I was honoured to tell a story about the warriors of @CO_51FNQR @51FNQR on the frontlines, blending traditional skills with modern soldiering

Our ally and purported security guarantor is the biggest threat to global stability, supports Russia, interferes in the affairs of allies and routinely breaches international law.

But our media and security establishment insist China is the great existential threat...

Unhinged behaviour from Sussssssan

[Sky News Australia @SkyNewsAust]

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has attacked Penny Wong in the wake of the Bondi massacre, saying she hasn't seen the Foreign Minister attend any funerals or "shed a single tear".

The truth is the Palestine solidarity protests don’t upset Jews. They upset Zionists (Jews and non Jews).

They don’t upset peace activists and anti-genocide campaigners (Jews and non Jews)

This is the crux of the problem being denied.

Who allowed one of the perpetrators in?
A coalition government.
Who investigated one of the perpetrators and concluded they were no threat?
A coalition government.
Who gave one of them a NSW gun licence?
A coalition government.

You really want to politicise this?

@Louise_m_perry You’re an idiot. This is dog whistle racism and has little basis in reality

'I call upon all diggers, irrespective of colour, religion or creed, to salute the Southern Cross as a refuge for all the oppressed from all nations on earth.'

A huge loss for the journalism community. Peter was a compassionate and dedicated journalist. And what a voice! A wonderful activist for @withMEAA at the ABC - and just a thoughtful and considerate human. We will miss him greatly. Love to Mary and the family 💔 RIP Peter.

Hi!

Holocaust historian here. Let me see if I can help. That wasn't a "weird salute." It was a Hitler salute. Because Elon is a fucking Nazi.

Hope that helps!

Bosses court rules against striking UWU workers

[Luke Hilakari @lhilakari]

CEO Innes Willox AIG on the Woolies strike: "We can't have unions telling 21st century businesses they have to operate like 19th century businesses - & dictating how they organise and manage work."

They want us to be quiet.

They don’t care for our safety.

They will learn.

[RTBU @RTBUnion]

@VinceRugari Actually we’re more focussed on the working conditions of our members, many of whom are serious football fans too.

A million Lebanese civilians, mums, dads and kids are fleeing another Israeli ground invasion, as Israel commits genocide in Gaza, attacks Yemen, Iran and Syria - the Albanese Government and Coalition are either silent or complicit.

No weapons ban, no sanctions, no substance.
