If you have longing thoughts of kicking centrism in the goolies, then @richarddenniss.bsky.social's essay is for you 👇👇👇

Under int'l law, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social, you had an OBLIGATION to take steps to prevent Israel's genocide of the Palestinians.

INSTEAD—you spent your time DEFENDING, JUSTIFYING, AIDING & ABETTING Israel's Dog-given "right" to commit genocide.

THAT will be your ONLY legacy.

Israel activates its cells – the Kostakidis case The conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism is the test in the Zionist lobby case against Australian journalist Mary Kostakidis for her Gaza reporting and the outcome will be of great international significance, says Joe Lauria.

We are in a different political climate than in July 2024 when the Zionist Federation of Australia brought action against Mary Kostakidis. The judiciary has the opportunity to take a stand that will reverberate across the West. #auspol #antisemistism

Senators consider their position on consulting contracts committee Calls grow for a permanent Senate committee to monitor government use of consultants, with Coalition, Labor and the Greens showing rare signs of alignment.

Just sayin’

I feel a little sick seeing this image of someone extremely complicit in Israel's genocide trying to save face. Expressing dismay for the horror she's enabled while peddling the BS of a two-state solution (Which Israel has literally never wanted) is peak centrist bullshit

These 2 idiots & their pamphlets have no business being in government in Queensland, let alone anywhere in the world. They haven't even reached their first year anniversary yet but they've managed to transform a reasonable Olympics plan into complete chaos. #qldpol

Now we have Scott Morrison's mate Mick Fuller up here in Queensland investigating the investigation into Queensland's forensics lab.

The LNP are begging us Queenslanders to put them back on the opposition benches.

We are not even 1 year into this Crisafulli government. #qldpol

When governments start censoring information, it’s for their (or Murdoch’s) benefit not ours.

A terrific article with powerful images

“Delegates from Navajo, Comanche, Kiowa Sioux, Pueblo and Lakota nations in North America attended this year’s Garma Festival, travelling to Arnhem Land with the goal of exchanging traditions and knowledge.

Weaponising outrage: The hidden hands behind Australia's antisemitic attacks As fabricated terror plots unravel, questions mount about who’s truly behind Australia’s wave of antisemitic attacks and why.

Australia Institute research shows that Australians pay more in HECS/HELP repayments than gas companies pay in Petroleum Resource Rent Tax (PRRT). #auspol

New Australia Institute research shows the Aus and QLD governments allowing large-scale gas exports tripled gas prices for Australians on the east coast, ending decades of low-cost gas.

"The Australian public thinks the gas industry should be paying for the gas they export."

"If this Government wants to have more money for schools, more money for hospitals...there's a simple tax reform opportunity here."

John Oliver: "Gaza is starving, is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive. Gaza is being starved by Israel."

#ISRAELisStarvingGaza #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Such a disingenuous, false narrative. Nobody is suggesting this. Nobody except Minns is talking about different groups running protests on the bridge every week. He's trying to create an antagonism to protesting in general with this crap.

Norway taxes their fossil fuel industry and gives their kids free university education.

In Australia, we give more than half of the gas we export away for free, and charge our kids a fortune to go to uni.

Australians denied a Voice to Parliament for First Nations without realising that they don’t have one either.

What I find depressing beyond words is the fact evildoers like Jillian Segal, Mark Leibler, the AJA, ECAJ, AIJAC, Netanyahu et al. as well as those in Washington have the ear of @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social, but the good people of Australia do not.

#auspol #Despair #GazaGenocide

The Jewish Council was proud to join the hundreds of thousands of Australians marching on Sunday to demand action from our political leadership.

We demand an end to the genocide, today!

Multiple experts have concluded that the conduct of Israel & the systemic effects of the campaign against Gaza's civilians meets the legal definition of genocide under Article II of the 1948 Convention on the Prevention & Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

#LnP are never bright, and never original. They’re simple creatures with cruel urges.

Almost 10yrs now since Dyson Heydon was commissioned by Tony Abbott to the trade union inquiry & found to have Liberal Party links.

David Crisafulli & Jarrod Bleijie now have former Vic Lib member & Qld LNP donor Stuart Wood commissioned for the CFMEU inquiry. #qldpol

Effing disgrace!

We first heard AFP Commissioner was gone on Friday, now it’s public. I will not pretend this is anything other than good news. Under Kershaw the AFP:
- lost faith with senior management
- had zero transparency with parliament
- entrapped a 13 year old, and
- mishandled the caravan threat hoax

New Australia Institute analysis shows ACTU Secretary’s call for a 25% tax on gas export revenue to replace the PRRT would raise around $12.5 billion annually.

“Stop giving quantities of gas away for free and start putting the interests of Australians first.”
