Home - No War Without Parliament The decision to go to war is one of the most serious choices any government will face. The cost to the nation can be enormous, with unknown consequences.

Why we need war powers reform
So no PM can commit Australia to a war without parliamentary oversight.
Remember when John Howard pushed Australia into the illegal invasion of Iraq
Don't let it happen again in Iran

We were standing still holding placards. There were older people, two women with prams, school teachers, & a woman with a young kid standing near me. None were militant, all were everyday Australians. It was not a riot. We were dissenting against the invitation to a war criminal on our soil #auspol

Chris Minns - pepper spray for peace protestors one day, lunch at war-crimes-lobby the next - Michael West Premier Chris Minns' police unleashed pepper spray on hundreds of peace protestors yesterday. Today he addresses the AICC Israel lobby

Longer term, Minns doesn't want pesky protestors getting in the way of his close relations with the Australia Israel Chamber of Commerce, and their "deep ties with companies involved in the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank."

We will not give up, Australia. The people know what's right even if our venal politicians pretend not to. We are with you, Palestine. We will not give up.

Isaac Herzog is accused of inciting genocide in Gaza. He shouldn’t be welcomed to Australia | Chris Sidoti Anthony Albanese should recognise he made a terrible mistake in inviting the Israeli president to Australia and put a stop to this divisive political visit

"The (UN) commission of inquiry has found that Herzog has incited genocide... Someone who incites genocide does not satisfy the good character test for entering Australia. On the contrary, a person who incites genocide should be arrested on arrival and tried under Australian and international law."

News rooms urge caution around using the word 'terrorism' when talking about throwing a bomb at an Invasion Day protest, "it's not like something extreme happened like a uni student eating a slice of watermelon."

It’s getting hotter thanks to climate change. Seriously though what will it take? | First Dog on the Moon What if we started holding the government accountable

This global heat map is extraordinary. Australian political leaders who pump out fossil fuels and ignore climate change are threatening our survival on this extraordinary continent.

I don't think people know just how much the billionaires, the elite of the elite, are contributing to ADVANCE and how they are destroying our democracy here in Australia. Another megaphone vehicle for hidden wealthy anonymous donors like Rinehart & MAGA mates to propagandise, lie & misinform.

Australia Institute research shows that nurses pay more tax than gas and oil companies.

Meanwhile, multinational gas companies get 56% of our gas for free and then export it overseas.

That's "former" National Socialist Network member Cameron Cuthbertson in the red jacket, assaulting someone in Melbourne yesterday. He still hasn't been charged over his role in the assault on Camp Sovereignty last August.

Pauline Hanson, who spends her life spreading racism, draped herself in an Australian flag featuring the Union Jack, at the March For (White) Australia rally.

Pauline Hanson, who spends her life spreading racism, draped herself in an Australian flag featuring the Union Jack, at the March For (White) Australia rally.

The Australian flag is now a symbol of racial hatred and white supremacy.

During the 1960s, Canada's previous Red Ensign flag, which featured a Union Jack, was also associated with racists.

That's why Canada switched to the current maple leaf designπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Time for Australia to change its flag.

Device allegedly thrown into Invasion Day crowd designed to 'explode on impact', say police A 31-year-old man is charged with making explosives in suspicious circumstances after a device was allegedly thrown into a crowd of hundreds of people attending an Invasion Day rally in central Perth ...

This should be headline news for days.

The IPA and Advance should be listed as hate groups for growing the racism that leads to this type of intended horrific violence.

Tax the rich. A government that builds social housing, solves homelessness and helps the unemployed instead of vilifying them, funds renewable energy and puts people before profit, acknowledges First Nations sovereignty and stops sucking up to the US and UK, & addresses climate change #auspol
