Oh my dear @ABCnews — you did it..

An entire story on @abc730 about the famine inside Gaza — and not one mention of the word ‘Israel’.

Not one mention it is due to an Israeli blockade of food supplies — no mention it is an Israeli-forced famine — Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.

I recommended this a while back. Absolutely incredible. Alas, it seems nobody wants to pick it up for a second series...

Enjoy a tease for what might have been:

I remember standing around at the back of a jumbo with my 7th complimentary beer in hand, smoking and laughing with other people like we were in a bar.

How is it that the seats look so wide and yet the layout still appears to be 3-4-3?

That family is now living with “endless pain”, having missed saying their final goodbyes by just 10 minutes after Brown’s sudden death on 6 January 2024. Continue reading...

Hundreds more CSIRO jobs on the chopping block as experts raise fears over impact on science Concerns Australia is gutting its research capability coincide with Trump’s deep cuts into US science agencies

Cutting #CSIRO was the one of the most idiotic things this country ever did. Turning scientists into managers with it. And now more. We deserve to become a third world country. Industry doesn’t do it better. And the ‘economy’ isn’t everything. It’s all a con.

The Weekend Australian's 'exclusive' about ABC having an 'anti-Israel bias' relied on a former ABC staff member.

What The Australian and Cameron Stewart didn't reveal, is he had volunteered for Advance Australia while working at the public broadcaster.

Principal Advisor Mark Ogge chatted to FIVEAA about Australia’s current gas export problems and why it needs to change.

“We found out in May 2023, none of the gas companies had ever paid PRRT, which is the tax that’s been in place for 40 years.”

Mike Burgess on the ASIO soapbox, again Those with a regard for their welfare would do well not to get between ASIO chief, Mike Burgess, and a soapbox.

This is un-fucking-believable. @albomp.bsky.social Australia should be absolutely POURING money into the CSIRO, repairing the damage of Morrison's cuts, and nabbing as much talent as we can from anywhere we can find it. Australia won't become better or more prosperous by being stupid. #auspol #CSIRO

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombing of #Hiroshima (August 6, 1945).

While the world commemorates the tens of thousands who were killed that day, a similar act of genocide is unfolding in #Gaza right now. Humanity is once again witnessing the same devastation.

Open letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese MP from Australian former diplomats As pressure mounts on the Australian Government over Palestine, a group of highly respected Australians, who have represented our nation overseas, have gone straight to the top with a letter to the prime minister.

It is urgently imperative that Australia join 147 other countries in recognising a Palestinian state. To call repeatedly for a two-state solution makes no sense when only one state exists and that state is Israel.. #auspol #Openletter #ambassadors

the most persistent “crime” policy in all Australian jurisdictions is paying violent adults to harm children.

YouTube video by Consortium News Antony Loewenstein: The lobby knows it has lost hearts and minds

Just watched Antony Loewenstein. Worth listening to. The Israel lobby has lost the hearts and minds of people.

Worse than that, people now do not trust a word the Israel govt/lobbyists says, as they try to remove people’s right to speech globally.

What is the difference between the Nazis gassing Jews and enjoying it and Israelis gleefully watching the Palestinians being bombed...No difference! Both were vile

A wasteland of rubble, dust and graves: how Gaza looks from the sky The Guardian joins a Jordanian military airdrop for a rare chance to observe a landscape devastated by Israel’s offensive

This is what the biggest war crime of the 21st century looks like

And western governments, including the UK and US, are utterly complicit

They must be made to pay alongside their murderous Israeli 'allies'

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

The Australian government has no credibility wrt Israel and Gaza.
The #MarchForHumanity is a clear message to parliament that we, the Australian people, do not support Israel and we condemn the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people. #auspol Ignore us at your peril, Albo.

@albomp.bsky.social

Do you know what the biggest threat to social cohesion is?

You.

Prior to your cowardly capitulation to Zionist war crimes and putting Zionist Insurgent Segal on our payroll, it was Howard.

Now it's you.

You've allowed genocidal war criminals to dictate Australian policy.

I’m going to be a lot more active on this platform. If you know me from the other place, hello! Could you please give this a share to help me find my people.

Pic unrelated - but me on a run along the Rhône and Saône in Lyon! 💕

💯 Rawan Arraf, of the Australian Centre for International Justice, said the “only business” that Albanese should be discussing with Netanyahu is cancelling the “two-way arms trade between Australia & Israel, new sanctions measures, & Netanyahu’s one-way trip to the [International Criminal Court]“
