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

I am beyond furious at the sheer hypocrisy. So many of you have sent me this disgusting image of a man standing on the steps of Parliament on February 23, openly declaring that all Palestinians are terrorists—without fear, without consequence, in broad daylight. Yet, when I said

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 Gaza plan: We had beachfront views. US bombs destroyed them. We will rebuild
theage.com.au
Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza doesn’t surprise me. Palestinians have always understood what repeatedly targeting us with 2000-pound bombs was about.

Trump’s Gaza takeover would be illegal. Nations such as Australia must push back

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.
