They won’t say a word. Too gutless. But it doesn’t matter what Labor MPs think. It’s the party rank and file who will be disgusted. and angry, and they will say so.

I thank both the Prime Minister and Minister Keogh for personally reaching out to make the offer.
I also thank Angus Taylor and Michael McCormack for their kind words of support of this appointment.

🇵🇸 Palestinian flags are flying in the streets of South Korea.

If some1 had a sign that read “from the outback to the sea make Australia Z***ist free” they would be arrested, so why isn’t this person arrested? We have a double standard in this country, should be addressed. We need equality 4 all, not just one subsection of society #auspol
No.
This poll predates the appointment by the PM of Peter Dutton to the War Memorial Council
That’s sure to turn things around

jeez for a moment there thought Albanese was taking about himself...
Albanese on Dutton:
"He has made a career of promoting division, punching down on vulnerable people, seeking to divide the community, engaging in culture wars."

FFS. This is bizarre.
Former Liberal leader and Defence Minister Peter Dutton will join the Council of the Australian War memorial with the Albanese government praising his record on driving “major reforms” on national security and military readiness

Shit like this just illustrates how owned the Labor party is. Obviously some donor/owner pulled some strings to get Dutton this post.
Then again, Albo's already proven he doesn't give a shit about Australian's who voted for him sensibilities, so could just be mates game 🙄
Remind me: in what theatre of battle did @Hon_PeterDutton serve?
(I'm sure he'd have done the same for you, @AlboMP .../s).

I used to work for @BBCNews. I simply do not recognise what it has become.
I mean it was always afraid of its "public opinion" and felt the pressure of "the licence fee" keenly. It always had a whiff of arrogance around it too but that it wanted to do good. Not any more
Perhaps the most heartless BBC interruption in this compilation is this one:
Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam Policy Lead for Palestine, explains how his family in Gaza have never been allowed to leave Gaza, and how Israel is besieging the Strip and causing mass displacement.
The BBC: "I'm sorry this is obviously very personal, difficult situation for you and your family, and as you would understand as well, Israel would say well, they can't live next door to Hamas."
There is nothing journalistic about this. There is no world where that is a rational, humane response.
The presenters and journalists at the BBC are reading off a strict script where they have to staunchly defend the apartheid entity at all costs.
They have weaponised the term "impartiality", which is what they cite when they launder propaganda. But as we've proven, this "impartiality" has only worked one way.
They interject much less when they platform genocide deniers, and have never volunteered the other things that "Israel says", such as the genocidal statements from Netanyahu, Gallant, Katz, Smotrich and Herzog.
The free press.
Can’t recall a period when the very underpinnings of ‘Western liberal democracies’ have been so comprehensively exposed. The impartiality or simply a commitment to evidence based reporting by Western media being one
It’s hard to grasp the BBC’s systematic attempt to launder Israeli propaganda until you see the sheer scale of it. Here's a compilation of them doing it at 2x speed.
The latest was on Newsnight on 4 November. When Bernie Sanders called Israel’s government extremist, Victoria Derbyshire answered for it: “And the Israeli government would deny that they are extremists.”
As this video shows, BBC presenters repeatedly do this as guests describe Israel’s crimes: “Israel would say.” “Israel would deny.” “They would reject that.”
We counted 70 of these denials and justifications in 52 aired interviews. The BBC calls this impartiality. But in not one of those 52 did a presenter raise any of these words from Israel’s own leaders:
- “We are fighting human animals.” Yoav Gallant, 9 October 2023
- “It is an entire nation out there that is responsible.” Isaac Herzog, 12 October 2023
- “They will not receive a drop of water or a single battery until they leave the world.” Israel Katz, 13 October 2023
- “Remember what Amalek did to you.” Benjamin Netanyahu, 3 November 2023
- Starving two million people in Gaza until the hostages came back might be “justified and moral”. Bezalel Smotrich, 5 August 2024
On 10 October 2023, Tahani Mustafa told the BBC that Israeli forces were not distinguishing civilians from fighters. The presenter replied: “They would reject that.” Mustafa then had to bring up Gallant’s “human animals” herself. The BBC supplied the denial. The guest had to supply Israel’s own words.
That is cherry-picking. The Royal Charter requires the BBC to be impartial, and the public pays for it through the licence fee. In these interviews, it handed its audience Israel’s denials and left out its leaders’ own words, during a genocide streamed live to the world.
We have archived the BBC’s coverage for three years, and we are now counting all of it: 50,000 video clips and many more written excerpts.
We are calling this first part: "BBC: The Would Say Files".
Handing Israel its denials is only one of the ways the BBC launders Israeli propaganda, so we will count every other technique too. Over the next few weeks, we will announce each milestone as we complete the report.
These are the first results, with every clip, quote and source: newscord.org/editorials/bbc-…

Your Ugly Empire is Guilty as it is Guilty in the Genocide Today in Gaza.
Professor Marandi: Who was al-Qaeda? They were working with you in Afghanistan. And then 10 years later in Syria, in Libya, al-Qaeda was cooperating with you. We have an email from Jake Sullivan, February 12, 2012, that he sent to Hillary Clinton, where he said, is on our side. The dirty war in Syria, the dirty war in Libya is yours. These are your crimes, and you cannot escape from it. So we are the victims, and your ugly empire is guilty as it is guilty in the genocide today in Gaza.

Literally no Muslim in the world is shocked. Lol.
This is not news.
Edward Snowden leaked 10 years ago that MI6, CIA and Mossad worked together to create and train ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram and every local off-shoot terrorist group.
And just last year, US congressman Scott Perry whistle blew that the US has been funding all these groups through USAID.
But guess what the biggest tell has always been?
The people these “Muslim terror groups” love to kill the most are Muslims! And only carried out their first controlled attack on Israel in 2017 when rumour mills started to reveal the Mossad connection. (Spoiler alert: it was a false flag).
So, despite years of you telling us that “Muslim radical Islamist terrorists” are the greatest threat to western civilization and they especially “hate Jews” they mainly target their own people and not their “greatest enemy”?
Lol.
Here’s something else you might mot know, and it’ll help explain the below - Iran has been fighting to try and eliminate these groups for decades!
“Al Qaeda urges Muslims to back Israel over Iran”. Yeah, no shit, Sherlock, because they are Israel and Israel is them.
