No surprise; Australia's political & media establishment won't even acknowledge the Red Lines Package: - Labor knows its pretence of upholding international law and human rights would look even more hypocritical, and - politicians & media would need to confront the "G" word. #GazaGenocide #auspol

WWHAT?? Does Labor think we don't know that THEY also deport asylum seekers and refugees to Nauru still AND have shonky contracts with Nauru airlines to do so? bsky.app/profile/gekk... The Duopoly love to play good guy bad guy - but they are the same ideology operating opaquely gaslighting voters

WHAT AUSTRALIANS ACTUALLY WANT
There are more of us than you think. The real freeloaders aren’t migrants or people on welfare. They’re gas exporters paying less tax than beer drinkers, and 200 people holding $707 billion. They have the money. We have the numbers. We are the change. suebarrett.substack.com/p/there-are-...
The Greens are set to push Labor to dramatically toughen new laws designed to rein in big tech, with the minor party demanding changes that would give people more control over their social media feeds and take platforms to court directly. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In the last 48 hours, Trump has invented an energy ceasefire deal between Russia and Ukraine, pretended that much of this year’s energy price surge is not because of his reckless war on Iran and cut a side deal to funnel billions to Russia for sanctioned diesel. Not a friend. End AUKUS.
Delighted that Navi Pillay, chair of the UN commission which found Israel guilty of genocide in Gaza, has won the Nobel Peace Prize. Let Trump and Netanyahu splutter and fume: the truth becomes ever harder to deny.
She fought apartheid, defended Nelson Mandela, and helped change how the world prosecutes sexual violence. Today, at 85, Navi Pillay was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. What an extraordinary woman. 💜 #SheShed #VivaHerAlliance

If Hanson "seems more and more like the de facto opposition leader", it's because legacy media - glosses over the racism - avoids testing her 'policies' - ignores disinformation that drives her support, and - rarely mentions PHON's #FarRight links. In short; keeps giving her an easy ride. #auspol

Australians shouldn’t be bluffed by businesses claiming they’ll go broke due to credit card charges ending. Before paying by card streamlined their accounting procedures businesses had costs associated with cash handling and security. They survived. #AusPol

Gratifying to learn that the Nobel prize committee still has a backbone and a clear sense of justice and morality. An excellent choice.
Navi Pillay last year: "The commission finds it is genocide" Pillay has just won the Nobel peace prize.
More than half of rural Australia’s population growth since 2017 has come from overseas migration. Cut migration without a regional population strategy and many smaller communities could decline even faster, Stewart Lockie, Nick Osbaldiston and Rana Dadpour write. #auspol #Migration
