A confusing time to live in.
QLD Police arrested two protestors calling for the liberation of Palestinians.
Meanwhile, our PM and Premiers welcomed Israeli President Herzog with open arms, even though he’s committing a genocide as we speak.
At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. A dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.
An American Tomahawk hit a primary school, killing 175 children. Is that a war crime?
UK PM: “We’re all concerned by that footage…”
Concerned.
But won’t call it a war crime.
THE SILENCE OF WORLD LEADERS IS FUELING THIS WAR. 💥🤬
#Auspol, this is what we have tied our wagon to 🤫
Yeah...who needs international law when you can fk the world up daily exporting death and destruction to prop up their economy...who cares.ffs
Wanna know why America and Israel is so hated.
Sometimes it's very personal.
Just so you know...
They obstruct the roads so Palestinians won't be able to leave their homes
Then they can easily conduct pogroms in their villages without them being able to escape
This is evil on earth.
"science-based climate action" was one of the core promises from the 2022 election.
Not one of the core promises has been fulfilled.
#AlboTheLiar is a fucking charlatan.
More "real climate action" by the government @chrisbowenmp.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social?
State and Federal governments subsidies increased by 10% in the past year. Now at $16.3bn pa, or $30,000 per minute
This bullshit needs to be reformed #NOW #auspol

It's in quotes because they were the words he used.
The fact the it contradicts their fossil fuel position merely highlights what a hypocrite Albanese is.
Well, that should do it.
All happy Jillian,you and your scum husband can piss off back to fucking Israel now

Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does
Fascism arrives in Oz. #auspol
Banned phrase “from the river to the sea” have I got that right?
When laws are ridiculous they deserve breaking
"Fifteen cops to arrest one girl." An 18yo woman was arrested for wearing a singlet with a banned phrase. Another man was arrested for speaking the phrase outside Queensland parliament. Premier David Crisafulli's criminalisation of speech will now be tested in court. #qldpol
Australia says it is “not involved” in the US-Israel war against Iran.
But intelligence systems, communications networks and US bases on Australian soil are deeply integrated into the war effort, Peter Cronau writes.

Tens of thousands of Australians are in Lebanon right now, sheltering from Israeli attacks, and the Albanese Government has not said a peep.
As the Albanese Government commits us to an illegal US forever war, they are ignoring the victims of the horror they support.
I was in Lebanon only a few months ago and the beauty of the country and kindness of the people was there from the moment I landed. The people of Lebanon deserve peace, not Israeli bombing.
I'm sure that the predominantly US owned oil giants will be very VERY scared of an Australian government 'watchdog' worried that they might be ripping Australia off.
What do the Solicitor General and Attorney General get paid to do?
The two named are not to be prosecuted so a pointless NACC .....but don't dare say from the river to the sea as you will be prosecuted and can be imprisoned....what a fucked up country ...deliberately run an illegal program that resulted in suicides
👇 excellent thread; terrible decisions.
Morrison one of the six referred to anti-corruption commission Sarah Basford Canales Sarah Basford Canales Former prime minister, Scott Morrison, was one of the six people robodebt royal commissioner, Catherine Holmes, referred to the National Anti-Corruption Commission. The final report, released this morning, found two officials – Mark Withnell and Serena Wilson – had engaged in serious corrupt conduct. The report found the other four, however, did not. The other four names referred to the Nacc included Morrison, Kathryn Campbell, Annette Musolino and Catherine Halbert. Morrison’s failure to realise the bureaucratic advice was misleading, the report found, was due to both the social services and human services departments failing to advise him and other ministers that new laws were needed. Campbell was one of two named by the Australia Public Service Commission in 2024 after it found 12 public servants, including Campbell and former department head Renée Leon, breached the code of conduct 97 times during their involvement in the robodebt program.

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert in which a journalist asks Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, " Have you just committed us to a war?" And the PM responds, " No, I've committed us to a (preemptive retaliatory de-escalation action to protect and defend Australians and other citizens in response to a request by our new strategic partner by sending defensive missiles & surveillance equipment to protect the airspace and assist the region with its collective self-defence against reprisal attacks that come as a result of the ongoing operation launched as an anticipatory response to perceived threats by historical allies acting against the established international rule of law who are too powerful for us to in any meaningful way challenge.) There's a very big difference." The words in brackets are arranged in such a way that they completely fill the word WAR written in a huge, hulking, bold khaki font.
A war by any other name.

First of the arrests in Queensland from Premier David Crisafulli's criminalisation of speech regime. The bill had been granted royal assent by the Qld Governor just hours prior. There was a much larger Qld police presence than we have seen at Palestine rallies in the past. #qldpol
Amy Remeikis. It’s become clear that Aust/US facilities are big part of Israel’s war/occupation machinery.
Jillian Segal’s aggressive moves to remove Aust free speech/protests are linked to Israel military needs. Aust has been occupied. #auspol

table of contents for the newly released robodebt sealed chapter
Sealed chapter of the Robodebt Royal Commission has now been tabled in parliament - the day after the release of the incredibly useless NACC report
You can read it here: www.aph.gov.au/Parliamentar...
No Labor MP was prepared to speak in support of this bill and the government provided cover by rushing it through with no notice and no usual speaking list, preventing crossbenchers from speaking on the second reading debate about the serious flaws in the legislation.
