We hear on the radio and tv, the resource sector (BHP, RIO, Alcoa et al) with their propaganda ads, how wonderful they are for the community and what great things they are doing in said community. I would be a lot happier, if they also let us know what govt subsidies they receive!

Royal Commission into Antisemitism a "$131 Million Whinge" - Michael West

Royal Commission into Antisemitism will not defeat antisemitism. It is a government buying absolution with $131m of public money

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 It's marvelous how they so deftly ignore the woolly mammoth dead centre in the room.

ABC was fifielded under Turnbull and Morrison and has been sky lite ever since. It doesn’t gat watched in our house where it was always on in the background. News comes from real journalists like Michael West. ABC is old media biased to the right

And exactly like the BBC, we should never forget how @abcnews @ABCaustralia has changed this country by doing exactly the same thing—endless airtime given to the rightwing and their propaganda without any pushback on lies/disinformation while shutting out progressive voices. #auspol

Israel the monstrous State

"Palestinians in #Gaza City held a mass funeral for 112 members of the Hassayna & Abu Sharia families whose remains were recently recovered from beneath rubble years after an #Israeli strike in 2023..." m.youtube.com/watch?v=5JeR... #BDS #BoycottIsrael #GazaNews #Israel #News #Palestine #WorldNews

Fascist Russia knows Ukraine now lacks the ability to intercept ballistic missiles, as its allies failed to provide them from their own stocks, never scaled up production. Kyiv now pretty much defenseless- I didn’t hear anything that sounded like an interception in this latest attack.

Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv - 8 missiles reported incoming so far. Tsirkon hypersonic cruise missiles also said incoming. Explosions in Kyiv. More launches - now 10 missiles incoming.

Sarah Hanson-Young left gobsmacked as ACMA admits they provide no policy advice on gambling ads, or how to tackle the harm of inducements, bcoz it’s a “matter of policy - for govt” SHY “But policy is based on advice...”💥 Not just toothless, also muzzled.

Dude, if there’s one thing in the world Australia doesn’t require its advice from an American on how to run a society. #AusPol

'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.

Indeed, I don’t see how an organisation tasked with being anti-defamation could also be called a Jewish organisation - surely they’re against all kinds of defamation/ prejudice?

Statistical proof of the Albanese govt standing with corporate lobbyists over the public. Good work by @roycerk2.bsky.social

Albanese keeps backing lobbyists over public opinion, our analysis shows

From salmon to supermarkets, gas to Gaza, the PM has consistently backed those with power and wealth

David Pocock left stunned as Luke Bateman who has recovered from a serious gambling addiction also reveals he was being offered drugs, Pocock “The actual leaders of these companies knew what was happening?” Bateman “Not only did they know, they were participating in it.”💥

What angers me most when reading articles like this is that claims of a "rise in antisemitism" in Australia are a hoax, a mass deception intended to push through laws meant to silence pro-Palestine activism and criticism of Israeli atrocities throughout this country. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/08...

The government cannot ask Muslims not to compare

The government created a legitimate comparison when it appointed envoys for Islamophobia and antisemitism, and Muslim communities are entitled to ask whether both responses reflect equal protection.

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

Victorians turn out in massive numbers to denounce Pauline Hanson’s “racism and fascism” — swarming her fundraiser to demand she get out of the state.💥 This should be the greeting she gets everywhere she peddles her hate. Well done Victoria. #auspol

Bloke who infamously had no issue with Musk doing a Nazi salute has thoughts and ABC decides they’re worth repeating?

The establishment loves this phrase. But as Ed Husic found out, imposing consensus from the top isn't democracy – it's erasure.

We've never had such a thin skinned and pathetically weak politician in Pauline Hanson. Banning the media is also a slap in the face to democracy and should immediately disqualify her from public office.

We should never forget how the BBC has changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage and other rightwing extremists, while shutting out progressive voices.

Tim Costello shocks the Senate after revealing a young man in prison who had his life turned upside down from gambling was being offered drugs & escorts by TAB & SportsBet as inducements “He was given escorts” & “asked, ‘what drugs you like?’” And we’re still just debating ads?

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Fuck all the way off with this. Howard has never liked multiculturalism. Not because it denotes ‘different tribes’ but because he can’t imagine anyone but someone who looks and thinks like him as ‘Australian’.
