International Criminal Court reportedly set to issue arrest warrants for Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and senior officials #auspol middleeastmonitor.com/20240427-netan… via @MiddleEastMnt
Amazing how Linda Reynolds is insisting on saving her reputation by thoroughly, irredeemably trashing it
It is hard to imagine what living through this must have been like. There was a person at the centre of this omnishambles. And she was so young when it all began.

Dutton's new-found fight against anti-semitism would be far more convincing if he wasn't simultaneously supporting the most extreme RW government Israel has ever had, daily criticised in @haaretzcom & elsewhere. And if his views on people of "Middle Eastern appearance" (much…

South Australian taxpayers have been forking out a whopping $3.2 million a day for services from big consultants like PwC. We need real, ongoing jobs for public servants who are capable, qualified, and reliable rather than paying these corporate cowboys for overpriced projects.
The role of Murdoch provocateur Janet Albrechtsen in misrepresenting Brittany Higgins’ allegation as just part of an Australian version of “woke” US MeToo movement needs to be examined here. We NewsCorp subscribers do not deserve Albrechtsen’s shoddy journalism. Lachlan? Anyone?

“A robust and forceful speech” says David Speers as he describes the universally condemned Dutton speech comparing Opera House demonstrations with the Port Arthur massacre. FFS Dutton’s speech was divisive stupidity from a desperate, despicable politician masquerading as a leader

Sky News has developed quite a thing about 'woke'. Eg: New G-G is product of 'woke' Labor fedgovt. Poor buggers don't realise woke is the opposite of dumb, ignorant, lacking in empathy.
BREAKING: Donald Trump’s former Defense Secretary just announced he wouldn’t vote for Trump. This is inciting panic amongst Trump campaign strategists. Retweet to ensure all Americans know Trump’s former staffers don’t support him.
What an indictment of the ABC. They were bullied, panicked, and fired a shot (a la Shoot Now Ask Questions Later). Let it be a lesson to them. Toughen up, and while you’re at it, scrutinise your own biases. And give the Zionist Lobby a wide birth. Thank you @smh for exposing it,…

This and photos like it will fill history books, unreservedly labelled as atrocities committed by a fascist ethnostate given Carte Blanche by Western Liberal Democracies—and a hallmark of the fall of the Western (US) Empire. And everyone will pretend they were always against it.

This is a truly incredible speech by the great Tony Benn that I’d recommend everyone watch. 👇

Murdoch culture on full display today - not a word on the nationwide rallies against male violence on p1 of The OZ today. Didn’t make the top 6 yarns up against the likes of culture war exercises and Coalition talking points.

@c_s_wallace @abc730 @latingle Pezzullo said he had made "mistakes", but that's a gloss over ... it was really a repeated pattern of behaviour in private. ie not known to the general public
@c_s_wallace @abc730 @latingle It was nothing more then Pezzulo advertising his credentials for a future position in the Defence space - most likely in the private sector.
@EVERALDATLARGE Why did Linda Reynolds hire such a person? And now she wants to sue BH?? Clearly her responsibility who she hires and how they behave to other staff. Do you have background on this, Everald? BL’s “elevation” seems ridiculous, as is the protection he’s still getting from RW media.
If Linda Reynolds really wants to restore her reputation, she could do nothing better than to release a statement announcing that, in the spirit of healing & reconciliation, she is accepting Brittany Higgins’ apology & dropping her defamation case against Higgins and her fiancé.
Take note of the intelligence and integrity of @BarbaraPocock as she grills a Dept of Finance public servant about a mispayment of $100MILION. Surely, surely KPMG must repay OUR money?And please please create a public service where such external contracting is not required.
Barbara Pocock blasts Dept of Finance after they insist they have absolutely no idea about a $100mill pmt from Defence to KPMG for work “not completed” “You are here as the representatives for procurement by the public sector & you have no knowledge of a $100mill misspayment?”🔥

On my way in the Senate door to ask some (more) questions about how we should regulate and clean up the consulting sector. Looking for value for money, ethical practice and conflict of interest clean ups. Not too much to ask. One hopes.

So the US now “aiding” Israel to the tune of an additional $41 BILLION to pursue its genocide of Palestinians and, primarily, to shore up its military dominance in the region. All humanity and integrity long lost. We should unconditionally condemn the US administration. #Gaza
