All those sick ASPI think tank fucks that write in the newspapers, forever urging Australia to buy tanks and bombs and planes and submarines, they never suggest using this stuff to save lives in places like Gaza, only ever to fuck up places America wants to pillage

Landmark court victory came in yet another case that should never have been heard Dr Munjed Al Muderis’ case was the latest example of how a dozen money-driven defamation lawyers have made a cottage industry of extracting fees from rich clients only to score a spectacular own goal.

Calling for recognition of Palestine within a two-state resolution that's already been rejected by both Israel and Hamas is neither a bold nor significant act by Labor.
It's just another version of futile gesture politics.

Suspended for her Palestine vote, Labor's Fatima Payman is isolated from colleagues but has pockets of support Labor senator Fatima Payman draws heavy fire from her colleagues on Monday morning after she was banished from the federal party for her defiance over Palestine.

A year ago Senator Fatima Payman was banished from the ALP for voting with her conscience on Palestinian recognition.
Today she said β€œI am now in the wonderful position of being the only WA Senator able to put voters first and not have to toe a party line.”

Recognition of Palestine should have happened decades ago and is a fundamental right that the Australian Government has denied for too long.

Now we need action: Australia must sanction Israel & end the two-way arms trade.

Recognition won’t feed starving kids or stop the bombs.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:

β€œIf this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased β€” and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”

Israel just killed him.

I get why most Americans don't want to admit they are now living in fascism but this admission is essential to the fight back. They are building an army through ICE. One that will eventually have the power to arrest ANYONE they don't like and make them disappear without any due process

The lethal legacy of Aukus nuclear submarines will remain for millennia – and there’s no plan to deal with it Australia’s future nuclear submarines will produce highly radioactive waste, and allies in the UK and the US still don’t have a safe place to store their own

Along with nuclear submarines, Australia has signed up for tonnes of highly enriched nuclear waste that we have no current plans or way to safely store www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

President Zelenskyy:

"Ukrainians defend what's theirs. Even those who are with Russia know that Russia is doing evil. Of course, we will not reward Russia for what it has perpetrated. The #Ukrainian people deserve peace. But all partners must understand what a dignified peace is.

There was never any way in the long run Israel could be an apartheid state in the West Bank but a democracy inside the Green Line. If it didn't give up the WB, the population management techniques used against Palestinians there were always eventually going to be turned against Israeli citizens.

Gotta love how even though "there is no place for" yadayada on our streets "no arrests were made".

The conclusion is then, of course there is a place for that crap.
