Good. There is no excuse to suppress the names of people convicted of crimes - no matter who they are and who their associates are. I hope #AFL reviews the situation and recognises the need to be very responsible about their influence on our young men.
Great, we know about this guy… Journos, now it’s time to do the real work & find out who his “influential mates” are… In my experience, lack of respect for women is a highly contagious malignancy & the odds are his mates need to be quarantined, or at least examined. 🕊️💙🦋 #auspol #feministsky

We can hardly wait. Our Congress passed a bill demanding that this happen, but they seem too corrupt/intimidated to follow up on it. We're hoping to replace most of them soon, but whatever you can do will be helpful & much appreciated. #ProudBlue
Hey Josh Burns - no one “is blaming the Jewish community in Australia for what is happening in Gaza” we are protesting genocide and illegal occupation. The Royal commission is NOT doing a good job with its doctored terms of reference. #RNBreakfast @australianlabor.bsky.social
The entire NT Police Force cannot be trusted to not be racist. The service needs to be disbanded. It’s harmed Indigenous communities enough. Enough is enough. They’re not interested in community protection. How much criminality is involved? #NT #Racism #Policing www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

#Auspol A reminder that ‘News24’ in Australia is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch also owns ‘Fox News’ in the United States of America. Neither network is news. Both networks are propagandist machines built by Murdoch so that he can feed the people his narratives to control political votes.
No matter how much the government bends over backwards to appease them, it isn't enough! They will continue to gaslight us as being 'antisemitic' not doing enough to keep Jews safe when they get 49 times* more funding than Muslims. *Ref Michael West Media michaelwest.com.au/wheres-the-m... #auspol

"Not one house at a time... We’re talking about 15,000 to 20,000 homes. All 24 of these villages have been destroyed…” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said. This isn’t collateral damage. It's policy. Congress must demand accountability.
Katz boasts of ending administrative detention for Jews, increasing its use against Arabs
Speaking at right-wing conference, defense minister also touts IDF demolition of 24 historic villages in southern Lebanon, which included '15,000 to 20,000 homes'

Chinese President XiJinping has rightly stated Israel, not Iran, is the root cause of all problems in the MiddleEast. He urged Gulf states to recognise this "truth" before it is too late. Iran has never attacked its neighbours. STOP SELLING OIL & ALL TRADE WITH ISRAEL!
