⚠️ Eight courageous women have occupied the NSW state-owned logging agency Forestry Corporation’s office in Coffs Harbour today, locking on and scaling the building with banners reading “End Native Forest Logging Now!” #nswpol

[John Urane @UraneJohn]

The unbridled audacity of this cowardly prick. Willing to cuddle small children & dogs as he endeavours to appear human while his government provides the IDF military hardware to kill kids.
Wonder if he'd have the stomach to pick up a child's body parts in Gaza for a photo op?

[Ben Pennings @BenPennings]

Labor failed us in majority government. We need a Labor-Green-Teal government to get any decent action on climate and housing.

Don't waste your vote‼ Put a Green or progressive independent before Labor. If they don't get in, Labor gets your vote anyway 💚❤️

What decision could be greater than giving up alcohol? One year on from an alcohol-fuelled haze last New Year’s Eve when Matt Condon vowed off ever drinking again, this is how it’s worked out.

Jfc Penny ... You're aware that, as a signatory to the Geneva Convention, Australia is obliged to do *everything in its power* to prevent genocide, even when we don't think our actions will do that.
And what actions have you taken against Israel? Not a sausage. Not a sanction.

🚨 7:02 p.m. local

🚨Israeli settlers have began gathering and attacking Palestinians north of Ramallah and Jaba’ northeast of Jerusalem just moments after Israeli hostages have been released.

🚨Meanwhile the 90 Palestinian detainees, including a child, are yet to be released as families await for reunion.

That's not all - @WoodsideEnergy are also spending $30 mill to upgrade the Perth Concert Hall for the @WASymphony

Usual timing huh?!

Just when Woodside needs @walabor to approve its Scott Reef gas hub as part of the largest new fossil fuel project in the Southern Hemisphere 🫠

Can @AlboMP please confirm the number of Israeli-Australian duel nationals serving in the IDF? Are we talking hundreds or thousands? Will these said soldiers be investigated for potential war crimes if and when they choose to return to Australia? Will a FOI request be required?

Australia is at war against Yemen (in case you didn’t know)

“Acting Prime Minster Richard Marles announced earlier that the country would send a “significant number” of ADF troops and two RAAF aircraft to the Middle East.” https://t.co/Vc4kDD0RvZ

More than 1% of people in the NT are locked up behind bars. If the NT were a country, it would have the second-highest incarceration rate in the world.

The time to end mass imprisonment across Australia is now.

Our hearts are with the residents of Southern California as wildfires continue to impact communities. Israel stands in solidarity with those affected, and we send strength to the brave firefighters and first responders working tirelessly to protect lives and homes.

Why does @PeterDutton_MP show respect by wearing a kippah at a synagogue but refuse to stand before Australia's First Nations flags to show his recognition?

The first law officer of Australia should not be meeting w/any officials of a state that is violating orders of the International Court of Justice, or w/ any members of the Netanyahu govt, as their Prime Minister is a wanted man by the ICC, a fugitive from the law. #auslaw

Thank you for reporting this unfolding story @ggreenwald

The public response on social media to the live genocide has for the first time put Zionism under the spotlight and Zionists don’t like it.

My case is still unfolding and in further developments,
I had to correct errors and assertions made by Alon Cassuto regarding the Statement I offered by way of settling a legal dispute, errors repeated in Murdoch’s The Australian.

I did not and could not apologise for my posts.

Their original demand was I delete ‘all offending material’ and ‘not repeat the conduct’. What I potentially face is a 3 to 4 week defamation style trial, to establish whether my activity on X as a journalist and commentator falls under the exemptions to this law.

This is the modus operandi advocated by Alan Dershowitz for critics of Israel - lose their jobs, their house their car etc

The Australian-made bomb release mechanism worked as it was designed to do — releasing the 500kg bomb onto the kids and families in the tents of the refugee camp in Gaza — delivered by the F-35 fighter bombers of the brave Israel Airforce.

Say that again, out loud:
**Fighter jets bombing a refugee camp**

👉 Australia is the “sole supplier” of the bomb release mechanism to the F-35 — just imagine what an Australian weapons embargo could do.
