@cultvgnews @RestoreAussies No, its because the kimono is part of Japanese culture. The burqa on the other hand has replaced culture, it does not represent culture.

Must check my own TV...🤔

[Nav Toor @heynavtoor]

Your smart TV is taking screenshots of your screen every 15 seconds.

Not a guess. Not a theory.

A peer-reviewed study by researchers at UC Davis, UCL, and UC3M tested it.

Samsung TVs: every minute.
LG TVs: every 15 seconds.

Even when you're just using it as a monitor.

Here's how to turn it off for every brand:

Simple yet effective approach. Can we make this policy #PaulineHansonOZ

The same way it has played out overseas.

[Jack The Aussie @hammerofleft]

Listen up. Because what’s coming next is predictable as clockwork.

One Nation is surging. The polls are at record highs. The major parties are bleeding support. And when political machines start losing control, they don’t look in the mirror, they attack.

So here’s what you’re going to see. And when you see it, I want you to recognise it for exactly what it is.

They will dig up old quotes from 10, 15, 20 years ago and run them on loop like they were said yesterday. They will take one sentence out of a ten minute interview and build an entire news cycle around it. They will find one candidate in one seat who said something stupid on Facebook in 2014 and make it the front page.

They will call One Nation voters racist, Uneducated, Dangerous. They’ll say you’ve been radicalised. That you’re being manipulated. That you don’t know what’s good for you. They’ll wheel out commentators and academics to explain why you’re wrong for being angry about not being able to afford your own rent.

They will use preferences as a weapon. They’ll guilt-trip any party that preferences One Nation. They’ll run scare campaigns in every marginal seat. They’ll spend millions on ads designed not to promote their own policies but to tear down anyone who threatens their grip on power.

They will make small matters into national scandals. A misquote becomes a crisis. A policy disagreement becomes extremism. A candidate’s personal history becomes a character assassination. Meanwhile the actual issues such as housing, cost of living, immigration, the stuff that’s crushing families won’t get a fraction of the airtime.

This is the playbook. It’s been the playbook for 30 years. They did it to Pauline in the 90s. They did it to every minor party and independent that’s ever threatened the two-party system. And they’ll do it again.

Why? Because they’ve got nothing else. They can’t run on their record because their record is the mess we’re living in. They can’t promise change because they are the system that created the problem. So they attack. Distract. Divide. Smear. And hope you stop paying attention.

But here’s the difference this time. People aren’t falling for it anymore.

When you see the hit pieces and you will, ask yourself one question. Who benefits from you not voting for the party that’s threatening the establishment?

When you see the scare campaigns, and they’re coming, ask yourself why they’re spending more energy attacking One Nation than fixing the housing crisis.

When you see them turn a molehill into a mountain, call it out. Publicly. Loudly. Because sunlight is the best disinfectant and the only thing these machines fear more than losing votes is being exposed for how they operate.

They want you distracted, divided and doubting your own judgment. Don’t let them.

Do your research. Think for yourself. Vote for whoever earns it. And when the attacks start and they will, remember this post

The playbook only works if you let it.

What’s your thoughts…?

So beautifully written.

[Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD @houmanhemmati]

🇮🇷 Yesterday I posted from the deepest place in my heart — the same window in Tehran where a terrified three-year-old boy once stood smelling burning tires in 1979.
I prayed for the Israeli and American warriors. I said the regime that gouges eyes, hangs teenagers, cheers October 7, and murders its own people simply needs to go. I said the fever of 1979 was breaking and that the dawn of 2026 was here.

Today I woke up to a world without Ali Khamenei.

One of the men who stole my childhood, who turned Iran into a prison of fear and darkness, is gone. The head of the snake has been cut off. Over forty top regime figures — gone in a single night of precise, righteous justice. The IRGC’s palaces are burning. Their aura of terror is dust. The same eyes that once stared at us with absolute power are now wide with panic.

And still — I do not celebrate death. I celebrate life.

I celebrate the possibility that my ancestral people, the real Iran, can finally breathe.

To every Israeli pilot and American service member still in the skies or on the ground:
Thank you does not feel big enough.
I am on my knees today praying for you again — that every one of you returns home safely to the families waiting with open arms. You did not come as conquerors. You came as liberators. You answered the silent prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” since the day they took my country. History will remember your courage as the moment the region began to heal.

To my brothers and sisters inside Iran right now — hiding phones under pillows, hearts racing with every explosion, risking everything just to read these words:
Hold on. The end is not coming. The end is here.

The regime is leaderless, fractured, and suffocating. They know the math has changed forever. The little boy who stood in that window with fear is speaking to the little boys and girls hearing those same sounds tonight in Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz:

This time the explosions are not closing the window.

They are flinging it wide open.

You will not grow up under black flags and morality police.

You will grow up with music, laughter, makeup if you want it, books and Internet that are not censored, and a future that belongs to YOU — not to some 7th-century ideology that hijacked our 2,500-year civilization.

