"Israel unilaterally declared statehood in 1948 after an insurgency against Britain, terrorism against civilians and even assassination of UN officials.
"Australia recognised Israel within six months."

Not "war".
Not "conflict"
It's the deliberate, systematic destruction of the means to sustain life. #GazaGenocide #StopIsrael

Just one of Australia’s most senior journalists framing an anti immigrant race riot like it’s totally justified and legitimate! Wow 😳

“It’s an all-star cast. With that team and the right structure, it has every chance of success. It’s an opportunity to get it right, and everyone will want to see it work. We would be supportive of it, if the deal is structured in the right way.” #Whyalla go #GreenIron

Now we have Scott Morrison's mate Mick Fuller up here in Queensland investigating the investigation into Queensland's forensics lab.
The LNP are begging us Queenslanders to put them back on the opposition benches.
We are not even 1 year into this Crisafulli government. #qldpol
Just a reminder to all Australians. If you see your state or territory politicians coming at you with pamphlets, vote in the opposite direction. (Hopefully Labor, Greens, Independents, etc. heed this advice from Queensland). #qldpol

Like the writer of this piece, I find it difficult to believe that all the apparent “antisemitic” attacks that are taking place in this country are all motivated by religious beliefs and hatred.
Who has the most to gain from manufacturing outrage?

Queensland is a powder keg right now. Just a reminder not to go onto the parliamentary precinct to protest. It's a criminal offence.
Don't like that law? That's ok, go get the numbers & change it.
We go to the gates. MPs can decide to join us. #qldpol

The phrase "going after young women is my form of alcoholism" has been publicly used by Donald Trump, who compared his attraction to young women to alcoholism, saying things like "You put Scotch in front of them, it’s like—this would be my form of alcoholism”.

Strings are being pulled to shut him up but personally I think it will motivate him more. The US is a stinking authoritarian hole & real freedom of speech is being restricted.

It's Yagara Magandjin land. What's the world going to think when a 2025 government effectively declares terra nullis to build an Olympics Colosseum? What century is their thinking in? #qldpol

Not so sure about that 😢I remember Vietnam ( 3 million killed ) ,Cambodia ( 1.5-2 million ) Rwanda ( 500,000 dead) and starvation in Sudan now.
No doubt Neatanyahu is a war criminal and should be at The Hague.
If he was bombing and starving white Christians then yes it would not just be words
The Crisafulli Colosseum is so bad of an idea that even former Qld Premier & former Brisbane mayor Campbell Newman is against it.
Yes, HFS. Australia, it's unlikely I will agree with Campbell Newman ever again. This is it. #qldpol youtu.be/VXQVsT3bPT0
South Australia is powering up, with more than 50 new community batteries being switched on, helping more Australians get solar power into their homes and businesses. Today I visited one at Living Choice here in Flagstaff Hill.

You can imagine what happens next when there's a Labor state government & a LNP council. Fun times. #qldpol
