Child protection demands accountability from families. But when warnings are missed, support arrives too late and children leave care without security, who holds the system accountable? Komla Tsey writes. #auspol #ClosingTheGap
pearlsandirritations.com
Child protection scrutinises families. Who scrutinises child protection?
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children are increasingly overrepresented in out-of-home care. Protecting children means making the system answer for the warnings it misses and the failures it repeats.

An accurate assessment of Israel’s brutal crimes, backed by most of our governments, in Palestine. Israel has levelled Gaza with weapons, intelligence, and even fucking soldiers, Australian and other genocidal western Zionist ‘volunteers’ to the Israeli occupation forces, from our governments.

Sydney Uni Senate to decide if free speech is okayAlthough the request to hold a Convocation was signed by almost 600 alumni, academics and former Fellows of Senate, the Chancellor of the university, David Thodey, rejected it.He also insisted the Senate would not be able to limit the university’s ties to Israel, which highlights why a Convocation is necessary. As though concern with alleged antisemitism was the university policy priority, he reasoned that any resolution of the Convocation would come bNo dissent allowed

Israel has prevented Australian-donated wheelchairs from reaching children in Gaza. First the Israelis savagely injure these kids, murder their families and friends, and then stop them from receiving aid. Can there be a more cruel regime anywhere in the world? www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

A strong piece on the Israeli lobby’s plans to exercise control of Australian arts funding bodies. The ever-useful IHRA definition of anti-semitism which conflates criticism of Israel with anti Jewish racism is the tool they plan to use for their censorious intentions. They gotta be stopped!

These are the thugs from illegal Israeli settlements that the Australian Goverment is refusing to impose economic sanctions on. Products produced in these settlements continue to be sold in Australian shops. By refusing, Albanese is providing aid to the violence inflicted on Palestinian families.

Australia should scrutinise China’s government, military power and human rights record. But criticism becomes something darker when a state, a civilisation and a people are collapsed into a single threatening enemy, John Frew writes. #auspol #China #AustraliaChina

Australia should be able to scrutinise China without turning a government, a civilisation and a people into a single threatening enemy.

US shipyards cannot build enough Virginias, Britain’s submarine fleet is struggling with sustainment, and Australia’s own infrastructure is running late. It is time to abandon the AUKUS pathway and seriously assess a French LEU alternative, Peter Briggs writes. #AUKUS #auspol #Defence
pearlsandirritations.com
AUKUS is a $368 billion gamble Australia does not need to take
US production shortfalls, Britain’s submarine crisis and Australia’s own infrastructure delays are eroding the assumptions behind AUKUS. It's time to take a different path.

This is, in a big way, a result of the US, Britain and rest of the West giving Israelis total impunity as they’ve broken international law time and time again. Even now their arrogance is driven by their historic crimes having no consequences because of the strong arm protection of imperialism.

Do white people ever think, "I wonder what it would be like if every book I read or TV or film only had Black people in them?" Just constantly inundated with images of Black people, in our vastness. Probably not, but, I dare say, it would change how they view everything. Representation matters.
