I haven’t made a Bluesky Starter Pack until now.

This one packs a punch. Not just your usual suspects from your own corner. These folk are in your face with fact & analysis that the billionaire’s media don’t want you to see. A 🐺 pack to be part of…

It’s a big red flag to the Australian people on any issue the ALP chooses to negotiate with the Coalition over, since the rabble Coalition does not have the numbers for any effect

It means the legislation is not palatable to the Senate crossbench. Which means it is likely to benefit duopoly donors

The Government justified a clamp down on freedom of information requests by claiming an increase in malicious and automated FOI attempts. Only problem is, there's no evidence of such a thing.

Our research showed that the number of FOI requests has not increased, but processing time has. 🔗⤵️ #auspol

Stephen froze like a deer in the headlights and pretended to have connection issues because he unintentionally gave away the game plan.

“Plenary authority is complete, absolute power over a specific area or issue, with no significant limitations."

The flag is at least part of the issue.

Why would an Australian want to die for the flag with the Union Jack of a failing Great Britain in its corner?

Why would an Australian want to fight under a flag which represents the brutalisation of indigenous people?

Or a flag worn by bigots & racists?

CPP’s Raelene Sharpe says despite having spent hundreds of thousands on chasing Whistleblower Richard Boyle for 6 years & failing to have him convicted & jailed by the court, that it was still in the public interest to pursue him. Was it? 🤔 Yeah, right. #Estimates

“Chilled whistleblowing”.
Make no mistake Mark Dreyfus was firmly determined to make reforming our whistleblower protections part of his integrity platform. His ALP cabinet colleagues prevented it. This is disgraceful from our better gov option. #auspol

Having charged Richard Boyle for 66 offenses, tied up the courts for 6 years, spent $339,703 on external legal fees, chilled whistleblowing - with the Court refusing to convict - it’s mind-blowing the CDPP still thinks his prosecution was in the public interest. 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #auspol

Strong ties to #Auspol Right and Murdoch’s media in this 🧵

Lucy Hamilton @lucyham.bsky.social · 2d

If you are confused as to why a Jewish man like Stephen Miller is a central figure in the US Christian Nationalist project, it helps to see how pivotal Israeli Jewish Nationalists are in steering the religio-ethnonationalist movement. Using religion as a placeholder for “race”, ethnonationalists…

NatCon was formed around the work of Yoram Hazony, an Israeli Jewish-Nationalist, inspired by the beliefs of extremist Meir Kahane (but, he says, without the violence).
Hazony penned a "heartfelt farewell" to Kahane. Hazony co-founded the Atlas Network partner, the Shalem Center. (He also tried to explain why Hitler isn't a nationalist on John Anderson's YouTube channel.
Anderson is the co-founder of ARC.) You will see Hazony's name amongst the NatCon drafters below.
Atlas Network Directory 2021 Published.xlsx
NatCon is religio-ethnonationalism. It uses religion as a placeholder for race, although race is implicit in the three nationalist movements involved. Christian Nationalism and Israeli Jewish-Nationalism are core to the project. Hindutva Nationalism is also key but not foundational. The three movements depict Muslims as the enemy. (This fits smoothly into the Christian Nationalist movement because a Christian and Jewish
