ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.
We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

This guy would rather co-govern with the LNP, an otherwise irrelevant soon to be minor party, than negotiate with the Greens.
That says so much.

Do you remember the deal @albomp.bsky.social and @australianlabor.bsky.social did with the LNP remnants to establish a # NACC
…and how has that turned out?
Not hard to forecast the effect of a duopoly ‘deal’ on environmental protections (a political oxymoron)

Fascism rises, and we are caught between craven and unwilling
Here we are. Trapped between those who flirt with far-right ideologies for political gain and those unwilling to make the stand it demands.

In Australia, our major political parties are so sycophantic to the US administration, that American influence operations are overt. #auspol
Denmark's main national broadcaster reported that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in Greenland.

When are our media & arts institutions going to grow a back bone and not be spooked by lobbyist letters making vexatious and defamatory claims. Have we learned nothing ? Are these institutions more concerned about cranky letter writers than war crimes they seek to distract from?

THIS disqualifies Amir Maimon from having his credentials as Israel's ambassador accepted by the Australian government.
If our Foreign minister had any balls, she'd withdraw his accreditation and send him packing!
We don't want child killer apologists in Australia!
