Albanese and the foreign minister are decidedly silent

Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted.
The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon.

Nice government revenue stream from cigarette excise you got here in Australia. Would be a shame if it were handed over to organised crime by jacking up excise to levels smokers aren’t willing/capable of paying. @paulrgregoire.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social @algore09algor.bsky.social

Terrific article summarising what happened. What is it about cops and lying to Courts? And police commissioners publicly defending blatantly illegal crap. No wonder people don't trust them

“The IDF is invading Gaza City again & the only food aid site in the starvation zone is staffed by US mer who shoot down starving Palestinians randomly at will.
Step up Australia. Give humanity, morality & Int law their proper priority over financial interests & geopolitical manoeuvring,”

Drug law reform delayed is DLR denied. Why is Australia dragging its heels regarding some very obvious reforms which public opinion strongly supports? Are police delaying reforms because failed prohibition works for them? @barnsgreg.bsky.social @publichealthaus.bsky.social @jamomartin.bsky.social
