Israel is a nuclear armed genocidal rogue state.
It is allowed to commit every war crime under the sun - armed and facilitated by the West.
Yet you hear so few people saying these truths on TV.

Another dumb headline from the pathetic fence-sitters that pretend to be journalists. Trump doesn't want to restrain Netanyahu. He has given him the green light to do whatever he wants.
Trump can't restrain Netanyahu from fulfilling his ambitions on Iran: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-13/israel-iran-netanyahu-strike-nuclear-sites/105414830

Protecting Israel is Netanyahu's brand, and being a strong man is something he wants to project to his constituents.

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off.
This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive".
We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

The North West Shelf extension is a disaster.
It will release more pollution each year than all of Australia’s coal stations combined, threaten ancient Murujuga rock art, and deliver $0 to the public purse.
Yet Labor approved it anyway.

Sanctions are a start but we need action to stop the genocide - that means ending the two-way arms trade and cancelling the $2 billion of weapons contracts the Australian Government has with Israeli companies

The biggest problem with the ALP right now is it is led by someone who irrationally hates the Greens.
He doesn't really like to "fight Tories"; he loves to fight the party that reveals his actual lack of "left-wing" positions.
Someone needs to tell him to get over his uni politics crap.

“The business model of coal and gas companies is based on demand assumptions that are wholly inconsistent with preventing catastrophic levels of global warming. By giving these companies approval to expand their operations, the Australian govt is telling all of us it expects this outcome too.”

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%.
At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

10 years after gas exports from Queensland began, all of the gas companies involved, bar one, have not paid a cent in company tax.
This is despite them selling $125 billion worth of LNG out of Queensland, and reporting $330 billion in total Australian revenue. #auspol
