Imagine how horrific Israel's crimes in Gaza must be that they continue to ban foreign journalists from entering the illegally occupied Palestinian territory. It's a genocide crime scene, and they're destroying the evidence. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine
Girls & women will always have abortions. They can either have safe medical or surgical ones, or if One Nation gets any power, thousands will die, or be permanently damaged. Girls who give birth face enormous physical & mental health dangers compared to safe abortion.

What they're doing to Palestine Action is truly wretched stuff man. Principled direct action against a Genocide is what leads to endless punishment and imprisonment while the bastards that fund, enable, defend, justify, and enact the genocide are all protected and coddled. It's sickening shit.
Imagine how credulous you have to be to think Gina Rinehart "listens" to Hanson.
Penny Allman-Payne@pennyallmanpayne.com · 2mo agoIf you're a normal person you probably think it's bad that billionaire Trump pals like Gina Rinehart have Pauline Hanson in their pocket. So of course the most abnormal publication in the country thinks it's good.
What I don't understand is why no-one is pushing for a carbon tax.

Between Gina, Kerry, and of course Rupert Murdoch; our media ownership is concentrated in the hands of the 1%. As life gets harder, they’re using their money to distract us from the real issue - their extreme wealth. It’s time they paid their fair share: taxthe1percent.com.au

The media now started calling Beirut's southern suburbs a "Hezbollah stronghold." Dahiyeh is a densely populated part of a capital city. Striking entire civilian neighborhoods is not counterterrorism. It's a war crime.

The Saturday Paper@thesaturdaypaper.com.au · 2mo agoAs far back as the late 1970s, Gina Rinehart saw the importance of owning and controlling media. As her media portfolio expands, will her backing of One Nation succeed where her father's "Joh for PM" plan failed? trib.al/NrhA2WA
Another mass shooting in the USA, this time Ohio. I feel terrible for the people who’ve been injured and killed, but it’s getting more and more difficult to feel that. Americans have done NOTHING to try and prevent these DAILY shootings. What’s it going to take? When does it go too far? #GunsKill
Israel is a criminal state. Aiding Israel or the IDF should be criminalised.
Jonathan Cook@jonathan-cook.bsky.social · 2mo agoTwo years of lying about bombing Gaza's hospitals – supposedly to target "Hamas control and command centres" underneath – has really paid off. Now Israel bombs Lebanon's hospitals and doesn't even need to pretend there's a military rationale.
Ok. This is scary.

Me to ABC: [Extending excise cuts] bad idea in general to permanently shield consumers from price increases, bad more specifically because we need to transition away from internal combustion engine vehicles Temporary relief made sense, but three months is time to adjust.
What happens when fuel excise cuts end on June 30?
Experts say consumers have 30 days until they pay more at the pump if no peace deal is finalised in the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.

Measles vaccines save millions of lives each year. Measles used to be an extremely common disease. Just sixty years ago, over 90% of children would have been infected by it, and of those who developed symptoms, around a quarter would be hospitalized.
