One of the most damaging and enduring aspects of the Dismissal, fifty years ago today, was its poisoning of the electorate against the Whitlam government, ensuring that it would lose the subsequent election and creating fear of progressive government.

Will this judicial death penalty be in addition to the long established extra-judicial death penalty of 100 Palestinian lives for every Israeli killed by a Palestinian?
"Australia has, to its credit, been a global leader in opposing the death penalty.
...So if Israel passes this horrific death penalty law, it is yet another reason for Canberra to end its timidity and impose sanctions on this rogue state." @barnsgreg.bsky.social

OFFICIAL – Israel’s proposed death-penalty law is a war crime
Not satisfied it seems with the continued genocide of Palestinians, Israel is now looking to execute Palestinian prisoners by introducing a death penalty law.

This photo will remind Australians of our former Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, who responded to criticism of him being on vacation in Hawaii while major bushfires raged across Australia with the words “I don’t hold a hose, mate”.

For the moment. In a few months, I suspect that a more severe punishment than deportation will be the rule
The perpetrators of genocide are basically all the same, aren't they?
Nazi Germany executed those who spoke out against them.
The USA kidnaps, imprisons and 'deports' them.

Australian singer-songwriter John Williamson has spoken out against the racist March for Australia rallies using his song "True Blue". Interesting that in this report, Ch9's Today Show STILL referred to them only as "anti-immigration" rallies. John Williamson knows what they are. #NoRoomForRacism

So the National Press Club - an association of journalists - doesn't wanna talk about all the journalists being deliberately targeted and murdered during a genocide because . . . it might upset the people that are targeting and murdering the journalists who were reporting on a genocide?

Looks like @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social got the "Iran" memo from Washington and "credible evidence" from Mossad a couple of days earlier than @Keir_Starmer.

The media is now claiming that Iran is determined to commit an atrocity on UK soil. Let's be clear: Iran would have absolutely nothing to gain from an attack that would likely result in a war against Iran. The only country that would gain from such an attack would be Israel.
