Our questions for ABC 730 following the airing of this
shoddy story:

1) Who told you this report was commissioned in response to robodebt?

2) Are you aware that DEWR was forced to respond to revelations of unlawful decisions discovered by a welfare rights activist through FOI?

3) What gave you the impression this report about "policy", when it is explicitly a review into whether or not DEWR has operated the welfare punishment system unlawfully, and how doing so led them to unlawfully cut people off Centrelink payments, which the report confirms?

4) Did you actually even read the report you just covered on the public broadcaster’s flagship news program?

Up to 90% of all life on this planet died during the Permian Triassic extinction event when temperatures increased by 8C across 60,000 years.

We’re on track for a rise of 4C+ just in our children’s lifetimes.

It’s impossible to overestimate how much trouble we’re in.

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

As long as we get sausages in bread every three or four years, Australians are gonna sleepwalk their way through this fascistic global push. More of you need to be more serious, sooner rather than later.

In the Trump era, this is terrifying. Apparently criticising capitalism 🥴🤣 is terrorism now in the US.

The AFP has set up new National Security Investigations (NSI) teams to target groups and individuals causing high levels of harm to Australia's social cohesion.
The NSI teams will work closely with state and territory police, law enforcement and national security partners to provide a coordinated, consistent and intelligence-led response to security threats, and also work on a global level through operations, capabilities and relationships with the international law enforcement intelligence community.
There are current and emerging groups dispersed across Australia and in some cases, overseas, who are eroding our country's social fabric by advocating hatred, fear, and humiliation. While many of these crimes may not meet the threshold of terrorism, the AFP has identified concerning behaviours which could escalate to politically-motivated violence or hate crimes, which seriously put the Australian community at risk.
There is no place for hate or violence in our communities and the AFP will defend and protect Australia and Australia's future from these threats.
Anyone with information about possible threats to the community or suspicious activity should make a report to the National Security Hotline on 1800 123 400. In an emergency or life-threatening situation, contact Triple

Israel intercepts another Gaza aid flotilla amid criticism over treatment of activists

Israeli foreign ministry confirms interception and says those on board will be deported A new Gaza-bound aid flotilla has been intercepted by the Israeli army, days after the detention of activists on board vessels bound for the war-torn territory caused international outrage and widespread protests. The Israeli military was jamming signals with at least two boats being boarded, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition said on Instagram. Continue reading...

Fucking infuriating. Kudos, Dave, for keeping your cool - but also kudos for the appropriate message to the limp PM at the end of this exchange.

I rang DFAT, seeking information about Dr Bianca Webb-Pullman, the doctor we interviewed a few weeks ago on The Shot from the Sumud Flotilla. Here's how that call went.

"She could have had the lucrative career of performative activism she was being lined up for. But by shunning this path, she shows up so many liberals for the frauds they are. She also puts a spotlight on all the big climate scientists who’ve never once said genocide is bad for the environment."

The liberal class once hailed Greta Thunberg's values. But Thunberg stepped outside of her lane and transgressed against the only true values the liberal class understands: imperial values. For this they abandoned her open.substack.com/pub/donotpan...

Heroes all indeed.

Two cartoon panels. 1st with test above a drawing of baby formula - "So sail your ships filled with activists, journalists, comedians, celebrities, heroes all, arm them with keffiyehs and baby formula - one flotilla may not stop this genocide, nor two, or three..."
2nd panel with text above a drawing of boats flying Palestinian flags - "Let us launch a thousand flotillas - ten thousand general strikes, a hundred thousand demonstrations - whatever we can to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people. The next flotilla is already on its way"

In English, the claim they have not mistreated any of the flotilla crew. In Hebrew, they admit to brutalising them. Australian citizens are telling DFAT they are being tortured, DFAT and the government have said nothing. Makes you wonder, does Albo put Israel head of Australians?