I have lived the stolen life so you would not have to.

Today I feel your hope crashing over me like a wave. The diaspora is roaring. Israelis are standing with us. Americans are standing with us. The free world is watching and cheering.

The road ahead will have bumps. Transitions always do. But the direction is unmistakable: a secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream whispered in basements. It is becoming the new reality on the streets.

The fever is not just breaking.
The fever has broken.
And the patient — Iran herself — is waking up.

Thank you, Israel.
Thank you, America.
The real Iran will never, ever forget what you did for us.

To the new three-year-old at the window in Tehran tonight:

Close your eyes, little one.
When you open them again, the explosions and smoke will be gone.
You will hear birds. You will hear music.
You will hear freedom.

The dawn of 2026 is not coming.
It is here.

And this time, the light wins.

With tears of joy heavier than any fear I have ever known.

The Iranian people’s voice is finally louder than the regime’s lies.

Let’s keep it that way.

"My fellow compatriots,

Ali Khamenei, the bloodthirsty Zahhak of our time, the killer of tens of thousands of Iran’s bravest sons and daughters, has been erased from the pages of history. With his death, the Islamic Republic has effectively come to an end and will soon be consigned to the dustbin of history.

Any attempt by the remnants of the regime to appoint a successor to Khamenei is doomed to failure from the outset. Whoever they place in his stead will have neither legitimacy nor survival; and without doubt, they will also be complicit in the crimes of this regime.

To the military, security, and police forces: Any effort to prop up a collapsing regime is condemned to defeat. This is your last chance to join the people; to help ensure Iran’s stable transition to a free and prosperous future; and to have a share in building that future. The death of the criminal Khamenei, while it cannot bring back the spilled blood, can serve as a balm for the scorched hearts of the grieving families; the fathers and mothers, spouses and children in mourning; and the families of the selfless martyrs of Iran’s Lion and Sun National Revolution.

Noble and brave people of Iran,

This marks the beginning of our great national celebration; but it is not the end of the road. Stay vigilant and prepared. The time for a massive and decisive presence in the streets is very near. Together, united and steadfast, we will secure the final victory, and we will celebrate Iran’s freedom across our Ahura-created homeland.

Long live Iran,
Reza Pahlavi"

It happened.

Javid Shah.
Long Live Iran.

Interesting take on the last few hours.

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

Twenty-four hours ago there were seven countries in this conflict. Now there are twelve. By Monday there will be more.

Here is the full picture no single news feed is giving you.

Israel struck Tehran, Isfahan, Qom, Karaj, Kermanshah, Tabriz, and Lorestan in a single coordinated operation timed to the moment Iran’s senior leadership gathered in one room. Daylight strikes at 8:15 a.m. because the target was not infrastructure. The target was a meeting. Months of intelligence. One window. The first Israeli strike in history designed not to destroy a program but to decapitate a government.

Iran answered by firing missiles at every American installation it could reach. Bahrain’s Fifth Fleet headquarters. Al Dhafra in the UAE. Al Udeid in Qatar. Ali Al Salem in Kuwait. Jordan shot down two ballistic missiles over its own territory. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from debris. Every Gulf defense system activated simultaneously for the first time. Most intercepts succeeded. Iran demonstrated range. It failed to demonstrate precision.

And then the dominoes fell.

Saudi Arabia, which four weeks ago personally promised Tehran it would never allow its territory to be used against Iran, released a statement pledging “all its capabilities” to support every attacked nation in “all measures they take.” Dubai shut down both international airports indefinitely. 280 flights canceled. Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Air India, Lufthansa, British Airways grounded or rerouting. The busiest international aviation hub on earth went dark because Iranian missiles were crossing its airspace.

Now watch what is moving in the shadows. Russia signed a 500-unit Verba MANPADS deal with Iran in December. China is finalizing CM-302 anti-ship missiles for the IRGC navy. Joint Russia-China-Iran naval drills ran through the Strait of Hormuz eleven days ago. But when the strikes landed, Moscow issued a statement. Beijing issued a statement. Neither moved a ship, a plane, or a soldier.

Russia called it “unprovoked armed aggression.” China called it “extremely dangerous hegemonic bullying.” Then both sat on their hands while their ally absorbed precision strikes on its capital and fired missiles into six sovereign nations, building the very coalition Russia and China spent a decade trying to prevent.

Iran needed its allies to act. They wrote press releases.

This is the architecture of isolation. In 48 hours Iran went from a nation with diplomatic channels to Oman, trade ties to China, arms deals with Russia, and détente with Saudi Arabia to a nation that attacked its own mediators, exhausted its missiles against interceptors, and watched its partners choose words over weapons.

The regime that survived the June war. The regime that survived 32,000 protester deaths. The regime that survived economic collapse. That regime now faces precision strikes, a six-nation coalition, closed airspace, frozen diplomacy, and allies who condemn on television what they will not contest on the battlefield.

