This family is living through the worst kinds of poverty and hunger and is in desperate need of financial support. Their tent is completely worn out, and their living conditions are heartbreaking and unbearable.

Mohammed supports his children, his elderly mother who is 85 years old and unable to care for herself, and his sister. They are all struggling under extremely difficult circumstances and facing a severe shortage of food and basic necessities.

Please help them. Every donation, no matter how small, can make a real difference in their lives and ease some of their suffering.

Please donate and share this campaign. 🙏💔

Laws to strip women of abortion rights in SA were defeated last night, due to the tireless work of advocates fighting to protect access to healthcare.

But it was shameful to see Labor Premier Malinauskas vote alongside right-wing MPs to trample abortion access.

I$rael is leaving bombs disguised as footballs in many towns and villages across southern Lebanon, as documented here in Douier. This isn't the first time bombs have been disguised as children's toys by the I$raeli's. Locals are being advised to remain diligent and not touch or move any suspicious looking objects

The Israeli embassy in Australia has claimed sexual assault allegations by Australian members on a humanitarian flotilla attempting to bring aid to Gaza are part of a “coordinated international smear campaign against Israel” more to do with “political point scoring than genuine humanitarian concern”.

[Nassim Nicholas Taleb @nntaleb]

Today in Haaretz there is an article accusing Israel of being a terrorist state (plus committing crimes against humanity). It was not written by a Marxist member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
It was written by former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert.

"Starting to attack whether or not women should get paid maternity leave starts leading to 'women should be in the home'...

"Which I'm not sure is necessarily a choice that a lot of women care to make, or could necessarily even afford to make."

Movements don't grow by accident. They grow because people choose to be part of them.

Becoming an APAN member is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen the movement for Palestinian rights in Australia.

As a Palestinian Human Rights Lawyer, Diana Buttu reminds us that the struggle for justice needs all of us.
Join us. Stand with Palestine. Help build the pressure needed for change.

So now the Press Club is having the Federal Police investigate GetUp for the drop-down banner at Pauline's press lunch. Ah, the Press Club...
More than a quarter of the National Press Club’s sponsors are part of the global arms industry or working on its behalf.
The National Press Club of Australia lists 81 corporate sponsors on its website.

A uni scholar has raised serious concerns over the legitimacy of the IHRA Definition & an Australian judge has ruled against it.
Increasingly, since Oct 4, right-wing Zionists have been lobbying hard, worldwide, for this to be the definition of antisemitism.
They are incorrectly trying to manipulate any criticism of the State of Israel, eg the #GazaGenocide, the land grabs in the West Bank and now Lebanon, into a form of antisemitism.
This is inherently misleading, as antisemitism just like racism, is a form of hatred against race &/or religion.
Democratic countries have free speech and citizens are permitted to criticize a genocide that our country has signed TO TAKE ACTION AGAINST.
So on this premise, I put to @AustralianLabor that Jilian Segal IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE.

Today it's been confirmed: there will be a major overhaul of the parliamentary pass system. This will finally bring more transparency to who gets privileged access to the people's house, and who let them in.

A huge win for the community and crossbench advocacy that pushed for lobbying reform. But the job isn't done. We still need in-house and third-party rules aligned, the revolving door between government and industry closed and ministerial diaries published.
