It does seem that the police [spurred on by Minns?] would have liked some disturbance, perhaps a few injuries or fights, so that they had a pretense to stop future marches.

If the AFP can arrest a Chinese national and charge her with foreign interference, WHY won't the AFP arrest the Zionist Israeli agents provocateurs who infiltrated the #MarchForHumanity, attempting to discredit it by carrying inflammatory signs?

PMO: Benjamin Netanyahu decides full IDF occupation of Gaza | The Jerusalem Post The Prime Minister's Office conveyed the message to the Chief of Staff: If this does not suit you, then you should resign.

Think about every pro-Israel person who denied this was the plan for the past 22 months; who gaslit you; denied this to you; pretended this wasn't the plan.

And then never believe those liars about anything ever again.

Two Israeli human rights orgs, B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel, have labelled Israel's actions in Gaza as genocide. Their reports detail mass killings, destruction of infrastructure, forced displacement, mass arrests and alleged abuse of Palestinians in Israeli jails. #GazaGenocide

The US is a very foreign country The Albanese Government has recently handed over a second tranche of some $800 million Australian tax-payers’ dollars to the United States, with the total now more than a billion dollars. This is part of the most woeful con job ever in the grim history of Australia’s defence procurement record – AUKUS.

Leaders like Richard Marles, seeking to us to Uncle Sam’s coattails, are endangering an Australia that should be standing tall, an independent country, one that is proud of its cultural and political achievements within its region and globally. #auspol #AUKUS

We should have no foreign military bases on our soil!

Julian Lesser on RN Breakfast defending Israels genocide because Hamas has not released the hostages . 20 Hostages against murdering the population of Gaza . #FuckJulianLeeser

The only reason our govt should be trying to get a phone call with Benjamin Netanyahu is to remind him that there is a warrant out for his arrest and that he should turn himself in.

Let’s be clear, if the attacker committing daily atrocities & imposing genocide in this war was anyone other than Israel, the West would be defending Palestine with more than just words. #FreePalestine

‘No one should act surprised,’ says UN expert who warned of starvation in Gaza last year Michael Fakhri, UN special rapporteur on the right to food, who sounded the alarm in early 2024, says: ‘Israel is starving Gaza. It’s genocide’

“Israel has built the most efficient starvation machine you can imagine...

“Israel is starving Gaza. It’s genocide. It’s a crime against humanity. It’s a war crime.”

Procrastination has led to many unnecessary deaths.

Australia must act quickly to save all those who can be brought back to health and eventual freedom.

I hope that NSW Premier Chris Minns, the NSW Police & all those who objected to the Palestine March yesterday now raise their voices to make the same comments about the annual Sydney Marathon. I’ll bet they won’t. Yet it will close the harbour bridge and clog up the city.

Over 100 journalists demand 'immediate and unsupervised' foreign media access into Gaza Signatories are calling on both Israel and Hamas to allow foreign journalists into Gaza to report independently on the war, something they have been barred from doing since the conflict started in 202...

More than 100 journalists, photographers and war correspondents have signed a petition demanding "immediate and unsupervised foreign press access to the Gaza Strip"

It was obvious that Israel had no intention of leaving any survivors of this mass atrocity on its border. People are just covering their own asses and trying to wash their hands of their guilt for their complicity in a 21st century holocaust over the past 22 months.

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

Let’s end the age of plastic! - Greenpeace International I support a strong Global Plastics Treaty that cuts plastic production so that we can finally turn off the tap and end the age of plastic - for our communities, our country, and our planet. Join me

They knew.

They lied.

Plastic producers have known for more than 30 years that RECYCLING is NOT an economically or technically feasible plastic waste management solution.

World in $1.5tn ‘plastics crisis’ hitting health from infancy to old age, report warns Plastic production has increased more than 200 times since 1950 and hits health at every stage from extraction to disposal, says review in the Lancet

We are supposed to be smart. Set a 5 year phase-out for manufacturing any plastic that cannot be fully recycled? Set a 7 year phase out for selling any plastic into any situation where where it cannot & will not be recycled? www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The ABC has abandoned its charter in broad by acting as an amplifier for a fascist genocidal project. This changes everything. #auspol

If genocide isn't your redline, then you have no redlines.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed temporarily as tens of thousands of Australians made their voices heard against Israel's genocide in Gaza. #FreePalestine #3E

Lessons in leadership

@albomp.bsky.social
@senatorwong.bsky.social

After this, any credible leader would admit that they've misjudged things. That the people they're leading are NOT happy, and an entirely different approach is required.

THIS IS YOUR MANDATE FOR ACTION 👇

Clear as day

In a democracy the government should fear 100,000 protesters more than the self-important Israel lobby.

Recognizing Palestine won't stop the genocide in Gaza – sanctions on Israel will | Opinion ***

Israeli newspaper calls for sanctions

Coalition MPs falsely claim China's live-fire drill was in 'our waters' Experts have said the Chinese navy conducted a live-fire exercise on the high seas, not in Australian waters as claimed by leading coalition figures.

Pleased to have contributed to this useful fact check of false claims from Coalition MPs on the activities of the Chinese navy.
