I'm horrified by the obvious control Zionist Israel has over the USA and over my Australian and NSW Govts. I am anti-Israel and anti-Zionist. I am not antisemitic. I want all Jewish Australians to be safe. I want Lebanese & Palestinians to be safe too. #auspol #nswpol #FreePalestine #SaveLebanon

If you send our troops to aid in this illegal USA Israel war on Iran, you knowingly send them to danger, by placing them in the hands of 2 countries who ignore human rights and have announced to the world they will commit war crimes.

Vulnerable people at risk as charity Wattle House loses federal funding As a Perth charity that provides food and financial assistance for people who are struggling loses its federal funding, there are fears it will have to turn more vulnerable people away.

Vote the duopoly out fk AUKUS

81 years old, living alone and often forced to go without meals. Mission Australia provides food and financial assistance for rent, medicine, clothes, fuel, and other living necessities. But after losing federal funding in October, the service may soon shut down

Albo the misogynist.

β€’ He finds it "difficult" when strong women speak out (eg Grace Tame)
β€’ Gave his full support for Israel / US bombing of 150+ Iranian school girls
β€’ Leaves Australian women to die in Syria
β€’ Makes friends with other renowned woman haters (eg Trump, Herzog, Kyle Sandilands)

Imagine we had a leader like this.
Instead of a craven coward lickspittle of psychotic fascists.
β€œHappy international women’ s day” he says as he supports the US/israeli terrorist forces that bombed 165 little girls to death on day one of this war.
Resign. This is disgusting. Just inhuman.

Surely you are kidding me? You get a RC up for your Zio buddies but don't lift a finger to take action against the killing of hundreds of women due to domestic violence in recent times. Save your wishes for someone else, I'm not buying it. GFY.

Rallies call for more government funding to end violence against women As Australians across the country rally to call for greater funding and legal change to stop violence against women, organiser Sherele Moody calls out men for not doing enough.

Gaza, Iran girls school, your support for misogynistic Trump, ignoring Australian women in poverty, homelessness and violence says the quiet part out loud.
We see you.
All talk zero action.

You weren’t even at the rally.

Your not delivering for women. Domestic violence is at a crisis levels with a 35% increase in women killed in 2023–24.

2 in 5 women have experienced violence since the age of 15

On average, 1 woman is killed every 9 days

350 requests for specialist homelessness support is going unassisted daily

The enthusiasm of most billionaire media outlets in the US and UK for Trump’s illegal assault on Iran is another reminder of how deranged, perverse and frankly psychopathic these organisations are.

Today on #IWD I’m thinking of how a woman is murdered every 5 days by male violence. Of First Nations women being imprisoned at 25 times the rate. Of women seeking asylum in Australia being forced in poverty & homelessness.

Imagine if Iran had murdered Israeli, American, British or Australian school children.

Australian PM, @albomp.bsky.social fully supports this illegal aggression. What a monster. Abiding a genocide in Palestine and cheering on the indiscriminate slaughter of Iranians will be his legacy.

Albo and Wong - puppets for Israel. In 1943 Jewish refugees running from Hitler took refuge in Palestine. Albo sells Oz to Satanyahu like it’s his pleasure to give away our peace &chase war -we are complicit in genocide. Shame on you @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social #auspol
