72,000 killed in the genocide in Gaza. 1 million+ displaced in Lebanon. 1,700 settler attacks in the West Bank. And now war in Iran. Sending 20,000+ more bombs to Netanyahu isn’t just immoral—it’s illegal. That’s why I introduced legislation to stop it.

Over the past week, Russia launched nearly 1,550 attack drones against Ukraine, more than 1,260 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles. Over that same week, due to the easing of sanctions, Russia increased its crude oil sales to finance its war. Revenues give Russia a sense of impunity and the ability to continue the war. That is why pressure must continue and sanctions must work. Russia’s shadow fleet must not feel safe in European waters or anywhere else. Tankers that serve the war budget can and must be stopped and blocked, not just let go. I thank every leader who makes such decisions. This is what brings a dignified peace closer.

Right around Australia people want to ‘Stop the logging’. Unfortunately @AlboMP is captured by the logging industry and continues to throw millions at them to give them lifelines to the next disaster.. burning forests for energy #ForestFurnaces

Whether it’s mistreatment of the old, or exploitation of the to, so much about our attitudes & policies to housing are broken, fairness sacrificed. @SatPaper editorial on aged housing

“Good. I'm glad he's dead”, Trump on the death of Robert Mueller, who volunteered for Vietnam when his blue blood family connections could have got him a deferment, won a Bronze Star for valor, and a Purple Heart and who served F.B.I. director in the immediate aftermath of 911.

this is an amazing op-ed from a former Tasmanian Labor leader about the evil of greyhound racing. should be shared far and wide

The "lower the tobacco tax" nonsense gets another walk around the block in today's Sydney Morning Herald. Here's why it fails primary school arithmetic. simonchapman6.com/2026/03/20/a-s… @DrNeilStone @AlanKohler

@TheLyonsDen knows better than anyone that copping this sort of campaign from the lobby means he's doing good journalism

I realized that @TheDailyShow is the best way to present news for my psyche. The essence is still clear, but the emotions are different. Thank you for preserving the mental health of people 💪

Labor hasn’t even responded to the report! Meanwhile children “have been groomed to watch sport and think gambling.” thesaturdaypaper.com.au/share/22863/Nf…

Parable of contemporary Sydney; Owner of the lousy ‘student housing provider’ - whose cheap & tacky towers crammed with expensive micro units dotted all over the city - buys overpriced show mansion on a hill …

So who, for decades, has been selling out the national interest, leaving Australia open to external threats, oblivious to any thoughts of resilience? All the while supporting USA-initiated invasions globally? ‘Major parties’ so negligent at governing & protecting our interests

The European Union will find ways to continue supporting Ukraine. The real challenge, however, is that this war is not ending anytime soon & we must already prepare for the next phase, including future financial commitments. What remains insufficiently understood by many policymakers is the nature of this war. This is not a traditional war. It is a hybrid confrontation, where cyber warfare, economic pressure, and information manipulation play a central role. There is no need for a nuclear strike to generate systemic disruption. These forms of warfare can produce effects comparable to a nuclear shock - not on the battlefield, but within our own societies. They impact our economies, destabilize our institutions, & erode the cohesion... If we fail to fully grasp these dynamics, we risk remaining permanently reactive. @kajakallas @eu_eeas @Bart_DeWever @eucopresident @vonderleyen @EmmanuelMacron @alexstubb

Australian oil & gas companies will pocket record profits from war, but also off Australians in higher prices. Encouraging Albanese gov’t looking at windfall profits tax. We need a suite of direct inflation-combatting measures like this. #auspol abc.net.au/news/2026-03-2…
