THREAD 💭

Yesterday, after 24 hours of silence, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stood in the Blue Room and publicly backed US President Donald Trump’s bombing of Iranian uranium enrichment facilities. He said Iran mustn’t be allowed to obtain a nuclear weapon and “we support action to prevent that”
June 24, 2025 at 5:36 AM
Former minister now backbencher Ed Husic says the Albanese govt “can and should be doing more” on Gaza. Says:
- Israeli ambassador should be called in & more aid demanded
- financial aid should be ramped up
- prepare targeted sanctions on Israeli leaders

It is frustrating to hear UN commissioner, Chris Sidoti, say it may take until the end of the year to release their determination of genocide in Gaza however I really appreciated this in depth conversation from @nourhaydar.bsky.social on today’s Full Story.

It’s my interview with British-Australian doctor Mohammed Mustafa who recently returned from Gaza where he had volunteered at Al Ahli hospital.

You’ll want to listen to this one in quiet and private.

Such a heartbreaking interview this one...

"We are storytellers..."

(All Oz storytellers should weep at the course of events in the Sabsabi affair...and that it was simply allowed to stand...)
In his first interview since being dumped as Australia’s representative for the Venice Biennale, I sat down with artist Khaled Sabsabi to discuss the damage done by Creative Australia, and the furore over two historical works.
