#BREAKING : The Australian Parliament Sports Club has just DE-REGISTERED itself as a lobby group... despite still being run by the Australian gambling lobby.
The change relieves our PM from having to explain why he's the PRESIDENT of an organisation designed to lobby HIS OWN GOVERNMENT.

The National Press Club cancelled a speaker, Chris Hedges, who planned to address the mass killing of journalists in Gaza. The mainstream press didn’t report it.

An important case.
Yet another attempt by the Israel lobby to silence critics, with the ludicrous slur that support for Palestine or criticism of Zionism is antisemitic.

Appears to come from the same warped thinking behind Jillian Segal's dodgy draft plan.

Big police contingent deployed to Canberra pro Palestine rally. Given how peaceful and responsibly organised these rallies have been this is a ridiculous waste of public money and police resources. I mean if there’s trouble at the kids face painting table you’d only need a couple of cops max 🤷.

The right to self defence ?
Israel has no right to self defence on a land it's illegally occupying it's basic international law.
What we are witnessing after 2.years of bombardment is Israel is on a quest for total annihilation and you helped him you supplied the means.

Trump has now illegally killed (murdered) at least 17 people in fishing boats in the Caribbean and still can’t cite any legal authority for doing so. And apparently, he’s planning to build his very own Arc de Triomphe to honor this glorious victory across the Potomac from the Lincoln Memorial.

When he was prime minister, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson issued his version of the ministerial code.

It included the very rules he has now been found to have repeatedly breached……no shock there then!
