Wow
The Australian PMs loyalty is first and foremost to Australians.
Australians are appalled by Netanyahu and his genocidal policies.

You don't need to be familiar with trials to know that this is a combination of hilariously funny and embarrassing, with a touch of white boy privilege writ large.

The man is a "national joke" because he is an adjudicated rapist, a liar and a train wreck.

Nobody else but him is to blame for that.

We denied a visa to a known trouble making Israeli, just as Home Affairs has denied visas to thousands of people like him.

That's not aggression, that's legal sovereignty and responsible government.

Nobody in Australia's govt went on social media & attacked a nation's leader.

Israel did. #pffft

This horse shit from the pro-Israel lobby is, as usual, horse shit.

There is no "spat". What on earth are Jillian & her mates on about?

A "spat" is a squabble between two parties. Two parties.

There is only one party arguing here - Israel.

And there is only one aggressor here - Israel.

Netanyahu is a criminal, wanted by the ICC for war crimes.

No world leaders should communicate with him.

Netanyahu lashed Albanese. The far-right Liberal Party blamed Albanese, instead of asking why we have any diplomatic relationship with a war criminal

QLD firefighters will join teachers & nurses in protected strike action as the QLD LNP government fails to reach a wage deal with yet another union .

We haven’t had strike action en masse in QLD for years. The LNP spend millions in self-promotion, but don’t want to pay workers what they are worth.

Not 90k

200k - 300k people (me included)

In pouring rain
New, amazing footage of 90,000 people on Sydney Harbour Bridge, marching to end the genocide in Gaza.

A protest the city and New South Wales authorities did NOT want to happen.

Thank you Sydney 💛
🇵🇸

Almost 2 years of sitting on the fence & looking the other way, Australian media is today reckoning with the fact that showing basic sympathy towards the starving and war-weary people of Gaza is actually a very mainstream sentiment.

The gulf between popular opinion and policy on Palestine in country after country is unreal.

The establishment parties around the world are torching their credibility with voters, and for what? To help Israel commit genocide?

I honestly can't understand it
Sydney turning out in support of Palestine. So good to see.
