Jess Wilson does an acknowledgment of country of Israel
Jess Wilson calls Jewish & ancestral ties to their land of Israel profound, sacred & never to be dismissed. Yet she’s vowed to immediately repeal Victoria’s First People’s Treaty despite 60,000+ years of connection to their own country. This country. What a kick in the guts.

Monica Smit is listed as the contact for two parties, "I'm Voting to Avoid the Fine" and "Climate Action Now". The parties are targetings seats the Greens want to win, as is pro-Israel activist Avi Yemeni and the five candidates of his "Free Palestine" party.

Palestinian children now enduring their fourth winter of this! Fourth.
As heavy rain & cold hit #Gaza, families and their #children are facing devastating conditions in makeshift tents with little protection. @UNICEF is doing what we can to support but much more needs to be done. Access for all aid & more funding is vital. Children cannot wait.

The US response to my UN report fails to refute any of my legal findings that the US has murdered 244 civilians at sea. Instead it resorts to childish name-calling. I’m obviously not a terrorist sympathizer - but the US is committing extrajudicial killings ohchr.org/sites/default/file…

He intended to kill Helen Haines. This is more than 'political violence' - it is a violent man choosing to kill a woman. This is male terrorism. Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke says the man in custody allegedly rammed Dr Haines twice in the car park outside her Victorian electorate office. He performed a U-turn to do this and then he reversed and hit her again. Right now, everyone is labelling his actions as a political act. But this is so much more. His intention was clear - to murder a woman. Gendered violence is Australia's biggest human rights violation and it is also epidemic in our country. We need to start labelling these acts for what they are. Male terrorism against women.
