#Auspol.

Just FYI for those that still doubt the ongoing genocide of the Palestine people.

For those wondering what ultimately led to Oct 7 uprising.

Now think.... if an illegal coloniser imposed this on you, what would you REALY do ?

Q: Did it really start on Oct 7?
A: Below is a list of laws and military orders, spanning decades, designed to suppress the Palestinian people. These policies target nearly every aspect of daily life with an intensity and focus that is unprecedented. The list is very, very long.

Have you tried calling a Federal Minister’s office at Parliament House recently? Don’t bother. No one answers.Seriously. There’s no receptionist or helpful adviser for punters like us. No human voice ...

IF GOVERNMENT COULD BE RUN LIKE A BUSINESS, A BUSINESS WOULD ALREADY BE DOING IT

Government exists to *prevent* society from being run like a business. That's its literal purpose.

Powerful speeches at the Sydney pro-Palestine rally in Hyde Park today before a large and engaged crowd. So many great signs but this was sadly my favourite. Thanks Palestine Action Group Sydney. #auspol #SaveGaza

Australia's alignment with tRump and Amerika ultimately threatens our own independence and capabilities

Trump’s approach to the UN undermines multilateralism, efforts towards peace and justice threatening our independence, which relies on multilateralism

The UN in Trump’s world and the implications for Australia’s independence
Unfair criticism has often been levelled at the UN. None has been so gratuitously nasty than President Trump’s 23 September 2025 General Assembly address.

about the only saving grace would be that QANTAS are that inept, they probably didn't have your data correct in their system anyway...

It's about time companies were forced to delete our information once it has proved our identity or the transaction it was supplied for is complete.

Some weirdo on Twitter has been absolutely melting down for like 36 straight hours because I posted:

When this is over, do not forget what ICE did, and what ICE is. And do not make room for them in society. Make sure they know that they are, and will continue to be, reviled and beneath contempt.

Spot on, Amy:

“…it isn’t only the [delayed payments] which causes the harm – it is all the fees [late fees, etc] that add up...

“People on welfare don’t have savings, because we don’t let them… You are paid below the poverty line, so every dollar is already spent before you get it.”

Australia's deliberately punitive unemployment "relief" system must end.

JobSeeker: Shame, and now with added AI slop

Shame and harm at every JobSeeker turn – and now added AI slop
The system is so convoluted and stacked against people that even if it worked as intended, it would still be not just harmful, but useless.

Americans complaining about Qatar building a base on American soil have got to be tone deaf.
Do they really think that the citizens of all the countries where there are American bases wanted them in their country?
I doubt it. I don’t want American bases in Australia.

Massive crowd in Melbourne/Naarm today (in case you thought this movement was going to be placated with more colonisation). Until the occupation ends. Until Western war criminals and their enablers face justice. Until Palestine is free.

I'm looking forward to the day you aren't PM any more, @albomp.bsky.social .Birds of a feather flock together says the old cliche. You go crawl after the corrupt rapist, don't take Australia with you. The US is not our friend. Are you blind or is that horror of orange offering you something special?
