The footage of Palestinians burning alive. The extermination Israel is carrying out in Gaza & Lebanon. The footage of Israeli massacres in northern Gaza.

Labor has seen this all. Yet still no sanctions. No end to arms trade with Israel.

This is complicity in genocide.

This is poetry and if you don't agree I don't care

Solidarity with Lidia Thorpe today, having the courage to confront the King with the truth & history of Britain’s colonisation & its legacy.

She is right - we need a Treaty in this country.

This is not the King’s land.

This always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

The Prime Minister enjoyed free university. Purchased an affordable home. Was able to grow up in public housing cos government built way more public housing.

Again. People aren't angry about that.

They are angry he is denying millions that same opportunity today.

Sha’ban Ahmed. 19 years old. Burnt alive with his mother by an Israeli airstrike on the tent he was displaced in beside Al Aqsa martyr’s hospital last night. The IV drip still in his arm after recovering from an airstrike on a mosque he was sheltering in nearby just last week.
