“Oif you carn’t spoik Englush then yew don’t desurve tu live here,” stuttered Hanson. Read more: theshovel.com.au/2026/06/17/mig…

We're not crying, you're crying 🥹🇦🇺 Socceroos winger Awer Mabil just dropped the most special message at the World Cup. After the squad made a viral video about where they come from, the winger - who was born in a Kenyan refugee camp - explains what makes Australia 'the best country in the world': 'Many different backgrounds. One jersey.' This is what the Socceroos are all about. In Refugee Week, these are beautiful words from a special footballer and person.

Willcox strikes again. 👏👏

The Australian Jewish community is not a monolith, this is an argument we have made in our submission to the Royal Commission and in coverage today in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Age. To read our submission in full, head to jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/06/jewish…

If Pauline Hanson wants a 'monocultural' society she's come to the wrong place. This land has held the world's oldest living cultures for 65,000 years. We've built one of the most successful multicultural nations on earth. Her "one cultural umbrella" is division, not unity.

Well done, @GetUp. Well done indeed. 👏🏻🥂 #auspol #npc

253 children, 121 women among 1,000+ Gazans killed during cease-fire haaretz.com/gaza/2026-06-1…

Wasn’t sure a new low was possible, but we’ve reached it in Gaza: daily killings, continued bombardment and forced starvation - with zero media coverage. Complete normalisation of genocide.

How the fuck do we live in a country where Pauline Hanson can call Sarah Martin a “trashy journalist” on live TV at the @PressClubAust today and all the other journos didn’t get up and immediately walk out of there? #NewsCorpse

When you turn on the tap today, remember that for most people in #Gaza, clean running water is no longer a part of daily life. After more than two and a half years of relentless destruction of Gaza’s water and sanitation infrastructure, families are forced to walk long distances carrying heavy containers of water, simply to meet their most basic daily needs.

In rare move, Israel seizes homes inside Palestinian Authority-controlled part of the West Bank, raising alarms over annexation mondoweiss.net/2026/06/in-rar… #Palestine #Israel

This weekend, we filed our submission to the Royal Commission. Read it in full at: jewishcouncil.com.au/2026/06/jewish…

#auspol Gee @abcnews you really do say ‘regime’ a lot! And only in reference to one side, when technically they’re both just governments no more or less legitimate than the other For balance, stop doing it, or label USA a regime 11 times per article too abc.net.au/news/2026-06-1…

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza have forced hundreds of families into the streets - many for the second or third time since the genocide began, writes Palestinian journalist Shaimaa Marwan Eid. deepcutnews.com/p/as-though-th…

It is beyond disgraceful that the 'Great Israeli Real Estate' event was allowed to go ahead. Once again, the government has exposed its flagrant contempt for international law as well as its shameful complicity in Israel’s illegal occupation. thenational.scot/news/26200041.…

For most of us, we can’t even imagine what Nestory’s journey has been like. As with all refugees. Displaced, homeless, full of hope but in desperate need of safety. A chance. An opportunity at life. With a dream and a ball, making a new life, in a country with a proud history of welcoming refugees, but facing its own forces of opposition today. Nestory didn’t just shoot the ball into the Turkish net, he struck a lightning bolt to the conscience of millions of Australians. How can we cheer one brilliant, skilled, explosive and confident young kid representing us, and we him, and simultaneously portray refugees or new arrivals as less worthy? It also should raise the question of how refugees come to be? Everyone wants to live a safe life at home, with kin, generations of family, not having to ask for a chance.. But conflict, it’s funding, the breakdown in international law, the weapons industry needing to be fed, exploitation of resources, religious tribalism and extremism, all create the more than a hundred million people who have fled their home. It is these drivers we must stop, and these causes we must never support nor participate in. Football brings everyone together and shows us what we share. Now, we share a love of a young Aussie kid who overcame every barrier put in his way, to reach the pinnacle of world sport. And that is needed more than ever.

@MichaelWestBiz What on EARTH! The Iranian ambassador was dismissed based on allegations from Mossad, over a singed synagogue door and a trashed cafe. We are talking here of Australian citizens being sexually abused and RAPED. Why hasn't the Israeli ambassador already on his way back to Tel Aviv

Australia's Jewish community received 49x more funding (per capita) than Muslim Australians but where does the money go? @sstephanietrann investigates. #auspol #ECAJ @Tony_Burke michaelwest.com.au/wheres-the-mon…
