The amazing thing about Peter Dutton's claim here is that while he make it sound like a difficult task, this would actually be a slower roll-out than what was likely achieved in Australia 2024.

A quick thread with numbers:

I hope voters in Bradfield ask the Liberal Party candidate Gisele Kapterian whether she agrees with Peter Dutton voting against these Albanese Labor Govt initiatives. 👇 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #BradfieldVotes

There is "cosying up between Dutton and Leibler, and the Liberals and the local Zionist institutions".

The Israel lobby has a clear hold on our political and media class.

Time for investigative journalism on this dangerous foreign influence. #auspol

Is Dutton Receiving Pro Bono Legal Advice from Zionists Over a Racial Complaint?
Opposition leader Peter Dutton is receiving pro bono legal advice from a law firm run by a prominent Zionist, and the suspicion is it relates to a racial discrimination complaint made against him.

This is deeply undemocratic. I’ve worked with so many courageous survivors of child sexual abuse who have protested outside the churches who let them down. I've been proud to stand with them to get justice. Will Minns and Albanese now arrest them for this?

The Australian Future Fund holds more than half a billion dollars worth of shares in weapons manufacturers and war-related companies, including Israel's Elbit. That's aside from the fresh defence contract worth $917 million recently awarded to Elbit. That's your tax dollar funding war crimes.

Multinational gas giants export 80% of Australia's gas.

They use more gas running their export plants than Australia uses for electricity.

Now they're telling us we need to *import* gas. Anything but touch their hugely profitable exports!

Strange phrasing in the subheadine here. Seems to suggest a disconnect between Israeli strikes in Beirut and the Israeli killing of medical staff in the North. Israel "targets" Hezbollah, 'while' medics "reportedly killed". The English language is also a victim of this war

Media blackout as the UN Special Committee calls Israel’s actions in Gaza genocide. Meanwhile, Israel plans to annex the West Bank by 2025, bans UNRWA, and the U.S. ramps up efforts to crush the Palestinian movement. This is a full-scale assault on the very existence of Palestinians.
