Was @JacintaAllanMP actually going to tell anyone about this? Or would she prefer it swept under the rug because she knows we all hate Israel.

[Abier @abierkhatib]

Israel destroyed every hospital in Gaza and Lebanon, killed doctors, nurses, paramedics, patients, even babies and the Victorian Premier is totally fine with it and decided to reward Israel anyway.

Disgusting

Hey Tony "no-one left behind (except you)" Albanese @AlboMP ,
How do people with no address or stable housing maintain a job?
How do people who can barely afford food, rent, or transport go to tafe?
How can you be so Tony deaf... (credit to my partner for that zinger)

[jeremy poxon @JeremyPoxon]

Albanese is asked why nothing in budget goes to the poorest Australians

"If the budget's in better shape next year, will you look at raising JobSeeker?"

Albanese: What we want to do is "make sure people can get into a job. That's how you lift people out of poverty"

[Antipoverty Centre @antipovertycent]

Scott Morrison said “the best form of welfare is a job” and now Albanese matches it.

[David Milner @DaveMilbo]

If you spent the Morrison years furious at his secrecy, at his obedience to the corporate death cult, and at his fawning to American ruling class power, but you're not bothered by the identical caricteristics in Albanese, you're not into politics, you're into team sports

[Ronni🧂Salt-WhoWroteGunnawahYeahThatOne @RonniSalt]

Spot the difference.

Here's a handy checklist:

- in the pockets of fossil fuel billionaires
- not doing enough to reduce emissions
- doing the bidding of political donors
- spineless coward
- prepared to sell his own soul to keep himself in office

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

The PM and other major party politicians are getting their figures from the gas industry rather than the ATO and Treasury 🤯
Whose side are they on?
When you try and interrogate these figures from the gas lobby you get “PAGE NOT FOUND”.
You cannot make this stuff up!
Head to https://t.co/dcjuwV2f9S to get involved.
The only way we win this is if the major parties know they will continue to lose votes at the next election if they don't put Australians first.

@AlboMP At first glance, I thought this was an LNP photo op..

[Requiem Envoy @requiem_envoy]

I'd say I'm shocked but I'm more tired; tired of hearing about the Aust govt supporting the US war mongering shit. Luckily, I'm also an insomniac.

[David Shoebridge @DavidShoebridge]

A senior US military officer is holding private briefings in Canberra, saying Australia’s geography is “an ideal operating base for any future Indo-Pacific conflicts.” The US is working with Labor, One Nation and the Liberals to bring their next war here https://t.co/MpUyQgsGCO

[Scott Ludlam @Scottludlam]

last week richard marles announced an additional $53 billion in military spending for weapons of death and obsolete nuclear submarines.

"Australia is not a sovereign state that happens to have a mining sector. It is a private sector extraction platform that happens to have citizens.

Australia is not mismanaged. Australia is managed perfectly, just not for Australians."

[Requiem Envoy @requiem_envoy]

@DavidShoebridge Apparently we think alike, Mr. Shoebridge😂

[Requiem Envoy @requiem_envoy]

Our PM doesn't hold a hose, he holds a Who's War is it Anyway? Not mine 🤷

[Caitlin Johnstone @caitoz]

Australia looks likely to suffer from the Iran war more than any western nation. Let the record show that our asshole prime minister fell all over himself in a mad rush to be the first leader in the imperial core to applaud Trump's war crimes.

[Meidas_Charise Lee @charise_lee]

His anger & frustration is legit‼️

[Requiem Envoy @requiem_envoy]

@DavidShoebridge "We aren't like the Howard government, we didn't join some US-led 'war'; and we don't send asylum seekers to an offshore detention facility, we tell them to go lie in their death beds." - Labor

[Requiem Envoy @requiem_envoy]

@maximumwelfare Hmmm, just a moment... [plugs in guitar, amp on, gain up]

BOOTS ON THE GROUND!
BOOTS IN THE AIR!
BOOTS UNDER WATER, WE DON'T FUCKING CARE!
IT'S A WAR CRIME, BED TIME!
IT'S A WAR CRIME, BED TIME!
IT'S A WAR CRIME, BED TIME!
THAT'S AN OOORDEEER!

[Requiem Envoy @requiem_envoy]

@MichaelWestBiz Agreed. Why is this not already part of the process?

[Requiem Envoy @requiem_envoy]

Can these Labor MPs fucking do something then? How many of them are sitting there quietly ashamed while Albo and Wong keep digging us deeper and deeper up a war criminal's arsehole

[Doug Cameron @DougCameron51]

Labor members are “quietly alarmed” as the cabinet supports megalomaniacs Trump and Netanyahu. They slaughter civilians, blow school children to pieces, ignore international law. and threaten world peace and Labor are mute.😳
Did Pat Conroy explain this sycophantic appeasement?

[Anthony Khallouf @ausvstheagenda]

Greens Senator Nick McKim just lost his shit, calling President Donald Trump a “fascist war criminal” and saying Anthony Albanese should be embarrassed for tying Australia ‘to the hip’ with the US by entering the conflict with Iran.

[Mehdi (e/λ) @BetterCallMedhi]

what you're looking at is a fuel depot burning in the middle of a megacity of 9 m people & nobody is talking about what this smoke actually contains

when refined petroleum burns at this scale it releases a cocktail of particulate matter, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, benzene, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, heavy metals & volatile organic compounds, these particles are small enough to bypass bypass your lungs entirely and enter your bloodstream directly…

we're talking PM2.5 concentrations that can spike to 50 to 100 times safe levels within a 20km radiu

right now in tehran people are breathing this in, eyes burning, throats closing, children coughing, asthmatics flooding emergency rooms & outside acid rain is falling on the water supply, the soil, the crops…everything that sustains daily life in a city of 9m

but the real damage comes later, years later, elevated cancer rates, leukemia clusters, respiratory disease, cardiovascular failure, neurological damage, reproductive issue

this is what happened after the Kuwait oil fires in 1991, after the mosul refinery burns in 2016, after every single conflict where fuel infrastructure was deliberately targeted, the medical literature on this is extensive & devastating

deliberately bombing fuel infrastructure insidde a civilian megacity knowing full well what the toxic fallout does to the population over decades is chemical warfare without the label, you achieve the same mass casualty outcome over a longer timeline and somehow it stays legal because the weapon is fire instead of sarin

these people are being sentenced to cancers they will develop in 2035 by bombs dropped in 2026 & they call it liberation
