Lauren Stefanou, the acting principal legal officer with the Aboriginal Legal Service in NSW, says FPOs “not only grant police sweeping powers, they give police a blank cheque to surveil, stop, search, arrest and charge Aboriginal children and adults”.

1. Disarm the police - police in the UK don't routinely carry guns. 2. We need an Independent Investigation. The police chief has already said the police were justified. 3. We need housing and community health metal health not police. https://t.co/EfUpqtifh4

This has to be the final straw. Julie Tongs has been calling for an inquiry into AMC for a long time & I support her calls. Needs to look into AMC + why First Nations Canberrans are 21X more likely to be incarcerated. ACT gov can't keep ignoring this. https://t.co/IO633r0YbK

Trump’s proposal to relocate Palestinians, if it were without their consent, would constitute a war crime.

An Australian sports journalist was just fired for retweeting factual information about Israel's genocidal atrocities in Gaza. He was told it was because the sound of his voice was now making Jews in Melbourne "feel unsafe". I am not joking. This actually happened.
