Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Interesting to hear CEO of NSW Ports say Port Kembla has not been approached to consider housing Nuclear Submarines which makes you wonder where the government plans on putting them. Is Jervis Bay’s Creswell Navy base the plan therefore bypassing public opposition? #auspol

APAN, the voice of the Palestinian community in Australia has been refused leave appear at the RC on antisemitism and social cohesion.
Denying Palestinian Australians who have had relatives slaughtered in the Israeli genocide in Gaza is a denial of natural justice,

Who benefits from Australia's 50% CGT discount (2022–23, Treasury)

Top 10% of earners: get 86% of the benefit
Top 20%: get 89%
Over-60s: get 52%
18–34 year olds: just 4%

Avg benefit to top earners: $86,000+
Avg benefit to bottom 60%: ~$5,000

ie - the young do not benefit from CGT disc

Remember, always, that Murdoch’s NewsCorpse pays no tax in Australia. None. Zip. SFA. Hasn’t for years. Any lecture on tax from a Murdochracy rag is drenched in hypocrisy.

80% of Capital Gains Tax discount benefits the wealthiest 10% of people

That means 90% of us have been subsidising the wealthiest people to turn our homes into unproductive tax write offs

Labor’s budget is trying to fix this inequity

Renewables surpass coal power globally. This is why bad actor politicians, One Nation, etc, are going into hyperdrive. Their puppet masters, fossil fuels, are increasingly desperate. It’s why the lies are even more extreme — and even more obvious…

The most poorest people in Australia are voting One Nation simply because Pauline Hanson tells them that everything that is wrong in this country is because of immigration. Pauline Hanson votes against her voters interest ALWAYS. Her voter base is gullible.

🚨 nobody is telling you what Iran actually hit tonight..

most people are calling Fujairah a "coalition target".. it isn't..

the ADCOP pipeline was built in 2012 for one specific reason.. so Abu Dhabi could keep exporting 1.5 million barrels a day even if the Strait of Hormuz went dark.. 406 kilometers of insurance policy routed entirely around the chokepoint..

Iran didn't hit a military base.. Iran hit the insurance policy..

and here's the part nobody's connecting..

Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline.. the only other major Hormuz bypass.. was struck on April 8.. losing 700,000 barrels a day of throughput..

both bypasses.. hit.. within 30 days of each other..

this is the same playbook every single time.. you don't need to close the strait if you've already destroyed every route that avoids it..

Iran isn't blocking Hormuz.. it's making Hormuz the only option.. and then holding the key..

every barrel that used to route around the strait now has to go through it.. or not go at all..

the bypass was supposed to be the insurance policy..

they just canceled it.

there's a part 2 to this and only my followers are getting it.. don't miss it.

REPORTER: Can you explain the computer log in issue? Your lawsuit contends you were not able to log into the system

KASH PATEL: Let's have a survey. How many of you people believe that's true?

REPORTER: Did you communicate with anyone you thought you were fired?

PATEL: It's an absolute lie. It never happened. You are lying.

REPORTER: The lawsuit says the opposite!
