If you're an American right-wing politician or media personality who is using the tragedy at #Bondi to make negative comment about either Australia's gun control laws or our multiculturalism, kindly fuck off.

And, Netanyahu. You can fuck right off, too.

"none of our media have taken seriously the assassination of almost 300 Palestinian journalists &assistants by the IDF. The NPC withdrew an invitation to Chris Hedges a world renowned journalist about the failed western media coverage of the genocide." johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...
The Zionist lobby, antisemitism and Herzog
Australia’s political and media response to Gaza, including the invitation to Israel’s president, reflects the influence of pro-Israel lobbying and the shrinking space for lawful criticism.

Jeremy has been at the forefront of Atlas/Advance and disinformation for many years now (we've finally caught up to him).

“Cuts at CSIRO simply shift the cost to the Australian Government into paying another provider. And when there is no other organisation that can provide scientific expertise at the same level, then the costs will go up and the quality will go down.” satpa.pe/I4oZaxk
CSIRO funding falling short by ‘at least’ $1 billion
Internal correspondence and Senate submissions show the CSIRO is running out of money and may lose its position as a leading research agency.

One does not need to live in Ramallah or anywhere else in the West Bank to see what is coming. Israeli forces already besiege most of the Palestinian territory, negotiated under the infamous Oslo Accords, as they besiege city after city across the West Bank.

The Murdoch owned paper that has never made much money for his media empire, it’s a political attack weapon against politicians whom don’t bow to Murdoch. The paper is losing advertisers who have moved to digital outlets, its own fame & viability as a source of news must be in doubt

Preselection doesn't make a difference with the 3 major parties, they'll parachute who they want into electorates and the members like it or lump it. That's why they're all shit scared of the teals and other grassroots indies to the point they changed the donations rules in their favour.

It beggars belief that people hold these views. They are utterly destructive and will decimate regional and rural healthcare
