The @australiainstitute.org.au research shows the majority of Australians want a parliamentary inquiry into #AUKUS – we just need the political will. Sign the petition calling on Federal Parliament to review this disastrous deal. #auspol Link: nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia...

Palestinians weren’t allowed to give any evidence, so how could they ‘hijack’ the inquiry Very interesting use of words by the abc there - no doubt taken straight from the zionists complaints #auspol

"This is not a ceasefire: it’s the same structural violence under a different name. ...a continuation of the genocide calibrated to be violent enough to keep Palestinians suffering daily, yet silent enough to avoid triggering international outrage." #GazaGenocide www.deepcutnews.com/p/five-point...

A new round of inquiries may expose more than corruption and mismanagement. The deeper danger is what money, secrecy and insider access have done to public trust in politics and institutions, Jack Waterford writes. #auspol #Integrity #Corruption
The truth, forced out, is more damaging than coming clean
A new round of royal commissions and public inquiries may expose not only corruption and mismanagement, but the deeper erosion of public trust in politics, parties and institutions.

'Get this right': Top US Jewish leader's stark warning for Australia
The leader of one of the world's most high-profile Jewish organisations says Australia faces a crucial test on how it tackles the rise of antisemitism.

Different logo, same machine. PHON looks like a recycled Liberal Party. If you're done with the duopoly, back a party with sensible, evidence-based policies. Thoughts? 🤔 👇 #auspol #nswpol #housingcrisis #rentalcrisis

There has been a greater percentage of children reported murdered by Israel in Gaza than in WWII's Nazi holocaust. And still Western and European "leaders" defend and enable the indefensible. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust
Your brain uses about 20% of your body's energy. A study found people with Long COVID had lower energy in a key brain region, helping explain brain fog and fatigue. Creatine may help cells deliver ATP energy, but like any supplement, it's probably not the answer on its own.
Long COVID Study Finds Major Energy Deficits in the Brain - Health Rising
A long COVID study examining, for the first time, energy levels in the brain, found them to be depleted in a large region called the cingulate cortex.

If Hitler would have focused only on exterminating the Jews, no country would have bothered to stop him. No country rushed in to save those Jews. They rushed in to save territories. I reckon that's where the West stands today. If you're invading land we want, genocide is fine.
Your praise for Trump's announcement of a "ceasefire" in Gaza in Oct 2025 could not have been more effusive, @senatorwong.bsky.social. And yet—every day since, this has been the reality on the ground for Gazans. And worse. Much worse. Why are you still sitting in our Parliament? #auspol #genocide
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.
Powerful article by #joanapartyka in @thesaturdaypaper.com.au about the thuggish legal bullying by big businesses - in this case Woodside, against climate activists protesting against the exploitation & environmental destruction. We so need legal reform to stop such suppression of public protest
Note: Haaretz is an iZraeli news service. Allowing for some inevitable nationalist miopia, Haaretz is often critical of iZrael's Right-wing & voting within the Knesset. I've followed Haaretz, off & on, for 30 yrs. The home-truths they print are never allowed in the Australian media... why is that?
