Yaron Finkelstein is a world class political strategist.

His job for the past 30 years has literally been to manipulate public opinion on a large scale.

He was hired by Jillian Segal from April 2026 for 12 months.

And then her new, unasked-for report appears.

He advised on the strategic timing of her report, the political culture wars content of it - all of it.

That's literally what the man was paid to do - use his political strategy experience to advance Jillian Segal's agenda.

He wasn't paid $200K to advise on dinner.

It’s 11/11/2026 & Israel continues to murder Palestinian doctors. Israel is committing #medicide - building business links with Israeli Health companies at a Jerusalem Post conference in Sydney deeply unethical

[Stephen Parnis @SParnis]

I grieve the death of one of Gaza's few remaining general surgeons today. Dr Rizq Abu Shaeera was respected by many who worked alongside him, providing surgical care in unspeakably harsh conditions at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, the target of today's lethal airstrikes.

An update on the situation in Gaza from UNRWA. Nearly 400 UNRWA staff and support staff have been killed and the org has long been denied visas to enter, despite the dire need of Gazans.

This is astounding - Albanese flies to the COP31 summit, delivers a key note address - and fails to mention fossil fuels. That’s not leadership, it’s literally gaslighting. The Greens know climate action means no new coal or gas, starting now.

[Jewish Council of Australia @jewishcouncilAU]

Antisemitism is real and it's rising in Australia, but the Special Envoy is looking in the wrong place for its cause.

[Christine Milne AO @ChristineMilne]

Australia second only to Saudis. This is what Bowen and Albanese should be forced to confront. #Beetaloo #Browse #auspol

[KellieTranter @KellieTranter]

Disgraceful.

Non-violent protests are a foundational part of democracy. And for the Lord Mayor to pass this without fully appreciating its potential far-reaching consequences is both lazy and incompetent.

Students explain why they are protesting the presence of Joe Biden, former Democrat US President and genocidal maniac, on the campus of Trinity College Dublin.

Freedom of information data released this morning supports what disability advocates and NDIS recipients have been telling us for over a year: the vast majority of ‘savings’ from the recent NDIS reforms will come from cutting services and supports for vulnerable Australians, not from fraud or integrity measures.

NSW Nanna will be joining our friends @risingtideaus.bsky.social for a fun day at Horseshoe Beach, Newcastle this Saturday.
We see no reason to unpack our bags nor our commitment to the democratic right to peaceful protest.

Abbott got what he deserved with Gillard’s misogyny speech. But context is imp. It was the day her govt legislation to cut payments for single parents, overwhelmingly women was passed. I was there at time and saw timing of speech as opportunistic and cover.

[💧Michael West @MichaelWestBiz]

Hi Correna @CHaythorpeAEU why are teachers unions not pushing back against the apparently apartheid school curriculum plan being implemented at the demand of a foreign lobby group?

No response to these questions by your Media Team

[Wendy Bacon @Wendy_Bacon]

Here is Hannah Thomas #Greens on AI and job losses in Cheek Media - so much more convincing that Min Amanda Rishworth who has just waffled with preprepared PR lines on @RNBreakfast - shockingly inadequate

On behalf of more than 80 civil society organisations & unions I gave evidence to the Senate explaining that without a private right to seek compensation for those that are harmed , a digital duty of care law will fail.

[Ellen Sandell @ellensandell]

Labor voters will be frankly shocked that Victorian Labor would prefer to elect a right-wing Liberal-One Nation Government, rather than elect a local, progressive Greens woman in Prahran.

Encouraging to know that when you’re selling investment in the #apartheid state of #Israel that’s been committing a #genocide , you will struggle to fill your spots.

[💧Paulkaz 🧢 @Paulkaz12]

@USEmbAustralia @ASPI_org America forced Australia to appoint Israeli propagandist Jillian Segal to change Australian law.
Current law provides that criticism of Israel the IDF or Zionism is not antisemitism.
The American Israel lobby wants this to change to protect Israel.
