Had lunch w 64 year old friend yesterday
she's still working, as a cleaner
its extremely painful, the doctors have just told her she's full of arthritis
but of course she can't get the pension for another 3 years
she doesn't think she will last that long.
67 IS TOO OLD
Despite the millions and millions spent buying up politicians and the media, Israel is the most hated state in the world. Use your voice to keep calling it out before they use the law to silence us completely. Well said. @kennardmatt
@IanGill82421393 Unions are run by ambitious Labor aparatchiks and are compliant w corporate, Labor-machine policy.
In other words, Right wing unions. This was always a thing in the US but i never thought i’d see it in Australia. My own union executive got ambushed and taken over by Labor.
🥂Congratulations @MaryKostakidis on winning the 2026 Gary Webb Freedom of the Press Award presented by Consortium News at a ceremony in Sydney on Sunday. Previous winners were Oliver Stone, Julian Assange and John Pilger.
@TimLooker Israel is a rogue terrorist state and Zionism is a terrorist ideology.
If that can’t be admitted (and acted upon), all else is propaganda theatre
@DougCameron51@LindaBr40292791 I hope the inquiry investigates all of the current and former politicians who have financial interests in AUKUS and publishes their names. A list of all politicians with financial interests in armaments manufacturers wouldn't go astray either. Defence spending is a CASH COW.
Just saw a TikTok where a Northern Irish woman was talking about the DV crisis over there that’s causing justifiable concern & national furore.
30 women killed by their partners in 6 years.
In Australia we’ve had almost that many in 6 MONTHS.
… and still, our gov is silent.
@BarbaraPocock It needs to start where it went wrong.
We need state owned banks again.
We need banking returned as a service, not a wealth creation industry as created by Keating.
What a complete waste of time, @AlboMP.
You need to—
SANCTION ISRAEL
IMPOSE A TOTAL ARMS EMBARO
SUSPEND ALL TRADE AGREEMENTS UNTIL THE END OF THE GENOCIDE, OCCUPATION AND APARTHEID
INVESTIGATE AND PROSECUTE INDIVIDUIALS AND ORGS THAT HAVE COMMITTED CRIMES IN THE oPt
GET ON IT!
The Chinese strike me as intelligent, considered and sensible.
Why are we constantly told we must fear them but love the terrorist, murderous, anti humane and anti democratic states of Israel and the USA?
@PeterCronau@DaveMilbo We really need to expose and consider our enormous appetite for profiting from the manufacture of weapons here.
It is a vile industry. But enormously profitable. I recall when South Australia was not doing well - industries leaving/closing. Then Pyne got on the weapons bandwagon!
CRITICAL THINKING IS ONE OF THE MOST VALUABLE HUMAN ATTRIBUTES!
Trying to stop it implies ignorance of the outcomes, an intellectually backward society and, ultimately, chaos.
People are not criticising Israel for no reason. They're criticising Israel because it is committing shocking crimes against humanity.
So the reality of #AUKUS gets even worse!
Australia and the UK are being embedded in the Us/Israel military now!! (like we didn’t see that was coming)
Australian needs to stop voting for the architects of this nightmare military pack, with dangerous rogue states.
@DropSiteNews@jeremyscahill All nations must enact their obligations under International Law to stop the ethnic cleansing of Gaza.
Complicity by Australia’s Govt @AlboMP must end immediately & sanctions must be applied.
There’s no tolerance for a silent FM @SenatorWong in the face of genocide.
