“Prison for refugees but red carpet for war criminals” sign at Melbourne Herzog protest.
Chanting “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” in #Melbourne. #Naarm A mass of people here to say Israel is a murderous state. #Auspol #Herzog visit disgraces us all, reminding the world Australia too is a white settler colony built on land theft and massacres.
#Melbourne #Naarm protest keeps growing.
Arrest #Herzog
#Auspol
The level of disappointment I feel for the Australian government supporting & enabling Isaac Herzog's visit is immeasurable. What happened at Bondi was a horrific terror attack & our government responds by inviting a man who incited & supported genocide to comfort the victims. Make that make sense?

Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems that two years of weaponised genocidal mass murder in Gaza has probably made global political violence and terror *MORE* likely, not *LESS* likely
And that opposing mass death makes you anti-terrorism, not pro-terrorism

December 22 2025.pdf To: American Academy of Pediatrics Attn: Debra Waldron, Sr. Vice President, AAP Funding for Award Number NU0IDD000032 is hereby terminated pursuant to 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(a)(4). This letter constitutes a notice of termination, effective December 22, 2025. Pursuant to the terms of your current Notice of Award and 2 C.F.R. § 200.340(a)(4), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) may terminate a Federal award "to the extent authorized by law, if an award no longer effectuates the program goals or agency priorities." CDC has determined that this award no longer effectuates agency and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) priorities. More specifically, your organization's award materials reflect design elements that are not aligned with current CDC ard His priorities to, to the extent permitted by applicable federal law, deprioritize diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives that prioritize group identity and to improve and protect the lives and health of all Americans. These priorities relate to the overall mission and functions of both HHS and CDC. Your application submissions and corresponding Award documents expressly center on identity-based language "Enhancing partnerships to address birth defects, infant disorders and related conditions, and the health of pregnant and postpartum people - Component A; Component B." Your Project Abstract states that AAP "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components" of its work and that the program will "address health disparities and advance health equity." It further asserts that "disparities caused by racism and poverty are only exacerbated during emergencies," and commits to "increased incorporation of diverse perspectives into clinical care and public health materials."
These elements are not incidental; they are woven through the title, narrative, and work plans of your organization's award project and define your organization's project's objective framework. As such, your organization's activities under Award Number NU84DD000021 are no longer in alignment with the stated HHS and CDC priority areas. After careful review, CDC has determined that this award must be fully terminated because the premises of the award are incompatible with agency and departmental priorities, making modifications or partial continuation impossible. Costs resulting from financial obligations incurred after termination are not allowable other than in accordance with 2 C.F.R. § 200.472 or as may be provided in additional further instruction from the agency. Nothing in this notice excuses either CDC or you from complying with the closeout obligations imposed by 2 C.F.R. §§ 200.344-200.345. Consistent with 2 C.F.R. 200.344, you will have 120 days, from the effective date of termination provided above, to liquidate all financial obligations incurred pursuant to the Award. Sincerely, Digitally signed by Jamie Legier Jamie Legier-S s Date: 2025.12.16 14:02:16-05'00 Jamie W.

I'm told that HHS has just terminated all funding agreements with the American Academy of Pediatrics.
Here's a letter HHS sent canceling one of the grants, relating to work on birth defects. Canceled because the project "emphasizes equity, diversity, and inclusion as key foundational components"

Brereton should resign, imo. He's personally compromised (defence), completely stuffed up the Robodebt investigation (and had personal connections with those involved), and his NACC has produced nothing else of any significance, despite thousands of referrals.
Ugh.
1. The "healthy food" is too expensive for people - a junk food tax won't change that.
2. We don't need a junk food tax - we have a duopoly that increases prices at an exorbitant rate already.
Subsidise whole foods and regulate Colesworth if you're so concerned.
