And the SCAM continues! We have the most expensive gas in the world... Yet export the most. You really can't make this stuff up... Because the captured polieshave already rigged the rules in favour of their gas mates and against we the punters! #australia#auspol
In 2008 I moved from Berlin to Melbourne. At the time both cities had the same population but Melbourne was seven times larger. Urban sprawl in action. When Aussies wonder why maintaining our road, rail, power, and sewage infrastructure is so expensive I show them this map...
Why is the Australian Government being so secretive about its defence industry cooperation with Israel?
And why does the Israeli Government have veto power over the information that is (or isn’t) made available to the Australian public?

We truly are a stupid country. We receive fuck all tax revenue from this massive industry, can’t even get cheap supply of the abundant resource for ourselves and now have to start importing it from other countries.
The disgusting dog whistling over visas for Palestinian people and 'on the ground checks' is not only based in Islamophobia, it completely ignores that because of the regime imposed by Israel, Palestinians are among the most scrutinised people on earth.
After my Senate questioning, Minister Wong has been forced to admit what we knew all along; Labor suspended #UNRWA funding based on allegations & without all the facts.
One must wonder is this a case of poor judgement or is Minister Wong happy to take just the word of Israel? 🧵
APAN strongly condemns the Aust Govt decision to pause funding to UNRWA, and urges it to immediately change course and reinstate this funding as part of its obligation to prevent genocide in Gaza.

Does this mean all ABC employees can’t share info from @hrw?
What if it’s about the treatment of Uyghurs in China or protestors in Iran?
Does this rule exist exclusively for findings that are critical of Israel?
Did this directive apply only to @antoinette_news and why?
The 6 former PMs, including (and especially) the current Australian ambassador to the US, should be embarrassed to their core that they signed that letter.
The Australian government must back the case against Israel before the ICJ to ensure accountability under international law and the genocide convention.
🧵
So many journos in Australia are banned from writing about Palestine because they dared to sign a letter calling for more ethical journalistic standards, while open Zionists and journos who went on paid propaganda junkets to Israel “report” on it without issue.
So here we have a pro-israel Attorney General publicly questioning whether 2 Australians killed by israel in Lebanon, not Gaza, had links to terrorism.
So now israeli interests have become more important than Australian lives.

Shame on @ItaButtrose & @abcsydney on the dangerous and disgraceful sacking of @antoinette_news. The Zionists and reactionaries high-fiving the ABC's unbridled McCarthyism are a greater threat to the public sphere than they ever have been before. Reinstate her now.
The staggering war crimes Israel commits daily are so horrific, so constant that one can quickly become numb to the horror of it. Do not allow that. This sick slaughter is funded and enabled by Western governments. How do you feel about Australia’s “friend” now @SenatorWong
