News & opinion on Indigenous issues

[Dr Rahmeh Aladwan @doctor_rahmeh]

Australian billionaire Georgina Hope Rinehart wants to give free land to 'israelis' to manufacture autonomous drones and other military equipment.

Save yourselves NOW, Australians.

@UnpluggedOz @Mon4Kooyong Who is paying you to lie? Who writes these lies for you? Who is paying for your deceptive memes? Indigenous Australians have always been multicultural, long before the British invaded.

Kempsey City Council probably thought we’d forget about Noel Selby’s telling a woman it was a pity a man hadn’t bashed her. But we didn’t.

We did it! We together made our target and raised in a single day an incredible $1,500,357 ❤️❤️❤️

We showed that love can triumph over hate. That our diversity is our strength. Our Multicultural and First Peoples communities coming together, united is what makes us strong!

@UnpluggedOz @Mon4Kooyong This is a cobbled together bundle of conspiracy theories and lies. Data from reputable sources show the opposite of what you contend. Check your sources. Facebook and bot “facts” are too often driven by bad actors.

Long ago Hannah Arendt warned of the dire consequences of Jews establishing a state without the consent of the Palestinian people. By Robert Manne. https://t.co/lqOKQoUURO

This is Pauline Hanson’s puppet master looking and sounding like a trans version of Trump.

Barnaby Joyce is the JD Vance of Australian politics.

How quick their opinions change for money and power.

[Patrick McGorry @PatMcGorry]

How Pauline Hanson put a muzzle on Australian journalism Spot on here: “nobody seemed to think it fit to ask her why Welcome to Country is “divisive” while her own rhetoric is not.” Divisive is putting it mildly. It is selective corrosive racism. https://t.co/g9oca8AA80

@Jeff4theclimate @Dazzaat They can’t or won’t read actual policies. They were recruited as fanatics when they heard “no immigration,” “no aborigines department [sic].” They believe their imaginary white monoculture will be delivered by Pauline Hanson. One Nation is a cult.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

I worked beside Don Craigie for years as he pushed for justice for the death of his nephew Mark Haines on railway tracks outside Tamworth. We knew it wasn’t suicide and saw the racism police brought to the case. Now the coroner has seen the same and ordered a fresh investigation.

@farrm51 She couldn’t say “English.” Is she brain-damaged or stupid?

[Belinduh Pyne @belinduhpyne]

Even 20 weeks is too late to have an abortion!? Pauline, I didn’t know I was pregnant. I showed no signs or symptoms at 22 weeks!!!

Late term abortions are extremely rare. They only occur if there are fetal anomalies or the Mother’s life is at risk. They only occur for medical emergencies. No matter what you think, it’s always devastating for the woman, the trauma never leaves you.

[Misinformation Fact Checker. @MisinfoFact]

Pauline Hanson lies.

An ABC News Fact Check found no evidence linking Australian halal certification to terrorism or illegal funding. While lacking full transparency, the fees aren't shown to burden businesses, and funds typically go toward mosques, schools, and missionary work

[Heather Bilson. @BilsonhBilson]

I’d like to nominate Sarah Martin a sen /correspondent for The Guardian as
Journalist of the Year!
Sarah showed ultimate bravery in an out of control & hostile situation by being the only one to step up to the microphone to ask a highly appropriate question to well known thug!

[Jim Chalmers MP @JEChalmers]

Dropped in to see a building site of 21 social and affordable homes in Woy Woy that @AustralianLabor is helping to deliver.

Whether it’s providing 5% deposits, changing the tax system to make it easier for people to buy their first home, or funding $2bn in infrastructure to unlock more homes, we’re coming at this housing challenge from every angle.

Daniel Best @20thCenturyDan dug up this old SMH column of mine from 1998. I’d forgotten all about it. But I think it stands up ok.

[Australia Institute @TheAusInstitute]

At the end of June, the halving of the fuel excise ends. It costs the government $212 million a week.

You know what raises $350 million a week in revenue? A 25% tax on gas exports!

[Misinformation Fact Checker. @MisinfoFact]

Barrie Cassidy arguing that media double standards boost Pauline Hanson and One Nation. He notes that if her comment "No good muslim" had targeted Jews, the backlash would be far greater yet the media's handling has only seen her support rise.
