David Shoebridge asks Penny Wong if she can give just ‘one’ example where the govt has ‘ever’ pushed back & said ‘No’ to the US’ accessing Australian military bases. Wong can’t name a single example. #auspol

Do you know what China's been doing while we've been dropping bombs and allocating more money for new weapons? Beating us on alternative energy, manufacturing, high speed rail, technology, microchips, and infrastructure.

Jewish Australian Yasmin Johnson says to claim ‘River to the sea’ is antisemitic because some Jews are offended, is a “smear on the Palestine movement” Says during the civil rights era, racist white ppl also claimed to be threatened by black ppl. Feelings weren’t the point.💥

David Pocock pauses, overcome with emotion, while detailing UN’s horrific findings against Israel “IDF has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children” “…deliberately shot at children’s limbs…as a twisted game of target practice”😔 Barbaric & sickening. This is our ally?

The documentary that the BBC refused to air - Gaza: Doctors Under Attack - won a Bafta last night. The documentary shows the targeting, detainment and torture of medics in Gaza by Israeli authorities. #Bafta #Baftas

I asked the outgoing NACC Commissioner whether he accepts responsibility for keeping his own CEO in the dark about his ongoing defence work. His answer was that his CEO had no business knowing what he was doing on the side 🤯🤯🤯 They just don't think the rules apply to them!

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand: A raucous rabble of disheveled small humans (3-6?) are playing footpath hopscotch. One's fairy wings are askew. One's wearing a bucket on his head. One's telling everyone that THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG with hilariously grumpy pomposity. (1)

Once every 25 years, whether it needs it or not Time to paint the house. It looks rundown a bit like me. This amazing young woman, sunny personality and attention to detail has brought it's 75 years to restored order and looking cared for. Now what to do for me ?

Lucy's usual excellent analysis contrasts with the shallow takes from mainstream media, who give us: - performative politics - a fixation on personalities - avoidance of big donors, hard right ideology, and global links - failure to recognize growing inequality - glib conclusions about 'populism'.

“The big money takeover of One Nation in Australia suggests it hopes to hollow out any remnants of that [working class] shell and use the carcass for the predator capitalist goals on display in abundance in MAGA’s US.” #NZpol shows how little vote % needed. #Auspol open.substack.com/pub/lucyham2...

“Trump was told exactly what would happen if he attacked Iran. The warnings were public, repeated & precise. He listened to Netanyahu, to MBS, and to the voice in his own head that craves spectacle over statecraft. Now the region is on fire and 148 schoolgirls are dead.” theaimn.net/he-was-warne...

Breaking: Sophie Scamps will boycott QT in parliament today in protest against Isaac Herzog’s visit. Says he should not be in our parliament - “with the entrance being officially lined with Israeli flags” bcoz it “normalises” Israel’s “atrocities” in Gaza. #auspol

Yet another line in the sand crossed by Albanese's Zionist Labor Party with the arrival of this war criminal in Australia. #auspol

The level of disappointment I feel for the Australian government supporting & enabling Isaac Herzog's visit is immeasurable. What happened at Bondi was a horrific terror attack & our government responds by inviting a man who incited & supported genocide to comfort the victims. Make that make sense?
