Peta Credlin is happy?
That's NOT a good sign.

3yo Ali Hassan Jaber and his father Hassan Jaber were killed in an Israeli strike on a car in south Lebanon. Israel claims it struck a Hezbollah “terrorist” in the attack but UN peacekeepers say it has not seen evidence of Hezbollah in the border region. #IsraelTerroristState #LebanonUnderAttack

Will the Liberal Party choose a woman candidate for the Farrer by-election caused by Sussan Ley's resignation from Parliament? Note: Ley suffered a 10.2% swing away from the Liberal Party in the 2025 Federal election. #auspol #LibSpill #FarrerByelection #AusVotes2025

Dear @chrisminnsmp.bsky.social
If you're so committed to honouring #AnzacDay (and our war dead), did you ask Israeli President Isaac Herzog about the IDF bulldozing Allied war graves in the #GazaWarCemetery? These graves had been protected by a Palestinian family for over 100 years! #nswpol #auspol

Fun fact: American actor/singer Ted Neeley, who played Jesus in "Jesus Christ Superstar" (1973), has a small role at the very end of the film #DjangoUnchained (2012). He is one of the trackers killed by Django in their cabin (2h35m40s). #film 🎥

I support UN Special Rapporteur for the Occupied Palestinian Territories
@franceskalbs.bsky.social. I admire her principled, courageous stand against Israel's ongoing persecution of the Palestinian people. #IStandWithFrancescaAlbanese #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Thank you, John. Yes, I have.
I'll delete and repost. 🙏

I fear at their core, they're racist. I say this bc I see them display the same callous disregard for asylum-seekers & refugees, plus the lives of Pacific island nations. #auspol #racism

The LNP have cleverly responded to what brought them massive electrol defeat by doing more of the same. Great job Angus.

#DjangoUnchained (2012) is available free on #SBSonDemand for another 16hrs. Every time I watch it, I notice more moments of seething fury at the #racism. (I realise not everyone agrees this is a great film. For me, it's a reminder that this evil still exists.) 🎥 www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/mov...

Remember when Jane Hume said on Ch7's Sunrise that Chinese Australians manning polling booths for Labor at the 2025 Federal election were "Chinese spies"? She's now the Deputy Liberal Leader. 🙄 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #racism

I don't recall anyone from the Australian Zionist Lobby condemning the failed bomb attack on the #InvasionDay rally in Perth on 26Jan. Or condemning the unprovoked violence by NSW Police at the #SydneyProtest on 09Feb. So much for #SocialCohesion. Interesting. 🤔 #auspol #nswpol #FreePalestine

Trump named the "Undisputed Champion of Beautiful Clean Coal"! I assumed this was a parody news item by the @chaser.com.au team or the @betootaadvocate.bsky.social. But, no! This is real. #USA #FossilFuels #ClimateCrisis #uspoli

I attended the #SydneyProtest against the #HerzogVisit. I experienced & witnessed unprovoked police violence against people who were being completely cooperative. I am appalled by NSW Premier Chris Minns' defiant response to criticism. I signed this petition. #auspol #nswpol

38 yrs after "Two Strong Hearts" was filmed in QLD, one of it's most memorable lyrics may soon be outlawed in the Sunshine State. Whilst it's still legal - here's Farnsey in full 80s mullet glory - and featuring the v naughty words 🍉🍉🍉 | Prints/tees: tinyurl.com/juudj7p6

Stylised pop art illustration of John Farnham in his signature 80s blonde mullet, smiling broadly against a summery blue background with palm trees. He holds a pink watermelon cocktail. The artwork includes the text “Two Strong Hearts, Reaching Out Forever Like A River To The Sea.”

Bethany, It's wonderful when we can see a classic film on the big screen that we've only ever seen on TV as a kid or on DVD. A couple of years ago, I finally saw "The Towering Inferno" (1974) on the big screen at the Hayden Orpheum. It was epic! 🎥

What worries me is that the #racism and anti-Muslim hate is now being actively promoted by One Nation, the LNP, Labor, and the mainstream news media, and it's being promoted as "legitimate concerns". Plus the lack of comcern or interest for the #InvasionDayAttack. 😔 #auspol #SydneyProtest

NSW Police admit the Muslim men had received police permission to pray during the Sydney protest before they were disrupted by officers!

Imagine the media outrage if this had been a Jewish group or a group of Catholic nuns! #SydneyProtest

Powerful, beautiful, gracious speech by a grieving widow, Kelly McMahon (Paniagua), on behalf of her husband Julian McMahon, thanking the film's cast and crew, his family, and his country. Incredible, heartbreaking dignity. 😢 #TheSurfer #AACTA #JulianMcMahon 🎥
