The Swiss commentator is telling viewers about Israel’s war crimes that the team’s pilot has openly supported while the Israeli bobsleigh team is racing.

The PM @albomp.bsky.social isn't a leader. He could do the decent, humanitarian thing, & bring the ISIS brides & children home, giving his reasons and bringing the country with him.

Instead, he sees it as electorally popular to vilify them, act tough, and dog whistle to racist Australians.

We are being played, not for the sake of Iran’s stability or the good of its people, but to install a puppet the US can control. A right-leaning palace, grateful for contracts with American and multinational oil giants, ready to hand over the Straits of Hormuz, the rare earths & the pipelines.

3yo Ali Hassan Jaber and his father Hassan Jaber were killed in an Israeli strike on a car in south Lebanon. Israel claims it struck a Hezbollah “terrorist” in the attack but UN peacekeepers say it has not seen evidence of Hezbollah in the border region. #IsraelTerroristState #LebanonUnderAttack

Why the Palestinian Right of Return is still the issue Recent news stories have thrust the issue of Palestinians returning to their homes and lands back into the spotlight. The Right of Return remains the core Palestinian demand because it is fundamental to what it means to be Palestinian.

"You cannot have Palestinian self-determination without the right of return."

"[R]ight of return remains the ultimate test for supporting Palestinians."

"Return requires acknowledging that Israel is a settler colony built on ethnic cleansing."

Albanese is taking a harder line on migration in response to the Taylor far-right Liberals pushing him to take that line. Combined with his subservience to the Zionist lobby, Islamophobic based policy and actions are inevitable from a spineless Albanese who will do anything to keep his job title.

Pepper Spray for Palestine, Tears for Tehran: Australia’s Selective Sovereignty On a pepper‑sprayed night in Sydney, Palestinian grief is kettled while Iranian protests are feted as “democratic awakening.” This article traces how Australia’s selective compassion, media framing…

Minns, whom the Greens have branded openly pro-Israel, defends the crackdown by pointing to the $5 million cost of pro-Palestine protests in 2024; as if the right to dissent comes stamped with a budget ceiling, and democracy itself awaits approval on an invoice.

When Israel grinds Gaza into dust, complete with the “double-tap” strikes that kill rescuers rushing to the wounded, Albanese offers calibrated “concern” and calls for restraint, his face a mask of gravity laced with evasion.

Look, Peter has letters to write, artists and writers to blackball, Santos to prop up and offerings to AUKUS to bankrupt our state coffers,don't expect him to give a stuff about things like education.
His kids are wealthy.

Only in Australia . . .

The ABC reporting on a targeted shooting in Sydney this morning; not content with telling us he was a FORMER player in the NRL, we have to be told the position he played . . .

As people who have worked ‘expat’ would know, Australia cannot be trusted to look after the interests of Australians overseas. The only time government officials will do anything is for higher profile cases where they don’t want negative publicity.

Or if you’re well connected; of course.

These "Australian values" sound pretty good! Especially the bits about "freedom of speech", "freedonm of religion", "mutual respect", "tolerance" and "compassion for those in need" ... wonder if we can get some of our state premiers to sign up

It made NO blip on this godforsaken site, but a few days ago numerous news sources broke that the Gaza Civil Defense had reported that around 3,000 Palestinians had partially or completely evaporated from US-manufactured bombs.

Well, today, they adjusted that number to 7,820.

“Compulsory training in any ideology - Zionism, fascism, liberalism - is a body blow against university independence.”

Outrageous that it is to be imposed on behalf of a genocidal apartheid rogue state. And the Albanese govt is enabling this Zionist tyranny. #auspol

Examined one by one, Israel’s current policies reveal a power imbalance so extreme that it can no longer be obscured by diplomatic language, especially in the wake of Gaza’s catastrophic devastation.

“Australians want the killing to stop,” @albomp.bsky.social is reported to have said.

Well then, Tony. Why are you refusing to meet Australia's OBLIGATIONS under international law to STOP ISRAEL?

"The PM’s stance has been bewildering. In seeking to appease one section of the community, he has been willing to permit Herzog’s visit under the guise of fostering unity, when he should have known it would only deepen division & conflict. Meanwhile, we are told repeatedly to cohere socially."

I mean they did allow Trump to get elected a second time in the first place. I thought your “culture” was all about accepting individual responsibility? If the rest of the world has a disparaging view on your “culture” that’s your problem. Not ours.

The PM has failed for four years to properly justify the costs and explain the risks and alleged benefits of #AUKUS, especially as the US becomes ever more unstable.

Dismissing concerns now is the height of arrogance.

Albo Bjelke-Petersen is essentially telling us: "Don't you worry about that!"
