Two years on from the Voice referendum, I’m never going to forgive the Liberal Party for their cruel destruction of hopes of reconciliation for political point scoring. Dutton, Price, Hastie, Abbott, Credlin, and all weak, cowardly moderates who stood by and said nothing. A dark stain on Australia.

Amazing what these far-right twits ignore.

She’s on the board of the Peter Thiel-fostered Christofascist operation with Hastie, Abbott, Howard & co.

We need to stop being surprised and explain this to people.

The electronic voting system the USA uses has just been bought by Donald Trump's allies.

Western media reports on
Israeli hostages ; Palestinian prisoners
Israeli 'operations'; Hamas attacks
And neglects to use the word illegal when referring to Israel's actions:
Illegal occupation of Palestine
Illegal settlements in the West Bank
Illegal blockade of Gaza

“This war is absolutely about displacement & ethnic cleansing, the right-wing fever dreams encouraged & fomented by the PM.

Likud, Netanyahu's party, has organized a conference called "Preparing for Settlement in Gaza," headlined by 9 Knesset members, for Oct 21, 2025.”

"Why aren't the Free Palestine people cheering about the ceasefire?"

If you saw a man beating a child into a coma, would you cheer after the beating stopped? No, your first reaction would be horror at what happened and your second would be fear that he'll attack the kid again.

“Why are Palestinians, who have a right under international law to armed struggle against an occupying power, expected to disarm while Israel, the illegally occupying force, is not?”

When normal people get a ceasefire agreement they think "Good, this means we can finally stop fighting and killing." Whenever Israelis get a ceasefire agreement they go, "This means we have to hurry up and kill as many people as possible before it takes effect."

Suddenly voting machines will be ok again?

Wow, we really have lost this country haven't we, the midterms are going to be rigged and we can say goodbye to safe and secure elections.

Devastating really.

Choices are running out, you fight back or be a slave. The war is already here, we're losing
