How was he not jailed; for the hit & runs, for the death of one of the pedestrians, for the toxic, racist text messages?
How the hell did he work the system and get off so lightly AND then get to keep his licence, get a bit of 'Home D' & keep working?
APPEAL THIS SENTENCE TO THE HIGH COURT!
Title: Vetting the ISIS brides. Two frames. 1. Man with clipboard inside entrance of tent talking to woman in full burqa nursing baby with two small kids playing beside on the dirt floor. Man says: βJust a few questionsβ¦Are you: bigoted? Lacking compassion? Have you scant regard for due process and the presumption of innocence?β 2. Same scene, man continues: βIf βyesβ to all those, you satisfy the βAustralian valuesβ test as demonstrated by our political class, and we look forward to bringing you home.β

The Royal Commission must consider an antisemitism definition which is unambiguous eg The Jerusalem Declaration.
Unlike IHRA, it can't be "used as a tool for powerful Zionist lobby groups to silence criticisms of Israelβs crimes against humanity" - as Jillian Segal and Netanyahu intended. #auspol
This is brilliant.
Single frame. TV weather man stands beside map of Australia with stick pointing to map. Colour of map with temperature scale below shows fiery reds, orange and crimson pink indicating high temps throughout. Map in actual flames in some parts, flames on weathermanβs stick, his shoulders and hair. Heβs standing in brown floodwater with flaming, smoking branches, a cow and a koala clinging to a branch floating by. Rain blowing in from the left. Weather man calmly says, βOn the bright side, assuming global emissions fall sharplyβ¦β
Weather outlook.

A retired Minneapolis couple who had guns pointed at them by ICE in a church parking lot.
"They were obviously not trained at all. I've known many police officers in my life. These people were right off the streets."
"They had the professional demeanor of criminals."

Artist De Strandharker, a Dutch creator known for large-scale beach rake drawings, give remarkable tribute to the victims of Trump's ICE (RenΓ©e Good and Alex Pretti) π«Ά
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The incredible @janefonda.com is nine years the senior of T-rump, and yet her energy, clarity, focus, demeanor far outweighs the Orange One.
Whilst her call to action here is directed at the American public, I think we should all take notes and be prepared to fight for #democracy.

"Journalist Abd el-Rauf Shaat was killed alongside his colleagues Anas Ghoneim and Mohammed Qishta when an Israeli airstrike targeted their vehicle while they were on duty in Gaza today. The ceasefire is a lie. "( @wearthepeace.bsky.social ) #Gaza #Genocide
We did patrols around Harcourt the day after the fire came through & hosed down old trees along the roadsides that were still burning. Terrible to see the loss. And that was before they did 'clean up' for safety. The cumulative loss of old trees is hard to bear.
Politicians (certain politicians) aside, when are we going to jettison the now nonsensical nostalgia of journalists as a worthwhile element of society?
Indeed, the aforementioned 'certain politicians' only have their perverted reach *because* of these same journalists.

God this is just unending. The pro-genocide lobby group delights in trying to destroy livelihoods and honest reporting.

Absolutely shocking intimidation, harassment, hate at Indian truck drivers.
New hate speech laws.
Let's hope these racist cowards go to prison.

βWhen individuals are made the scapegoat for the swirling emotions that understandably follow an event like Bondi Beach, I know that I cannot join in,β writes Jane Caro in The Point.

Unbelievable. I told the Sky News guy to fuck off with his questions and now *that* is the story.
This hungry beast is insatiable.
Howβs that Royal Commission into Murdoch media going?
These are also critical questions for the royal commission.
The IHRA antisemitism definition is highly contested - including by its principal author, Kenneth Stern.
If the commission is going to deliver anything useful, it must address how the definition has and is being weaponized. #auspol
