Good for Norway. Global isolation is a start. It must include complete economic and military embargo - the only means of stopping the genocide, short of war that would quickly go nuclear.
Global embargo now. Clock is ticking.

Remember the polar bears.
Remember the rhinos.
Remember the elephants.
Remember the orangutans.
Remember the whales.
Remember the rainforests.
Remember the coral reefs.
Remember the glaciers.

The future of each now rests in human hands.

Racist Pauline Hanson declares Australia’s problems began when the Whitlam government “opened up and got rid of the White Australian [sic] policy then they started bringing in the different migrants”. SHE IS A UNREPENTANT DISGRACE!! https://t.co/BWte2d7cln #FreePalestine #auspol

We just blew up an Iranian ship in international waters and left all of the survivors to drown.

This is who we are now.

[Tamer Nahed @Tamer_Alnoaizy]

I do not know if anyone in this world still cares, but a short while ago the director of Al-Shifa Hospital spoke about a new virus spreading among children in the tents, and about its strong and rapid impact on their fragile bodies. Here, no one fully understands what is happening, and there are no capabilities to uncover the truth or contain the danger.

Israel is preventing the entry of medicines and testing equipment, hospitals are nearly paralyzed, and fear is quietly creeping into people’s hearts. The bodies of children in the tents cannot withstand any new virus they have no immunity, no treatment, and no environment that protects them from disease.

The situation is worsening with every passing hour, while the world remains incapable or silent when it comes to pressuring for the entry of essential medicines and medical supplies.

Life cannot continue like this, in this ongoing hell. What is happening is neither normal nor humane, and it cannot be endured any longer. We need immediate and urgent action before more innocent lives, that have not yet truly begun, are lost.

Australia must reject Trump’s invitation to join his band of thieves, otherwise known as his Board of Peace. It is humiliating that Albo and Marles are even considering it!! It should have been rejected immediately. #auspol

Israel’s blockade of reconstruction materials is forcing families to live in fragile tents, where people continue to die from hypothermia. At least 18 children have frozen to death this winter alone due to the lack of real shelter. End the siege. Free Palestine.

This appalling accusation by Sussan Ley is hateful, damaging, inciteful, and wrong.

If she won’t retract and apologise, she ought the be among the first to be dragged before our courts for ‘hate crime’.

Oglala Lakotas, are closing their Reservation borders. Now, Cheyenne River Lakotas are doing the same. ICE, is in South Dakota!

Dan Duggan was locked in solitary confinement for 19 months. This amounts to a form of torture by the NSW government.

The United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners states:
Solitary confinement shall be used only in exceptional cases as a last resort, for as short a time as possible and subject to independent review, and only pursuant to the authorization by a competent authority.
In no circumstances may restrictions or disciplinary sanctions amount to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
The following practices, in particular, shall be prohibited:
b. Prolonged solitary confinement (in excess of 15 days)

Thank you to @cafelockedout for helping share Dan’s story.

Dan remains in maximum security awaiting a court decision on the legality of his extradition approval to the US.

Please let the government know this is unacceptable and help the family pay for legal fees to protect Dan, and Australian sovereignty: https://t.co/qyogQjnOR8

With the introduction of the Hate and Extremism Bill 2026, there is a glaring omission: the legislation ignores Indigenous Australians as a group that has experienced-& continues to experience — the most sustained and harmful impacts of racism in Australia.
Real legislation requires those who have paid the greatest and longest price for racism in this country to be named, protected, & centred in our laws-not ignored-which simply just magnifies and dismisses the harm.
This is not a matter of opinion. It is established in peer-reviewed epidemiological and public health research that racism is a measurable determinant of Aboriginal health and wellbeing (see some peer reviewed articles below).

If legislation aimed at confronting hatred in Aust does not explicitly acknowledge & address the documented harms of racism against Indigenous people, then its not evidence-based lawmaking. It argues a hierarchy of harm.
And yes, without irony I will be switching off the comments on this post because every time I mention the word Aboriginal on this page the racial vilification and hate is overwhelming

While we're being told there isn't enough Australian gas for Australians, Japan is making billions selling our gas to other countries!

Japan is reselling more Australian gas than is used in Victoria, NSW, QLD, Tasmania, SA, and the NT COMBINED!

John Mearsheimer on the shameful UN resolution placing Gaza under US-Israeli colonial administration:

“The resolution is disgraceful... You have the two states which have been executing the genocide, the US and Israel, in charge, while the victims, the Palestinians, who are hoping for some form of self-determination, will get none. They’re going be treated like colonial victims, people who need guardianship to run them. It’s hard to believe that in 2025 this is where we’re at. But this is, I think, what we have gotten with this UN resolution”.

[Jenny Difficult-Frecklington-Jones 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇮🇷 @JonesHowDareYou]

Tell us again, @SenatorWong, how the "Gaza ceasefire" is a "singular achievement" by Donald Trump, "extraordinarily moving" and that Donald "deserves enormous congratulations."

Go on. I dare you to repeat it. #auspol #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust
