The @albomp.bsky.social government has aided this horrific genocide by supplying parts for the IDF's F-35 fighter jets, and by being politically cowardly. Shame on you, @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social & Richard Marles.

We have normalised something completely fucking insane. Australia now has 178 billionaires worth $686 billion, while working people are skipping meals and struggling to pay their fucking mortgages.

"candidates include a former Liberal who won support from alleged underworld figures, a naturopath who endorsed Trump’s unfounded claim that paracetamol is linked to autism and a former shire councillor who lost his licence for drink-driving." One Nation's new vetting process is working a treat.

Apparently APS in certain departments are required to attend antisemitism training. Tax payer funds are being used to pay for APS to attend training where they are being told that it “hurts the feelings” of Jewish people (I.e. Jewish Zionists) to say that a genocide is being committed by Israel.
