Stunning moment when a Sky News journalist programmed only to run through western propaganda talking-points gets schooled by a Palestinian in what it means to be a thinking, feeling human being

Another happy news from Australia

A group of Ezidi families have received the Australian citizenship.
These families have been living in Australia around 2016.

Many thanks to the Australian government

Although it might seem early to launch our 2022 Christmas Winter Appeal - winter is fast approaching for the refugees in the camps in Kurdistan.
We appreciate your support for this essential winterisation project.

@farhadbarakat This is an absolute tragedy.
Both the murder of the father and child but also the response from the Yazidi youth at chamishko camp in Zacho and the wider Yazidi community.
Stop encouraging the continuation of tribal wars, retribution and hate.
Work for peace and harmony.

@LenBaglow Congratulations- incredible achievement

@DocumentaryDFT @StateIRF @UNESCO @UNESCOIraq @UNWTO @TravelKurdistan @NatGeoTravel @travelchannel I love this special monastery.
Have enjoyed several visits to Alqosh including being hosted by the caldean catholic priest in a seminary in Alqosh where an Australian Psychologist led workshop for some of our team - Operation Hope Australia Ltd and staff from The Hope Centre.

A nation that accepts that children as young as 10 can be placed in a prison is a nation that has failed its children. #raisetheage

54 people died of covid today.

If that was a train crash, it would be front page news everywhere. There would be national mourning.

Instead, another train crash will happen tomorrow. And the day after... etc

Don't let anyone normalise preventable deaths

A cool $905,000 of taxpayer funds spent fitting out John Barilaro’s New York office digs. Folks in Lismore still awaiting government assistance & navigating homelessness after the floods. Public sector value at its finest 👌🏼 #nswpol

Poseidon Poles & Flags of Sydney said they sent the NSW Perrottet government a much lower figure than $25million to replace the 3 poles on the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
They said it would cost less than $650,000 with each pole costing between $175,000 to $200,000.
