Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.

An Australian woman who has not agreed to sign a waiver acknowledging she sought to 'illegally break Israel’s naval blockade' on Gaza will be “indefinitely detained” in Israel’s Ketziot prison unless she agrees to sign the waiver.

The fish n chip shop gossip is trying to drive division in the community AGAIN‼️

Pauline Hanson’s sustained campaign of alarmist rhetoric about immigration has once again returned to the centre of public debate and it deserves a careful & sober rebuttal

The NT is sometimes like the worst of the Deep South of the US. Racist. Hateful. Uncaring. Cruel.

I watched a pup die from parvo when I was a kid. Horrible way to go. My 1st foster pup came from a rural pound and nearly died of parvo. The rescue org had to fundraise to pay his vet bills. Not vaccinating pets is cruel.

Mind you, parvo outbreaks were common in rural pounds years ago too.
