The commentators (with the exception of @latingle.bsky.social), analysts & politicians must all be very embarrassed.

It is clear that we, the people, have forced this change in willingness to recognise Palestine.

To deny that fact is dangerous & disingenuous.

Poor little Angus.

Irrelevant ... go away!

It started on October 7.
No Angus, it started in 1947.

A UN Peacekeeping Force for Palestine, on the ground there.

Let Netanyahu kill any one of them ...

Israel?

No, Israeli Government, IDF and Zionists are the enemy.

Netanyahu needs to know that!

Marles must go!

His pedantic lies about "components" and "parts" is a disgraceful abomination of the truth!

Australia supports genocide and Marles supports it.

The sooner he is out of the picture, the better.

Why lie about it?

The Labor Party is doing more to destroy the reputation of their parliamentary members than they ever would have imagined.
They could begin the reconciliation by replacing the Deputy PM, Marles with Chalmers with a view to the future.
The Australian public repudiates Marles.

We're waiting @albomp.

Revealed: Australia Exported F-35 Jet Parts Directly to Israel Leaked documents reveal Australia has sent F-35 strike fighter jet parts directly from Australia to Israel in the midst of Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza.

Lockheed Martin organises the supply chain of parts to build new F-35 fighter jets.

But when Israel requests spare parts and replacement parts, Australia exports them directly to Israel.

Israeli TV personality jokes ‘obese’ mother ate starving Gaza baby Israeli TV personalities are mocking children dying of starvation in Gaza, with one even joking a mother ate her baby.

Israeli ‘personalities’ joke about ‘selective starvation’.. one suggests an obese mother ate her starving baby

This is the country our tone deaf PM told “is losing support”

He thinks a country committing genocide still deserves any support?

Labor’s fucked

"Any tax reform must come with proper resourcing of the Australian Taxation Office, with the work done by public servants not outsourced providers."

This should not have to be said!
Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax in respect of housing needs to be stopped as a resource for the already rich.

Barnaby Joyce: ‘He’s not hunting ducks. He’s hunting David Littleproud.’ As Barnaby Joyce continues to undermine the Coalition’s position on net zero, pragmatists in the Liberal Party believe they need to treat the issue the same way Labor treated boat arrivals.

Why does this publication (TSP) keep publicising this issue when its dead in the water, except for a few lunatics in the opposition?

Lawyer says $10 million compensation for Folbigg would be 'reasonable' One of the first lawyers to argue that Kathleen Folbigg had been wrongfully convicted say the compensation offered by the NSW government is "grossly inadequate".

This is surely a joke and must be appealed.

The sum of $2m is grossly inadequate!

Israel-Gaza latest: Netanyahu says Israel intends to take full control of Gaza as security cabinet meets The prime minister adds Israel does

Next steps seem imminent. Horrific to watch.

Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu says he intends to take control of all of Gaza but does "not want to keep it", as he meets with his security cabinet to discuss a complete military takeover. #FreeGaza

Huge American-style utes are damaging our roads, reducing safety, and increasing emissions.

“In Europe they’re introducing measures to discourage people from driving these big utes...

"In Australia we’ve got subsidies for them.”

And with a pen stroke Jarrod Bleijie removes Queensland's public housing policy in favour of more post-Olympics land to go to property developers. There just aren't the resources to build the Crisafulli Colesseum & public housing so the most venerable are now cut off. #qldpol

Nice of Melbourne Storm to bring back Welcome to Country.

More nice of the media to forget Melbourne Storm’s director Brett Ralph is a major funder of the peak racist group ‘Advance.’

Labor what do you think you're doing, all for a half-hearted principle.

Rockliff appointed Premier of Tasmania!

Here we go again.

Incredibly strong human statement published today by a united cross section of Jewish, Christian, Muslim and secular Australians demanding action for Gaza. Sanction Israel, recognise Palestine and help end the horror in Gaza.

Not acceptable

Not "war".

Australia should recognise Palestine. To not do so only rewards Israel’s crimes Australia was among the first countries to recognise the state of Israel, but regrettably looks set to be among the last to recognise the state of Palestine.

"Israel unilaterally declared statehood in 1948 after an insurgency against Britain, terrorism against civilians and even assassination of UN officials.

"Australia recognised Israel within six months."

Chris Minns, you're an idiot and this protest will signal your downfall!

Penny Wong is pathetic.

Ducking and weaving on questions about Palestine after the weekends march.

No more ducking and weaving,
recognition for Palestine, NOW!

@albomp

They cannot simply cry increased costs or overruns.

These factors need to be addressed. They are a fact of life.

Councillors know this and are too afraid of raising rates; the threat of loosing their seats.

Show some strength of character and raise rates NOW.

Or we all suffer!
