Two US military reconnaissance jets don’t swing by Western Australia for a joy ride. These jets are critical for the attack on Iran and this was an "unexpected" visit in the middle of that major US air war. The lies are stacking up.

As WAHOO gets closer to Gaza, some 420 nautical miles, ~ Sydney to Brisbane, and enter the ‘critical zone'  area where Israeli Occupation Forces usually violently intercept humanitarian flotillas, I’ve emailed Department Of Foreign Affairs 7 times to ask for help, but with no response.
My family and friends have called them and they were told 'she should consult the Smart Traveller website. We are peaceful ordinary citizens doing what our government should be doing - delivering baby food and medicine to the remaining Palestinians left alive who have been intentionally starved and slaughtered by genocidal Zionists. In international waters.
We deserve protection. The IOF has already bombed us twice on this mission destroying boats and they are now threatening an escalation in their attacks, a boat prison and lengthy prison terms. And I am told to look up the Smart Traveller website. WTAF. Thank you Albo. Very kind of you Penny. Your government is rotten to the core.

NAIDOC 2025: A Voice To Parliament Finally Achieved
A 2 panel political cartoon titled “NAIDOC 2025: A Voice to Parliament Finally Achieved.”Top panel: An Aboriginal Elder with a YES23 badge addresses PM Anthony Albanese. She says:“Can we have a Voice to Parliament — to speak on genocide, systemic neglect, our right to self-determination, and to advocate for our communities with respect and honesty?”Albanese replies:“Uh… well… that would require a costly, divisive, uncertain referendum…”Bottom panel: Jillian Segal, wearing Israeli and South African flags as lapel pins, speaks forcefully to Albanese.She says:“We want to radically shape national policy and gain sweeping powers to censor speech — across education, media, the arts, and public life — to protect a foreign apartheid state currently committing genocide. Highlighting dead Palestinian children makes Zionists uncomfortable. We want that silenced.”Albanese, now smiling with blood on his hands, replies eagerly:“Say no more!!!”
