@DavidPocock Bereton’s resignation also highlights the importance of Greens & Independent MP’s in the Parliament to ensure public interests are represented.

The resignation of Commissioner Brereton from the National Anti-Corruption Commission is a chance for a fresh start and an opportunity to rebuild public trust in an institution Australians fought so hard to establish. The NACC was created to hold the powerful to account. For it to do that job well, Australians need confidence in the person leading it. The Government must now appoint the next Commissioner through a process that is independent, transparent, and merits-based.

Time’s up. The Albanese Government must do better, to stop Australians being the world’s biggest losers, with gambling losses of $87 million every day. We must ban gambling ads and establish a national regulator. After waiting 1000 days, the Government’s response on gambling reform is underwhelming, but the public support for stronger action is overwhelming. The crossbench is united in asking the Government to listen to Australians.

David Pocock tears into Pauline Hanson’s gas plan, says it’s a “red flag" it being announced “at the gas industry conf” while “getting the red carpet” from gas giants who spent millions lobbying against an export tax “I just want a fair return on the export of our gas”💥 #auspol

UNRWA facilities are United Nations premises and under the 1946 Convention on the Privileges and Immunities, United Nations facilities are recognised as inviolable, just like an embassy. This means they are immune from search, requisition, confiscation, or any form of interference.  Read the statement by the Spokesperson for @‌UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres on the UNRWA Sheikh Jarrah compound in East Jerusalem: un.org/sg/en/content/…

@RonniSalt @william7424 The appointment of Jillian Segal clearly is not bringing people together but rather tearing people apart. It's time the Prime Minister realised this and cancelled the contract.

@RonniSalt @traverselife Brilliantly put, and of course you're absolutely right. Jillian Segal is not fit to serve us in this capacity. Indeed, she's most ill-suited to the task with which she's been given responsibility and for which our dollars provide the funds #auspol

@RonniSalt @Corns1945 She should be stood down from her position immediately. She doesn’t even represent all Australian Jews let alone understand why ordinary Australians are outraged…just paints every criticism of what Israel is doing as antisemitism…it’s not!! #PM you must act!!

A group of Australian citizens were kidnapped on international waters and beaten senseless on camera by their captors - Israel The most prominent Israel advocate in Australia - Jillian Segal - has so far said nothing about the welfare of her fellow Australian citizens nor condemned this atrocious abuse of human rights and brutality by her home state of Israel Jillian Segal is an employee of the Australian people charged with promoting "social cohesion" and her silence on this blatant Israeli abuse of her fellow Australians is a disgrace to these abused citizens and to the Australian taxpayers who fund her

This is MASSIVE 🔥 🇪🇸 Spain, under Pedro Sánchez, has called on Israel to end its expansion of settlements or face strict action 🔥 🇮🇹 Italy Declared the same 🇫🇷 France Declared the same 🇬🇧 UK Declared the same 🇩🇪 Now Germany is declaring the same These countries got their spine thanks to Spain’s leader, Pedro Sánchez. 95 % People think Pedro Sánchez is the spine of Europe 🔥🫡
