Hamas calls for Oct 7th investigation.

Israel rejects one despite its own citizens requesting it.

The Oct Council, representing 200 bereaved Israeli families, said the state is "burying the truth.”

Yet no reporting of this in Europe.

What on earth could Israel be hiding?

This is intentional division One Nation are pushing. Looking around our communities and deciding people don’t belong because they look different is a step before what ICE is doing. It’s seeking a future where we see enemies not friends and neighbours. We will always oppose this.

It’s going to be an interesting few weeks when the royal commission examines, as I suspect it will, the defraying of social cohesion caused by the organised censorship of writers, artists and employees across the country for daring to speak against an unfolding genocide

Because Iran has been invading countries constantly since WW2 and stealing resources under the guise of bringing democracy to those countries.
Wait! My mistake, that was the US doing all the invading. They, the US, are the threat to peace in every country that has oil, steel or rare minerals.
The West has done everything it can to crush Iranian self-determination for over a century now, and yet they keep peddling the idea that they can somehow bomb us into freedom. It would be laughable if it weren't so terrifying.

The US will say it’s to stop drugs and for democracy - and the Nobel peace prize winner will take over - and she’ll give the Trump family and all their mates Venezuala’s oil and critical minerals - and the Aust Government will support it.

Hope I’m wrong. #auspol

Trump is starting a war with Venezuela to sidetrack the news cycle from the Epstein files. It’s unfathomable that the people around Trump aren’t able to manage this dangerous, mentally unfit, psychopathic president. All his supporters have blood on their hands.

Murder, kidnapping, theft, greed and arrogance - Trump’s war on Venezuela is all of this. The US is a brutal and dangerous ‘ally’ that Australia, and the rest of the world, needs to protect itself from

You would think one fucking Very Serious Commentator would’ve realised this by now, but seems no
It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

This is from the court filing. We know for a fact that CSG told an Australian soldier to disobey direct orders and lie to his superiors - to put them and Israel above his oath to this country.

And Minns wants to give them permission to be their own official armed police force here. This is fucked.

Here's one - given the likely wave of pandemics caused by RFK Jnr and his henchfolk, when will the govt require vaccination proofs before entry to Australia. America is demanding visa-holders show social media history; our regulations should be smarter.

This new report on digital inclusion shows 1 in 5 Australians are digitally excluded, it's 40% for First Nations people, 45% for public housing residents, 67% for older Australians. As services move online, digital exclusion = exclusion from healthcare, education & opportunity.
