Did you catch @senatorpennywong in Parliament yesterday saying Australia exports “non-lethal components and parts” for F35 bombers? F35 have been used by Israel to bomb Palestinians in Gaza, and Australia is aiding that by exporting F35 parts.

GG1 &2 chase GG3 & 4 while RLs chase GGs. All screeching at top volume. I stand by with the seed. #birds #ausbirds #chaos

Scott Reef’s a rare, unspoiled gem home to endangered sea snakes, turtles & manta rays.
But Woodside’s mammoth Browse gas project threatens it all.
The Environment Minister must act to protect this natural wonder, not to allow further damage to our climate.

Rare glimpse at stunning reef near Woodside’s gas plans
Scott Reef is, in the words of author Tim Winton, the last “unspoiled” clear-water coral reef in Australia.

No nation state is above criticism. You can criticise Israel's actions and policies without it being anti-semitic. It does not make Jewish people safer by conflating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism.

Now that numerous EU countries are pausing applications for Syrian refugees, I expect the policy-free Dutton & co will call for the same here. No policies other than division. #auspol

News Corp are waging a political campaign against Prime Minister Albanese by trying to create a political scandal by implying it is his fault the Melbourne synagogue fire occurred. This is a gross abuse of media power. But don’t expect the rest of the media to call them out for it! It’s crickets 🦗

If Peter Dutton gets his way, he shall erase First Nations from public life and consciousness completely and insist Australia has only a white history. His toxic Western colonialism mantra is set in stone. #auspol #AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe
ABC reports Dutton has said, if elected, he'll remove Indigenous flags bcuz they are "divisive"
He has absolutely no concept that the role of a leader is to bring ppl together.
Dutton makes deliberate choices to divide ppl, he's the common denominator, not the flags

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do;
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion, too.
Imagine all the people
Livin' life in peace.
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one.

I'm beginning to wonder why I've bothered to study at school & university, developed my analytical skills over 25+ yrs of work when our politicians are telling us black is white and the moon is made of cheese. Rational thought is missing from politics today. #auspol

The willingness of Aust media & politicians to use unfiltered & prejudicial comments by a corrupt Israeli PM to attack Australia's PM is truly disgusting. It's one thing having a political disagreement: quite another to undermine national sovereignty.

Wild that Australian news keeps verbatim quoting Netanyahu without routinely adding that's he's genocidal piece of shit responsible for murdering tens of thousands of children. By all means, quote what he says, but I guarantee, whatever it is, the baby-killing context is more important.
