Sussan Ley *shouting* that she hasn’t seen Penny Wong shed a single tear, in an obviously-scripted tirade for the assembled cameras.

Albanese has I think showed very strong leadership in the wake of the Bondi massacre. Has not attempted to self aggrandise as others have, has stayed out of the gutter politicking by Ley and Frydenberg. Got on with tightening gun laws.

The Victorian opposition is now a religious, cooker debating club masquerading as a centre-right political party. If journalists were to ask them questions (you know, do their job) about abortion, LGBT+ rights, assisted dying etc. they’d crumble like a deck of cards.

Powerful Stella prize speech from Michelle de Kretser:
“In Australia today it isn’t those applauding mass murder who have cause to be afraid, but those speaking out against it. Principally targeted are Palestinians, Arabs, Muslims, First Nations people, people of colour, queers.”

I find myself completely unable to function today. I’ve seen a child surrounded by the flames of what was her family home. Starving babies. Defeated, broken men. Women cradling their shrouded children. It’s too much. And yet I still have to hear ‘but Hamas..’ FUCK OFF. Israel is committing genocide

Gaza’s endless genocide: When killing becomes policy and justice disappears
What is happening in Gaza today is not an incidental event nor the result of a “military error” as claimed by some media outlets supporting the occupation. Rather, it is a clear extension of a colonial approach built on the foundations of extermination, exclusion, and uprooting. From the Balfour Declaration in 1917 to the Nakba in 1948, from the invasion of Beirut to the successive wars on Gaza, this genocide forms part of a clear colonial system that seeks to empty the land of its people by all means, the most horrific being the killing of children and civilians to...

Was the State Library of Queensland forced by the state arts minister to rescind Ren Wyld's book prize & fellowship after she'd travelled to Brisbane for the ceremony? If you punish someone for opposing genocide, you need to say that out loud for the record, not just leak it to the Oz. How shameful.
