7-year-old Jouri Islam Al-Soufi was one of at least 5 Palestinians Israel killed in Gaza on Monday. Israel has killed over 1559 people in Gaza during the 'ceasefire', but according to United States, European Union etc this doesn't break the ceasefire. Only the deaths of Israelis would.

ICYMI an Israeli company hijacked online ads to track millions of devices and open the door to zero-click spyware, with our nuclear science agency, critical infrastructure and newsrooms compromised. This is a big deal.

365 days have passed since I left home and commenced a #WorkFromRoam lifestyle. What’s the experience been like, and what have I learned? Being isolated, but everywhere at the same time. Being on my own, but courting a lot. Here’s my story👇. #inspire

Australia is a leading global ‘petrostate’ We aren’t a renewable energy superpower & nor is the government legislating the sorts of policies which would ‘make us one’. The PM is lying when he uses this term. We should be boycotted condemned and shamed #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

johnmenadue.comHow fossil fuel interests keep Australia locked into coal and gasLobbying, political donations, revolving doors and appeals to jobs and national prosperity have helped keep coal and gas embedded in Australia’s political system and public imagination.

Asked about calls for budget discipline and cutting spending, Pocock replied: “You can make cuts, or you can grow revenue. I don’t understand why we’re slugging everyday Aussies and yet we’re happy to export gas for free.” What's remarkable is not Pocock's position, but that it isn't Labor's.

I'd filed a Hanson/ Lambie cartoon for today but it seemed a bit tin eared with what's happened in Indi so I did a new, last minute one this morning. I had a few ideas about division & dark days but thought I'd focus on something that's bringing people together instead. Here's to Helen Haines.

I saw the part of the video where ON mock Jacqui Lambie and her health condition (pelvic floor prolapse). It is absolutely disgusting. Every politician should call this vile video out. Pauline Hanson needs to step up and apologise and have the video removed from all platforms.

Madeleine King is living proof of the shit-faced mess Australia’s climate policies are in. MK, is a policy decision Our gov doesn’t release any scientific research underpinning policies for scientific review. They lie obfuscate manipulate & gaslight #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

AUKUS. A classic Ponzi scheme relies on early investors putting up hard cash to sustain a structure built on non-existent or undeliverable assets. The scheme survives only as long as capital keeps flowing and no participant calls time on the underlying insolvency. 2/

Marles is a pathetic Trump and Hegseth fan. If he can't see the writing on the wall regarding AUKUS, God help Australia if the USA orders Australia to participate in any further wars the US may start.

OPINION “Australia is pouring billions into #USA & #UK submarine industries while both countries struggle to meet their own naval needs. The risk is that #AUKUS leaves Australia without the submarines it was promised.” “Risk”? Insert “certainty”? 🪿 Mugs. We. Are.🪿 #Trump #auspol shorturl.at/2NolV

theaimn.net/democracy-fo... Australia, like many nations around the world, has failed to implement climate policies that are consistent with the dire warnings of climate scientists. One of the key reasons for that has been a barrage of lobbying from big corporations.

And I hope this is a picture of the two of them feeling it in their bones, particularly how eternally damning it is to let themselves be corporate captured by fossil interests

Looking at #ukpol from afar, I’m struck by the completeness of Starmer’s disappearance. I’ve seen no assessments of his record, favorable or not. He appears more as a zero starting point, against which Burnham can be rated. A year ago, he had a massive majority and an iron grip on the Labour Party

Had 2 FOIs rejected by the Attorney-General's Dept under the rarely used s26(2) - all docs totally exempt from FOI. The docs relate to interference by the former AG, on two seperate occasions, in the appointment process for NACC Dep Com positions. Have appealed both decisions.

Apparently APS in certain departments are required to attend antisemitism training. Tax payer funds are being used to pay for APS to attend training where they are being told that it “hurts the feelings” of Jewish people (I.e. Jewish Zionists) to say that a genocide is being committed by Israel.
