Don't let the new and escalating horror that Israel and the US are perpetrating overshadow Gaza.

This from Richard Engle, chief foreign correspondent for NBC News, last week.

This govt is rogue when it comes to transparency, picking and choosing when to follow international law, and seeding our sovereignty to Israel and US. Don’t get me started on climate!

Want to understand complicity?

When you look at the news, look carefully at the impact on civilians, the refugees fleeing, the total destruction of neighbourhoods and infrastructure

Albanese supports that

Australia needs to read its own geography. As AU deepens its alignment with Washington through AUKUS & expanded military integration, it risks compromising the regional trust & autonomy that underpin its long-term prosperity & security.

"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on America’s side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

Muslims 'should not be forced to beg' for protection, Labor MP says Labor backbencher Ed Husic says Islamophobia should be examined as part of Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

β€œThe royal commission is about both antisemitism and social cohesion, and if there is not going to be an examination of Islamophobia, that is really concerning," he told the ABC.

"Muslim Australians should not feel [like] they have to beg for protection."

I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement.

The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual.

It’s a question of policy not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.

Good question to Tony Burke - why was Isaac Herzog visiting ASIO if he was on a pastoral tour? Of course Burke bullshits an answer. 😏 #RNBreakfast

When the President of the United States views "We the People" as a threat to his power, he has abdictated his sworn duty to serve us and must be immediately removed from office.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

During an illegal war, Albanese and Wong treat us like idiots Anthony Albanese and Penny Wong obsessively talk about international law, but go silent when Israel and the US breach it. It's part of a broader picture of refusal to be honest with Australians.

Opinion | Labor will go to any lengths to refuse to describe the attack on Iran as illegal. It’s part of a broader patterns of hostility to transparency, writes Bernard Keane. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/05/i...

Yep, multi disciplinary approach but they won’t go with that, for example clear evidence from neuroscience of the role that the default network plays in keeping us healthy and productive, and it’s not supporting the number crunching overlords perspective but in us rediscovering non work priorities

The Constitution is clear: Congress decides on war. When a president uses military force without authorization and Congress stays silent, they are abandoning their role as a co equal branch of government. War is the most serious power our government has. Shame on the U.S. Senate today.

Former PM Tony Abbott, a prick I wouldn’t piss on if he was on fire, had more integrity when he threatened to shirtfront the Chinese PM. Albanese the syncophant refuses to listen to the Australian public and seeks to curry favour with a paedophile. That says a lot about his values.
