Fuck off Woolies for asking me at the checkout to donate to a charity when you’ve made over a billion dollars profit this year for shareholders partly from price gouging and screwing suppliers

The same group that denied our nation of more equality for First Nations people. They are so two faced.

Australians are rightly shocked and disgusted by Sussan Ley accusing the Labor govt of not showing enough grief at the Bondi attack. The sick politicisation of terrorism by the Liberals - ignoring calls for unity - has been so ugly. Days before Christmas. Shame on all of them!

We know habitat is crucial to koala survival. The Newman government allowed mass land clearing. David Crisafulli's environment minister is Andrew Powell & he was also Campbell Newman's. Dracula is in charge of the blood bank again. #qldpol www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The Australian senate heard about the problems with the National Firearms Register in 2021 before Wieambilla. The incident highlighted the problem of weapons movement across borders & officers attending properties with little or no intel. #auspol www.zdnet.com/article/acic...

Qld Premier David Crisafulli still refuses to commit to the Qld Coroner's recommendations from the Wieambilla inquest. Prior to Bondi, his ministers were meeting with firearms lobbyists. Qld LNP has collected more than $150k in donations from gun suppliers over 8 years. #qldpol

So you’re telling me a peaceful protest against genocide triggered a man who slipped through an ASIO watch list with links to ISIS who was allowed to own 6 guns in the Premier’s state to commit murder. Sounds legit

This is a terrible mistake, borne of laziness and cowardice, and will be one of Anthony Albanese's longest lasting and most destructive legacies.

Considering how we teach the Holocaust is one thing; entrenching pro-Israel ideology in our education system is a whole other thing.

Hope Advance Australia has a say in the indoctrination
Oh yes, kindergartens, those incubators of hate.

Imagine if the same approach was considered to address all forms of bigotry, or violence against women, or any of the issues that are genuinely rampant among the population.

Like the Liberal Party’s governing style, the vehicle arrived unannounced, massively inconvenienced everyone, broke a whole heap of shit and then left.

Rabbi Eli Schlanger. Every news site reports praise of him as one who brought "light, joy and love". None mentions his support for Israel's #GazaGenocide (incl. signing a missile!) or him advocating ethnic cleansing of "Arabs" from "Israel's front porch" (the West Bank)! 😲 #BondiBeach #FreePalestine

Yes, all English speaking countries suffer from bad journalism, but Australia does seem to have the lead for the most ignorant and stupid.

It comes from being so often rewarded for being so easily played by political forces.
I've never been more convinced Australia has the worst mainstream journalists in the world. Simple, thick, racist, ahistorical, bootlicking dipshits that lie and screech more than they think and feel. This weaponisation of a tragedy against anti-genocide voices is grotesque.

Fascinating chart from ‘The Great Global Transformation, the new book by economics professor @brankomilan.bsky.social, on the end of neoliberalism, the rise of China & the demise of the Political West. This shows when different countries reached their relative income peaks.

Still finding it hard to comprehend the horror on Bondi Beach. I’ve tried to respect those grieving and friends and colleagues directly affected by keeping quiet. A pity some opportunistic former and current politicians and a few media blowhards haven’t been able to do the same.
