Queensland says it's tough on hate speech and arrests an 18-year-old student for wearing a shirt that says "from the river, to the sea." Meanwhile the state's One Nation Leader Pauline Hanson, who said there are no "good" Muslims, remains unscathed and even gets a boost in polling.
UK's High Court ruled in favour of independent journalist Owen Jones in a defamation case brought by Raffi Berg, BBC news online's Middle East editor, over an article in which Jones alleged that Berg fostered a culture of 'systemic Israeli propaganda'. BBC is yet to report on this development.
Heartening to see the Iranian women’s soccer team given humanitarian visas. Australia can be a refuge for those fleeing persecution.
Aussie women and kids should be brought home too — no matter who their father/spouse was. Kids and mums aren’t something to kick around like a political football.
I have been telling her to head on back here!
We love to hear it
We love seeing our Etterati in the wild !

I thought it was just me who missed this !
NEW Episode, must Watch‼️
Jan Fran and Antoinette look at the Australian media’s coverage of the U.S and Israeli attack on Iran and show how a narrative gets set in the first 24-48 hours.
@janfran.bsky.social @antoinettelattouf.bsky.social
Unsure how to report on this fresh absurdity? Translation: the U.S. and Israel, both nuclear powers who have already flattened Gaza, now claim a moral duty to 'preemptively' bomb Iran. Why? A sudden concern for international law and paranoia Iran might develop the very weapons they already have.
My career goal !
I've been called far worse things than a 'clause'.
I got forwarded this workplace law newsletter which discusses how media unions want the new ABC enterprise agreement to include worker protections for reasons including political opinion and not be barred from certain topics
Friendly reminder that Kyle and Jackie O’s very public “fight” just happened to land neatly at the end of the survey ratings period. Funny how that works. Fresh survey starts, show stays top of mind, media froths on cue. Total coincidence, obviously.
Anthony Albanese called Grace Tame “difficult” in a News Corp word game. Donald Trump was merely “president”.
Throughout history women who fight to better society get punished and labelled problems
Men who are convicted criminals and whose policies kill are more likely to get a pat on the back

Great episode

There's excellent background on Vanessa-Turnbull Roberts and her allegations in the latest #WeUsedToBeJournos podcast.
Plus Antoinette and Jan unpick the political and media establishment's attacks on uppity women, Francesca Albanese and Grace Tame. #auspol

This is how we SOCIAL COHESION Okkkk?
BREAKING: Australia rushed Israel’s Herzog to ICC.
Relax, not the Hague but drinks at International Convention Centre.
There's no arrest warrant like Netanyahu but Herzog was cited by UN inquiry concluding genocide + current ICJ referral
Australia must investigate not sip bubbles with war criminals
A good read from Amnesty Australia about your rights if protesting - President Herzog (AKA Signer of Bombs that Blow Up Children and Assistant in a Genocide). Yes the Minns government announced draconian rules but its not unlawful to protest tomorrow

What and where ?
Let's see if our panel on censorship gets censored by the government/lobbyist alliance.
NSW government has already made contact with Newcastle Writers Festival board about including Palestinian-Australian author Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah, ABC reports
When will the bullying & intimidation stop ?
Albanese's baby photo opp and caption that it's a reminder of "who we are for" is posted on the eve of welcoming Israel's Herzog - a man who signed bombs that blow up children and who is complicit in a genocide.
