Please don’t keep sharing Katie Hopkins apology, it’s probably a bit embarrassing for her🙏

Going to see Circa Duckpond tonight and there's a comment in the program that the footage of swan fight is used with the kind permission of Carl Bovis. Would that be your work @CarlBovisNature?

All hate speech should be banned. Not just particular types of hate speech. Same goes for extremism and foreign interference.

This is APPALLING

The Albanese govt has now cut more jobs from CSIRO than the Abbot govt 🤯

We need these scientists & researchers just as much as we need the steelworkers at Whyalla or aluminium at Tomago.

Time to pull out the cheque book here too.

Smart countries don’t cut funding to their world-leading science and technology research organisations.

The Albanese government has to step up and provide adequate support for research and development in Australia - it has to invest in our future. https://t.co/8QEKEE17Tl

With huge thanks to star of The Room Next Door and Mandy, satirist and actor, @MrMichaelSpicer for supporting our campaign.

This is a MUST watch and a MUST share.

What is this government doing?

Adopted and Kinship children deserve so much better.

@Lisa9Sophia Just like Ley 100% knew what VW meant.
She intentionally drove an antisemitic car knowing full well that she'd offend Holocaust survivors and provoke the Jewish community.
Disgusting. Her role as Leader of the Opposition is unsustainable.

@TimWilsonMP @VictorianLabor This is just pathetic @TimWilsonMP

No wonder Libs are in political wilderness.

For goodness sake, show some leadership & start adding value to #Goldstein instead of trying to smear others.

What exactly have you delivered for our community since being back in office?

My colleagues & I have taken a huge gamble to set up @thenerve_news. We’re trying to build a new independent publication from the ground up. Social media is our only distribution for now.

Sharing this article in your networks would make a huge difference. Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏

I write as former Head of Maritime Section of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
and Alternate Head of UK Delegation to the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea Prepcom.

1) The flotilla is on the High Seas and not in Israel's 12 mile territorial sea. Israel has no jurisdiction.

2) The Israeli maritime blockade has been in place for 17 years and is an intrinsic part of the long term occupation found illegal in the ICJ advisory opinion

3) It is therefore not a short term measure in time of armed conflict as specified in the San Remo manual

4) In any event the San Remo rules explicitly state that humanitarian supplies may not be blockaded

5) The UN Commission of Inquiry has already determined that Israel is committing genocide. The blockade is plainly a part of the machinery of such genocide.

For reasons 1 to 5 the Israeli attack on the flotilla is plainly illegal.

6) On the High Seas, the law applying on each ship is the law of its flag state. An attack by a state military warship on a vessel on the High Seas is an attack on the flag state of the vessel attacked.

7) Acts of illegal possession of vessels or abduction of crew on the High Seas should be pursued by each flag state as crimes within their domestic jurisdiction, not only in international law.

8) So the Metropolitan Police and DPP have an obligation to investigate and act over the abduction of persons from UK flagged vessels on the High Seas.
This applies to each flag state mutatis mutandi.

I hope you find this helpful.

Sack Segal

we are now facing the prospect of a national database labelling individuals as antisemitic, not for inciting hatred or violence, but for expressing dissenting political views. But this isn’t policy, it’s a Kafkaesque nightmare.

Amelia Hamer lied that she was a struggling renter whilst owning millions in property in London and Canberra.

Shes been a politician for 5 minutes and has already lied to you. Why would you vote for her #auspol

Outside the ABC, a vigil mourns the murders of more than 200 journalists in Gaza, the stories of their final moments told in a way an ABC broadcast never could. A security guard and someone from the MSO expressed solidarity. Journos leaving just tried to avoid eye contact.

[David Keen @KeenyDhk]

Look.
Seriously.
All things considered.
After 3 years of a Labor government, I am personally better off now than I was at any time under the 9 previous years of the LNP government.

Here's the half-baked tender (that only closed 5 weeks ago) for age recognition technology for the social media ban.

If this doesn't scare every last shiver out of you, I don't know what will. Big Brother's got nothing on this.

This affects every Australian.
