Niki Savva's 2 for 1.
She skewers the hapless, spineless Angus Taylor & the hate-formenting Pauline Hanson.
A credible Opposition is vital to a strong democracy & Australia gets these two.
'Lily-livered Taylor bows knee to Racist' could be the headline.
Kudos to @smh & Savva.

Every ex and current IDF member who enters Australia (and all other countries) should be detained and investigated for war crimes.

Nothing says "cohesive society" like a single diaspora having its own armed police.

Glenn Shorrock, founding member of the Twilights, Axiom, and Little River Band, turns 82 today.

The Twilights from '66.

Fighting the wrong enemy? Newspoll has them at a minuscule 17% primary vote & Redbridge-Accent, largely concurs. Yet Angus Taylor thinks polishing up Dutton’s regional first plan will somehow deliver the Coalition.

UN commissioner says all IDF soldiers arriving in Australia should be considered as suspects in war crimes.

IRANIAN PRESIDENT: “If we did not have our defensive missiles, Israel and America would have plowed through Iran the way Gaza was plowed through, showing no mercy to the old or the young. They speak of human rights. It is a great lie.”

It’s a hard truth to hear, but it’s true.

Pauline Hanson seeks to walk back her opposition to paid parental leave volunteered at the Press Club last week. I do not imagine it will be the last such retreat.

[Dr Andreas Krieg @andreas_krieg]

Sealed inside their own echo chamber, Israelis convinced themselves of a myth of military hegemony, total impunity, a small state that could play global superpower. This has been the narrative of defiance within Israeli discourse since 7 October

The bubble is slowly bursting. Hamas is still standing. Hezbollah fought the IDF to a stalemate. Iran extracted major US concessions without firing a shot. And Israel is more isolated than at any point in its history.

The "regional great power" was always just borrowed American muscle. They were just the last to notice.

Netanyahu: "I demand that Western governments do what is necessary to fight antisemitism“

No person on the planet has done more to fuel the rise in antisemitism than this psychopath.

[Angela Pippos @angelapippos]

I couldn’t help but think of my grandparents during Hanson’s address. They came to Australia with no English and set up a cafe in Adelaide. They contributed so much to the fabric of society, as did all the Greeks who settled there. Shame on Hanson for demonising migrants. #NPC

[Woke Former Senator @WokeMitt]

The thing I hate most about Bibi Netanyahu, and there’s a lot to hate about him, is that he has personally caused anti-semitism to become 1000x worse in America and around the world over these last few years. That will be his enduring legacy as prime minister.

[Mark Kenny @markgkenny.bsky.social @markgkenny]

You can’t divide your way towards consensus but what about chaos? That could well be within reach…

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

Netanyahu is killing peace. Israel won’t withdraw from areas it has seized in Lebanon, Syria, and Gaza despite the peace deal.

Iran wants peace.
Lebanon wants peace.
Palestine wants peace.
The US even wants peace.

Israel does not want peace. It wants to keep waging genocide and stealing land that does not belong to them.

Israel is the problem and must be disarmed, defunded, and dismantled for peace to occur.

Geez it’s great being a SOCIALIST and geez it’s great supporting a SOCIALIST govt.

Schools, hospitals, medicos, aged care, worker protection laws, transport systems, welfare, industrial law, rec leave, sick leave, paternity/maternity leave, free vaccinations.

Thank you Labor.
