Tasmanian salmon firm confirms use of antibiotic at hatchery A major Tasmanian salmon producer used an antibiotic to treat a disease outbreak at a hatchery in Hobart’s water catchment, but made no public announcement.

Is there no end to what the salmon industry thinks it can get away with in our waters?
Full marks to independent journalist, Bob Burton, and MLC, Meg Webb, for digging out a dirty secret. Where the hell was the EPA in all this?

Funny how obsessed Australian politicians are with social cohesion when both the federal and state political spheres entirely revolve around finding issues to differentiate, wedge and create fights between parties.
Maybe take a look in a mirror and set a better example you stonking hypocrites

If these cops don't go to jail for this assault, please explain why not, @albomp.bsky.social.

👏👏👏

Sadly amusing that it took Haaretz to pick up on this line by Albanese

Barnaby Joyce should be stripped, full stop: unless he produces those drought envoy reports he was paid so much money for.

“We didn’t kettle anyone.”

Another phrase for "close ranks" and ignore injustice.

Nudge, nudge; wink, wink, eh?

The head of the State of Israel is making a very public visit to Australia.

Visa considerations include if someone is implicated in war crimes and genocide.

The Government refuses to even acknowledge if they gave President Herzog a visa

It's a heartwarming moment when you realise your children have grown up to become thoughtful, caring and active citizens. We went out of our way not to impose our views on our two, but I still remember the pride I felt at going to a forestry protest and seeing our son in the crowd.

The NSW police brutality at the behest of Minns appears to have been the WD40 to release the “rusted ons” from their enthral.

Oh dear. Maybe ASIO are not a great example of Australian intelligence if they just believe what terrorists tell them. #Auspol

As if Grace Tame would give a crap if her Australian of the Year title were removed.

As if it would stop her speaking.

Tame has dealt with real life things. She won’t be cowed so easily.

Call for Grace Tame to be stripped of AOTY title over intifada chant Grace Tame accused Australia of being "a so called democracy" that punishes peaceful protesters, before chanting "from Gadigal to Gaza, globalise the intifada!"

Anatomy of an ABC news story: bury the lead to blur the reality.

WHO is calling for Grace Tame to be stripped of a well-deserved award?

Barnaby Joyce, Pauline Hanson’s new bestie, told Sky News but we don’t hear about it until paragraph 12 of this article.

Invariably weasel-words for, "We've got a scam going on and you sure as shit aren't going to know about it."

"The simple fact is that Israeli actions endanger all of us, including Jews. Because what Israel is doing claims to in our name, in my name. And believe me when I say it is not in my name."

Thank you to advisory committee member, Antony Loewenstein for speaking out at last night's rally

Ban the phrase: "Commercial-in-confidence".

As beautiful as they were powerful: Jon Kudelka’s political cartoons were made with true conviction The award-winning cartoonist Jon Kudelka died in Hobart on Sunday, aged 53. Over 30 years, his work resisted the polarisation of the contemporary Australian media.

This is lovely

I suspect Penny Wong will soon have grave concerns about social cohesion

They've barely begun. Wait until they realise the immense cost of keeping those interned alive. That's when the next step begins.

Read this on the spot account;
“Chris Minns owns this operation from top to bottom. He cannot hide behind operational reviews or police statements. His own MPs were there. Chanting. Watching. Warning. They knew instantly this was wrong.”
A Daily Telegraph Premier;

There was a lot of people last night at the Syd protest who either haven’t protested in years or have never protested - & they saw things last night they never thought they’d see - & now to see politicians, police & media lie about it.

This is a turning point #auspol #nswpol

NSW Police Forcibly Clears City in Touching Tribute to Israeli President — The Shovel “It’s not every day that you have a visiting dignitary accused by the United Nations of inciting genocide. Giving up our civil liberties is the least we could do"

Actual journalist reports from front line of protest against Israel president Herzog in Sydney: how a peaceful protest was disrupted and violently attacked in concerted police action michaelwest.com.au/this-was-pla...

NSW Police did not instruct us to disperse, boxed us in, would not let us leave and then attacked the crowd - a peaceful crowd of many everyday young and old Australians. That’s what you are proud of @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social #auspol #IwasThere

This was planned. And Chris Minns owns it. - Michael West NSW Police have assaulted dozens of peace protestors who gathered to protest the visit by Israeli president Isaac Herzog to Australia.

"I helped a young girl who had been pepper sprayed in the face and collapsed into a seizure on the pavement. She was convulsing, incapacitated. As she lay there on the ground, police sprayed her again in the face." Eyewitness account by Andrew Brown michaelwest.com.au/this-was-pla...

NSW Police have committed so many crimes over so many decades that we hardly notice now. They can police riot on George Street and the premier shrugs and admits, “it didn’t look good”.

Lifelong Labor supporter and unionist, here. At 83 no more than a vote or two left in me; but vote Labor? Never again! Labor has devolved into a vile organisation, deaf to the will of the people, whose only intention is is to cling to power, while ignoring those it pretends to represent. #auspol

Labor leadership defending decisions to limit democratic protest and invite the head of a foreign state committing genocide to Australia.
The police violence in Sydney was disgusting. What has happened to my party? Why are they defending genocide and police violence?
