Let’s not forget that wonderful* anti-racism ad featuring Nova Peris, Eddie Maguire and Kyle Sandilands
Some people get fired, cautioned or ostracised for sharing human rights content relating to Palestine, others get appointed to national sporting boards after sharing content describing Muslims as “Satan worshipping cockroaches that need to be eradicated”. smh.com.au/national/anti-…
A one-off cut to student debt is welcome, but better would be students not racking up the debt at all. After 3 years the Gov still hasn’t axed the Morrison-era increase to fees, & no one is talking about fee-free courses which is what is really needed #auspol #politas
Is it my algorithm that puts the people who hate this to to the top, or is it just that EVERYONE thinks it ludicrous? & that this looks like a Parliamentary Old Boys gathering from 1995? At some point Ms Ley is going to have to crush this, or the parties will split again? #Auspol
It's time to end net zero and put Australians first again
Stupid blokes posse!

“I won’t accept Palestinian statehood cos Hamas, but I accept the state of Israel even though it is breaking every international law & perpetrating genocide.” Shorter @AlboMP
The fact @NovaPeris can share tweets calling for the eradication of Muslims & maintain her position on a government-funded sports board shows that Australia still has a huge problem with institutional racism.
In Australia, we had a Labor Prime Minister Julia Gillard take on the church and initiate the Royal Commission into institution child sexual abuse, one of the most horrific pedo rings in history. The other side had two PMs Howard and Abbott write glowing character references for…
If pedophelia isn’t your redline, you’re irredeemable. 🤷🏾♂️
Drug companies: PBS is unfair Also drug companies: $5 billion in 🇦🇺 revenue last year but only paid around 2% tax We should protect the PBS and ensure multinationals pay tax here. afr.com/companies/heal…
I state the case for prompt recognition of Palestine given the massive genocidal scale famine being enforced by the IDF against civilian Palestinians. abc.net.au/listen/program…
For years and years, QAnon believed Hillary Clinton was running an international pedophile sex ring. Now Trump is about to pardon the woman actually running one.
Every journalist in Australia needs to watch this video about Jillian Segal, our antisemitism special envoy. youtube.com/watch?v=i1b7J7… @abcnews @KarenMMiddleton @SatPaper @guardian @SBSNews @Peter_Fitz @PeterCronau @TheKlaxon @PaulBongiorno @Kate_McClymont
Hard to break away from doing dirty back room deals. Why are huge new fossil fuel projects given the go ahead by the @AlboMP Government when every rational person knows that reducing emissions is of paramount importance?? Why oh why? Unless…….
The first term of the Albanese Government was the second most secretive in the last 30 years - more secretive than the Morrison Government. This has to change in their second term - we need more transparency and respect for the Australian people. canberratimes.com.au/story/9024243/…
How do you "take steps towards a 2 state solution"(Albo) if you refuse to recognise one party as a state? @AlboMP ?
Dan Tehan took his sponsored trip to Israel in 2024. His blindness is easily explained. #auspol abc.net.au/news/2025-07-2…
Now @ABCnews tries to recover its reputation — so allows a little criticism of Israel — now, after two years of genocide denial. “A really gross attempt to transition from two years of denial to partial acknowledgement of the bleeding obvious reality.”
No. Fucking. Shit. The feigned gormlessness is doing my head in @abcnews. The hiding behind 'veteran journalist claims' is a really gross attempt to transition from two years of denial to partial acknowledgement of the bleeding obvious reality. Enablers.
#auspol #aukus More absurd fear mongering by disgraced former public servant Mike Pezzullo. The media loves "China is about to attack" stories, despite the fact that there is almost no evidence for the claims. news.com.au/technology/inn…
It means he's a well-greased jellyback who will do whatever it takes to stand in the middle, not rock the boat & keep power. "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority."
So disgusting, @AlboMP after years of supporting a Palestinian state has capitulated to Trump and Netanyahu. Says we will make a decision based on “time”, what does that mean? Be strong, be independent and true to your past principles. #Insiders
Utter barbarism ... and the Australian government has sat on its hands during the entire grotesque spectacle, wholeheartedly backing the perpetrator.
This is not a scene from a Hollywood movie How is this possible in 2025? ‘Never Again’ was meant to be for all of humanity, not a small select group
Who cares? Dyrenfurth is part of the Israel lobby and totally irrelevant
Penny Wong: “War has rules…” Yes, & one of them is that genocide is not war. Another is that an occupying force cannot use military force against the country it occupies… @SenatorWong
