@2GB873 Hmm, weird way to say “spreading medical misinformation online”

The regulator for Australia’s health practitioners, Ahpra, has shut down anti-trans lobbyist and Queensland psychiatrist Andrew Amos, banning him from social media and barring him from having direct clinical contact with any patients.

Proof that Drew Pavlou is just a racist dogwhistler - the kidnappers were white 🤌🏻

[Drew Pavlou 🇦🇺🇺🇸🇺🇦🇹🇼 @DrewPavlou]

This story is unreal.

A brutal Lebanese crime gang from West Sydney (the Alameddine crime family) kidnapped an 85 year old grandfather named Chris Baghsarian in a case of mistaken identity.

They apparently cut off one of his fingers and they are still holding him hostage even though they got the wrong guy - he has absolutely no link to organised crime. Just a random old grandfather.

I am so sick of Lebanese gangsters in West Sydney. Seriously DEPORT anybody linked to these gangs.

HEALTH: Privatization of hospitals generally corresponded with worse quality of care, fewer cleaning staff per patient, higher infections and higher rates of avoidable deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet Public Health.

[Climate Council @climatecouncil]

Like many before us, the Climate Council is farewelling X.

X is no longer the best place to communicate evidence-based climate science or shape national conversation. As misinformation grows, staying on X compromises our values.

Aggressive behaviour in Parliament is unacceptable, and it needs to be called out.

[Larissa Waters @larissawaters]

The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent.

Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees.

Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

@JoshBBornstein Go Sarah!

[Australian National Imams Council @ImamsCouncil]

The recent footage of Muslims praying in the city during the protest against the appalling visit of the Israeli President, being heavy-handedly pushed and forcibly moved by police while in prayer, is shocking, deeply disturbing, and entirely unacceptable.

Police are entrusted to protect the community, uphold public safety, and de-escalate tensions, not to interfere with religious worship or inflame an already sensitive situation.

ANIC is outraged by this footage and has raised urgent and serious concerns directly with the NSW Police Commissioner and relevant ministers. The NSW Government and Premier Chris Minns must take responsibility for this conduct and ensure accountability at the highest levels.

This treatment of worshippers is unacceptable in any circumstances. It undermines community trust, offends fundamental freedoms, and must be immediately investigated, rectified, and prevented from recurring.

Never seen this kind of immature, juvenile & embarrassing behaviour by police in my life. WTAF are they doing here exactly? Pathetic!! #auspol

[Jared Kimpton @jared_kimpton]

@allconnected8 @DavidShoebridge Someone caught it on camera.

[Max Loomes @MaxLoomes]

@DrewPavlou whataboutism is very outdated Drew. Try again

[The Chaser @chaser]

"Luckily the police seemed more than excited to step in and get as violent as needed to make sure he doesn't feel homesick" - Premier Minns

[💧Michael West @MichaelWestBiz]

NSW Police pepper spraying and assaulting protestors apparently unprovoked

[Mike Carlton @MikeCarlton01]

There is no reason for stopping these people marching to the NSW parliament a few blocks away. No reason at all. The ban is an iron-fisted overreaction and stupidly counter-productive.

[John Delmenico @thebigjohnnyd]

‘Social cohesion’ is apparently when police punch peaceful protesters and grapple men who are just praying

[Prof Ben Saul - UN SR Human Rights & Counterterror @profbensaul]

Australia now has some of the democratic world's most draconian anti-protest laws. Today a man was arrested as an "agitator" simply for peacefully yelling "shame" in the direction of the visiting Israeli President, on the basis it may have "incited fear" https://t.co/jZJ59cRU02

🚨’Multiple examples of NSW Police using violence against protestors’

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

Thousands have gathered across Australia to protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog, who is on a multi-city trip aimed at expressing solidarity with the Jewish community in the country following a deadly mass shooting last year.

@DrDavidAdler1 People praying in the street is a takeover? Don't tell the preachers around Sydney 👀
