Albanese’s long game is paying off

“It is important to give credit where genuine credit is due, by recognising the success of the Albanese government’s patient, professional and focused diplomacy, mostly conducted behind closed doors,” writes John Hewson. satpa.pe/uQTdJrL

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Nice one

Why is News.Com running anti-vax shit?? A Melbourne doctor a) refused to issue COVID vaccines, b) handed out vaccine exemptions to anti-vaxxers for “stress” & c) refused to comply with regulations during an emergency. Being struck off is the consequence of his own actions, he is not the victim here.

In 2016, Ghislaine Maxwell falsely stated, under oath, that she was not aware that Jeffrey Epstein recruited underage girls for sex (you know, the ones she was actually recruiting on his behalf). She was charged with two counts of perjury for this.

Remind me why we give a shit what she says now?

Life-saving idea! Pass it on!

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

Israel threatened reprisals if the press filmed Gaza from above during airdrops.

This is why. A scene of destroyed & burnt out buildings in what is left of Gaza City, the pre-war home to 800,000 people.

#palestine #theguardian

Julian Assange & Craig Foster help carry banner & march on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Thank you to them both. Thank you to all who marched, who called for peace & an end to the genocide. The world is watching. #FreePalestine

"Israel is dangerous. In the last few months, it has bombed Iran, bombed & carried out pager bombings in Lebanon, further emboldened murders of Palestinian civilians by fascist "settlers" in the West Bank & bombed Syria. No other Middle East player is as destabilizing or violent as Israel."

I dunno, I kinda think the image on the right is a tad more eerie but that's just me.

Massive turnout.

AMAZING turnout. Wonderful atmosphere. Everyone helpful and kind, especially with our kids in the crowd. Tears in the eyes xxxx

Union boss calls for one property limit on negative gearing tax breaks ACTU Secretary Sally McManus says it's time to "bite the bullet" and reform negative gearing and the capital gains tax to make it easier for young people to enter the housing market.

ACTU Secretary Sally McManus calls for one property limit on negative gearing tax breaks - ABC News share.google/4QRknOyqM7ek.... #Auspol

What they need to do is call for a tax on vacant liveable properties of which there is more than a million. $10K a month sounds like a good starting point. Then go after CGT and Neg gearing.

At the march in Sydney today, so many powerful signs. 🇵🇸

😂

It’s this level of misogyny and derangement that gave us POTUS Trump. Twice.

Every single denial by every single person involved with Epstein is bullshit.

And every single woman/former child who has spoken up about it has more courage and integrity than all of their perpetrators combined.
👊💜

How in the goddamn fuck do we live in a world where nobody would need the release of the Epstein List if we just … stay with me here … believed the testimonies of the dozens of women raped and abused by the men who are on it?

Jillian Segal and husband funding far-right group "Advance" - The Klaxon Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal and her husband are among the biggest funders of far-right group "Advance”, which spreads hateful propaganda and racist tropes.

It's three entire weeks since we put questions to Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal, after she, standing with PM, told us we need sweeping new laws to protect one specific minority.
She still refuses to respond.
Explosive series kicks off tomorrow. (ICYMI:)
