The Foreign Minister @senatorwong.bsky.social lied in the senate yesterday when she claimed the Iranian vessel torpedoed by the US was "preparing to strike."
The ship that was sunk in the Indian Ocean was unarmed and full of training officers. The attack was a war crime.
Resign, Penny. #auspol
An excellent sighting from Desmond Hume in Broome - where it is currently 32° House Swift #BirdsSeenIn2026
That. Is. Brilliant. Please can I steal? Also, they want to keep shooting Flying foxes in Christofoolery’s Queensland 😢
Christ-o-foolery! 😂 Sorry, gonna steal that one!
The Christofoolery government going the whole Right Wing Nutjob. The wording is interesting with the qualifier about being used to menace or offend. They giving themselves some wriggle room. I am offended when a Qlder calls NSW residents cockroaches. Is that a crime?
Will be interesting to see this getting challenged all the way to High Court
The disgusting AUKUS agreement has locked Australians into Trumps military madness.
The public can’t get an honest answer from our govt, we are treated with contempt as our military personnel engage in illegal US/ Israeli warmongering. What’s next, sinking Chinese warships?
Louise Lee had a wonderful trip in Far North Queensland last month. Papuan Frogmouth, Green Oriole, Metallic Starling, Orange-footed Scrubfowl and Wood Sandpiper. #BirdsSeenIn2026
Nice one Elke!
Rhymes with corruption.
So the Zionists get to have secret meetings with ASIO.
It’s secret because the Australian government is now being run by Israel . Burgess is working for Mossad and Albanese is a traitor
Politician at heart of $80 million Cayman Islands Watergate scandal quits Opposition front bench…
…In a bid to become leader of the Liberal Party of Australia.
I have been working on something very similar. I will let you know when I've got it completed. It's a very good point, the public needs to know who is funding this stuff.
We were told Herzog was here on a “pastoral” visit.
Why was a foreign head of a state that illegally forged Australian passports given privileged access to Australia’s security agency?
Who authorised the meeting ?
Why was the meeting kept secret from the public?
Answers needed
Yay! The clouds were gone for most of the show! Totality from the Gold Coast. #nikonz6_2
No Penny, it should not be left to the US to speak on the legality of unleashing war on Iran. As Iranian children are slaughtered the world faces escalating instability, battling Aussies face increased petrol prices, our leaders must lead! Morality comes before appeasing Trump.

Thank you! (I wonder how often that happens 😬)
Senator Cash Motion by leave—Iran I move—That the Senate: (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) congratulates the United States of America and the State of Israel for their sustained efforts to prevent the Islamic Republic of Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, acknowledging the long-standing threat posed by Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs to regional and global peace and security; welcomes the death of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a brutal dictator who has oppressed the Iranian people for decades, as a result of the American and Israeli attacks; reaffirms Australia’s rejection of any future Iranian acquisition of nuclear weapons capability, recognising such an outcome would severely destabilise the Middle East and pose unacceptable risks to international peace and security; condemns in the strongest terms the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for its sponsorship of terrorism globally, including its role in orchestrating antisemitic attacks targeting Jewish Australians on Australian soil, acts which represent a direct attack on our social cohesion and national security; condemns the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its use of statedirected violence and its support for proxy militant groups engaged in terrorist activities in multiple regions, undermining peace, stability and the rule of law; deplores the recent attacks by Iran on civilian infrastructure in Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, including the suspension of operations at Dubai’s major airports due to regional hostilities, and condemns the IRGC for targeting civilian populations and civilian facilities; and expresses strong support for the Iranian people in their ongoing struggle against the IRGC.
Oh piss off

"Lies and propaganda are being used to retrospectively justify this war."
ICYMI, brilliant analysis from John Lyons.
Many have noted what an asset he is to the ABC, when so many are parroting those lies.
The ABC needs more journos able to speak truth to power.

When women demand safety, economic parity and structural reform, they are often labelled “difficult”. That word shifts attention from inequality to temperament – and protects power from scrutiny, Janine Hendry writes.

Another instance of the Labor resources minister parroting the fossil fuel industry line.
Threats to funding is just another attempt to silence those who seek to hold fossil fuel companies accountable in court.
