As Chris Sidoti said, this is
"a violation of Australia’s international obligations to prevent genocide, to ensure respect for international humanitarian law and not to aid or assist the continuation of Israel’s unlawful activities in any way."
The Australian govt is complicit in the #GazaGenocide.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.
The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

"To repair trust in his leadership and ensure the effectiveness of the NACC, Brereton must change course and be far more transparent and proactive."
This article is too kind.
Brereton is incapable of changing course. He must go.
But the real responsibility here is with the PM who appointed him.

A generation were told tech jobs were the jobs of the future. Instead they were exploited into obselescence, then cast aside.
Happy to link how much Google was contributing to Atlas Network partner operations in the twenty-teens if you’re interested. The architecture of influence of beleaguered corporate sectors for decades.
As George Monbiot noted, only bad actors need to put that much effort into manipulating the system.

<div class="field field-field-text"><p>Seventy percent of Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing extreme weakness from starvation, hindering their ability to access humanitarian aid, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) said on Tuesday.</p>
<p>"The physical exhaustion is so profound that many are unable to make the long journey on foot to distribution sites or carry heavy loads even if they receive assistance," said the organisation in a statement as it released the findings of a survey of Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, Khan Younis, Gaza City and North Gaza.</p>
<p>"The survey exposes the life-threatening consequences of the American and Israeli-backed distribution scheme and the severe psychological toll on a population with no safe haven," the statement said.</p>
<p>The organisation also said Palestinians trying to access the militarised-backed distribution scheme said they witnessed people, including family members, being deliberately targeted, shot, and killed by soldiers.</p>
