Tell it to the ICC mate

If we had the 90 days local fuel stockpile we’re meant to (by international agreement) some of that reserve could be released now to minimise the impact of the Middle East war on our cost-of-living. Successive Govts have failed us in this regard. #FOI #auspol

This thread … true leadership from the NY Mayor Mamdani

Trump vies for Bush’s crown for worst foreign policy decision in history The US president upended half a century of US foreign policy in an eight-minute video with another attempt at Middle Eastern regime change

And of course Albanese is All the Way with Racist Fartbag.

donald trump says this is not going to end well while giving a speech ALT: donald trump says this is not going to end well while giving a speech

Instead of the Nobel peace prize that #Trump thinks he deserves (delusional 🤪), a one way ticket to the International Criminal Court must be issued now, even while the US Congress plans to impeach the evil old man. #ICC

Fact-Checking Trump’s Justifications for Attacking Iran

The president made unsupported and exaggerated claims in a speech announcing the attack on Iran. @nytimes.com

www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/u...

This week's #SundayShot has @lucyham.bsky.social to give us a peek into the Advance conference, @davemilbo.bsky.social & @boganintel.bsky.social asking "How fascist are our times?" + Anne Twomey enlightening us on the Anti Hate laws.

(and @ronnisalt.bsky.social has done us another great promo vid!)

A U.S. official said American military strikes on Iran were underway.

Remember when Congress authorized the use of force against Iran?

Me neither.

Any U.S. attack on Iran would violate U.S. and international law.

As the occupying power, Israeli authorities are obliged to ensure the provision of humanitarian aid. We call for a massive scale‑up of lifesaving aid and unhindered humanitarian access in #Gaza

The Lancet “The destruction that Kennedy has wrought in 1 year might take generations to repair, and there is little hope for US health and science while he remains at the helm.”

The cover says it all:

True!

Unfortunately there’s no cure for constant, chronic, severe pain.

All we can do, as you say, is use strong meds to ‘take the edge off’.

After 14 yrs, I have a little retreat in my mind where I can temporarily park my pain & distract myself in order attempt activities… like showering etc 🤦🏻‍♀️

It might be wise to reconsider ****absolutely everything**** hyperwealthy baby-murdering pedophiles wanted you to think about the world, yeah?

Like, what's the good reason not to?

Don’t forget, when Pauline drops racist bombshells into the media for everyone to react to, she’s now being funded by Gina Rinehart, major contributor to racist propaganda group Advance and inspired by MAGA-guru Steve “flood the zone with bullshit” Bannon.
The offence is the point.

When a young woman is raped by two friends, her small town turns against her A local footy star and his mate are convicted of raping their friend. In the tiny town of Balmoral, where the footy club reigns, the town makes it clear whose story they believe.

“It is time to acknowledge what has become tragically obvious: the Trump administration is operating as a massive criminal enterprise.”

This absolutely captures it. Instead of "Trump Administration," we should say "Trump Syndicate."

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

"Chanting 'from the river to the sea' with a crowd could lead to criminal charges in Queensland, while down the road Pauline Hanson can say there are 'no good Muslims' and be rewarded with headlines, airtime and rising support."

Albanese dismisses Aukus concerns as submarine shipyard cost revealed to be $30bn Prime minister commits $3.9bn as ‘down payment’ for Adelaide facility to eventually build nuclear-powered vessels

Albanese dismisses #AUKUS concerns as submarine shipyard cost revealed to be $30 billion.

Prime minister commits $3.9bn as ‘down payment’ for Adelaide facility to eventually build nuclear-powered vessels.

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

AUKUS is sinking and Labor responds by making up a $30 billion un-budgeted AUKUS announceable for the SA State election. This stuff is straying so far from reality.

Pauline Hanson has one of the worst Parliament attendance records failing to show up to work 50% of the time in 2025.

Albanese’s Herzog invitation has backfired Pip Hinman argues that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s invitation to Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit Australia has underscored the deep ties between Labor and the genocidal state of Israel.

I will continue to beat this drum: this is not about what happens on Election Day, but afterwards.

The key tell is her articulation of the core MAGA belief that the legitimacy of elections is entirely determined by the results: if they win, it’s legitimate; if they lose, it’s not.

James Paterson: Angus is the smartest policy brain in the shadow cabinet.

🤣

If that's the case, no wonder they're in trouble!

Grace Tame models national leadership that multiple Australian Prime Ministers have failed to do. If you oppose paedophilia, genocide and femicide, then do better when you vote next time. It’s asking too much to have this one remarkable Australian carry the righteous indignation of a nation.

@AlboMP “We need to turn the temperature down.”
“ We do not need the conflict to be brought here.”
Too late. Inviting #Herzog here has turned the temperature up and brought the conflict here. #Qt

I've attended many rallies in Sydney: anti-nuclear, anti-war, Aboriginal rights, climate action, gay marriage, Voice, pro-Palestine.

At the #HerzogNotWelcome rally tonight, I felt genuinely afraid of our NSW Police. Protesters were peaceful & cooperative. The police were angry & violent. 😔 #nswpol
