When you have a mayor like Zohran,
the words "government" and "exciting" belong in the same sentence.
"Crisafulli was asked what training police had been given about the laws:
'...I have faith in police implementing laws in a calm and measured way'."
So, no training. This was never about calm enforcement.
It's about suppressing protest against genocidal Israel.

Powerful Owl looking out of its now open transport container
Powerful Owl flying out from the container in a blur.
The Powerful Owl release that @lucyparkerpaul.bsky.social & I helped with went beautifully last night. We found a spot where there was open space to fly, and let it settle for a while with a view of a tree that it might fly into once released. And that's exactly what it did.

This appalling war that Labor supports is unravelling into chaos as Trump now calls for a Coalition of the Unwilling to send warships. Australia must refuse and instead join with other nations, not to fight this illegal war, but to help end it.

Doesn't work like that, Barnaby.
If you're in One Nation, you're stuck with racism - especially Islamophobia - as your core 'policy'. #insiders #auspol

A serious question that no-one in the Canberra press gallery wants to ask Anthony Albanese, Penny Wong or Richard Marles
Have you assessed the risks to Australia of aligning our foreign and defence policy with Christian nationalist zealots, white supremacists and strategic idiots? #AUKUS #auspol
Genocidaires as victims.
Beyond obscene.

Speers also reflects the political biases across most mainstream media:
Status quo parties like Labor, Lib and Nats are almost never questioned about their funding sources, even though there is so much evidence on how vested interests impact public policy. #insiders #auspol

Only 110 complaints to the ABC against John Lyons?
The Israel lobby must be losing its touch.
There's only one thing worse than Matthew Knott and Jane Norman trying to explain energy policy.

Yuli Novak of Bβtselem discusses here that her family doesnβt care that her organisation challenges Israel as long as it doesnβt discuss Gaza. Anything is allowable in Gaza. π΅βπ« zeteo.com/p/yuli-novak...
This is the dangerous, arrogant, ignorant, narcissistic fool who Anthony Albanese is trusting with Australia's national security. #auspol
"calm and rational experts are being ignored in favor of warmongers, white Christian nationalists, and pro-Israel propagandists who are perfectly fine pouring gasoline on the world."
And now Israel is using the war with Iran to accelerate their #EthnicCleansing of both #Gaza and the #WestBank.
And Lebanon.

The Albanese govt should be facing tough decisions too.
But instead, we have a political and media establishment who continues to suppress any serious discussion on the huge risks of #AUKUS, US bases and the US 'alliance'.
Which are currently in the hands of a fickle fascist buffoon. #auspol
This is who the Australian government has committed our foreign and defence policy to. #AUKUS #auspol
"the IHRA definition has frequently been used to 'equate criticisms of Israel with hatred of Jews'
...even its author, Kenneth Stern, has expressed concern about the 'McCarthy-like' use of the definition which he says is being weaponized to suppress political speech."

"Canavan is a climate sceptic and a social reactionary. He is anti-abortion, anti-marriage equality, anti-trans rights. He supports costly policies to keep mothers at home. He wants more babies and more jokes."
And his primary driver is the same as Barnaby Joyce's:
the fossil fuel lobby. #auspol
"weβre witnessing in real time what happens when the worldβs most incompetent, arrogant, and ignorant people lead the most powerful country in the world into a war without an entry or exit strategy."
And Australians are witnessing their government sucked in to this dangerous idiocy. #auspol
