Time to go Albo. His inaction on this, NACC, Gambling industry and the Gas industry is not only heartbreaking but socially and fiscally reckless.

UTTER COWARDICE - no one is asking you to put your life at risk. Rather, just stand up for the goddamn truth.

An Australian doctor volunteering in Gaza encapsulated a 2 year long holocaust. "Southern Gaza is slaughterhouse" & northern Gaza "is the world's largest graveyard"

Wondered lots of my life how Germany did it. Easy. So many turn away from horrendous crimes when confronted. Most of Europe turned away when own citizens dragged out of homes. My Hitler Youth friend, now gone, wd not have been surprised.

I feel your frustration I keep running into middle age/ elderly twats that suck up the rubbish these journalists write or promote on radio and TV. Whenever I see the Hun in a cafe I yearn for a match. As one of the radical elderly I fear for the young and the world that is coming.

Criticism of union inertia among comrades ought not to be taken as criticism of unionism. In the wider context, we are where we are because of the triumph of union economism, which Laborites have mastered. Fair criticism is just that when you stand silent on genocide.

I was a proud trade unionist, esp when my branch of the union broke free of ALP dominance. Sadly that did not last long - the rank and file push just did not have the funds the might of the ALP could command to return to power.
My goodness, Great Thunberg is a truly mighty exemplar.

Sure. Nothing could be clearer than 'Sovereignty Never Ceded'. I developed my own connections to the place as a white kid in a bushwalking club'; saw the sharpening grooves, paintings etc then discovered that the beautiful places of my youth were killing fields. That demanded a serious rethink.

For sure, we're an apathetic bunch in comparison. It always amazes me what we'll tolerate in comparison to other countries. The silence of Australian unions on the genocide has been particularly damning

It's completely captured and useless. I'm pro-union, don't get me wrong, but I am anti useless establishment union. They cause more harm than good.

Interesting to watch them hide from overt condemnation of Israel when there is,no other choice. All kinds of postures lacking open frank truth.

What's his name, the psychopath minister called them 'terrorists', black is white, up is down, reality is not. They appear to be able to get away with everything. World leaders appear to be incapable of acting as if they've been hypnotised, pronouncing banality. Insanity is everywhere.

Australians are not in the least bit fiesty. The bridge walk for Palestine would have been enough for most of them for the next 5-20 years.
Look at Italy! Three days of general strike in the past 10 days or so!
And I’m not sure if that was even reported by Australian media.

So many people I used to admire are only bold within the bounds of the bullshit world they help construct. Thank you for showing us all who you really are.

Seriously, "leftie" journos in that room, where. the . fuck. are. you? It might be time to put ethics and morality ahead of your career prospects. This is a holocaust and a fascistic assault on democracy in the West. And you're just gonna sit there quietly? Go fuck yourself.

The 'good guys' are totally the ones torturing a 22 y/o autistic woman who was illegally abducted in international waters for bringing food and baby formula to the trapped, starving, emaciated victims of a livestreamed genocide

Fuck despair. Fascists should have to fight for every inch they get, on principle alone.

The fight is over when the fascists are defeated, and not one minute earlier.

Black and Indigenous people have been fighting for CENTURIES without giving up. My Jewish ancestors didn't give up through CENTURIES of oppression and pogroms.

And even if we're doomed, you'll forgive me if I put up a fight anyway.

"The fights for trans rights and Palestinians are over and we lost" is something I'm seeing over and over from cis white progressives. And I'm seeing variations of this popping up about racial justice, marriage equality, and disability rights too.

Sorry, but fuck that.

Six heroic Aussies are inside a notorious Israeli prison, the same hellhole where Greta Thunberg was dragged by her hair and made to kiss the Israeli flag. Reports DFAT is scolding ppl on the phone that have called in. Your government is complicit. Free Palestine, Melbourne/Naarm

Its beyond belief the level of cruelty & downright evil treatment of these incredible people wanting to help. FFS they had baby formula on board . Baby formula. I wonder how Mr Roger’s mum would have made it make sense.

Our Government is presently occupied advertising their 'achievements' in mediocrity and corporate servitude to the billionaires who matter.
Please call back when we call the next election
Thank you

The @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social govt have lost none of their timorous, self-wedging reflexes? If accurate, the DFAT β€œscolding” is appalling. The activists were *kidnapped* in international waters. #Israel under the corrupt, fascist #Netanyahu regime is now a pariah state. #Gaza

Another great episode with Michael & Julianna plus an excellent interview with Grace. It was pre-recorded as Jo is away, so things have *progressed* in fascist world re Trump's Gaza peace plan but lo & behold, as discussed, Israel don't seem to be complying. A genocide continues.
