Ole mate from WA.

@drkerrynphelps What I'm finding hard to accept is that our biosecurity quarantine laws prohibit the import of harmful organisms but Qantas and Virgin etc,have got the green light to fly in a known infectious mutating disease that has no vaccine or cure. Cattle and sheep have better protection.

@54JohnBull @carolecadwalla That was repeated on the @RadioNational in Australia. Sick indeed.

@carolecadwalla I wouldn't be surprised if the Iran piece repeated the BBC claim that Iranians welcome having nuclear weapons dropped on them. ##DefundtheBBC

This is performative bullshit on a day when the US president is threatening a genocide against a nation of 93 million people & the UK is allowing him to use our air bases. Will @Keir_Starmer continue to do so & be complicit in whatever comes next?

@antonioguterres Like Gaza ?

There is no military objective that justifies the wholesale destruction of a society's infrastructure or the deliberate infliction of suffering on civilian populations.

@cromwell2025 @SamZawsum Unless your Iranian eh champ. Not so much a nothingburger being a parent under bombardment, can't go to a hospital, get medical aid or have running drinking water. Yeah nothing to worry about.

@SamZawsum Nothing will happen in the sense of nukes, it will be a few conventional bombs and more missing American aircraft. Seriously people are worrying over a nothingburger, it is so funny to watch. TACO Tuesday.

It's after midnight in Australia. But who can sleep? I feel sick to my core

Just how does this species survive in the wild😜

@noplaceforsheep My children will suffer for these times.

What a fucking time to be alive, eh?

@ScenesFilms AUSTRALIA

Name the most overrated movie of all time.

@deniseshrivell What were you taught?

Call me sus - but I’m now thinking everything we were taught and told about WWI and WWII - isn’t entirely accurate 🤷‍♀️ #auspol

Never forget Abeer, a 14 year old Iraqi girl gang rāped by five American soldiers before they shot her in the head & set her body on fire. One of the many horror stories from the U.S invasion of Iraq which was built on lies. As they repeat same script for Iran, remember Abeer

@Rabyna46 @Saniya_physic gicj.org/lest-we-forget…

@Saniya_physic Another American terrorists who raped a girl then murdered her and her family. He thought 'Iraqis' were not human. A despicable scumbag.

Ministers urged Iran to act in line with UNSC Resolution 2817, which reaffirmed that the exercise of navigational rights and freedoms by merchant and commercial vessels, in accordance with international law, must be respected, particularly around critical maritime routes.

I joined over 40 countries on a call on the Strait of Hormuz as part of Australia’s support for international efforts to reopen the critical waterway. I thank @YvetteCooperMP for convening the meeting with representatives from every continent, and organisations including @IMOHQ.

@SenatorWong OFFS! Nonsense. Conspicuous by the absence is the Iranian perspective which immediately undermines the premise. Why is speaking truthfully, without rhetoric, so fucking hard?

@Playerinthgame Clinton killed Glass–Steagall. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass–Ste…

utterly unsustainably rabidly insane. makes the Reagan years look like the New Deal era.

@GlobalNewsuca Unless Iran backs this statement ,you will find its Trumps flunkies attempting to insider trade again.

Breaking: Oil reverse course and now down 1% after being up 3% in early trading, this follow some positive development on potential 45 day ceasefire

@deniseshrivell Leverage . Israel and America are using leverage against the ministers individually . No need to hold threats against Australia because Wong and Albanese have shown already they put foreign interests before Australians like these bullshit anti hate laws for Israel . Blackmail 101

I’m trying to think what I’m missing that politicians, media etc - who should be standing up to the worst behaviour by our allies - inc genocide & warmongering - are instead bowing down to it. Why are they doing this? Do they agree with it - or are they just cowards? #auspol

@TracyWesterman Australia is at war and has been funding and supplying armaments into the Gaza genocide in Palestine . Australia is supporting the killing of Iranians . lady get the fuck off that high horse.

Every time someone criticises the quality of our politicians, conservatives fire back with ‘but the country’s still a mess.’ What mess exactly? Australia has universal healthcare. Free public education. A minimum wage. Compulsory superannuation. One of the highest standards of living on earth. We are not at war. We are not in famine. We are not living under authoritarian rule. By virtually every global measure, Australia is one of the best countries on earth to be born into. That didn’t happen by accident. Are there real challenges? Yes. Housing affordability is a genuine crisis. Cost of living is hurting people. Those are legitimate issues that deserve real policy responses. What they don’t deserve is being weaponised by people who have no intention of solving them. Because ask yourself — when did you last hear Hanson or One Nation offer an actual successful, budgeted policy solution to housing? To cost of living? Not a grievance. Not a target. An actual successful policy. Their entire business model is convincing you the country is a disaster so you stay angry enough to vote for them. Scared people don’t ask hard questions. Trump still has “concepts of a health plan” -while the entire country can’t afford healthcare. Every foundation that makes Australia great was built by progressive governments, opposed at every turn by conservatives. Medicare. Superannuation. The NDIS. The minimum wage. The National Apology. The two biggest back-to-back budget surpluses in history after inheriting a trillion dollars of Liberal debt. A decade of Coalition government gave us Robodebt. Sports rorts. A delayed national integrity commission. And a senator found guilty of racially vilifying a PhD engineer. The country isn’t a mess. But we will be when the people running it have no idea what they were doing
