“We will end up becoming a fringe party of the far right.” Turnbull in 2009. A very fine @AmyRemeikis piece https://t.co/iURYBQ4NPo

Turnbull was right. But it is the government that matters and for that, we must take these lessons and apply them where they count.

@cheryl_kernot Why is the NACC Commissioner on an $820,000 a year package if he can't even perform such a basic admin task?

Palestinian journalists reporting to the world from Gaza were murdered. ABC legend Kerry O'Brien's speech was cut in SMH published extract. Here it is in full.

This is the full unedited speech that Kerry O'Brien delivered at last Thursday's Walkley Awards.

So The Age & SMH have published O’Briens speech with all the references to Palestine edited out. Thus proving O’Briens point 🤔 #auspol
Kerry O’Brien comes out swinging and delivers a knockout on press freedom and the way out news is being distorted. #auspol

Don't you think the public has a reasonable expectation that the Commissioner of the NACC being paid well above $800,000 would consider this a full time job and not also seek to freelance outside of it?

We are meant to believe the NACC is still trying to establish if somebody should be held to account on #Robodebt. They are now preparing for their Xmas time-off while victims and their families have to see off yet another year without justice. I’ll be thinking of them this Xmas.
It’s almost 2yrs since the day Commissioner Catherine Holmes handed down her final report on Robodebt & referred those responsible for criminal prosecution. It was a day we felt like finally something was happening. I’m so sorry to all victims who are STILL waiting for justice.

I know you're busy celebrating your nuptials, @AlboMP, but care to make a comment? Any comment at all? I mean—Israel is still murdering Palestinian kids with impunity. Surely that matters to you as a champion for the rights of kids to enjoy a childhood. No? Maybe @SenatorWong?
صباح اليوم ، قتلت إسرائيل هذين الطفلين الشقيقين، البالغين من العمر 8 أعوام و11 عامًا، بواسطة مسيّرة إسرائيلية، فقط لأنهما تجاوزا ما يُسمّى بـ”الخط الأصفر” الذي لا وجود له على أرض الواقع. خطّ لن يفهم طفلان معناه، ولا لماذا قد يمنعهما من العودة إلى منزلهما الواقع داخل تلك المنطقة

Kerry O'Brien is still well-worth our time. Israel, the USA, and the many failures of Anthony Albanese are in his sights. #auspol #Walkleys #GazaGenocide #PressFreedom #RightToKnow

Faith isn’t measured by belief or church attendance, but by how we treat people who are struggling. If Christianity ignores poverty and injustice, it misses its own message. #Religion #FaithAndJustice #Christianity #Poverty #SocialJustice

The #RisingTide People's Blockade has turned around the first coal ship! Hundreds of kayakers joined the people's flotilla in support of a 78% tax on coal profits to fund a just transition for coal communities. Police are enforcing an exclusion zone & have made arrests

@YaThinkN If I was Commish Holmes, I'd take the risk and present the sealed section to the general public today. Fuck the consequences. It's in the national interest. Doing the right thing is a wonderful way to end your career.

Kerry O'Brien is from an era when real journalists roamed the media landscape. Good people want those days back but it won't under this albanese govt Press freedom is being destroyed from Gaza to America. Don’t think it can’t happen here | Kerry O'Brien

Anthony Albanese promised to end the ‘culture of secrecy’. With freedom of speech under attack globally, it’s past time he delivered

It’s one big club — and we are not members…

So this is Xmas, and what have we done, Another year over, at the barrel of a gun. And in Bethlehem the little baby laying in the manger was surrounded by frankincense and myrrh, and choking on teargas fired by the world’s ‘most moral’ occupying army. Hallelujah.
Israel teargassed a kindergarten near Bethlehem yesterday. Teargassed. Kindergarten. Bethlehem. And our entire political class is clamping down on dissent against this depravity with overt fascism. So yeah, happy holiday season, wtaf 🤷♂️

Dr Monique Ryan MP asking the question on all our minds today in Parliament. The Albanese Government's secret, wasteful and cruel Nauru deal is not our national interest - and it doesn't align with our shared values. It's time for the cruel offshore detention regime to end.
