If NSW Premier Chris Minns introduces legislation giving ONE minority religious group gun access privileges that OTHER minority religious groups don't have (nor the rest of the public), wouldn't that conflict with:
β’ the PM's push for tighter gun laws
β’ equality of legal rights? π€ #nswpol #auspol

NB: April 2024: Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom was murdered by Israel in a targeted air strike on a World Central Kitchen aid convoy that was clearly identified and following IDF instructions. Australia imposed no sanctions on Israel and expelled no Israeli diplomats. #IsraeliTerrorism #auspol
Recently, Trump received the inaugural FIFA Peace Prize. Now, Israeli PM Netanyahu has announced Trump is to receive the Israel Prize!
Maybe Australia should jump on the fawning adulation bandwagon. Albo could award Trump the inaugural Fair Dinkum True Blue Mateship Award. π #USPolitics #auspol

Only a couple of days to decide. So, who will Trump kiss on NYE? Netanyahu or Putin? π€ #USPolitics #GazaGenocide #PutinPuppet

Recently on Twitter, I've had people hijack my pro-Palestine tweets by either replying to or quote-tweeting me with irrelevant, offensive (and at times antisemitic) rants. To be clear: I am anti-genocide, not anti-Jewish. I am pro-Palestine, not pro-bigotry. Block, block, block. π #FreePalestine
When our mainstream news media reports on Australia's close friendship with Israel, they don't mention that in 2010 Israel forged Australian passports so Mossad agents could assassinate Palestinians in Dubai. Israel has zero respect for Australia. #auspol #IsraeliTerrorism
Zionism is vile. If you watch videos of Israelis on social media, their hatred for Palestinians is insane. Not just IDF soldiers but Israeli civilians. The Israeli settler violence in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, supported by the Israeli Govt, soldiers and police reveals a hateful nationalism.
I wonder if AUS PM Anthony Albanese and Oppn Leader Sussan Ley are on an unspoken unity ticket, supported by the mainstream news media, to push a false narrative that political parties and independents who support a #FreePalestine are somehow antisemitic. All to protect their duopoly. π€ #auspol
Every single time Zelenskyy is to meet with Trump, Trump has a call with Putin beforehand to get instructions on what he should say and do. Trump doesn't even hide the fact that he's Putin's puppet anymore. #USPolitics #SlavaUkraini #IStandWithUkraine πΊπ¦

Israeli forces are targeting journalists' families in a war to silence Palestinian reporting. At least 706 family members have been killed, according to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate aje.io/pkapjm

I'm now getting these ads in my FB feed. Do they know I'm pro-Palestine? I expect we'll see a major push by mainstream media "celebrating Judaism" (in order to push a pro-Israel, anti-Palestine narrative). Don't stop talking about Israel's crimes. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine
Outstanding commentary from the Australian Palestine Advocacy Network's Nasser Mashni. Intelligent, informed, nuanced. Clear and factual. Opposing Zionism or critiquing Israel is not antisemitism #auspol #nswpol #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

I had an Israeli Web friend (gay male nudist) for some time. He was an IDF veteran. When I complained about the IDF targeted attacks on Palestine civilians, killing thousands of innocents, he called ME a Nazi before blocking me. I've been complaining about this since the 1988.
I adore the breathtakingly talented Brooke Satchwell. She was absolutely brilliant in "Mr Inbetween" (2018-2021). Now I have to consider getting a subscription to Stan so I can watch the series "Dear Life" (2026). π€ πΊ
Israel has ranked lowest in the Nation Brands Index. Again. Australia's own reputation would improve if we actively opposed Israel's crimes with sanctions (rather than selling them arms). Long-term: it'd benefit Israel, Palestine, Lebanon too. It'd benefit our trade & tourism #auspol #SanctionIsrael
Yes! Australia's own global reputation would be greatly enhanced if we actively opposed Israel's crimes with sanctions (rather than selling them arms). Long-term: it'd benefit Israel, Palestine, Lebanon too. And it'd benefit us in trade & tourism. Albo must know this. #auspol #SanctionIsrael
Israel has ranked lowest in the Nation Brands Index (NBI) for the second consecutive year. The NBI assesses countries' global reputations across six areas: its people, tourism, culture, immigration, exports and governance.

Superb @nswsocialists.bsky.social video explains: In NSW, the Chris Minns Labor Govt has done a deal with the Liberals, changing workers' compensation rights, increasing the threshold for "permanent impairment" from 15% to 25% for psychological injury! A Labor Govt did this. π #nswpol #WorkersRights
Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is a prominent Palestinian pediatrician and the former director of the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza who has been arbitrarily detained by Israeli forces since 27Dec2024, and held w/o charge now for a year. #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine
A whistle-blower has revealed that BBC presenters are under editorial instruction to protect Israel's reputation. I wonder if, here in Australia, presenters on our ABC have similar editorial instructions from senior management. π€ #IsraeliTerrorism #GazaGenocide #FreePalestine #JournalismMatters
