‘A white man’s fantasy’: if we want to rebuild social cohesion, we need to acknowledge where it all started to unravel Australia has a serious problem with social cohesion, but it’s no good pretending it’s recent. Koori civilisation has been torn asunder ever since the convict ships dropped anchor

Plan B: insulating ourselves from the US P&I today begins a major new series - rethinking Australia's foreign policy. The United States is becoming more erratic and less reliable, and Australia must respond by insulating itself – strengthening regional ties, rethinking defence settings, and reducing strategic dependence, according to John Menadue. 

The United States is becoming more unpredictable – and more dangerous.
Australia must insulate itself by strengthening regional ties and reducing dependence on US power, John Menadue writes.

WTF is this ‘contract’? NSW paying $mils to Snowy Hydro which last I saw struggling to build its ‘network’. Still so b/c no physical connection w NSW Transport but ‘certificates’. AND no electrified ‘fleets’ buses etc now or likely in 2027 to be connected to Snowy Hydro. Investigation needed #auspol

Netanyahu is a war criminal, responsible for killing and maiming many thousands of civilians - including children. Personally i dont want him in my country. He belongs in the Hague. So doTrump & Hegseth

Prioritising war mongering ally over Australian citizen. Dan Duggan to be extradited - Michael West Former "top gun" pilot, Dan Duggan, wanted by the US for having provided training to Chinese pilots, told his extradition can go ahead.

Judge denies appeal. Australian @freedanduggan.bsky.social to be extradited to US where they can't even prosecute Epstein pedophile ring - also slugged with costs.

Does anyone else think the worm is turning? Thank goodness. Thank you goodness!

Oh wow. Amongst the lyrics is Re the Epstein files ‘you [trump] the main character .. Epstein just the prologue’.

Another banger from the maker of hits, Iran.

Iran just dropped another LEGO video that is absolute fire 🔥

“Your government is run by a p€d@ph!le. They ordered you to die for Israel” ☠️😂

How about starting the prosections of the alleged offenders. Survivors have already given statements, provided evidence, all set out in the Epstein Files. #epstein #trump #sexoffence

@michaelwestbiz.bsky.social in many years of seeking to understand involvements of Jewish religion, Israel, Zionism, in Governments & policies - I was once told 'It all starts in New York' ie as in money such as Rothschilds & stock exchange which is power. #auspol #ceasefire #trump #iranwar

Ceasefire, what ceasefire? There will be no peace until the rogue regimes of America and Israel are changed. No peace without justice

The madness of AUKUS led to support for Trump’s doomed attack on Iran.
Appeasing a madman is not diplomacy it is cowardly capitulation.
Diplomatically distancing the govt from Trump is too little too late. We are paying a huge price for this grave miscalculation

As Jewish Australians, we are devastated to learn of the Israeli assault on Lebanon yesterday. We urge @albomp.bsky.social and Foreign Minister Wong to speak out against Israel's violent escalation and call on the Government to take decisive action by demanding an immediate ceasefire.

@abcnewsbot.bsky.social reporting the horrendous bombing by Israel on the country of Lebanon as action against 'Hezbollah targets'. FFS. Our national broadcaster is truly the broadcaster of the Zionist collective. #auspol #jilliansegal

Only morons and ghouls could possibly believe the Israeli Ambassador’s Press Club narrative - The Shot No healthily educated and loved human could possibly believe any of the utter bunkum spouted at the National Press Club of Australia.

‼️ URGENT:

UN experts @FranceskAlbs and @profbensaul deplore #Israel’s adoption of the death penalty law which violates international law and risks discriminatory application against #Palestinians and call for its immediate repeal.

"It’s chilling to think our strategic and military future is so hocked to Trump & Hegseth (a Crusader fetishist with an empathy bypass and a contorted view of male identity) who publicly prays for his enemies to be smitten"

Albanese's failure to ditch these dangerous fools is a huge security risk.

Talk about patronising and talking down to the audience. Who the hell is advising you and writing your speeches? #auspol

What evil mind could imagine designing this thing, then make it into a brooch, and then wear it? These things are not means of death to proclaim and celebrate. My beautiful son took his own life & I cannot look at an image of one or say the word that it is. F*** the lot of you bastards.

When Israel’s Ambassador to Australia addresses the National Press Club today will anyone ask him about the law his government just passed mandating Palestinians be hanged within 90 days of sentencing? Silence here is more complicity.

Mickey J: an Australian always, quietly, making a big difference At a time of diminished political leadership, the legacy of Fred Hollows and Michael Johnson shows what practical, principled internationalism can achieve.

Australia’s political leadership is falling short at home and abroad.

The weaponisation of antisemitism is making Jews less safe Revulsion at Israel’s actions in Gaza is driving a global rise in antisemitism, while efforts to conflate criticism of Israel with hatred of Jews are deepening the danger.

They most certainly ARE. So shameful about the ISIS brides and such a harmful disregard for #HumanRights for women by our #PM. No wonder #domestic and other #violence on #women and #children is rising here in Australia. #auspol

Labor told us AUKUS is “peace through strength”. Opponents were branded “appeasers”, cowards who failed to understand “ changed circumstances”.
Our govt must stop dragging Australia into militarism , refusing to be honest, and sucking up to Trump an out of control madman.

Don't forget the Whitlam Dismissal in 1975. May not be 'failed' but was certainly regime change. #auspol #crikey
