The Aust Parliament Sports Club (the one that ditched David Pocock) is now formally registered as a lobby group👇🏽

Anthony Albanese is the President of the Aust Parliament Sports Club.

That means the Prime Minister of Australia is currently the president of a lobby group.

Just utterly unbelievable.

i'm so serious, give the peace prize to ms rachel www.instagram.com/p/DPosLeoAMYu/

Dear President Obama,
I saw in your statement you said "Israeli families" & "the people of Gaza."
Palestinians have families, too.
This kind of language contributes to dehumanization. Dehumanization is part of what caused so many to stay silent as 20,000 children were killed in this genocide.
I've sat with wonderful Palestinian families from Gaza. They look at their children just like we look at ours - with all the love & hope in the world.
Love, Ms Rachel

Obviously early days, but I feel comfortable comparing her to Alana Murphy & Kyra Cooney-Cross at around the same stage of career.

She has all the attributes you’d want in a modern midfielder

My son will jump out from corners, point at me and yell “Manamana!”

He won’t move until I sing “doo doo do do doo”

NEW: UN experts have urged FIFA and UEFA to suspend Israel’s national football team, citing the UN Commission of Inquiry’s finding that Israel is committing genocide in occupied Palestine. They stressed that international law obliges states and organizations not to aid or normalize such crimes…

The arrogance of Tony Blair is astounding.

If i personally AND my predecessors had famously and repeatedly destroyed an entire region while somehow avoiding war crime prosecution, I’d keep a low profile.

That’s true, I just think they should be on the same side of the red line as chemical weapons.

Nations definitely stockpile them, but it’s a written rule that it’s against the rules of war.

I’m sure there were similar thoughts about the tank but it’s scary it’s just accepted

Drones should be an illegal weapon of war.

There should be some risk to a military operation to theoretically give people pause.

This is death by PlayStation controller.
