To be clear: The Australian Albanese Govt's Special Envoy for Antisemitism Jillian Segal is NOT an anti-semitism advocate at all. She's a Zionist Israel Envoy. Australian taxpayers' money is being paid to an an advocate for a foreign power engaged in genocide. #auspol #Zionism≠Judaism #GazaGenocide
After a 4 year FOI battle, @jommytee.bsky.social finally has the facts on Scott Morrison's sacking from Tourism Australia & the brawl behind the scenes is fascinating

If you see the Eureka Stockade flag today, know that Raffaello Carboni, an Italian immigrant who helped create the flag, said:
"I call upon all diggers, irrespective of colour, religion or creed, to salute the Southern Cross as a refuge for all the oppressed from all nations on earth." #auspol
We have literal nazis on the streets and not a word from the tax payer funded anti-semitism envoy Jillian Segal.
Maybe because they aren't students with Palestine flags protesting Israel's genocide. #auspol
Of course he does 🙄🙄🙄🙄

I’m very proud to have worked with the remarkable @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social Today we celebrated the win, together with friends, family & the legal team. Heading back home with a smile on my dial.
Damnit.
“Extraordinarily sensitive to the risk of criticism by The Australian” was going to be the title of my new history of modern Australian media and politics, and he just … read it out in court.
Those responsible for the sacking of journalist @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social should resign (or be dismissed). Those on the ABC Board and in ABC News Mgmt who chose to defend their decision in court rather than acknowledge the sacking was unwarranted should also resign (or be sacked). #journalism
Ed Husic breaks ranks to criticise Israel and express alarm over ‘fraying of rules-based order’ following US strikes
That the ABC is still inviting idiotic, warmongering, failed former PMs and equally idiotic and biased Murdoch operatives onto their programs whilst revising their social media policies for staff in the wake of today’s ruling says all we need to know about how they will deal with it.
Only thing stopping us from achieving the same is an elitist ideology that favours a two-tier education system, a regressive and outdated understanding of pedagogy and a deeply entrenched disrespect for the, mostly female, teaching profession
Surely we can do better, Australia?
So here's the bigger question coming out of the #AntoinetteLattouf victory:
WHY did the ABC cave in to the Israel lobby?
And more broadly; HOW does a foreign influence group have so much power over our media, politicians, universities, cultural institutions and the arts? #ZionistMcCarthyism
Two aspects to this.
Antoinette Lattouf, congratulations, courage, decency, a journalist.
Ita Buttrose. Morrison’s captain’s pick. What else did she get away with? How did she influence our ABC News, for years? Her term as chair should be investigated.

Court finds in favour of Antoinette Lattouf. 🙌
ABC ordered to pay Ms Lattouf $70,000 in the first instance; further hearing to be scheduled to consider additional costs to be paid by the ABC to Ms Lattouf for pecuniary loss through wrongful termination of employment. #auspol
Dear Albo,
This is leadership. One can support Israel’s right to exist, prevent Iran from getting a nuclear bomb AND condemn Netanyahu & Trump for their reckless actions which have made a mockery of international law!
#auspol
THIS is the statement that Aussies need to hear, @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social.
French President Macron:
"There is no legality in these strikes, even if France supports the objective of preventing Iran from getting the nuclear bomb." #auspol

It seems our ABC has decided who will succeed Ley as opposition leader.

After Scott Morrison and Joe Hockey, I’d been thinking that ABC couldn’t sink much lower in its wheeling out of ‘experts’ on US policy.
But just when you think your expectations have reached rock bottom, David Speers and #abc730 exceed them. #auspol
So incredibly disappointed in both Anthony Albanese & Penny Wong. 😢 #auspol #USA #Iran #GazaGenocide
Dear World,
Would you like us to run things for a while & sort this shit out?

Did the ABC seriously seek Scott Morrison’s opinion on the Iran bombing?
Do better, ABC.
#auspol
I think our media should speak to Scott Morrison as much as possible, given that he unites us as a people (against him) like no one else can. #auspol
The US bombing Iran is a flagrant breach of the international rules-based order, said Allan Behm, special adviser at the Australia Institute.
Australia should have “made clear we are a country that stands up … for the rules-based order”. #auspol
Dear PM @albomp.bsky.social
cc @senatorwong.bsky.social
Appalled that an Australian Labor Govt supports the USA's illegal bombing of Iran. Your refusal to condemn Israel's ongoing #GazaGenocide is also deeply shameful. You've made Australia complicit in these crimes. 😔 #auspol #USA #Israel #Iran
I would like to thank Scott Morrison of the Liberal Party for effortlessly gifting the Labor Party another term. #auspol
"Labor's planned reforms to superannuation tax concessions may be being reported as "controversial" but the fact is they are popular."
Do you have $3 million in super? Me neither. These changes will actually help you.

Good on Alan Kohler, telling it like it is, Superannuation was great until John Howard turned it into a tax dodge for the rich youtu.be/m_uheqGIVAo?... #auspol
