In 1998, when Hanson was launching her concentrated campaign of racism, four ex-prime ministers - Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke and Keating - issued an open letter to the nation. They weren’t being dramatic. They were warning us.

There must be justice. The world cannot ignore the Israeli genocide in Gaza and people who committed it must be held to account. Essential accountability and solidarity work from the Australian Centre for International Justice. @rawanarraf
congratulations punters! for 3 months you'll get 1/2 the discount on fuel excise that gina gets every day!
(i support fuel excise exemptions for farmers & small-medium businesses, but any business claiming they *need* more than $50m in exemptions is having a lend of taxpayers.)
Cathy Wilcox does it again. Those bombs being dropped on children have components made in Australia. No wonder Herzog will use this visit to further brainwash Australian politicians about why genocide is ok. Not in my name @AlboMP@SenatorWong@RichardMarlesMP@AustralianLabor
BREAKING🚨 🇦🇺 it is now illegal in Australia to say Israel is committing a genocide. That’s what the anti-semitism laws are all about, they have to create laws to suppress truth.
@adelwritersweek Absolutely pathetic, racist, and cowardly move arbitrarily punishing a Palestinian woman for no good reason and needlessly associating her with an unrelated event. This isn’t social cohesion - it’s racial vilification and an extension of the Israeli apartheid. Shame on you

Women Who Win. I’ve been writing this book since December. Yes the title was chosen then and would remain unchanged irrespective of Federal court verdict.

I feel physically ill. How are images of journalists being burned alive not top story on every newssite? This is after we watched the execution of paramedics. How many more war crimes do we need to witness? Or have we accepted our institutions & their so-called values are a lie?
We’ve been truely thick… unable to understand the obvious. but it’s dawning on me. so let me explain:
They dont have to be careful what they do, who they kill or what they destroy,
but we have to be very very careful what we say about it.
we live in societies that care more

My father said that some authors make the words dance, and when you find one, make sure you dance with them. My father would have loved this book
