1/4 Queensland Government is not just breaching human rights and international law, they’re bragging about it.
Australian governments regularly breach the human rights of marginalised people - but they silence, rather than advertise it.
“The refusal of the Qld coroner to conduct a coronial inquest into Lomas’s death reveals again what many black women know: it is not a place for truth-telling but rather a mechanism to alibi the state and its failures” @amymcquire #auspol#auslaw https://t.co/hVBhn8dpdf

Hard to overstate how important this is: we've been told that USyd is an antisemitism hub, and Palestine supporters are the reason. That's been widely contested, incl. by Jewish people. Now, it turns out that the uni itself has *no evidence* of it, despite Zionist complaints.
Join us for the final 2025 Black Knowing Seminar at QUT! Featuring Uncle @JoeGeiaMusic, Dr Raylene Nixon & Dr @amymcquire sharing powerful Indigenous scholarship in justice.

The horrors in Palestine are allowed bc the notion of indigenous savages has been allowed to flourish in settler narratives for centuries. We’re supposed to believe the settler/colonizer is the protagonist & the antagonist/“terrorist” is the native who resists.
On Friday kids had to urgently evacuate the Islamic College of Brisbane after a bomb threat. A third of the school’s 1700 students did not turn up for classes yesterday as fear rippled through the community. On Sunday night a 'suspicious device' detonated in a mosque on the Gold Coast, leading to charges. Now imagine the news if this was a Jewish school and Synagogue.
Racism is alive and growing in this country, and it is a direct threat to the safety of First Peoples and people of colour.
To see it so blatantly on display over the weekend should bring deep shame to this nation.

My @MYBISA prize-winning article is out now, open access in @RISjnl. I argue that an affective sovereignty forms the molten heart of Palestinian struggle, which cannot be extinguished by overwhelming violence.

Not suprised that both the @GuardianAus and @TheAge declined to publish the article by
Palestinian-Aust academic, Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah.
Both editors, Lenore Taylor & Patrick Elligett have been on the junket to Israel.
But why did The Conversation Aust @ConversationEDU refuse?
Randa Abdel-Fattah details life as a target of the pro-Israel lobby and those who capitulate to it, in an op-ed commissioned by The Age and then rejected

the disgusting letter from 5A to La Trobe and the BWF once again makes the claim that jews are indigenous to occupied Palestine. here's a good run-down from Sol Brager (from a few years ago) of why that's crap.

Academics from @Deakin and @victoriauninews from pro-Israel lobby group "5A", using their uni emails, wrote to Latrobe uni & Bendigo Writers Festival in July to pressure cancelling me . Demanded "'measures" be taken. And so we have the reason why the Code was sent.
Note the ease with which 5A defames and smears me- and that this was indulged by Latrobe uni & Bendigo festival. The anti-Palestinian rot runs so deep.

5A, a racist zionist organisation, lobbied La Trobe & BWF to remove the brilliant Dr @RandaAFattah, leading to the 'Code of Conduct'. this continual collusion between lobbyists and organisations to try to shut people down cannot be allowed to continue.
