Israel’s genocidal intent has been clear for years. Stern words are not enough. Recognition of Palestine is not enough. Israel must feel the full weight of global pressure or the killing will continue.
So-called mutual obligations are counterproductive and legally dodgy. I asked Labor if they would pause MOs, given the fuel crisis triggered by the illegal war they support is going to harm people on poverty payments the most. Their answer? Mutual obligations are good actually.
A 24 hour vigil outside Parliament House read the names of children killed by Israel in Gaza. Reading the names, I found it hard not to be moved thinking about these innocent lives lost.
Yesterday, the war parties teamed up to shut the door on Iranians trying to flee a war they endorse and support. We know that there are Labor MPs who oppose this war and Australia's involvement. It's time they spoke up. Silence is complicity.
The National Press Club needs to explain why they think it's appropriate to invite the Israeli ambassador to speak - a man representing a country that has murdered 300 journalists since it started is genocide in Gaza. Hillel Newman should be expelled, not honoured by the media.
The NACC has let Robodebt's architects off the hook, while Labor's dubiously legal welfare compliance regime continues to demean, punish and harm thousands. Robodebt is not an artifact of history. It's a living warning to a Labor government that refuses to listen.
Millions of people around the country are calling on Labor to tax the gas corporations fairly to help Australians struggling to survive. Today, hundreds of union members in Gladstone joined that call. As a QTU member for more than 25 years I was proud to join them.
The so-called anti-corruption watchdog has let Robodebt's architects walk away unscathed. No accountability, no consequences. Solidarity with Kath Madgwick, Jenny Miller and the thousands of others who keep fighting for justice. @kathmadgwick.bsky.social @chexabonus.bsky.social
Every Australian can see what's happening in Iran on their screens. Schoolgirls ripped to shreds. Hospitals flattened. Rivers of fire. Acid rain. THIS is what Labor has committed Australia to. An historically immoral and illegal crime with apocalyptic consequences.
Labor know their aged care algorithm is cooked - that's why they've put money aside in the budget to reassess it. But they still won't put humans back in charge of decision-making!

What did you think of Song Sung Blue? Personally it’s my favorite love story of all time! Why? Because they were equal partners that had something deeply in common that carried their love story BEYOND just getting together! You don’t see that often! #songsungblue #nieldiamond #heartdiseaseawareness

🤔Smells like success; feels like innocence wrapped in fine Corinthian leather. It's a handful too. Requires Cheerios at my advanced age. I will get into it shortly. 😀
I hate putting out videos about the news, current events or politics because I know I will get abuse online. Don't try to reason with trolls, bullies and bots, just block them and move on with your life. It's so much better for your mental health.

2/3 Galați [pronounced Galatsi] is Romania's 8th biggest city, and also a port on the Danube. As we've seen in the statement, two people suffered minor injuries, so it could have been a lot worse. This is the moment the Russian UAV hit the apartment block in Romania.

Sec. Buttigieg: Most Americans agree with us that the government should be doing more and not less to make sure you can get health care, and that you can afford it. That means expanding Medicaid and expanding the Affordable Care Act — not tearing it down.
