The ability of legacy media to purposefully step on every rake is truly astonishing

No, Zionism and the attempted genocide of a race of fellow Semites is ideology.

It's the ideology of colonialism and it's been happening since 1913.

The people of Gaza are being starved.

β€œThis is a man-made #famine. It needs to be addressed through political means,” UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini tells @news.sky.com

Gaza must be flooded with large-scale food aid immediately.

Let’s go back to what works. Let us do our job.

Israel has literally never wanted a two state solution. It's a smokescreen for liberal guilt. Always has been.

In that doco on Morrison Barnaby describes himself as the PM's Praetorian guard. It has really stuck with me that he thinks he's some sort of warrior from ancient Rome, not the bloated drunken womaniser with no perceivable skill we all see.

Key child protection recommendations not implemented Following the childcare abuse scandal in Victoria, former royal commissioners say their recommendations have not been implemented and that governments have been β€˜shameful’ and β€˜delinquent’.

The lack of action on some of the most critical protections arising from the royal commission’s recommendations has come under greater scrutiny in the wake of the Victorian childcare abuse scandal. http://satpa.pe/8rnPKtC

Minority Lib leader Jeremy Rockliff expects MPs to sign off on $10b expenditure - $6b Marinus cable+ $1.5b NWTransmissionLine+$2.5b Cethana Pumped Hydro- without having read or had chance to analyse assumptions and figures. Tell him he’s dream in’. This is stand over tactics of a bully.

Virginia Giuffre hailed as β€˜fierce warrior’ for women, who β€˜gave voice to the silenced’ Family issue statement on alleged Jeffrey Epstein victim who said she was trafficked to Prince Andrew

πŸ’” Giuffre survived SEX trafficking, FOUGHT for JUSTICE for over a DECADE, & gave VOICE to the SILENCED

She DONATED part of her $12m settlement to other victims

The FIGHT COST HER EVERYTHING

She took her own life

NEVER FORGET what this system does to WOMEN

Good Morning. 25% of Gazans have reached stage five famine which is the highest on the IPC Food Insecurity scale. Which means for those people it is not as simple as a food drop. There are doctors begging to be let in to help. Pleading to save lives. What the fuck are we even doing.

Would be great to have access to the Epstein files. But let’s not forget the files are a secondary source of information about Epstein’s paedophile ring. There are plenty of primary sources available - the women who were Epstein and his associate’s victims. Why don’t we just listen AND BELIEVE them?

Education in Australia should be free.

Raising the rates of uni courses while pretending to lower the HECS debts is just moving the deck chairs.

Today marks 2 years since the Murphy Report on the harms of online gambling.

The crossbench has been calling for a ban on online gambling ads for two years. The Government has remained silent.

In those 2 years Australians have lost $50 billion.

It’s time for our government to act.

Ireland trialled a scheme where they provided 2000 artists with a guaranteed income of €1300 a month. It's been such a success that it's already been extended and there's a campaign to push it further. Here's the government report: assets.gov.ie/static/docum...

France to recognize Palestine as a state, says Macron, prompting criticism from Netanyahu – Middle East crisis live French president says β€˜no alternative’ amid β€˜urgent need to end the war in Gaza’; Israel’s prime minister claims announcement β€˜rewards terror’

Australia had a chance to be a leader, had a chance to be on the right side of history.

The govt instead chose cowardice and implicit consent of genocide.

France makes us look very pathetic
