What’s happening there is not a conflict or a war, it’s not a crisis and it’s way more than a war crime. It’s the systematic extermination of a people through indiscriminate killing and starvation - it’s GENOCIDE or HOLOCAUST committed by the monstrous zionist government of Israel. /2 #genocide

I am utterly sick of the deliberate semantic misrepresentation by our Parlamentarians of the ever worsening horrors in Gaza. This includes all members of the two major parties as well as most Independents. /1

Jillian Segal’s position has become untenable. @albomp.bsky.social needs to remove her from the position she should never have been appointed to in the first place as soon as possible.

Israel kills starving children and people seeking medical treatment every day. With impunity. Every fn day. If speaking out against this genocide and any enablers of it makes me an antisemite, then I will wear this badge with pride. Jillian Segal should be sacked and ASECA shut down. #auspol #Gaza

Many of the AS Commissioner’s current recommendations are completely over the top and yet, they have been elevated above genuinely urgent issues such as domestic violence, rising inequality, justice for first Australians and species extinction.

Both major parties are almost indistinguishable in Tassie. No appetite for fiscal reform, improving the revenue base (Saul Eslake’s recommendations would be an excellent start) or dropping unaffordable spending proposals. A sad state of affairs indeed.

Israel assassinated the director of the Indonesian Hospital, Dr. Marwan Sultan, and killed his wife and five children in a targeted strike on the family’s apartment in Gaza earlier today. There is now reportedly only one cardiologist left alive in northern Gaza.

The sane washing of kooks, crooks and fascists and constant false equivalence have been the media’s biggest failures as it has accelerated the rise of conspiracy theories, the dismantling of rational decision making and the demise of democracy.

So when will ABC apologise to Antoinette Lattouf, to viewers & taxpayers after it’s now confirmed they sacked her in order to appease pro-Israeli lobbyists who wanted to stop the truth coming out about Israel’s war crimes? Prob won’t say sorry, to appease pro-Israeli lobbyists!

Disagree. An illegal act by the national broadcaster, rather than a simple “managerial decision”, is worth a comment by at least the responsible Minister, reminding the ABC to make sure to act lawfully in future and thoroughly review their decision making processes.
