@aapfactcheck.bsky.social reports that a popular FB page sharing AI-generated videos of Australian women protesting against immigration is actually being operated from Sri Lanka. Excellent report by @nikdirga.bsky.social. #auspol #immigration #racism www.aap.com.au/factcheck/fo...

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested. I remember when the FBI asked to interview Andrew re Epstein's crimes and Andrew's own crimes against children, the UK Met Police refused to investigate or cooperate. But he's now arrested over sharing UK Govt secrets?! 😠 #RoyalFamily #justice #UKpolitics #UKlaw

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Is "misconduct in public office" code for raping children? I remember when the FBI asked to interview Andrew re Epstein's crimes, the UK Met Police refused to investigate or cooperate 😠 #RoyalFamily #justice #UKpolitics

Superb 3RRR #SpinCycle 19Feb26 as hosts @jessielilley.bsky.social and @theshufflediary.bsky.social discuss the career of Pauline Hanson and the complicity of the Australian mainstream media for platforming her, without critiquing her. #auspol #racism #Islamophobia www.rrr.org.au/player-items...

Rick Argent on Theads didn't like my post criticising Pauline Hanson for her anti-Muslim hatespeech. Reported and blocked. #auspol

Reposted by Karen O’Leary

Imagine the outrage if a Federal MP asked "Show me a good Jew!" Yet Pauline Hanson can rptedly vilify the Australian Muslim community by asking "Show me a good Muslim!" Shouldn't she be charged under the new hatespeech laws?! #auspol #Islamophobia

In this @womensagenda.bsky.social piece, @profjmcadam.bsky.social & Thomas Mulder explain why Australia needs a plan to repatriate citizens detained in Syria and what international law requires. #auspol #HumanRights womensagenda.com.au/latest/why-a...
Why Australia needs a plan to repatriate citizens detained in Syria
Australia’s refusal to repatriate 34 women and children detained in Syria’s al-Roj camp raises serious human rights concerns.

Saddened to hear actor Robert Duvall (1931-2026) has died. I enjoyed his performances in so many films. One you mightn't know: Detective Martin Prendergast in "Falling Down" (1993) opposite Michael Douglas. The contrast in masculinity between the 2 characters is worth studying. #film πŸŽ₯

3RRR Thurs 7pm-8pm #SpinCycle
Hosts @jessielilley.bsky.social @theshufflediary.bsky.social & @rachelwithers.bsky.social discuss the news. Intelligent, informed, engaging, entertaining conversation. Highly recommend. πŸ“» #auspol #journalism

Israel
β€’ ongoing #GazaGenocide
β€’ increased violence and expanded illegal settlements in the West Bank
β€’ new laws enforcing the death penalty on Palestinians
β€’ sprays poison across Lebanon

The Australian Albanese Govt refuses to rebuke, condemn or sanction Israel. 😠 #auspol #IsraelTerroristState

I always laugh as Pauline Hanson says "Strayans're very upset ..." re whatever issue is her latest fake outrage story. (A few months ago it was grocery bags!) #auspol

It's disturbing to see the Australian politicians who posted a greeting on social media for Lunar New Year (Tue 17Feb26) and Ash Wednesday for Christians (Wed 18Feb26) but no greeting for Australian Muslims beginning their holy month of Ramadan today (Wed 18Feb26). πŸ˜” #auspol #NSWpol #RamadanMubarak

The hatred & bigotry towards Muslims from Pauline Hanson is next level. She rptedly says she's worried if "Gia Hadd" is called. Personally, I don't have Gia's phone number.

If you can't even pronounce the terms correctly, or know what they mean, just shut the hell up. 😠 #auspol

For all Christians who celebrate Ash Wednesday, wishing you a blessed Ash Wednesday and a meaningful start to the Lenten season. May these forty days bring reflection, renewal, and strengthened faith. #AshWednesday

To all Muslims, as you begin the month of #Ramadan, May your fasts be blessed and your prayers be answered. May the holy month of Ramadan bring you, your family and your community abundant blessings, inner peace, and greater knowledge of Allah. 🀲 #RamadanMubarak

Yes, Albo posted on Twitter an image of a letter regarding the start of Ramadan. No video.

AUS PM @albomp.bsky.social tweeted a personal video wishing all Australians a #HappyLunarYear on Tue 17Feb26. Good. Wed 18Feb26 is the start of #Ramadan for Muslims. No video. Just a text. So much for #SocialCohesion. 😠 #auspol #RamadanMubarak #Ramadan2026

Western governments are aligned with the US and Israel.
Their people are not.
1.Why has this fascistic western political alliance come about
2.How it came about

1. So we understand how to bring it down and whom to focus on
2. So itβ€˜s never allowed to happen again.

In the #AvengersInfinityWar post-credit scene, Nick Fury disappears due to Thanos' snap. It's kinda sweet that in his last words, he's thinking of his mother. 😊 πŸŽ₯ #MCU

My favourite protest song against Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza is STILL "1 Year of Genocide" by BBOBBYY. Perhaps Albo, Minns and Wong could watch & listen. 🎢 #auspol #NSWpol #GazaGenocide

Israel murders men, women & children in Gaza. Israel targets journalists, surgeons, doctors, nurses, medics, uni lecturers, teachers. Israeli snipers shoot children in the head. The displaced are burned alive in tents. And STILL the AUS Govt refuses to act. πŸ˜” #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide

I'm tired of commentators (eg. Piers Morgan) claiming the mid-term results will see Trump's influence wane. Srsly? He's STILL the President. He can still use executive orders to push his agenda. And he's STILL a narcissistic wannabe dictator surrounded by sycophants, supported by billionaires. #USA

If one of Angus Taylor's staffers brought him this object and told him it was the internet, I think there's a chance Angus Taylor would not only believe them but send a thank you note to Malcolm Turnbull for being allowed to borrow it. #auspol #TheITcrowd

If you're looking for quality scifi TV, I highly recommend #Humans. Intelligent, thoughtful tv, excellent ideas and characters, superb performances by the entire ensemble cast. 24eps across 3 seasons. Avail. free on TenPlay. #SciFi πŸ“Ί

"The Mandalorian and Grogu" (2026) hits cinemas on May 22. Why wouldn't they release it on May the Fourth?! πŸ™„ #StarWars

Reminder: May 2021. Then Liberal Govt MP Tim Wilson joined a run in support of Indigenous Australians, leading the pack ... for the first 100m as it left Parliament House. Then, when the tv cameras stopped filming, he turned and went back to his office. πŸ™„ #auspol

40yrs ago this week, Artists United Against Apartheid song "Sun City" was No4 on the AUS music charts. The song was part of a global campaign for a cultural boycott of apartheid South Africa. So, in 2026, why can't there be a similar campaign to boycott Israel? #IsraelTerroristState #FreePalestine
