I sincerely ask: @albomp.bsky.social, @australianlabor.bsky.social @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social @nswLaborparty What Benifits have YOU bought for the Australian Citizens - by backing a Genocidal State
Bethany Williams@bethanyincbr.bsky.social · yesterdayThis is a great article by the amazing @ronnisalt.bsky.social about Jillian Segal’s attempt to control the pro-Israel narrative in Australia.

The Greens are the only political party who stand against Trump & Netanyahu’s illegal war on Iran, the only party calling for US to withdraw, War parties Labor, LNP and One Nation who still back this war should take a hint from the US midterms or suffer the consequences. #auspol
"The most crushing and terrifying result of the evening." 😱 Nothing rattles the racist Sky After Dark crowd quite like actual democracy, especially if a Muslim is elected. Sharri Markson suffers from a bad case of Islamophobia, desperately spreading Trump’s unproven lies.
“The NT Labor opposition says the Country Liberal Party government "needs to explain what they are hiding", but has not committed to allowing a visit if returned to power.” Only The Greens would allow UN to inspect the facilities. Labor, LNP and ON say no.

One Nation Vic leader Warren Pickering roasted on Today after standing by his Ashwood candidate Steven Mitchell who platforms “whack jobs” that spread lies about the Port Arthur massacre. Pickering says he will “defend” his cooker candidates through thick & thin.🙄 #auspol
Sharri is still attacking elected Muslims, now seething over winning Muslim candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier for wearing a keffiyeh & speaking on “Palestinian, not American issues” While Sharri speaks on American, not Australian issues. Her racist hypocrisy knows no bounds.
She was even congratulating “Senator Trump” for waging war on Iran, some months ago. So many receipts.
stranger@strangerous.bsky.social · 8mo agoPauline Hanson has congratulated “Senator Trump” on his latest illegal war in Iran. Lidia Thorpe: “Trump isn’t a Senator.” “What planet are you on?” 🔥🤣 #auspol
The problem Pauline Hanson has with trying to suddenly scrub any references to Trump, is there are countless videos where she’s praising him like a god. Here’s one “I’ve always supported Donald Trump and I think you know that.” Yes we do Pauline. You’re finished.👋#auspol
Trumpism might be dead in America but it is now thriving in Australia under the rule of Australia’s unelected special envoy on spreading Islamophobia Jillian Segal.
Ronni🧂Salt@ronnisalt.bsky.social · 2d agoMy latest article for @theshot.net.au where I point out that Segal's latest 'report' was not requested by government or the Prime Minister It's simply a rehash of last year's report - but it has a purpose beyond its pages. I explain all in the article. 🙏🏽 theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

Antipoverty Centre@antipovertycentre.org · 2w agoIT'S HERE: From today you can get our new "Mutual" obligations rights guide – digital or in print It explains in clear terms how people can and can’t be penalised to cut through job agency bullshit. It’s for people with compulsory activities, community sector workers or anyone who wants to help.
I drew this when Steven Lowy at the RC, among others, proposed that the CSG, a Jewish security group, should provide security at public events. Chris Minns was all for it but the Police said no. Now we have the new heavily Armed Response Command to keep us “safe”! (Cartoon was rejected).
I came across an old cartoon of mine, from when we knew what editorial leadership looked like.
“There are no refunds, no enforceable obligations on partner countries and no recourse if things go wrong. We therefore recommend that notice should immediately be given to scrap AUKUS” Peter Garrett said. Read the full piece on The Point: https://sbrew.link/e7yCaMjR
AUKUS is turning Australia into a platform for US military operations, locking us into $368 billion of costs and wars not of our choosing, argues Jonathan Pilbrow. The independent inquiry is a chance to rethink before it's too late. #auspol #AUKUS #PeaceNotWar
