Lake kayaker. Small-medium mountains OK too. On Ngunnawal/Ngambri country - #Canberra, Australia. Household cats are sucked in by progressive media. Views are theirs; sometimes mine.

The Israeli regime lies about the many journalists they have murdered. Just as they lie about all their war crimes. #GazaGenocide

Assal Rad speaks with @wajali.bsky.social about the manufacturing of consent for the #GazaGenocide. Her critique of US media applies even morseo to Australia, where the Murdoch-dominated legacy media is even more uncritically pro-Israel. #auspol

This summary from @sulliview.bsky.social of Perry Bacon's critique of the NY Times sounds all too familiar to Australians, who have been so frustrated by legacy media's tepid response to the fascist threat represented by One Nation. #auspol

We're seeing the same in Australia. The Israel lobby's response to the growing disgust at the rogue state's genocidal behaviour is to increase the lies and try to suppress any Israel-critical views with stupid accusations of antisemitism. #auspol

In my home town Canberra, two cyclists were killed and three injured recently when they were hit by a car they were sharing a road with. I visited Copenhagen soon after and realised that such a tragedy would be close to impossible, because of the well-organised separation of cyclists and cars.

The author has picked two wildly differing world leaders. Spain's Pedro Sanchez has already backed his words with actions. Australia's Anthony Albanese is all piss and wind, allowing his foreign and defence policy to be directed by the US and Israel. #hypocrisy #auspol

These tactics are so familiar to Australians. The PM's Special Envoy for Israel, Jillian Segal, has been working hard to suppress arts and culture bodies from engaging *anyone* who dares state the facts about the genocidal rogue state. #auspol

Unlike Sheeran, many other artists "understand that losing financial and professional opportunities and creating inconvenience is precisely what it takes to show backbone and stand against genocide and billionaires crushing free speech."

A key point here from the courageous Mary K. It's not just ZFA who was attempting to silence her and any others who dare to criticize the genocidal rogue state. It's the PM and too many other 'leaders' who have caved in to the Israel lobby. #auspol

I’m attracted to the ‘DEI’ arrangements in Copenhagen, where cyclists and pedestrians are separated from cars very efficiently. Which leads to ‘woke’ results like few road accidents, more bike usage, better #publichealth, and a less stressed population.

Laura Tingle is far too polite about the Australian government. What *is* clear is that Anthony Albanese and his ministers remain hopelessly, sycophantically, and dangerously in lockstep with the Trump regime. #EndAUKUS #auspol

"Must read" can be overused, but this is it. Anthony Albanese needs to read Flanagan's words. He just might understand the huge mistake he made appointing Jillian Segal, and resourcing Israel's toxic foreign influence operation. Except that he has "all the spine of a liquorice stick". 💥 #auspol
