"why is Australia sending missiles to the Iran conflict?" asks Tom Lowrey, but forgets the most important reason:

It's because the Albanese govt's 'alliance' with the US and desperation on #AUKUS means they will do whatever Trump wants, including participate in an illegal war. #auspol

"Labor MP Josh Burns has warned against linking the actions of the Israeli government to antisemitism in Australia".

Burns needs to talk to his Zionist friends, including Jillian Segal, who are going out of their way to conflate Judaism and Jews with the genocidal rogue state of Israel. #auspol

"Australia’s passive refusal to challenge the US and Israel on everything from the illegality of the murderous bombing of Iran to the war’s opaque objectives, draws us closer to the danger daily.

ok so oil is doubling its price and we're about to run out of petrol because of that illegal war we're supporting, but Albo has avoided being called a pussy by Trump and that's worth any cost.

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El NiΓ±o

its not β€œhumanity” dropping the bombs and setting the oil fields on fire tho is it. Repeatedly launching shonky rockets to explode mid-air is a pretty exclusive hobby. Most people are not abusive image generator enthusiasts.

'Game-changer' new suburb announced for inner Sydney Thousands of foreshore homes are earmarked for a new inner Sydney suburb along the harbour, but future residents will have a bustling cruise terminal near their doorstep.

A new suburb for Sydney requires the removal of the current Glebe Island operations to Port Kembla. If so, I hope there are plans to improve Wollongong's rail & road infrastructure which have been neglected for decades

"Australia, in the person of Dr HV Evatt, played a central role in the construction of those rules – motivated by, as the current prime minister put it, the idea that 'looking after each other' matters.

It’s hard to believe that Evatt and Albanese belong to the same party." πŸ’₯🎯 #AUKUS #auspol

Israeli ambassador says it’s β€˜mind-boggling’ to question legal basis for war on Iran Israel’s new ambassador says Australia was on the β€œright side of history” by backing strikes against Iran as he warned against calls for a ceasefire.

"Israel’s new ambassador to Australia says it is mind-boggling anyone would question the legality of the US-Israeli strikes against Iran"

it is mind-boggling that this propagandist for a genocidal apartheid rogue state is cited as an authority on international law.

"The collapse of the Kyle and Jackie O radio partnership highlights a contradiction in Australian media culture – a society that condemns misogyny yet rewarded a program built on vulgarity, sexism and humiliation."

But for commercial media, misogyny makes money.

Guy alters my cartoon by AI in a way my workplace lawyers specifically advised me against, posts his version which violates my intellectual property. I ask him repeatedly to delete, he admits he doesn’t know how then tells me to provide the legal argument for him to do it.

Have you met the Democrats?! I’m not so optimistic that justice will be forthcoming. If that were the case, there’d be Democrats now who would sacrifice their own reputations to say what they know about Epstein, and who would call out the lobbies of influence. They prefer to save their own arses.

Destroying schools and health facilities.
Massacres of civilians.

The same pattern of war crimes that Israel has committed in Gaza.
But this time, with the US directly complicit.

Spain has shown courage and principle by stopping the US from using military bases in its country in the illegal Iran war. With US military spy planes already rotating through an Australian air base near Perth, Labor refuses to do the same as Spain.
