Australia’s timid response to the US and Israel’s attack on Iran risks being seen as complicity | Donald Rothwell It is up to countries like Australia to stand up against aggression and make its position clear in support of international law

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

β€œβ€¦how other states [nations, like Australia] react in situations like this [illegal bombing of Iran and murder if its leaders] matters, because [our govt’s] silence or refusal to make a formal & clear statement can be interpreted as complicity.”
We’re complicit.

Minns’ protest ban: breathtakingly racist, authoritarian, and must be resisted - Michael West Chris Minns’ protest ban is not just authoritarian: it is breathtakingly racist and must be resisted, writes Nick Riemer.

NSW Premier Minns has always been anti protest. His latest ban on peaceful assemblies & protests is racist & divisive. We will resist - silence on #genocide is unethical. Read this piece by Nick Riemer

Watching #SundayShot late again today - great to listen to Prof Anne Twomey calling BS on the protest "ban" laws in NSW and especially as related to "police powers" in relation to them. Thanks to @instanterudite.bsky.social, @deniseshrivell.bsky.social & @davemilbo.bsky.social! #BeDifficult!

I, too, take exception to our country's PM supporting the US and Israel breaking international law in conducting an unprovoked attack. It hasn't been approved by Congress so it breaks US law as well. Well done, Albo. #auspol

The Dr. Manhattan on Mars meme. "It is 1990. I am 29 years old. In two weeks, Iran will have nuclear weapons. It is 2008. I am 37 years old. In two weeks, Iran will have nuclear weapons. It is 2026. I am 54 years old. In two weeks, Iran will have nuclear weapons."
