Australia stands with the brave people of Iran in their struggle against oppression.
For decades, the Iranian regime has been a destabilising force, through its ballistic missile and nuclear programs, support for armed proxies, and brutal acts of violence and intimidation.
Iran directed at least two attacks on Australian soil in 2024. These appalling acts targeting Australia’s Jewish community were intended to create fear, divide our society and challenge our sovereignty. In response, Australia took the unprecedented steps of expelling Iran’s Ambassador, suspending operations at our embassy in Tehran, and listing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a state sponsor of terrorism.
Our Government has sanctioned more than 200 Iranian-linked individuals, including more than 100 linked to the IRGC.
With international partners, including the United States and the G7, we have called for the Iranian regime to uphold the human rights and fundamental freedoms of Iran’s citizens.
These calls have gone unheeded. Instead, the regime has instigated a brutal crackdown on its own people leaving thousands of Iranian civilians dead. A regime that relies on the repression and murder of its own people to retain power is without legitimacy.
It has long been recognised that Iran’s nuclear program is a threat to global peace and security. The international community has been clear that the Iranian regime can never beallowed to develop a nuclear weapon. The United Nations Security Council has reimposed sanctions on Iran for failing to comply with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action and the International Atomic Energy Agency Board has formally declared Iran in non-compliance with its non-proliferation safeguards obligations.
We support the United States acting to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and to prevent Iran continuing to threaten international peace and security.
Australian officials are closely monitoring this evolving situation. We continue
to advise Australians do not travel to Iran and leave Iran as soon as possible, if it is safe to do so. Our ability to provide consular assistance in Iran is extremely limited.
Given our concerns around security in the region, we have also upgraded Australia’s travel advice for Israel and Lebanon to Do Not Travel. Australians should leave now if it is safe to do so.
The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has activated its Crisis Centre to provide consular support to Australians in the region.
Australians requiring urgent consular assistance can contact the Consular Emergency Centre 24/7 on 1300 555 135 in Australia or +61 2 6261 3305 from outside Australia.
@MotoGP Yet another trash decision by a garbage organisation that doesn’t give a fuck about the riders or the fans. I won’t be watching you intentionally kill riders on TV for “entertainment”.
@wswanderersfc Feel free to alienate the few who still bother to turn up to watch you lose every week, but no shirt ban changes the fact that #IsraelIsATerroristState. Amazing how shamelessly you promote off the back of westie foreigners right until you have to let them in.
@GoranSlav@footballnsw “Challenge” means the ball is somewhere in the same postcode, this is a straight up assault. They should have called the police.
A horror challenge on Sutherlands Jamie Percevski last night was ugly. Rash, Reckless and uncalled for, the NPL is tough, but that crossed the line. Players deserve better protection and @footballnsw need to make a stance with a long suspension for the player guilty

@BernardKeane@AlboMP@AustralianLabor I’d like to opt out of this on the grounds that I’d go to literally any place on earth before that fucking fascist cesspit. Signed, probably just about anyone with an even partly functional brain.
The government is giving Trump and ICE full access to Australians' biometric and ID document information -- under threat of losing visa-free entry to the US

"Brave words to come out and show up like that" 😳
@SydneyFC captain does not hold back when speaking about words spoken by his cross-town rivals in the lead up to the #SydneyDerby 🤯

@USEmbAustralia That’s great! Then you walk out of the airport and some cosplay pseudomilitary gestapo cunt shoots you ten times in the head and the government calls you a terrorist on TV. I think I’ll pass.

Hamas never praised the actions of my Government @AlboMP, but they did praise yours.

@isobelroe “Jewish areas”? Thanks for clarifying Isobel! All this time I’d had this crazy idea that Sydney was for Sydneysiders…
Maybe ask the Premier to explain that one if you ever feel like doing your job again, or alternatively do nothing until the IDF decides you can’t go in there.
Deploying the army to Jewish areas to protect the community has not been ruled out by the NSW premier as he contemplates security changes following the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. abc.net.au/news/2025-12-2…
@aleaguemen What an absolute load of horseshit. By all means conjure up whatever bullshit you want but don’t treat the few fans left still watching this garbage like idiots. Not sure we’ve ever had a matchfixing tool quite like VAR, it’s brilliant.
@mhillofficial Oil on track in the Moto3 race literally on fire and…nothing. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s ridiculous inconsistency and occasional application of the rules and people are entitled to question why it always seems to fall a particular way.
The race was red flagged because of oil on track not because the Marquez brothers crashed. The rules state all riders can restart if less than 3 laps have been completed. The amount of stupid comments claiming Spanish bias is ridiculous #BritishGP#MotoGP
Seems like there's oil down because of the Morbidelli-Espargaro crash.
Less than three laps completed means a full restart. Both Marc and Alex can start, as well as Franco and Aleix
