This week's Sunday Shot is up. @instanterudite.bsky.social and I talk with @marquelawyers.com.au and Cheek Media's Hannah Fergusson about the criminalisation of protest, art, and fascism www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rko2...

Nike has cancelled fmr AOTY Grace Tame as a brand ambassador because of pro-Palestinian posts?! So, Nike opposes human rights and supports genocide?! Good to know. #IStandWithGrace #BoycottNike #RecognisePalestine #FreePalestine

Interesting that 'resilience teaching' has failed in schools ... couldn't one reason for that be that 'resilience' isn't a cure for bullying, or bad teaching, or a trauma that nobody has helped with? Kids are told to 'learn resilience' when it's often the stressors that really need to change.

Oh look. Another bribery and extortion scheme.

There is no gas shortage in Australia. We don't need new gas wells. We just need to stop big gas taking the piss. We've got this ad in the papers today ⤵️

We're hearing that Monash Vice Chancellor Sharon Pickering personally made the decision to cancel Khaled Sabsabi's exhibition after a phone call from Sarah Henderson. Care to comment, @monashuniversity.bsky.social? It would behove you respond as your reputation implodes...

The utter cowardice of these people is despicable. I know they tell themselves it's because someone is "controversial" or that it's to protect the university or whatever they need to make themselves believe but it's just craven gutlessness and absolutely disgusting

'We were saddened to find out there wasn't as much antisemitism as we'd hoped..'

Why are there so many big cars on our roads? Many sole traders who do not traditionally require larger cars – like graphic designers – have taken advantage of tax breaks that apply to big utes. Our analysis found there were at least 1.5 utes registered for every technical or trades worker in Aus.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

Zionist McCarthyism strikes again. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

In Australia, the wealthy also control our mainstream news media, to promote their own business interests. Australians need to boycott Seven (Stokes), Nine, and NewsCorp (Murdoch). #auspol #journalism #media

Zionist lobby groups & media tried to manufacture an antisemitism scandal at Cairo Takeaway in Sydney, but the staged provocation backfired. This incident reveals how Zionist agitators and complicit media outlets work hand in hand to fabricate anti-Semitism. #auspol

Further to this, the Americans working on Dutton's campaign have form as masters of dis and misinformation, narrowly and personally targeted through social media. This is what they did with the Voice and this is what they'll be doing now. Labor really, REALLY needs to lift its game

Top column today! @jennaprice.bsky.social www.smh.com.au/national/i-k...

The media has focused more on polling in the past 2 days than it has on policy for the entire past 3 years. Journalists get incredibly excited about the horse race. Means they don't have to do any work.

At the risk of sounding like a drip, ABC editorial standards have gotten very weird. This isn’t even a hard get, Pezzullo was in The Aus last week. The obsession with hiring ex Sky/News people is giving us the same stories already in those outlets?

@lenoret.bsky.social l was doing my check in at @australia.theguardian.com and no l wont be renewing my subscription to still find out what the opposition thinks. News blogs have to reinvent the live format and headlines to stop being used as part of political strategy.

Dave's done it again. Here's my cartoon for the piece.

The sacking of Peter Lalor over pro-Palestine social media posts has sparked a boycott from journalists. That's great. But what we also need from journalists is more focus on the lobby groups who appear to be in charge of staffing decisions at media bodies. www.crikey.com.au/2025/02/05/p...

Props to the non-Spender teals for voting against mandatory sentencing. Re-writing criminal laws because of votes in specific marginal seats feels like the worst possible way to do things.

Each time people are sacked and blackballed , social cohesion is undermined. Social cohesion can only exist when differences of political opinion are embraced.

The McCarthyism in Australia continues. A long list of journalists, academics, artists, many others who have been targeted because they oppose Israel’s genocide. Facilitated by most of the media and political establishment. www.smh.com.au/sport/cricke...

Appalling decision by the PM. He has denied, delayed, and now decided to do nothing. He has caved to lobbying from the gambling industry, and it’s our young people who will pay the price. www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...

Dynamite opening par from Grace Tame in @crikey.com.au "According to Anthony Albanese, decrying the Murdoch empire is more disrespectful than destabilising democracies, destroying the planet, disinforming the public and dodging millions of dollars in taxes for decades."

It’s been a grueling 14-month ordeal, but this fight is bigger & more important than me. It’s essential to expose abuses of power given ongoing harm & human rights atrocities Australians also deserve an independent & accountable ABC Federal court: Feb 3 DONATE: www.gofundme.com/f/antoinette...

“If we want to rebuild social cohesion, we must embrace nuance. And nuance requires more than what politicians seem capable of giving us… Let’s start crossing the “either/or” line of supporting only one side and assert justice for both.” - Tim Costello www.smh.com.au/national/ant...
