Royal Commissions. Ask any victim of institutional child abuse, or any veteran, or any Robodebt victim how useful Royal Commissions are. They make lots of recommendations that governments can choose whether to follow through on. Most governments don't. #auspol #royalcommissions

I wonder how the fearful and hateful American Christian right feel about the last sentence. There is a marked lack of goodness and compassion in Trump's evolving theocracy. #america #religion

Yep. All you members of the Christian sect. Your boy was a Palestinian. He is also one of the most important prophets in Islam. He would like that, even if you don't. #christ #jesus #islam

"The idea that any criticism of Israel and the Israeli government – including through protests, social media posts, or boycotts – are inherently antisemitic is a total fallacy. No government is beyond reproach."

When knives kill they are banned. When guns kill they are banned. When the government perceives social media is harmful it is banned

When science proves beyond doubt that fossil fuels are destroying the planet and every human being on it, the government subsidises the industry

Imagine a nation that is so insular, and so stupid, that it's people know nothing of the wider world. Imagine if that country was powerful and ruled by a mad man. Just sayin'. #USA #America

So, Bumyabby Joyce attended the failed PAF rally in Sydney today. We can now add racist fuckwit to his CV. It never ceases to amaze me how complete buffoons and dunderheads can be elected to parliament. #auspol #racism #bigots

This is what the media should show. Messages of unity & hope from survivors. Despite that it’s not the answer this Sky News journo was seeking. #auspol #Bondi

The terrorist attack in Bondi and the genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestine are both acts of hate and evil. Dear @albomp.bsky.social, how about you work to defeat all hate and bigotry, rather than singling a special part of the population out for special care. #auspol

I wonder if @albomp.bsky.social or @senatorwong.bsky.social would like to explain to the Australian public why we need to be in bed with this madman and his mad nation. It's time to rethink and realign, but @australianlabor.bsky.social lacks the brains and courage to do so. #aukus #auspol
The blockade of Venezuela is a disgusting echo of U.S. imperialism in Latin America. We were lied to about Iraq and WMDs, and an entire generation paid the price.

Here we are again.

We cannot let a wannabe dictator drag us into another forever war.

The escalation exerts unprecedented pressure on the Maduro regime, threatening to bankrupt Venezuela's already struggling economy.
