After 2 years trapped outside Gaza, Palestinians finally returning home through Rafah are met with handcuffs, blindfolds, and hours of interrogation. Israeli soldiers told them: "Gaza belongs to us now." Yet every single one said the same thing: "We will not leave." mondoweiss.net/2026/02/hand...
Assistant police commissioner Peter McKenna: "It was really quite precarious at times for our officers who were significantly outnumbered by the protesters and the people who wanted to act in a violent and offensive manner."

The statement from Aftab Malik, Australia's Special Envoy to Combat Islamophobia.

The NSW cops are being so overtly aggressive it would almost seem like they were under orders to make sure the protest became violent.

“I arrived at Sydney Town Hall to protest against the war criminal invited to Australia. I was given a lesson in how quickly our country can be transformed from a free and fair democracy to a police state. Lines of police blocked every access”

Shared with us from Sydney happening now. He had his hands up.
Attend if you can, call your local MPs too.
The latest Congressional Research Service Virginia Class submarine advisory to Congress paints a troubling picture for Australia’s future nuclear submarine ambitions. Luckily Richard Marles chooses to ignore bad news in his own Defence procurement planning. #AUKUS #auspol
Proposed implementation of the Segal Special Envoy report should now be put on hold so as not to preempt outcomes of the RC.
Grass roots.
My @smh cartoon.
This is unacceptable. To even mention Randas work in the same paragraph as Bondi is deeply racist and should be liable.
what a farce
Remembering the role that Australian unions played in the anti-apartheid struggle - that too involved boycotts divestment and sanctions. Why Nelson Mandela thanked the Australian union movement - Australian Trade Union Institute share.google/GQZ6iK70Bgb4...
One of the 'stars' that coordinated the statement was Nova Peris who shared vile social media comments about Muslims - labeled them cockroaches and called for their extermination as I recall
The full report - from which this 'snapshot' is taken - targets an even wider group of individuals and organisations, including a Labor MP, two independent senators, Trade Unionists for Palestine and many others.
There are only two solutions - empanadas, revolution!
Former Australian trade union official here. Remembering one member - a staunch union woman in a very male dominated industry - who physically sat outside her boss's office and refused to leave until he agreed to pay for forklift license training and certification.
We were just talking about this with a group of comrades. None of us could remember it. We did remember 'Israel out of West Bank, Israel out of Gaza, Israel out of Palestine, Long live the intifada'!!
Hopefully something to make you smile - Palestine+skin care! Today my youngest gave one of their teachers Nablus soap from Palestine Fair Trade. Teacher gave her a little talk about how Palestinian soap is the very best thing for acne!
Media release: Unity must guide the Government's response to Bondi attack, not divisive pro-Israel wishlist

They said it.
They’re winning.

This is obscene.
The challenges facing the nation means we should be scaling up CSIRO, not cutting it to shreds.
While we are sending billions to the US for nuclear shipyards, our science and industrial base at home is falling apart for lack of funds and direction.
Alt text: Screenshot of a document outlining a new university policy. The bullet points state: No discussion of transgender topics or anything suggesting more than two genders. All information in syllabi about transgender topics must be removed. Instructors must use students’ given names, not preferred names. Safe-space stickers, LGBTQ flags, etc. are banned and must be removed. Employees must remove pronouns from email signatures. The university will not support faculty who teach or discuss these topics in class.
Under pressure from Texas government officials, Angelo State University in Texas is banning all discussion or mention of the existence of trans people along with banning the LGBTQ pride flag from campus and forced misgendering of trans people.

The destruction of the Gaza city mosque is a devastating loss to humanity as a whole. A part of our global medieval heritage destroyed in furtherance to a genocide. I despair.
#Famine in Gaza City can be stopped.
Reverse the ongoing catastrophe - flood #Gaza with a massive scale up of aid through the United Nations.
UNRWA’s warehouses alone in Jordan and Egypt are full.
There is enough food, medicines and hygiene supplies ready to fill 6,000 trucks.
Let us bring aid.
