BBC News headline: Film about Gaza child's killing gets record ovation at Venice

This BBC headline is obscene for its deliberate obfuscation. "The Voice of Hind Rajab" is a docudrama on Israel's murder of 6yo Hind Rajab yet the BBC headline avoids mentioning Hind Rajab by name, naming Israel as the killers or the film's title. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #JournalismMatters

The U.S. accounts for two-thirds of Israel’s weapons imports. But it is not alone. The report names 63 countries that are complicit in “Israel’s genocidal machinery” in Gaza.

The Government That Isn’t: Labor’s Masterclass in Looking Busy Let’s be kind. Just sitting in the driver’s seat is enough for some. Then there’s the Competence Trap: the myth that good administration is an end in itself. Of course, we can’t rule out stage [...]

“With 94 seats, its largest majority since 1943, Labor governs with the courage of a bunny caught in the headlights, terrified of using its power. Keating would have reshaped the country with these numbers.”

Anyone heard from the nimrods who said Trump should get a Nobel prize for the ceasefire in Gaza?

Nannies play a vital role across our elephant units, helping newly rescued orphan elephants feel secure and loved. Their nurturing presence has been instrumental in Kipekee's recovery, which has seen her transform from fragile on the brink of death, to playful, mischievous and full of life.

What better cover for continuing to commit genocide,
when the western media and political establishment are all pretending there is a "ceasefire". #GazaGenocide

Israel resumes Gaza bombardment after US greenlight, kills over a dozen Palestinians in relentless strikes It has been abundantly clear that they do not intend to stop until every single Palestinian is either killed or forced to leave the prized Gaza shoreline to make way for Jewish-only settlements.

The Israeli genocide never stopped. It just slowed. Now it's revving up again.

'Jekyll and Hyde': How to win over Australia's most polarising bird Culturally revered in Dreamtime stories but feared by cyclists, the magpie has a "Jekyll and Hyde" presence in our suburbs. But one expert says there are ways to win them over — even if you're magpie ...

Magpies are friends. They are so curious and entertaining with their songs and antics

Hot take: If you literally can't survive without it, a billionaire shouldn't own it.

Digital infrastructure is as essential as roads and hospitals. Let's act like it and nationalise it now.

The only thing that will ever fix this deeply damaged man is heart failure.

No-one hates women like the Daily Mail. Just two of the comments about Virginia Giuffre that passed their 'House Rules'.

So, Murdoch’s new “Back Australia” campaign wants Aussies to ‘make things here’

Well, tell all the former Holden & Ford employees all about it, Murdoch, who supported the government telling Holden & Ford to F off.

Anyone with a brain knew this would happen. Too late now, China moved in.

Labor's EPBC reforms:
👎removed Minister's powers to revoke prev decisions (EPBC Reconsiderations bill)
👎NO climate trigger
👎NO fully independent EPA decision maker
👎bilateral agreements devolving Fed powers to states (bad idea)
👎allowing pay-to-destroy enviro offsets

Revamp IS worse than status quo

My car is called Hyacinth after Hyacinth Bucket for that very reason. 'Mind the pedestrian!' 😆

it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

The govt is yet to release the exposure draft of its EPBC reforms — keeping community in the dark on vital environmental legislation.

Without transparency or consultation, we can’t deliver the strong protections nature needs. Once again, this govt chooses secrecy over integrity.

The role of the United States in the dismissal of the Whitlam Government In 1975, Australia lost more than a Prime Minister — it lost its independence. The CIA’s hidden hand in Whitlam’s dismissal still echoes today.
