So is ABC or any media going to show us or spk to any Palestinians who are miraculously still alive after 2yrs of daily bombings by Israel? Seems pretty one sided at the moment. Palestinians wrongly held captive by Israel are also being released today, barely a mention.

Zionism should be banned & all organisations that promote it should be proscribed in Australia under terrorism legislation, same as other violent-extremist, religo-fascist organisations like Isis.

There is no difference between them.

Clear and obvious war crimes committed by Israeli forces bombing civilian areas in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, The Gulf…

Those responsible must be held to account in The Hague, or international justice, the ICC & the UN is a complete farce.

Yes I am intolerant of Religo-fascists whose entire ideology is to kill gay people, subjugate women and enforce their maniacal beliefs on others.

Got a problem with that?

sustainableauspol.bsky.social @sustainableauspol.bsky.social · 9h

Why is ABC showing blanket coverage of celebrating Zionists & their parade?

It makes me sick & I’m sure that is a majority position in Australia

Let the war crime trials for the Israeli Cabinet & majority of military officers commence

That’s what I want to see blanket coverage of.

Why is the gas industry notorious for paying so little tax, despite making billions in revenue?

Santos has made it 10 years in a row paying no tax!

Australia has an opportunity to reconsider its involvement in AUKUS.

Because the Gov doesn’t want them back. 90% of the population doesn’t want them back.

Their ideology will poison another generation of people in Australia with intolerance & hate, with homophobia, with mysogeny.

“Could” ?

There is nothing conditional about it

Don’t worry, just keep increasing the population by 400k a year via immigration to pump corporate profits.

It ought to end real well.

This was never a war
It was & is a genocide

Israel has lost the moral right to exist

ALL illegal settlements post 1974 must be returned to the Palestinians they were stolen from

Israel MUST pay reconstruction costs for Gaza & give up all those with arrest warrants for war crime trials

They don’t have a large indigenous population 80% of whom are on life-long welfare in remote camps they can employ and lift out of cycles of poverty?

How is it better indigineous Australians stay in remote areas without ever the hope of being employed other than a small % in make-work schemes?

Labor pledged to save $6.4bn through cutting the government's use of consultants and external labour, and yet here they are forking out more. The government's focus must be on rebuilding the public service for core work functions.

And to “fix” the problem they create, we have to destroy beautiful neighbourhoods, fill them with ugly “developments” , lower building standards, and bulldoze native animal habitat - oh and import more people to build for the more people

Make. It. STOP

One of very few economists who aren’t lying
We are importing far more people than we can build houses for - that pushes up property prices

Pretty simple. But do you think any “Labor” politicians will admit it? Greens magical thinkers won’t either

They all do the bidding of big biz

So push for a sustainable population policy, forever growth continues to push housing demand, therefore push up rents and housing prices

Impoverishing workers, locking them out of housing

If you don’t advocate for a sustainable population you aren’t serious on housing

I wish the Manchester synagogue attack never happened. I also feel weird even talking about it while dozens of Palestinians are killed today whose individual names I’ll never know and whose individual deaths I’ll never see decried in western media headlines.

Take a look at the pictures of Crowded House’s concert at the Opera House.

This is just blatant political interference by a NSW Police Commissioner.

She must immediately stand aside her objections, or resign.

The abject coward @albomp.bsky.social quickly condemns a terror attack killing a couple of people

Completely silent on the Israeli state’s targeted terror attacks killing dozens of journalists, dozens of aid workers, hundreds of medical staff and tens of thousands of women & children.
