This man is trying to lose an election. It’s becoming clearer and clearer that the focus groups conducted by the Labor party are most concerned with how they can gain conservative votes from the LNP, rather than introducing better policy in the interests of this country. We…

Huge lessons for Albanese in the American election results - Crucial demographics hate Israel's genocide of Gaza - Appealing to right wing voters' morality isn't the path to victory - Housing and cost of living require macro govt intervention, not incremental cowardice

All the takes are correct and yet they also miss the point. Yes, it was insane for the Democrats to think they could win by running a soulless candidate, without a shred of progressive policy vision, pursuing endorsements from neocon war-hawks everybody hates, while arming and…

Brereton's behaviour is beyond shocking and his position as #NACC Commissioner is completely untenable. After squirming around miserably for a few days, I predict he will accept the inevitable and resign.

FactCheck: ◾️ It's not actually an evacuation "order", as Israel has no legal authority in the independent country of Lebanon. ◾️ The term "order" provides a legal fiction to what is Israel's illegal and bloody invasion of Lebanon. ◾️ The word ought to be avoided, despite it…

@GrogsGamut Peter Khalil, this morning, on Australia's inaction on Gaza atrocities "[approximately] The PM and FM have made several statements - I don't know what more we can be expected to do"

A full 45 minutes getting sprayed for being a cowardly shitcunt while you wait for a police escort that no one liked you enough to actually call for in the first place. Glorious. Best of luck in the election, Peter.

Since Peter Khalil is in the news, please know that a few weeks ago he was spotted at a local pub, so a few dozen anti-genocide activists turned up. Brave Peter asked for the bar staff to call the cops which they *pretended to do* and he sat back down to get yelled at some more

Let’s face it - there’s a loss of public trust in the NACC by those of us who are looking and are politically engaged. But we don’t decide elections. They want more low information voters who they can trick and sway by headline #auspol

Based on its record to date, the #NACC is neither powerful, transparent, nor independent. Little prospect of change, either.

No surprise the Labor/Coalition duopoly just voted down @DavidPocock’s & Jacqui Lambie’s amendment to the #NACC Act to lift the secrecy blanket over hearings. Why have the old parties again voted against public interest transparency? Permanent governing class interests! #auspol

It is a disqualifying purpose for a charity to oppose a political party. Here is @ZionistFedAus doing exactly that.

A normal statement that normal Australians would expect from a normal Labor Senator making a rational moral observation. A statement that should be welcome in a normal Labor party.

Incredible that politicians don’t want Australians to stand against the genocide of Palestinians on Oct7 saying it’s disrespectful to Jewish ppl but want Australians to celebrate the genocide of FirstNations ppl on Jan26 & don’t care how disrespectful or offensive it is to them.
