Lover of nature, dogs, and pointless arguments on the internet. Simultaneously fascinated with politics and repulsed by its sheer stupidity. Leftie, but not tied to any party. Free Palestine.
On the day that tens of thousands of people across the country march in protest against the genocides in Gaza, the SMH instead gives higher billing to the feelings of a ghoulish genocide denier. Interesting editorial decision...

UK to recognise Palestine as a state unless Israel commits to ending the military offensive (i.e. the genocide) and commits to peace based on a two state solution.
Albo's dithering on the issue is becoming more and more untenable by the day.
Grow a spine PM. Action now.

Apparently hatred directed against women and people of colour is a "tomorrow" problem that will only arise if we don't address anti-semitism today, according to the SMH.

Yes, if we don't stop criticising Israel, women and people of colour might suffer tomorrow. Apparently the deaths of 78 women last year due to domestic violence doesn't quite cut it for today. Good grief.

Whilst we're publishing images that mainstream media won't, here is the most recent satellite imagery of Rafah (and the out of date satellite imagery Google Maps wants us to believe it looks like):

Amazing how easy it is to get immediate satellite imagery of these strikes, but it's still nigh on impossible to get satellite imagery of the genocide in Gaza after 20 months of bombardment.

You let Israel raze a city home to 250,000 people without comment (let alone sanction) and NOW you expect them to show restraint?

So the man who vigorously opposed a legislated framework so that parliament could LISTEN to the voices of indigenous Australians, is apparently a caring listener... Sure Kirilly, sure.

When people talk about anti-semitism and Islamophobia not being given equal footing in our media, this is exactly what we're talking about. If this story was about a synagogue threat, it would be the lead story, not buried halfway down the page under a story about north-shore school catchments.

Can we please stop using language that normalises a plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza? If you're not calling it out for what it is, you might as well be endorsing it. @theguardian.com @australia.theguardian.com

Here's everything that's wrong with our dumb-as-bricks media in a single snapshot. They ask stupid questions, over and over, in an attempt to force a narrative, and when Albo treats them with the contempt they deserve, he gets labelled "testy".

For the record, Ayelet Shaked has called for Khan Younis to be reduced to the size of a soccer field and 2 million people to be forcibly displaced from Gaza. I couldn't give a flying fuck if we offend anyone who supports this genocidal maniac. Get fucked and fuck off.

With Trump's win the mask is fully off (as if we didn't know already).
I trust Penny Wong will have some concerns about it that she'll do absolutely nothing about.
