One Nation has appointed a convicted rapist, Sean Black, as its campaign director ahead of the (2025) federal election.
A judge said Black showed no remorse for raping and assaulting his former wife when he was jailed in 2018.

It is blindingly clear the hate speech laws only apply to antisemitism.
Imagine if Pauline Hanson said there are no good Jews in Australia.
Where are the police why have they not acted?
This double standard is intolerable.
It’s interesting that Jane Hume & her colleagues act as though they have had nothing to do with the demise of the Liberal National Coalition. You cannot change what you do not acknowledge. Shifting the blame onto poor Sussan is only going to go against them even more. Accountability is key, and they refuse to take any. So voters will continue to keep them in the naughty corner.
It’s hard to believe a president would time an illegal military attack to distract the public’s attention, but today is the statutory deadline for DOJ to release its report on the Epstein file production. Maybe it is just a coincidence.
@philmupp1@MMCG200 Linking a classic Joy Division shirt to the Bondi tragedy is a massive reach. Albanese’s music taste is long standing and well known;. So trying to twist it into a scandal is just a transparent LNP beat up. It’s a distraction from real substance
If you believe as 'renowned' Murdoch Sky After Dark RW spruiker Sharri Markson believes that PM Albanese's Joy Division T shirt had anything to do with the Bondi event then methinks that you too may have spent too much time rolling in Dead Sea mud.
Our voices will not be silenced, even as calls for justice — including “from the river to the sea” — are censored.
This intifada is a demand for freedom and dignity, and the genocide against Palestinians must end, regardless of government inaction.

Intifada (انتفاضة) is an Arabic word that literally means “shaking off” or “uprising.”
In context, it refers to a popular uprising or mass resistance against oppression or occupation—especially used to describe Palestinian uprisings against Israeli military rule.
Importantly:
•The root meaning is to shake off injustice or control
•It does not inherently mean violence
•It includes civil resistance, protests, strikes, boycotts, and community organising, alongside confrontations
At its core, intifada means people rising up to reclaim dignity, rights, and freedom.

... as Israel razed Gaza, slaughtered and maimed tens of thousands of children and tortured and raped Palestinian hostages
An Israel-first monster

My friends in the Christian village of Beit Sahour, the Shepherd's Fields next to Bethlehem, where I Iived for some time writing From the Holy Mountain, are about to be colonised by radicalised and violent Israeli settlers, in defiance of International Law.
James Talarico: “The reason poverty exists is not because we can’t feed the poor, it’s because we can’t satisfy the rich. That’s exactly what we’re seeing with Elon Musk become the first trillionaire. This is a spiritual sickness. What leads a person to accumulate more money than they could possibly spend in a hundred lifetimes when we have people starving in this one?”
Free Palestine Melbourne activist and former Israeli combat officer Nachshon Amir addresses Monday’s Anti Zionism Australia rally.
This is what the Australian government should work towards: de-Zionisation of the space between the river and the sea, and (excuse me) de-Zionisation of Australia. And this will bring justice and liberation to Palestinians and to all people in Palestine, and, as a by-product, will also increase the safety of Jews around the world and in Australia.
@JonesHowDareYou Powerful speech by Slezak. Put him on the podium when talking about this subject. He’s a winner. Beat the Leiblers extremists hands down.
You congratulate the world with words while families are buried under the rubble.
You send “blessings” while churches are besieged, homes are bombed, and children are killed.
No greeting has value when it comes from hands stained with blood.
Peace is not spoken — peace is practiced, and you chose killing over humanity.
@IsraeliPM Israel's treatment of Palestinian Christians:
- Murder,
- Spitting,
- Destroying their churches,
- Stealing their land (houses),
- Vandalise/destroying their property.
