After failing to prove his claim that the Palestine Action Group was “celebrating” Oct 7, David Ossip is asked if he can admit his evidence is wrong here too. Cornered but too shameless to admit it, takes it on notice & says he ‘wasn’t expecting the question’ Sneaky liar. 🙄
Caught giving false evidence, David Ossip tries dodging questions as Commr Bell demands he answer on his claim the Oct9 Opera House protest was held “before” Israel's military response. Toomey SC reveals Gaza was being hit by IDF airstrikes on Oct7.🙄 Another exposed witness.💥
This Thursday, SpaceX insiders will be released from their first post-IPO stock lockup and can cash out early. As I've been saying, this has all the hallmarks of a Ponzi scheme.
The data centre industry’s greenwashing is buried in grey areas and jargon, and the government isn’t doing enough to fix it. In his latest article, Senior Research Associate Ketan Joshi explains what their proposed new regulations will mean for Australia. #auspol

The Australian Government has listened to island communities, and just announced plans to massively expand marine sanctuary protection around the stunning Lord Howe Island and Norfolk Island. But before it becomes a reality, the government wants to hear from YOU on the proposed expansions, AND on what other improvements are needed across Australia’s offshore marine parks. […]

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
Don't you love Conservatives? I'm surprised we even have an office for Women in Qld. References to “gender equality” have been removed from the Queensland Office for Women’s website, amid claims the state government wants to “dewokify” the public service. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

🧵Thanks to @jimchalmers.bsky.social for not making being widowed harder. My husband died out of the blue not that long after Covid, and I had chosen to return to study instead of work after that interruption. Being stripped of a credit card (and no right to my own) felt humiliating. All bills to be

'Mr Greenblatt found the number of antisemitic incidents in Australia has surged by 270 per cent since 2021.' Probably got more to do with this Australians overwhelmingly (82%) think that Israel’s deliberate blocking of aid into Gaza cannot be justified
