Surely someone is employed in the #NSW #POLICE that was taught a little simple arithmetic. 90,000 bah, humbug! On the video footage publicly available, I estimate the total number of people on the #Sydney harbour bridge protest march to be well in excess of a quarter of a million souls! #auspol

Makes me feel good for a change in the present environment to see vast numbers of Aussies march for GAZA & stop to genocide in Sydney during pouring rain - if the federal ALP dont now institute real action against Israel they are fools

It is obscene that ABC News continues to air "Israel says" propaganda when the Israeli Govt claim is a demonstrable lie. If, "for balance", you must report it incl. the disclaimer "falsely claims" if it's a lie. Here's the audio: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr... #auspol #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide

So nice to see journalist #DanBourchier @danbourchier.bsky.social reporting at #Garma again for the 25th anniversary of the festival . He has been very much missed on the #ABC .

Age Verification Will Kill Free Speech Online

I did an hour long beginnerโ€™s breakdown on why age verification is extremely dangerous, bad, and leading to mass censorship, with tech policy expert @ericgoldman.bsky.social. Whatโ€™s happening in the UK can and will happen here if we donโ€™t fight it!

'No blank cheques': Pressure on federal government to pull territory funding Pressure is building on the federal government to remove funding from the Northern Territory government unless it meets outcomes on Indigenous incarceration.

This is what positive Federal intervention looks like! #auspol

So, Victoria Police say they'll arrest people for (insert trumped up charges here) for marching onto, Naarm's/Melbourne's King Street bridge tomorrow in solidarity with Sydney #FreePalestine.
Are all Labor governments owned by the Israel's Zionist lobby?

Lost more trade value between OZ & China because of the LNP fools comments during Covid initial outbreak but survided & learnt - LNP primary producers where the main loosers but the fools still vote for them

The value of two-way trade between Australia and Israel is worth about $1.3bn annually. I reckon we can do without that blood money.

Would be much less by now- some for good reason but very few-easy for gov to change protection visa regs- Ruddock chaged them 3 times in 1 day as I remember- vast more numbers come by plane but we dont speak about them- interesting- see Abul Risvi ex Dep Sec Immi- very knowledgeable on this

Adani promised Australia billions from its Carmichael mine but it hasnโ€™t paid a cent in tax. How did we get here? The coalmine generated millions in revenue in its early days but recorded an operating loss โ€“ a pattern that would repeat at scale

The Morrison and then Albanese governments have provided next to no rationale for the huge #AUKUS commitment.

The strategic objectives, the cost-benefit, the likelihood of delivery...all are dodgy at best.

Yet there is ONE certainty; several ex-ministers are set to benefit personally. #auspol

I took a very questionable NSW Govt document access refusal decision to NCAT. Just before the first Tribunal hearing the Govt has totally backflipped. What if Iโ€™d been an average citizen less familiar (or less tenacious) with the GI(PA) Act? Officials must do better! #nswpol #FOI

Update: the courts have ruled the Harbour Bridge march can go ahead. I think it would have anyway. But now there's no excuse. Go get that bridge.

Great newsโ€ฆ the march has been given the green light by the courts.

Like many people, I canโ€™t be there in person. But Iโ€™ll be there from a distance in solidarity ๐Ÿ’ช

If youโ€™re going to the march please share photos.

FTR, given the fact that for decades tens of thousands of Palestinians had been murdered by Israeli terrorist gangs and the IOF, and knowing the ethnic cleansing of Palestine has been underway since at least 1948, I had no problem sympathizing with Hamas. And still don't. #auspol #GazaGenocide

Leadership is not a defining feature of this milquetoast #Labor government.

Itโ€™s just a tool. We get to choose how itโ€™s used.

Data centres should have to produce their own renewable energy, make that part of the system.

Tech that can grasp situations and explain them, rapidly, will be incredibly useful for folks with low vision.

I need Magnesium but finding tablets without it is made more difficult with the ingredients listed on the packet in such a small font I cant read it - luckily I have found a product that contains none for sale here in Victoria

There are Magnesium tablets with no B6 - but they are hard to find - many have well over daily needs true - some of us need Magnesium - finding the contents of these tablets is often in font 6 so impossible to read - thats the real problem
