No, she will almost certainly run in the federal election somewhere in Victoria. She's moved back to Vic.

Vic Greens launched their campaign last night to a packed crowd. Fiery speeches from Hannah Thomas and the new federal leadership of Steph Hodgins-May and David Shoebridge went over well. The message has sharpened: "We're not here to make Labor better, we're here to replace them

A not to be missed cortisol lowering real journalism in action discussions. This is the hope we desperately crave ,for as Dave says a less overtly shitty Australia. So incredibly grateful for all involved.

The Sunday Shot will be back the Sunday after next (18th) with Hannah Ferguson and an in-depth exploration of why she is attempting to unseat the Prime Minister and her ideas for a better/less overtly shitty Australia

Got em rattled Dave. And Shoebridge's ascension is rattling them some more. The legacy media are being called out and they don't like it. Good!

Apparently you are quite the 'notorious anti-Semite' Dave....😂. They are coming for Shoebridge & you are clearly in the firing line. You've got them rattled. Love your work & your voice. You've got a strong following here.

You know you’re doing something right when the major forces turn on you Very impressed w The Shot, not afraid to tell the truth unlike msm which has sold its soul to highest bidder and now spews propaganda on a regular basis. They also wouldn’t know a conflict of interest if it bombed their house

Feels coordinated at this point. Six years of punching up and being quite deliberately ignored, frozen out of the conversation (we barged our way in anyway), and now attacks from Crikey, SMH and The Australian in just a few weeks....

I wasn't going to say anything at all, but a few lovely souls expressed concern when I stopped incessantly posting my rage, grief, work, bad humour and fluffy animals. 

I have just taken a smidgen of annual leave. It's been a while. And a crucial part of that actually helping me is being offline as much as (fucken) possible for a lil’ bit. The last few years have been… I dunno what the appropriate word is… let's just go with difficult. Hard. 

I'm not running away. Not retreating. Just breathing. Being invisible. Being human. I’d encourage everyone to do the same when and if the moment presents itself. The world is heavy, the fight is eternal, resistance is a collective effort, and these machines and platforms - as integral and powerful as they have become - feed on our souls. Please don't worry. Just having a moment. Thank you for caring xx

Multiple sources inside the baby-killing machine confirmed to us that two factories, one in Mulwala NSW and another in Benalla VIC, are manufacturing nitroglycerine, nitrocellulose, and RDX, all deadly explosives that end up in the blood-soaked hands of the IDF.

ICYMI: "in a healthy media environment...significant news implicating Australian complicity in a genocide would have garnered follow up coverage in mainstream press. But we do not have a healthy media environment. We have a fetid swamp." The political & media class work together to enable genocide.

The ADF ppl we spoke to said it's used to fire basically everything. In this case, mortars. But also everything else. This is compartmentalisation on a level that science needs to study. Really gross in the case of a genocide we're complicit in.

"Australia is not supplying weapons or ammunition to Israel, but that Australia .... provides components that the government describes as "non-lethal in nature"" Does Penny expect us to accept that bomb bay doors and high explosive are non-lethal?? There is blood on our hands here.

Thank you for your excellent work as usual, David. I wish more people would realise that if a government is willing to assist with the slaughter of people “over there” and want you to accept it, they would happily slaughter you “over here”.

‘Do Australian workers have the legal right to refuse to load these explosives? To not stain themselves on blood-soaked shifts? Does the MUA still have that fighting humanitarian spirit it was once so admired for?’ Many good questions here. #auspol

important to also note that the former chair of thales australia who made the nitrocellulose was *still on the board of thales australia* and simultaneously *chancellor of the university of sydney* when thales ramped up production for the genocide they named the business school after her
