This is the sort of leadership Australians thought they had voted for.

Australians need a government that sees the world as it is, not as they delude themselves it should be. We know the US is not to be trusted, it’s not a long term reliable ally, it’s a rogue actor solely fighting for its perceived interests, not ours.

The threat of withdrawal from Australia by the gas giants is hollow, given the billions here they still hope to plunder. “Ignore ‘self-serving’ claims from gas giants and implement 100% tax on windfall profits, Ken Henry says” theguardian.com/australia-news…

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un!! She went out to find food for her children, but returned to find that Israel had bombed their home and killed them all. DON'T STOP TALKING ABOUT GAZA!

The news is getting around about the ASIO bill. The Senate inquiry into the bill received just 6 submissions as nobody knew about it. Now, videos like this are popping up everywhere and getting big views - thanks @news_kristian Greens & ON are "no" - call Libs-Nats to oppose.

Dan's wife Saffrine Duggan said today her family has endured 1,273 days of suffering. Six kids have grown up without their father, who spent 19 months in solitary confinement all without ever being charged with breaking an Australian law.

It's illegal in Australia to post the flag with the swastika (we can't offend the Nazis) so try this one instead.

Breaking! Six months after hearing @FreeDanDuggan's appeal against the Attorney General's approval of his extradition to the USA, a federal judge has denied the appeal. He also awarded costs against Dan & his destitute family. AG @MRowlandMP has the power to end this torture.

This legend attended a protest outside the Brisbane headquarters of Boeing, a company that makes and sells military equipment, including to apartheid Israel. He had a banner with the words: "From the river to the sea, Brisbane will be free of Boeing." The term "from the river to the sea" was outlawed by the Queensland government last month, “when expressed in a way that makes a member of the public feel menaced, harassed or offended.” Apparently saying that Brisbane will be free of Boeing from the river to the sea counts. These laws are batshit stupid. Get a grip, QLD.

BREAKING: BBC has compiled evidence of more than 160 Palestinian children deliberately shot in the head by IDF soldiers and snipers in Gaza. They concluded the worst thing ever: "Israeli jews are hunting children for fun."

Kuwait smashed Israel: "GET OUT NOW ,YOU HAVE NO DIGNITY YOU OCCUPlER, YOU CHlLDKlLLER"

Penny!! @SenatorWong. Hi, me again. You gotta see this. It's truly evil and depraved. Anti-human. Not sure if your people are passing stuff on??? Concerning? Deeply concerning?

It’s time Israel’s 200 nuclear warheads were taken off them.

Watching this Press Club address and it seems Marles has been watching the world over the last 12 months and decided that China is the primary disrupter and main threat to peace. A different reality to the one everyone else is living in.

With barely a breath between Marles says Labor is committed to the US alliance and then that our alliances are based on a “shared commitment to rules, sovereignty and self respect” - ummm - Greenland, NATO, Iran, Venezuela - doesn’t he own a TV?

Israel is a terrorist state😡 🇵🇸 Palestine's representative to the United Nations, Riyad Mansour, broke down in tears while talking about the Palestinian female doctor who lost nine of her ten children in the 🇮🇱Israeli massacre. He said, "This is a horror and trauma that is impossible to comprehend, that the heart cannot bear."

The Federal Court has today ruled that Australian citizen Dan Duggan will be extradited to the United States, where he faces up to 65 years in prison for conduct that wasn’t even an offence under Australian law. It's deeply distressing news for so many.

Survival, despite the burdens of life

Israel killed every single person in this video in Lebanon. Every. Single. One. Not fighters. Babies. Children. Women. Entire families. 350 civilians slaughtered in one day. Remember their faces the next time Israel claims it’s targeting “militants.”
