The difficult truth Writing exclusively for Crikey, Grace Tame reflects on the prime minister calling her 'difficult', the media storm following her pro-Palestine chant, and which social causes do and don't ignite public...

It's not 'difficult' at all to have Grace Tame & leaders like her in this country. We're so very lucky.

May more & more of them emerge - in droves - to balance out the absolute crazy-making the current & opposition govts are perpetuating ... & perpetrating.

Trump and Netanyahu "don’t merely lack any concern over civilian casualties in their quest for complete dominance, but that they see them as a positive.
...This is the behaviour of psychopaths"

Albanese has tied us ever more closely through #AUKUS and Australia as a base for the US military action.

Legislative harakiri. A rare win for transparency as FOI bill dead - Michael West The Government's attempt to limit transparency has been killed off. Widely condemned, the death of the FOI amendment bill is a good thing

Whilst it was Labor that killed its own #FOI Amendment Bill, it was an action forced by a team of non-government organisations working closely together with non-government senators. Here's the inside story on how the secrecy retreat was forced. #auspol

At least 13 hospitals and health facilities hit during attacks on Iran, WHO says Global health body investigating reports that four medics are among the 1,230 people killed in Iran since start of war

like killing girls, bombing hospitals is evidence of genocidal intent. Obviously we already have political statements for evidence, corroborating evidence, cumulative evidence etc etc that these atrocities are deliberate, and genocidal.

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

Andrew Wilkie says there’s β€œalarming parallels” b/w what’s happening in Iran now & the war in Iraq in 2003
β€œIn both cases the threat was exaggerated to justify the war”
β€œFor a country to attack another country in self defence then they have to have been attacked first.” #auspol

#AngusTaylor has nothing but smug contemptuousness for #TonyBurke calling him out for the $80m #LNP #Watergate scandal and how Taylor benefited when there wasn’t any water. Is that the look of guilt or what?

We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.

Bondi Beach bounty - $5000 a day - Michael West Is public service pay too high? Head of Bondi Beach massacre inquiry Dennis Richardson jags $5,000 a day for 'independent report'.

Why be a departmental secretary on just $2740 per day ($1M per annum) when you can be a recalled departmental secretary on $5000 a day? It’s your money … and Dennis Richardson’s β€˜Bondi bounty’. #CostOfLivingCrisis #FOI #auspol

Apart from AUKUS, the NACC, being weak on opposition to Israel’s war crimes, not stopping sports gambling advertising, still approving massive fossil fuel projects, happily hanging out with fuckwits like the Murdochs and Sandilands….?

Can we just take a reality check and realise, no matter what military orders and directives indicate.
The American military have never ignored an illegal order of war yet.
Korean War.
Vietnamese War.
Afghanistan War.
Iraq War.
Never received global UN approvals.

"The exclusion of Dr Abdel-Fattah was certainly racist. But the hysteria generated by her mere inclusion in a writers festival reveals what is really at stake: that is, the unbearable truth of the destruction of Gaza and Gazan lives must be repressed at all costs."

#Albo - Yank-Zionist collaborator Anthony Albanese skirts around the edge, in "Australia's interests," being a full-blown lackey of the Yanks and Israelis, ignoring their past #FalseFlag operations while engaged in the genocide of #Gaza, blaming #Iran

Not just 'something', damn straight, she's doing 'everything' right ...

The "old, pale, stale, middle-aged, highly privileged, war-mongering, (mostly) white male" is so out dated & so irrelevant. It's time for them to move on & make way for the new generation of those not at all like them.
