“If any of you journalists are anxious about that story, from on, you can say ‘The operations in Gaza - which the commission of inquiry has found to be genocide…’ we can provide cover for you.

“And for the Prime Minister.”

You condemn Iran but not Israel's genocide of the Palestinians, @senatorwong.bsky.social? Nothing to say about Israel's recent bombing of Qatar? You say you have zero tolerance for foreign interference & violence in Australia, but you take orders from Washington & export violence to the Middle East!

Good old Aussie knowhow in every F-35 fighter jet slaughtering these refugees in their tents in Gaza.

Why is our government so complicit?

We are not children — we deserve some actual clarity.

ASIO and PM have a duty to explain their odd statements made yesterday:

▪️ASIO saying it “suspects” the IRGC.

▪️ASIO saying attacks are “linked” to the IRGC.

👉 ‘Trust, but verify.’

‘Mislead’ is a polite way of saying the government are liars — to cover up our supplying weapons parts to Israel’s genocide.

"The government has chosen to mislead the public and, even when caught out, refused to correct the record.”

Oh my dear @ABCnews — you did it..

An entire story on @abc730 about the famine inside Gaza — and not one mention of the word ‘Israel’.

Not one mention it is due to an Israeli blockade of food supplies — no mention it is an Israeli-forced famine — Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.

Excellent access, stunning filming and characters, sensitively told, compassionate, compelling
