This game of chicken is boring
I just ordered a free sticker to help push back on Pauline Hanson’s Trump-style politics of division. Stickers are heading into communities across the country to make the message visible. Grab one and help spread the word. getup.to/e2LkypFJCnkGTk
QLD Police, the AFP and the Dept of Home Affairs will need to explain how they are not complicit in putting the remaining Iranian women’s football team at risk, or accept responsibility and explain how their actions comply with international law #Auspol #IranWomensTeam #GoldCoast #SOS
Does Littleproud think tyranny is a value? Rather unholy imo #Auspol
Is there any evidence that these 'handlers' of the Iranian women's soccer team are exercising coercive control?
If so, that is a criminal offence under Queensland law

Provide protection for Iran's women's nation football team currently on the Gold Coast - the least Australia can do to help when it is complicit in this illegal war: c.org/LzMbT2f88D
I think Lent and Ramadan coinciding is a poetic and beautiful sign of harmony, and shared spiritual experiences sorely needed at this time ❤️🕊️☮️
Wednesday will also be the first night of Ramadan in Australia - with fasting during the day beginning on Thursday ☪️🧎
It is also the traditional Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday)/Shrove Tuesday/Pancake Tuesday 🥞🫦🍾 as the next day, Wed 18 February, is Ash Wednesday and the start of Lent in the Christian calendar, a time for penance and reflection 😇🙏✝️
Just an interesting observation: Tue 17 Feb 2026 is the Lunar New Year 🧧🏮, a day of celebration for many cultures, most notably in Asia
As a previous supporter of NSW Police marching in the Sydney Mardi Gras, I withdraw my support after the events on Monday night, & especially the police chief's complete denial of possibility that the police may have been in the wrong. We shall see: c.org/vs96CbQNMM #NSWPol #ResignMinns #MardiGras
Sadly amusing that it took Haaretz to pick up on this line by Albanese
Catley's intimidation on behalf of the NSW Police: "think again... you are deliberately antagonising the NSW Police"
Let's now all fear the police because they no longer provide security to the community! #FreePalestine #FreeGaza #ResignMinns
'Heavy-handed, state-enforced limitations on speech rarely change minds about political issues. Rather, sanitising the public square through exclusion zones merely drives extremist sentiments underground or galvanises protesters to weaponise this new grievance.'
'The challenge for a civil society should be to balance the right to protest against the right of a community to grieve without harassment.'
The AFRs surprising editorial today (just two sentences from the article):
'Criticising any government, including Israel’s, is a legitimate exercise of democratic freedom. There’s a problematic tendency by some to conflate anti-Israel sentiment with antisemitism.'
Perhaps it's just a harmless initiation practice for them to playfully fetishise amongst themselves??
Fuck the disrespect! #FreeGaza #FreePalestine #ResignMinns #ArrestHerzog

I can't tell the difference
How revolting! The genocidal infanticidal maniac Tzog is going to Canberra. I suppose satan will be welcomed with skeletal open arms into Australian Parliament House, that bloody murderous abyss
#BREAKING 🚨 Former Greens candidate Hannah Thomas says NSW premier Chris Minns "is responsible for every single injury" at the Sydney march against Isaac Herzog
Protesters were pepper-sprayed and punches thrown, with Thomas saying it "felt like war being waged on us by police"
NSW police make Israeli president feel at home by mercilessly attacking anyone with a Palestine flag
"Luckily the police seemed more than excited to step in and get as violent as needed to make sure he doesn't feel homesick" - Premier Minns chaser.com.au/national/nsw...

I can't tell the difference
The prime minister, Anthony Albanese, invited Herzog after the 14 December antisemitic attack at Bondi, saying his visit was intended to foster “a greater sense of unity”.
