Writer, journalist, guy that says stuff (about stuff). Editor of The Shot. Anti-genocide. Special envoy for social discontent.

Pauline Hanson is such a fucking coward. Imagine needing to ban the wet lettuce leaves of the ABC, Age and Guardian from your events?!? How could any Prime Ministerial contender possibly handle a meek tut-tutting from limp liberal media?! It's farcical. Auspol is pathetic atm.

we fell for this the last ten times - the way political journalists perform for each other and not the public interest - and call it democracy lmao as tho any of us need to hear corporate media amplify and sanitise Hanson and then normalise their amplification of Hanson via shitshows like this.

#PaulineHanson: There's a lot of media here. Are you really concerned the #ABC aren't here? Journalist: In a #democracy shouldn't all #media have access to a press conference particularly if you're, as you say, running to form a government in the November state election? #AUSPOL #SpringSt #PHON

The ABC is cooked. Yes I know there were and still are good people working there who do not have a choice on content or editing or to change anything. But this kinda shit is just absolutely unacceptable. So you all support genocide now? Really? Disgraceful. I want a refund of my hard-earned tax $$.

I have made a video with footage no one has seen yet demonstrating how the ABC deliberately erased Gaza from its reporting of the Pine Gap protest last week. www.instagram.com/reel/Dbb5iQt...

Wish I could say I was shocked, but having been interviewed by ABC over a refugee story and seeing the most salient points left out of the coverage on TV I know what bastards they are - I had evidence gov. fitted up Bakhtiyari family, they refused to publish it and the the family were deported

Naarm/Melbourne has again showed up in force to protest Israeli atrocity in Gaza and the West Bank, grotesque Australian government and corporate complicity, and the silence and indifference of the husks posing as human among us. From the river to the sea.

Lying by omission is the modus operandi of the ABC especially when it comes to anything that highlights Israeli crimes generally (there are so many) or specifically, the genocide in Gaza. A distinctive and utterly shameful pattern. They shouldn't get away with it. Well done, Dave ✌️🙌✌️

100% the right decision for Dave to do this fantastic must-watch interview with David 👏✌️🙏✌️👏 DS: (Young people making connections across the globe). 'Well, fuck - that's dangerous if you're the ruling class. Where you want to divide everybody, segregate everybody, and make people fight everybody.'

Here's my 30-min unedited interview with @davidshoebridge.bsky.social outside Pine Gap. We talk about escaping a rotting American empire, nukes, why the Arrernte want Pine Gap closed, and how it feels like the @albomp.bsky.social government are "in a death cult". www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5VZ...

“The crime of believing in International law & that people have the right to exist in a free & equal society.” “saying words about water & freedom dumbest thing I’ve heard“Remah Naji Pay attention how our country makes parts sent to “kill & shred the limbs of men, women & children “

David Milner@davemilbo.bsky.social · last wk.

Remah Naji, a Palestinian in QLD, today has launched a free speech lawsuit against the QLD government for banning Palestinian liberation slogans. We spoke about how much "bullshit" the whole thing is after the Pine Gap blockade, here www.instagram.com/reel/DbUqJBj...

Essential read from @davemilbo.bsky.social for @theshot.net.au Do you know what has been done & is being done in your name❓️ How do we answer the powerful courage & compassion of the Arrente who speak up for Palestinians in Gaza despite their own dispossession❓️❤️💛🖤 🇵🇸

Excerpt from David Milner's report on Convergence at Pine Gap

"As Felicity Hayes read her letter to a representative of the base, this remarkable woman living without electricity extended her solidarity to oppressed people on the other side of the world. In that moment, I wanted every politician pretending up is down, left is right, and that genocide is defence, and every hack in the press that has covered for them, to feel pain, shame, and the scorn of the liberated world.
 
"Wel'll hang this letter in the museum once we`ve closed the base," says Shoebridge After a moment of reflection, the Hayes family turn away, and return to the larger protest group and a hero's welcome."

Here's my story from Pine Gap. "The fight to end the US military occupation of Australia (and the entire world)" It's a photo-essay this time because I took a tonne of pics, the country being this stunning, to help convey the Arrernte's struggle.

i like zoos where they're still figuring out how to handle formerly hosting animal shows. the baltimore aquarium has a funny sign at the dolphin encounter like "the dolphins don't have to do tricks during their feeding time if they don't feel like it but you can watch in case they do them anyway"

“I've got much more in common with a mom and dad trying to keep their kids safe in Tyran or Aman or in Gaza. Than I've got with rapist felon pedo Trump or anthony fascist conman.” We need Change #SundayShot #Auspol
