Now that Gaza lies in ruins—shattered, like a beloved face after a long brutality—Israel moves with a terrible confidence to the next act: The act of leaving every soul there not merely wounded, but permanently disabled. Injured, sick, hungry, homeless, without work, without hope. This is not war’s collateral damage. This is design.
As my friend Gideon Levy writes—and he knows, he knows—this is the prelude to expulsion. Think of it: a society without teachers, without doctors, without social workers, without engineers, without clerks. That is not a society. That is a holding pen. A slow erasure. And when nothing functions—no school, no hospital, no office, no heart—then it becomes ‘easy,’ they tell themselves, to scatter the people to the four corners of the earth. Like seeds from a broken pod, except no soil will take them.
We must name this. Not with rage alone, though rage is honest. But with the cold, clear tears of recognition: they are making life impossible so that departure becomes the only ‘choice.’ And the world watches, adjusts its spectacles, and calls for restraint. Restraint! There is no restraint in a slow drowning.
Shoebridge:
"Why did you not declare your conflict of interest forms?"
Jillian Segal:
"Well, um, um, I, I, because I dont believe they're called 'conflict of interest forms'."
Shoebridge:
"Did you support the refusal in having this disclosed?"
Segal: "Yes"

Santos, the company that deliberately caused the east coast gas crisis to gouge Australians for $ billions, leaks oil and gas leaks all over the place and hasn’t paid corporate tax for a decade..
… what could possibly go wrong!?!

Australia is a low tax country
Lower than the OECD average
Lower than New Zealand
Lower than the UK
Lower than Japan
Lower than France
Lower than Canada
Lower than LUXEMBOURG!!!
If you want to move to Costa Rica or Mexico for lower taxes ok but Switzerland & Korea won’t have you
Andrew Bragg caught out lying on ABC about migration levels
Bragg “We have high migration”
PK “migration’s gone down right?”
Bragg “not compared to what they inherited. It’s gone up”
PK “Ahhh no. In fact they inherited a COVID era, & it was just starting to ratchet up”💥 #auspol
It is inappropriate to have arms manufacturers associated in any way with the Australian War Memorial. The AWM is about honouring the ultimate sacrifice of Australian men and women in war. War should in no way be mythologised by arms displays or sponsors’ branding.
I can criticise
The King
UK govt
US govt
Any MP
Capitalism
Religions
UK army
Security Services
I can criticise
ANY foreign country EXCEPT if I criticise Israel ALONE, I risk serious personal consequences EVEN though Israel is carrying out terrible crimes including GENOCIDE
Australia's 178 billionaires are $25.7bn richer than last year as 3.7 million live in poverty.
But if you believe NewsCorpse a modest pay rise for low income earners will kill us all.
Jewish convert @charliepick gave an interview to convicted wife beater Avi Yemeni, criticising his employer the ABC for airing a podcast about autism hosted by Grace Tame because she is anti genocide & supports Palestinians.
Pickering shouldn't be airing his pro Israel pro genocide
political views whilst wearing his ABC hat, amirite? Isn't that why they went after Latouff?
Also, it appears Pickering objects to anyone discussing anything unless they first pass his Zionist purity test - you can't talk about autism (or anything else) if you criticise Israel. Let that sink in.
The LNP and One Nation backed by Murdoch do not want workers to have higher wages.
Only Karl Stefanovic, Natalie Barr, all of Sky after Dark and company executives.
Their huge salaries don’t affect inflation!
Truth bombs incoming. 💣🔥💣🔥💣🔥
The Australian’s Editor at Large Paul Kelly argues that Pauline Hanson is completely unequipped to be Prime Minister, urging voters to use common sense and look closely at her political limitations.

Remember Tony Abbott, the ex-PM who didn’t see out that single term as a PM? The same Abbott who presided over a budget that introduced severe cuts to healthcare and education. Who cemented his ridiculousness by awarding a knighthood to a prince. The onion-eating, budgie-smuggling, licky lipped smirker whose misogyny was only surpassed by a predilection for sleeze? The Abbott who supported a pedo priest and was led around Parliament House by the nose by a petty cretin whose questionable conduct enraged and undermined not only many parliamentary staff, but his ministers and anybody who upset his harridan’s status quo?…
The same ex-PM who sat on the back benches seething for months continuing to undermine the PM’ship of his successor until he lost his seat of Warringah to Zali Steggall in 2019.
He never got over it, you know. The indignity of losing his power, his position, his political aspiration and his ability to manipulate and control the narrative of an entire country.
So he’s been working on taking it back for years. Like a dog with a rancid bone - he’s worked those right-wing circles like a hard-right republican on a mission. He’s manipulated the Liberal party for years - aided and abetted by RW media throughout his stint in the UK as an “unpaid” trade advisor and member of the UK Board of Trade in 2020 appointed by his good friend, Boris Johnson.
Abbott continued his relationship with Murdoch media when he was elected as a director of Fox Corporation in 2023. He was personally nominated to the board by Lachlan Murdoch.
.. and on the board he remains.. even as he has been elected as the Liberal Party president - unopposed - in May 2026.
Like a charred phoenix rising from the malodorous ashes - Tony Abbott sees himself as the second coming for the Liberal party, the egocentric messiah of malignancy to the rescue of a maligned and fast disintegrating party that have ironically been the victim of their right-wing Sky News echo chamber, the same echo chamber that their new illustrious leader has been representing as Director of Fox for a good proportion of their capitulation into the chasm of chaos.
For Abbott to remain a director of Fox Corporation AND be president of the Liberal Party should create a conflict of interest. It should be raising eyebrows and ringing alarm bells in every news source in the country.
The fact that it is NOT - and it is business as usual for not only the Liberals, News Corp and their various sycophants - is an indication of the real undermining of truthful journalism and trustworthy news sources in this country.
When is it time to admit that the majority of media resources in this country and their so-called journalism is nothing more than a propagandic outlet for right-wing views and right-wing control of the narrative?
Right-wing politics and the media ARE intertwined. They are interchangeable. The bipartisan media is in its entirety a right-wing megaphone - that is geared towards drowning out the truth, the facts, the science and the data to the point where the loudest voice in the room and the most influential and manipulative opinion IS the right-wing opinion.
Chew on that fact, fckrs.
Sorry Pauline … I want people in Aussie parliaments, especially federal parliament, to put the interests of Australia and Australians first…
For the record: Israel isn’t Australia‼️
NB: can you ask your Israeli mates to stop destroying/desecrating Aussie war graves in Gaza‼️
The barefoot investor thinks that the budget changes don’t impact the VAST majority of people’s current savings & investment plans
As for those it does? They’ll be fine
