Today the state parliament of Victoria makes history be beginning debate on Treaty legislation.

This wouldn’t be happening without Victorian Labor and progressive parties supporting the process.

Which is why I hope Labor is return to government, minority of majority, at next year’s state election.

No one likes to see their countries leaders associate with dictators, but here we are, you want to make friends with a regime that is bigoted and racists.

If the Democrats understood the modern media landscape, they’d have made this.

But, we have a writers room of creatives putting in the good work, thank you team Daily Show.

Canaries.
My @smh cartoon.

Two scenes. 1: advisor to Albo at his desk: “Sir, I must inform you that our canaries-in-the-coal-mines of climate change, transparency, accountability and social equity are all looking sickly…” PM: “Hmm…”
Scene 2: Albo at a lectern with press around: “…and that’s why my government is proud to announce the development of a new SUPER BREED of canaries…”

The thing is @albomp.bsky.social, the bombs have already been dropped, the earth has been salted, even if you act now it will be as empty as your past rhetoric on supporting Palestine.

Seeing lots of posts from Americans complaining that authoritarianism has never been this bad by the government.
Bullshit!
The US government has always been the same, it’s just normally been citizens of other countries that pay the price. What you’re seeing is how your troops act in other places.

GSF Leader strongly rejects IDF.

The words he speaks are the words that our leaders should be using. The action he & the others are taking are the action that our leaders should be taking. Instead they are mute & complicit.

His voice is the voice we need to hear

Fat generals.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Single frame. Scene of Pete Hesgeth on stage beside lectern in front of huge US flag. Hegseth says: “Under my command, there will be no more fat troops, generals and admirals in the halls of the Pentagon.” To his right is an elephant with an orange face and a long red tie.

Israel is an apartheid state and it’s perpetrating genocide on the colonised people otherwise known as Palestinians.
This is a fact
Too bad if you don’t like it

Int. law expert Chris Sidoti says those coming to Australia who served in the IDF & had “any involvement in the war in Gaza” should be treated as a “suspect”
“A suspect who should be investigated & if the evidence warrants it, prosecuted & if a court is satisfied, convicted!”💯 #NPC
