Australia condemns terrorism at home while ignoring grave breaches of international law by powerful allies. Selective justice was never defensible – and the ICJ has made that clear. #InternationalLaw #ICJ #HumanitarianLaw #Australia #Accountability #Gaza
Australia’s selective justice on international law is indefensible
Australia has pledged to uphold humanitarian law and protect aid workers. But in the face of an ICJ ruling on Gaza, its own anti-terror and accountability laws remain selectively unenforced.

This man’s values are based in power, greed and division. They are so far removed from the values of the Australian people.
We need a government that has the courage to stand up to him, reject his racism, reject US bases and forge an independent peaceful path for Australia.

This is $450,000 per term, per electorate. Plus interest on that money, let’s call it half a million. $75,000,000 per term of government for small re-election bribes.

Next time you’re waiting hours in a hospital emergency waiting room, think what this money could do.

The @jewishcouncilau.bsky.social has published an interesting study on Australian attitudes towards Jews and towards Israel. The graphs show the political leanings of those who hold antisemitic views & those who hold anti-Zionist views. It's clear: being anti-Zionist ≠ being antisemitic. #auspol

There is $1 million budgeted for the legal assistance needed for NACC to properly reconsider the Robodebt referrals - this funding ends in February 2026 and I hope for all of us that means there will be answers and accountability at this time (6+ years after Robodebt ended).
