4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.

But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?

They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.

I have a chart / blog post about this I could write, but the gist is that most conservatives fundamentally don't understand the reason why people are having fewer kids and so will never be able to address the issue.

Millions in tax-deductible donations to IDF, illegal settlements - Michael West JNF an Australian charity with $200 million in donations is ignoring international law, siphoning money to the IDF and illegal settlements

Another Australian charity found to fund the IDF and illegal settlements in Israel. This one #JNF - probably the biggest.

Two people are arrested for saying “from the river to the sea” in QLD and could face jail time while the Robodebt whitewash sees no one punished,

Things are just wrong.

Two robodebt officials engaged in serious corrupt conduct, Nacc finds, but Scott Morrison cleared Anti-corruption watchdog makes adverse findings against two former public servants but clears four other individuals

Fair to say they might as well roll up the NACC.

What a disgrace.

Seems like the Canberra bubble is working a treat ..Albo is supporting an illegal war on Iran with a rapist and a wanted mass murderer..they are starting to breath in their own farts not even pretending that the majority of Australians say no to war

It's a sign how far the Overton Window has shifted to the right that Alegra Spender,
who might have been Treasurer or Finance Minister in a Liberal govt several decades ago,
is now sounding far more progressive than Labor.

Israel has used White Phosphorus in Gaza, and the US used it in Iraq. Russians use it in Ukraine. None of these criminal regimes give a fuck about international law.

Richard Marles refuses to say whether he’s had advice that the US-Israel attack on Iran is legal.

“That’s a matter for the Attorney-General”, he blathers.

We are governed by clowns.
Mendacious, secretive, dangerous clowns, who have given up our sovereignty to the Mango Mussolini. #auspol #abc730

I’m a single-issue voter for the phrase “the only minority destroying this country is billionaires” Talarico didn’t coin it but I’m glad to hear him say it.

Dept of Veterans Affairs confirms that despite having a report with details & images of Australian war graves desecrated & bulldozed by Israel — they have not referred it to the AFP for investigation or sought any legal advice on if it amounts to a potential war crime. #auspol

So. Australia has sent a plane and missiles and people ( bc how not?) to the UAE. To placate Trump (christ, why?)
And to protect Aus people living there. Do t they go there to avoid paying tax?
Any help for Beirut?
Penny Wong, Marles and Albanese, not really laborites any more, are they? #auspol

This is how fascist governments rise to power;

** When the left has poor leadership/stands for nothing/doesn't listen to the people**.. voters bleed to opportunistic populism & grievance, ie One Nation .. now sitting on 26% which is more than the coalition

Net satisfaction with the PM at -17%

I'll just point out, for those who don't know, my son & daughter are ½ Lebanese, ½ AoNZ, born in Australia.

So yes, I do feel I have a vested interest in my children's history.

Netanyahu can rot in hell.

This needs more attention. The guys who drove the Iraq invasion after 9/11 are back advising Trump on #Iran.

THREAD:

The University Antisemitism Report Card project by Czar Segal is not new.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in America run a similar process and have done so since circa 2024.

V2.0 of the ADL report card came out in March 2025.

Coincidentally Segal was in the US at the same time.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

Government seeks power to temporarily ban some people from Australia Overseas visitors planning to travel from certain countries could be temporarily blocked from entering Australia in an attempt by the federal government to stop a wave of people overstaying their visa...

The hypocrisy is so dangerous. While signing us up for an illegal war & claiming it champions human rights of the Iranian people, the Albanese Gov is ramming thru new laws to ban people from #Iran with valid visas from entering Australia.

David Shoebridge fires up saying Australians are horrified at Labor dragging us into an illegal war on Iran which “started with the US killing of schoolgirls.”
Says sending in Aus troops is “not about safety” but to ‘free up US assets’ so they can “kill ppl in Iran”💥 #auspol

Richard Marles lets down every Australian by gaslighting us about Trump and Netanyahu's war.

He's a powerful and dangerous politician - and we'll all be safer when he no longer makes decisions for us #auspol #qt

EIGHT DOLLARS A GALLON.

Downtown Los Angeles.

Today.

Trump promised to lower gas prices on Day 1. Instead he started a war with Iran and gas in LA just topped $8.

This is sticker shock. This is his fault.

The announcement today from the Albanese Labor Government to send an E-7A Wedgetail aircraft to the Gulf and provide medium-range air-to-air missiles to the UAE shows Australia has been fully dragged into another US forever war.
