Would it be antisemitic if I said Charlie Pickering's criticism of Grace Tame was unhinged?! I used to respect Charlie Pickering. But I have noticed his refusal to even mention Israel's #GazaGenocide, or its illegal settlements in the West Bank, on his news show #TheWeekly. 🤔

The Israeli ambassador to Europe is protesting the spread of this image. Let it spread all over the world. 🌍🔥"

Thanks to Ed Husic for saying what we’re all thinking

AUKUS has always been a dud deal and it’s getting worse thanks to ‘Dodgy Pete Hegseth, the Used Subs Salesman’

Caucus needs to roll Marles + Albanese the way it rolled Hawke over Reagan’s MX missiles

At last! An independent public inquiry into the fiasco that is AUKUS.
A great team of Commissioners led by Peter Garrett. As days go by the problems, changes and complexities multiply.
Why are we spending $368b to appease Trump and attack our most important trading partner?

[GBX @GBX_Press]

🚨 JUST IN

Military shipments heading from the United Kingdom to Israel have been halted in Belgium.

​Belgium has banned planes carrying military equipment destined for Israel from landing on its territory and has also prohibited the use of its airspace.

David Shoebridge for PM 💯

Trump has just told Albanese that he is not giving Australia any new submarines under AUKUS. I asked Defence how this can still be the 'optimal pathway'.

The response is... interesting.

[Peter Cronau @PeterCronau]

Community doing the job the government won’t do.

“A group of commissioners will be named to lead the inquiry, convened under the auspices of the Australian Peace and Security Forum.”

Peter Garrett to head independent inquiry into the Aukus submarine pact https://t.co/KWIAR4XqiU

Spending billion more on AUKUS, silence on genocide in Palestine, Palantir contracts and spying on Australians - we have many questions! This week we will demand answers in Senate Estimates again and I'm not holding back.

The clash of the egos between Angus Taylor - the fitful, rabbit-in-the-headlights opposition leader and Tony Abbott, the pugilistic, media-whoring alternative opposition leader - will end in tears

Thrones only have room for one - for obvious reasons

[Eddy Jokovich @EddyJokovich]

We keep being told women must be believed when sexual violence occurs, but why are women not believed when sexual violence and depravity is perpetrated by the IDF? Why are Albanese and Wong so quiet about these allegations from the Sumud Flotilla when the evidence is there?

[John Urane @UraneJohn]

Richard Marles espouses the benefits of obtaining 30 year old subs under the AUKUS shit-show.
We should give him points for keeping a straight face whilst dribbling shit.
Say NO to AUKUS!

[MFWitches @MFWitches]

How the fuck do we live in a country where David Pocock and David Shoebridge are now almost single-handedly doing the crucial humanitarian and anti-corruption work Australia needs because @AlboMP and his merry band of genocidal toe-rags point-blank refuse to?

For those of you who say voting Independent & Greens is a wasted vote, spend some time watching these guys in Senate Estimates saving our democracy & holding Ministers & public servants to account. Two of our hardest working, most effective Senators ever.

[Ronni🧂Salt-WhoWroteGunnawahYeahThatOne @RonniSalt]

I know right? Infuriating

People have endlessly complained that they never know whether the NACC has received their referral because they never hear anything again. Brereton tried to fob it off in Estimates as necessary for "confidentiality" to not inform people about investigations

As usual, he is creating his own question and answer. Nobody wants the confidential details, all they want is a simple reply saying their submission has been received - that's all

How is that so difficult in 2026? Perhaps all those hectic travel schedules don't allow them to work on foundational admin structures

[Max Blumenthal @MaxBlumenthal]

One of the most detailed testimonies I've heard of the Israeli torture and systematic sexual abuse of Gaza Sumud Flotilla activists abducted in international waters while attempting to bring aid to Gaza

[Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald]

Failure to vote for Israel at Eurovision is a sign of grave alarm and apparently warrants a Senate investigation in Australia.

Beyond parody at this point. They already eroded their free speech laws to protect Israel. Next: mandatory voting for Israel in song competitions.

[Ronni🧂Salt-WhoWroteGunnawahYeahThatOne @RonniSalt]

@barbecuarea @RupertsConscie1 @SenSHenderson None of it has anything to do with anybody in that room. SBS simply broadcast the event

She may as well have grilled them over the inclusion of 6 wild goats in the Olive Harvests of Lithuania documentary

ABC Chair Kim Wiliams:

“Audiences (at @abcnews) are down across the board, and that is something we need to address."

I have a suggestion for Kim, maybe get rid of the LNP fan club: Speers, Karvelas and Jennett for a start. Who agrees?

What's your suggestions for the Chair?

[Tiago Guilherme @tiagoguilhermef]

Uma das coisas mais perturbadoras sobre os estupros no caso da Flotilha é que os sobreviventes estão tendo que tomar, por 28 dias, medicamentos para prevenir uma possível infecção pelo HIV em razão da violência praticada pelos soldados.

As mulheres, além disso, tiveram que tomar pílulas do dia seguinte e torcer para que fossem efetivas.

Isso mostra que a violência de Israel não termina quando os sequestrados são libertados. Ela continua no corpo, no medo, na espera por exames, nos efeitos colaterais dos medicamentos, na angústia de quem ainda precisa lidar com as consequências de uma agressão cometida sob custódia de um Estado.

A libertação não apaga a tortura. Não apaga a violência sexual. Não apaga o trauma produzido por um sequestro ilegal e por práticas que deveriam ser tratadas como crimes internacionais.

As violências de Israel continuam acontecendo e produzindo efeitos físicos, psicológicos, políticos e humanos muito depois do fim do sequestro.
