We don't need a more competent, less embarrassing Zionist in this special envoy role. Because the role is to quash opposition to a genocide. Scrap the whole authoritarian project completely, and then, if you want, appoint First Nations elders as an all-forms anti-racism envoy

📢 Protest Advice - Tear Gas 🪧
If you are protesting tomorrow - this video has great advice for preparing for and responding to tear gas. No makeup, contacts, etc.
If you live near a protest site - consider placing buckets of clean water outside your home so protestors have easy access. 🪣

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

10 years after gas exports from Queensland began, all of the gas companies involved, bar one, have not paid a cent in company tax.
This is despite them selling $125 billion worth of LNG out of Queensland, and reporting $330 billion in total Australian revenue. #auspol
