to my international followers: please share what’s happening in brazil. reports of public transportation cuts across multiple states are raising serious concerns about voter suppression, with people struggling to reach polling stations on election day. this is an attack on democracy unfolding in real time!!!!!

This is absolutely outrageous interference in one of the world’s biggest democracies.
Never seen this #WharfieTime thing and was super stoked to watch and instead got a car ad. Ffs. 🤣 #AFLGF

Malcolm Offord gubbed in his own Greenock constituency but will get to Holyrood via PR list system he doesn't even believe in. Nice one.

BREAKING: Reform UK’s leader in Scotland, Malcolm Offord, has failed to win in Inverclyde, coming third behind Labour and the victorious SNP

BREAKING: Reform UK Scotland leader Malcolm Offord secures just 18% in his constituency race. SNP hold in Inverclyde, comfortably ahead with 44.3%
Given the resources put in and visibility for Offord this is truly pretty bad for Reform

It’s time the Labor Caucus grows a spine and demands that the Cabinet and Hegseth’s mate Marles unequivocally condemns Trump, Netanyahu and Hegseth. Religious extremism underpins this illegal,disastrous war. Working class Aussies will pay the price not warmongering politicians.

End diplomatic relations with Israel. Recall UK Ambassador to Israel. End all defence exports to Israel. Boycott Israeli goods. Starmer ACT for once FFS.
My statement with France, Germany and Italy on our united opposition to Israel’s death penalty law.
The death penalty is wrong and we oppose it around the world.

Israel’s Ambassador to Australia says Palestinians deserve the death penalty because they’re “deranged” and “the usual punishments don’t work”.
This is what apartheid and genocide look like when they come together.
Disgusting.

I’ve had loads of abuse for this, predictably, and plenty of people have accused me of supporting Hezbollah. But no one seems keen to explain why targetting the Lebanese medics who came to help the 3 TV journos was justified.

Where happened to the call "all hostages must return home"? Why is Israel - who has no legal authority in Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem according to the highest world's court - continues to hold captive thousands of Palestinians, mostly without even charge or trial?

In response to my Carmichael Lecture Richard Marles asserts, without explanation, facts or reasoning that AUKUS is “ the heart of sovereignty”
Capitulating to US militarism, imperialism,and hegemony is the antithesis of Australian sovereignty. au.news.yahoo.com/leader-hit…

“It’s insane to still be saying ‘Israel has a right to defend itself’ when they are killing and ethnic cleansing.”
@mehdirhasan slams British politician Michael Gove when he denies genocide in Gaza.

Massive, peaceful March in Hobart opposing the genocide ,apartheid and starvation of Palestinians.
Much support for increased sanctions against Israel.
Much support for an end to the inhumane slaughter of Palestinians by the Israeli government. Tasmanians want action not words.
