Cause of Gold Coast mass fish kill unknown with marine heatwave most likely culprit, say scientists Local community group says whatever the cause โ€˜kids shouldnโ€™t be in the waterโ€™ with dead fish

"Baitfish" is a terrible term. These are native wildlife, all dead.

In English, the claim they have not mistreated any of the flotilla crew. In Hebrew, they admit to brutalising them. Australian citizens are telling DFAT they are being tortured, DFAT and the government have said nothing. Makes you wonder, does Albo put Israel head of Australians?

Web kiddies in the minister's office didn't realise Trove archives government websites? Oopsies.

FWIW, the quoted 2023 Defence web page appears to be archived at Trove, here: webarchive.nla.gov.au/awa/20230426.... It wasn't at the several other web archive services that I checked, which is a little unusual.

It's not a 'war', there is very little actual 'fighting', and the only 'peace' can come from Israel ending its mass destruction and mass murder.

Excellent analysis of the cancellation of Chris Hedges.

Ironically, confirms just how much the #NPC and its members need to hear from Hedges on "journalistic ethics and accountability". #auspol

The National Press Club shoots the messenger The Club shows itself to be just another weak symbol of timidity, a gatekeeper of acceptable speech rather than a defender of free expression.

The National Press Club shoots the messenger and cancels Chris Hedges, and instead of speaking truth to power, becomes a part of the establishment that itโ€™s meant to hold to account. The Monday Essay from New Politics. #AUSPOL #NPC open.substack.com/pub/newpolit...

Ever See Our Shocking Film on Online Extremism in Israel? On the eve of the second anniversary of the Oct 7. attack, here's another opportunity to watch our acclaimed short film โ€˜Israelโ€™s Reel Extremismโ€™, featuring rare interviews with those Israeli troops.

Two Years of Genocide, captured on social media by Israeli soldiers themselves.

Nope, mostly 'climbers' (and their 'staff'). This is way beyond ridiculous.

BTW, the road to Rongbuk is now a 2-lane sealed highway: www.google.com/maps/search/.... This is big business.

BREAKING: Labor is actively hiding the truth of Australiaโ€™s genocidal supply of F35 fighter parts to Israel.

My office uncovered via FOI the Defence Department quietly deleted its webpage celebrating Australian companies pumping weapons parts to Israel to keep F35 jets flying.

Shame on Deloitte. Bigger shame on Govt for using them for core public sector work: $440k contract for rubbish: โ€œDeloitte has admitted to using generative AI for a core analytical task; but it failed to disclose this in the first place.โ€
