This is not 'social cohesion' – it's just a tighter net to trap us all Australians have been lectured a lot on social cohesion, but it reached a fever pitch after protests against the visit by Israel’s president.

'Social cohesion'? No, it's just a net to trap us all

Excellent questions from @simonrosenberg.bsky.social

Please tap on the OP below and share & repost widely.

This is important. The possibility of foreign war criminals using our ABC to suppress their victims voices cannot be ignored.

ABC pulls interview with Palestine advocate from website and iview During the interview, Nasser Mashni made a pointed remark that it was time 'for Palestine to be free, from the river to the sea'.

"This appears to be another instance of Palestinian voices being silenced.”

So:
- Who directed that Mashni's interview be deleted, and why?
- Is ABC censoring views critical of Israel?
- has 'Lawyers for Israel' or other Zionist lobbies, pressured the ABC Chair?

Just so we’re clear:

Protesting a genocide and the invite of a man credibly accused of war crimes = unacceptable violence

Police beating and detaining said protestors = justified violence

An email from Epstein naming Herzog as coming to the island "this weekend" from 2014

An email from Epstein naming Herzog as coming to the island "this weekend" from 2014

Isaac Herzog, special guest of the Australian government this week, is in the Epstein files.

It appears he went to the pedo rape torture island, alongside Ehud Barak, former Israeli PM, in 2014, long after Epstein’s conviction and outing as a predator.

@albomp.bsky.social only the minority Zionist lobby want this visit to go ahead - no-one else, not other Jewish groups, not other cultural groups, not the majority of people who voted for you want this visit. This will cause more harm, please reconsider for the sake of the majority of Australians.

Given our essential and often dire relationship with water it is foolhardy and against humanity’s interests long term for us to be promoting/endorsing/building or using AI or data centres - its not our interests being served is it?

The UK government didn't want you to see this report on ecosystem collapse. I'm not surprised | George Monbiot It took an FOI request to bring this national security assessment to light. For β€˜doomsayers’ like us, it is the ultimate vindication, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem.
Thank you.

So it’s only a terrorist attack if it’s other cultures living here not our own indigenous peoples, just β€˜un-Australian.’ Not a peep of outrage from media, politicians or sportspeople.

There have been recent reports that an American company, Energy Fuels, is bidding to takeover Australian Strategic Materials (ASM). The takeover bid is subject to a number of conditions, including government approvals.

You would think so. So much opportunity to right some wrongs, secure decent, and bold, policies that work in our favour. No LNP sitting govt has ever worried about what the opposition thought of them and this ALP govt with its majority numbers shouldn’t either.

There’s a lot of cowardice, weakness, pandering and knee-jerk reactionism across all political parties. So disappointing.

I support these sentiments, betrayed is an appropriate descriptor.

To add, our Australian political landscape feels infested with lobbyists and os interference eroding public trust in the very system meant to serve and protect us.
