I have been issuing FOIs and writing about the situation in Gaza since November 2023 (see all links below). The ICJ, in the case of Bosnia and Herzegovina v Serbia and Montenegro, held that the obligation to prevent genocide arises “at the INSTANT that the State learns of, or…
No “weapons” exported, they say. No “armaments” exported, they say. But Israel is getting “parts and components” of weapons directly from Australia. 👉 “The leaked shipping records we sighted show the export this month by Microair Avionics from Australia to Elbit in Israel of…

Joint statement on Gaza from @AFP, @AP, @BBCWorld and @Reuters
Perhaps Richard Marles would care to explain why he now considers legitimate questions about transparency and accountability in relation to Gaza divisive? He may also care to explain what advice he has received apropos parts and components exported from Australia (whether made…

"...So one of the things we often hear from politicians and some broadcasters [and DFAT officials, see below] is that we can't use the word genocide until a court of law like the ICJ has determined. But the Genocide Convention is the Convention to Prevent and Punish Genocide. If…
“If we're required to wait until a genocide has happened to invoke [the Genocide Convention], it's nonsense.” Alex de Waal, executive director of the World Peace Foundation, says that Israel’s starvation of Palestinians in Gaza constitutes a violation of the Genocide Convention.
17,000 children have been killed by Israeli strikes in Gaza since 7 Oct 23. Today I joined a vigil held by human rights groups & the Palestinian community to read aloud names of some of these children. The Aus govt must take decisive action to end the genocide. #auspol #politas
#auspol #aukus Australia quietly pays US another $800 million for AUKUS despite review. By the end of 2025, Canberra will have paid $US2 billion, or just over $3 billion, to the American shipbuilding industry to boost submarine production. smh.com.au/world/north-am…
Media ignored it but Palestine vigil is still going. @sstephanietrann reports from Canberra on the govt's role in Israel's genocide in Gaza #auspol michaelwest.com.au/march-on-canbe…
A significant debate took place in the UK Parliament on Gaza. Massive condemnation of the Israeli govt and calls for sanctions against Israel. The Left of the ALP must demand a parliamentary debate and seek sanctions against the genocidal Israeli govt. theguardian.com/world/2025/jul…
Notice how the MS media don't explain to the public that Australia is not meeting its obligations under international law. They omit that bit when they tell us about Albos or Wongs latest rhetoric.

How good is having an independent foreign and defence policy? I mean Australia won't know, but it would be good to have. Maybe we should ask the US?
With the usual exception of the United States, this Joint Statement included all of the international partners in the global F35 enterprise. Unless the 'partnership' is in fact a 'dictatorship' under the United States, the bloc representing 7 out of 8 partners must surely have…
