NSW Premier Chris Minns has justified the violent response by NSW Police which led to multiple & severe injuries to people protesting against Isaac Herzog’s visit, saying his obligation was to
β€œkeep the President of Israel safe” #auspol

The newly amalgamated Adelaide University brings utter shame upon itself in its first months of operation.

In a statement following this shocking act, it risibly claims it is a place where "exchange of ideas can happen freely".

Not if the ideas include a defence of the remaining Gazans, it seems.

How in the ever-living fuck do we live in a world where merely posting our outrage that the US/Israeli coalition just murdered hundreds of Iranian schoolgirls in cold blood somehow makes us simps and apologists for a despotic Iranian regime?

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

David Shoebridge asks if any Australian troops were used in the US submarine attack which blew up & sunk an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka.
Penny Wong says for β€œoperational & security reasons” this cannot be disclosed. #auspol

A US nuclear submarine just sank an Iranian frigate off the coast of Sri Lanka, leaving the survivors to drown. I asked Wong if any of the 50 or more Australians stationed on US nuclear submarines in the Pacific were on this submarine.

The Government refused to answer.

The word is three consulting firms and two legal firms were invited to tender and in the end none did.

And then Gregarious Greg got the gig as numero uno choice from a list the ASECA and her office drew up.

"a matter for the United States" is now Wong's standard response whenever she wants to avoid accountability.

And thanks to Wong, Albanese and Marles, Australia's sovereignty, security and foreign & defence policy is also now "a matter for the United States". #auspol

Read these words from 100 years ago about immigrants in Britain – and see how history is chillingly repeating itself | George Monbiot Shabana Mahmood’s new rights clampdown looks outlandish until we remember that this kind of hardline action is part of our country’s fabric, says George Monbiot

The precedent is eerily, chillingly precise. What the current Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood is doing to immigrants and refugees today is almost a carbon copy of what Sir William Joynson-Hicks was doing 100 years ago. And that's not a good thing. My column.

Adelaide University cancels literary festival event with UN Gaza investigator Francesca Albanese Festival organisers criticise the university for last-minute booking cancellation of event headlined by special rapporteur for Palestinian territories

Another absolute disgrace in South Australia as the Adelaide University bows to pressure to cancel anyone who speaks out against the slaughter of Palestinians.

The outside influence on our governments and institutions is completely unacceptable.

Fancy being led into world conflict by such a mob of hateful, reprehensible people. That’s what feels even more devastating this time around. Even in the disaster of the Iraq invasion, while we knew they were lying, they hadn’t been going out of their way to be the most vile, venal criminals.

🚨 'Two Australian sailors were aboard the nuclear-powered US submarine when it torpedoed – and sank – an Iranian warship off the coast of Sri Lanka yesterday.

9News understands the Australians are on the American submarine as part of the AUKUS training rotation.'

Exclusive: NDIS algorithm designed to put scheme back on track at 'critical risk' Documents seen by Crikey show that senior staff at the National Disability Insurance Agency have warned that the policy design of the so-called New Framework Planning is in disarray.

I've been shown NDIS agency documents that warn the introduction of a support needs assessment and 'robo-planning' is a mess with every element of the tech listed as off track and now at 'critical risk'. Agency booked savings, but they're figuring it out as they go. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/05/r...
