A Birmingham seat is being recounted for the third time.
The Workers Party won the first count by 6 votes. They won the second count by 6 votes.

Focused on Australians:
*Adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism
* Sending biometric data to the tech overlords
*Sending Australians to a war started by Trump and Netanyahu
*Talking tough about Iran with 25 days of strategic fuel reserve
*Changing legislation to suffocate third party political options at the ballot box
*Spruiking Australian sovereign wealth as a cash cow for Trumps US to plunder
*Focused on Israel

The percentage of child dead in the Ukrainian conflict is 0.3%.
Zero point three per cent.
The percentage of child dead in the Gaza conflict is 37.7%.

The situation is beyond catastrophic.
The dead are lying on the floors, and there are hundreds of wounded, with no resources, no time, and no safety.

Save us — before silence becomes a partner in this crime.
Australia takes a fearsome step towards the dark.
“Senator Lidia Thorpe moved several amendments to the bill, including inserting the following statement:
“As per the judgement of the Federal Court in Wertheim v Haddad [2025] FCA 720, criticism of the practices, policies, and acts of the state of Israel, the Israeli Defence Forces or Zionism is not inherently criticism of Jewish people and is protected political speech, and not hate speech.
“This amendment was rejected by 43 to 12, with the major parties opposing it.”