The war is 24 hours old. Iran is already alone. https://t.co/BrzGRrU3VW

Excellent news! Keep the momentum going #JavidShah

[Celine against The Machine @celinevmachine_]

CELINE-2 ESAFETY-0
MY RESPONSE.

It's been a crazy week. I just wanted to give my two cents on the aftermath of my Federal Court win, the media coverage and what we can do.

My case sets a precedent for what Australians can and can't see online. This case proves at the FEDERAL level that our online safety regulator routinely acts outside her legal powers, and I would like to see some actual change come out of this.

eSafety relies on what they call "informal notices" to get content removed online.
To put it simply, these are takedown notices dressed up as informal notices. Often sent to a social media company's legal team, they are an illegal tactic used by eSafety to pressure social media companies to remove content that they deem "harmful," even if it does not meet the requirements under the Online Safety Act.

My case definitively proves that eSafety staff knowingly send these informal notices when they are fully aware that the content does not meet the requirements to be censored.

That is why this case matters.

Share this video, and my case, far and wide to any and all politicians as this affects everyone regardless of whether you're left, right, middle, whatever.

Australia does not need to be censored by an unelected WEF puppet.

Cry me a river. You want to pray? Go into a mosque and do it, not the middle of a street.
The police weren't heavy handed; they used just the right amount of persuasion.

[Australian National Imams Council @ImamsCouncil]

The recent footage of Muslims praying in the city during the protest against the appalling visit of the Israeli President, being heavy-handedly pushed and forcibly moved by police while in prayer, is shocking, deeply disturbing, and entirely unacceptable.

Police are entrusted to protect the community, uphold public safety, and de-escalate tensions, not to interfere with religious worship or inflame an already sensitive situation.

ANIC is outraged by this footage and has raised urgent and serious concerns directly with the NSW Police Commissioner and relevant ministers. The NSW Government and Premier Chris Minns must take responsibility for this conduct and ensure accountability at the highest levels.

This treatment of worshippers is unacceptable in any circumstances. It undermines community trust, offends fundamental freedoms, and must be immediately investigated, rectified, and prevented from recurring.

ملت عزیز ایران، هم‌وطنان شجاعم،

شما در دو هفته گذشته بویژه در چهار روز اخیر با تظاهرات میلیونی، پایه‌های رژیم نامشروع جمهوری اسلامی را به لرزه در آورده‌اید. اینک، با اتکا به پاسخ میلیونی شما به فراخوان‌های روزهای گذشته، و با مشروعیت و مقبولیتی که از شما دریافت کرده‌ام، مرحله دیگری از خیزش ملی برای سرنگونی جمهوری اسلامی و باز‌پس‌گیری ایرانِ عزیز را اعلام می‌کنم.

۱. در داخل ایران، علاوه بر تسخیر و حفظ خیابان‌های مرکزی شهرها، تمام نهادها و دستگاه‌هایی که مسئول تبلیغات دروغین رژیم و قطع ارتباطات هستند، اهداف مشروع به حساب می‌آیند. کارکنان دستگاه‌های دولتی، و نیروهای مسلح و انتظامی فرصت دارند به مردم بپیوندند و یاور ملت باشند، یا اینکه هم‌دستی با قاتلان ملت را انتخاب کنند و ننگ و نفرین ابدی ملت را برای خود بخرند.

۲. در خارج از ایران، تمامی سفارت‌خانه‌ها و کنسولگری‌های ایران، متعلق به ملت ایران است، و زمان آن رسیده که به جای پرچم ننگین جمهوری اسلامی، با پرچم ملی ایران مزین شود.

ما در آستانه بازپس‌گیری ایران عزیز از جمهوری اسلامی هستیم. خامنه‌ای و رژیمش، چندین ضربه سنگین از شما خورده‌اند و نباید به آنها مهلت تنفس دوباره بدهیم. رژیم با کمبود جدی نیروی سرکوب روبرو است و افزایش تیراندازی به سوی مردم، نه از سرِ اقتدار، بلکه ناشی از کمبود مزدور، و ترس از فروپاشی و سقوط سریعتر است. ما اجازه نخواهیم داد که این جانیان، خون جوانان ما را بیش از این بر زمین بریزند. ما به آنها فرصت نخواهیم داد. ما به عقب باز نمی‌گردیم.

آزادی ایران نزدیک است. خون‌های به‌زمین‌ریخته‌شده‌ی فرزندان جاویدنام ایران، هدایتگر ما به سوی پیروزی است. ما تنها نیستیم. کمک‌های جهانی نیز به‌زودی می‌رسد. منتظر پیام‌های بعدی من باشید. ما به‌زودی ایران عزیز را از جمهوری اسلامی پس خواهیم گرفت و در همه جای ایران، جشن آزادی و پیروزی را برپا خواهیم کرد.

[Neil @neilaplatten]

Praying for the Iranian people 🙏
