White Australia Day: built on the bodies & the bones of those who died under colonialism's greed, genocide, ecocide & eugenics, yet they persisted & in 2025 asked for a Voice to Parliament. It was gleefully denied & AU mocked them by giving it to a tiny political cabal using religion as cover. 2/

I’ll be protesting against Herzog arriving in Australia. Someone signing bombs to murder Palestinians in Gaza should not be welcomed in Australia. Fuck Albo for inviting him because he couldn’t so NO to the Zionists .

Albanese’s unresisting compliance w the US and Israel show just how completely corruptable he is. We haven’t seen his lowest price for sellout of Australia b/c there isn’t one.
He simply cannot say no to them!
Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us.
Thanks for your consideration.

Also something that the Australian political and media establishment refuses to acknowledge: the existence of anti-Zionist, pro-Palestine Jews.

Whenever mainstream media talks glibly of "the Jewish community", they are excluding those who absolutely oppose the Israel lobby.
You will never see this in CNN

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage.
This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country.

Australian officials are currently trying to scheme up ways to sneak the president of Israel into the country for a visit without him getting confronted by massive anti-genocide protests.

Read that again.

When you are doing things like this, you're on the wrong side of history.

Wondering why these shark attacks are being described as "unprovoked". As opposed to provoked? Wouldn't that just be fishing?

I see the US dept of Justice will not be investigating *at all* the brownshirt who shot a woman in the face and killed her.
I hope this doesn't jeopardise our government's potential partnership in their genocidal real estate deal.

Happen to be in Richmond TAS for a couple of days, so paid a visit to the office of Senator Claire Chandler to register my displeasure about her maintaining an account with X. Her worker looked distinctly bewildered by my comments about CSAM & Grok, with a ‘what’s happening?’ look 😂 #politas #auspol

The Premier refuses to apologise to Dr Abdel-Fattah. He should. And make public his communications with the previous Festival Board. Full disclosure is essential, along with true independence of our arts & cultural institutions that refuse racism and are free of political interference.

It is - it's absolutely a political position.

Which is why anti-Zionism is absolutely not antisemitic.
Bridget McKenzie tells Sky News she understands the concerns of the Jewish community because she is a “Zionist”.

Is that a personal identity now, or just a political brand anyone can adopt? 🤔

IF a handful of wealthy Zionists can talk Albanese into self-serving ‘anti-hate’ legislation, why can’t signatures of more than half a million citizens, including 2 former PMs, convince this spineless man to conduct an inquiry into the mendacious operations of the Murdoch propaganda stable?
