Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young has urged Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to hold US President Donald Trump accountable, after an Australian journalist was shot by a rubber bullet while covering protests in Los Angeles. #auspol

Just because something doesn’t affect you personally, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t care about it. We, as humans should desire to see others free from suffering
I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t.

It’s not just Dutton and Liberal National Coalition defeated at this election. It is lies and hate, it is division and extremism, it is a political party reliant on fear campaigns that polarise and spread fear and confusion. Australia has said no to MAGA politics. This is bigger than an election win

It's OK - money can buy things.
But in Australia, unless you're selling what someone wants to buy, it doesn't make a bees dick of difference. And again, we see it writ large.
The public schools funding commitment by Albanese Labor, the free TAFE, the Universities accord and early childhood education are transformational reforms of our time, which will deliver benefits to EVERY Australian. #auspol

In the #LeadersDebate, Dutton said the way to deal with Trump’s tariffs is to hand over Australia’s mineral wealth - to sell the farm - to a total madman, and know we would get nothing in return? Only an idiot would vote for that! #DontRiskDutton

Wait. What? 🙀
Dutton wanted flags that represent 15-20% of Australia’s population removed at his Headspace appearance

Why would you invite Trump to Australia. When you have a Temu Trump sitting right across from you.
🤣🤣🤣😏😏😏🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
The Prime Minister should not be inviting Trump to Australia.
Trump is a danger to peace and a danger to democracy.
He emboldens hate and hard-right ideology.
We should be rethinking our relationship with Trump's US, not sucking up to him.
The Coalition had pledged that taxes would always be lower under a Peter Dutton government than they would be under Labor. Barely 20 mins after the treasurer announced the tax cuts Angus Taylor said the Coalition would not support the changes. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The author of this piece is an American photo journalist who has been embedded in El Salvador. Reading this piece is frightening and it should be. It's who we are in danger of becoming. time.com/7269604/el-s...

If you like what’s happening in the USA, vote LNP.
If you like what’s happening in Australia, vote for anyone but.
Sadly, I can genuinely imagine Australia's ABC News running op-eds claiming Hitler showed "strong leadership" and Churchill was being criticised for "weakness", given its fawning coverage of Dutton and blatant attacks on Albanese. Not fair or balanced. Definitely not #journalism. #auspol #AusVotes25

I see people posting that Elon was at Auschwitz this time last year - therefore, his recent "gesture" is not antisemitic. I was there, too. Last year. With Elon. I am embarrassed that I have photos of this on my phone. My love, Gidon Lev, was the "special guest" of this photo-op event. We thought, at the time, that it would be good publicity. But I would not share the photo today. I chatted with Elon Musk. I spent hours with him and walked with him through Auschwitz. I stood with him, looking at the nauseating heaps of hair, luggage, and shoes flooded with violet light meant to preserve it. Is Musk an antisemite? People, actually, it's worse - he doesn't care whatsoever. Elon, father of "little X" as he described his freezing cold son to me, literally does not care. He was unmoved by the experience. For Gidon, to be in the place where his father, Ernst, died on a death march - whether shot by the side of the road or having simply collapsed - was a huge deal. Elon did not care. He was about his press junket and his bodyguards. I was ten feet from him as he posed for the cameras of his entourage. He was utterly detached. He cared about how he looked. When he placed a wreath at Auschwitz and Gidon was overlooked, he walked away with the cameras whirring. This is Elon Musk. A sociopath, if ever there was one. To deduce, from this visit, that he is a friend of the Jews is desperately naive.
Julie Gray, wife of Holocaust survivor Gidon Lev, who joined Musk in his visit to Auschwitz speaks out. She says that Musk felt nothing during the tour & only "cared about how he looked."
She shared this with me privately shortly after the tour, and I'm grateful she made her thoughts public.
