صورر جديدة تسربت الليلة للمسنَّين الفلسطينيين نادي وعلي معروف التُقطت قبل ساعات من اعدامهما على يد جيش الاحتلال في بيت لاهيا شمال غزة في نوفمبر/تشرين الثاني 2024. استُخدما دروعا بشرية من قبل قوات الاحتلال قبل أن يتم اعدامها بدم بارد

If Pauline Hanson wants a 'monocultural' society she's come to the wrong place. This land has held the world's oldest living cultures for 65,000 years. We've built one of the most successful multicultural nations on earth. Her "one cultural umbrella" is division, not unity.

The regulator for Australia’s health practitioners, Ahpra, has shut down anti-trans lobbyist and Queensland psychiatrist Andrew Amos, banning him from social media and barring him from having direct clinical contact with any patients. starobserver.com.au/news/and…

Proof that Drew Pavlou is just a racist dogwhistler - the kidnappers were white 🤌🏻
This story is unreal. A brutal Lebanese crime gang from West Sydney (the Alameddine crime family) kidnapped an 85 year old grandfather named Chris Baghsarian in a case of mistaken identity. They apparently cut off one of his fingers and they are still holding him hostage even though they got the wrong guy - he has absolutely no link to organised crime. Just a random old grandfather. I am so sick of Lebanese gangsters in West Sydney. Seriously DEPORT anybody linked to these gangs.

HEALTH: Privatization of hospitals generally corresponded with worse quality of care, fewer cleaning staff per patient, higher infections and higher rates of avoidable deaths, according to a study published in The Lancet Public Health.

Like many before us, the Climate Council is farewelling X. X is no longer the best place to communicate evidence-based climate science or shape national conversation. As misinformation grows, staying on X compromises our values. Head to climatecouncil.org.au to stay in touch.

Aggressive behaviour in Parliament is unacceptable, and it needs to be called out.

The footage out of Sydney overnight is abhorrent. Peaceful protesters set upon by an army of police, punches thrown at people with raised hands, people praying ripped from their knees. Is this violence the social cohesion that Labor wanted?

The recent footage of Muslims praying in the city during the protest against the appalling visit of the Israeli President, being heavy-handedly pushed and forcibly moved by police while in prayer, is shocking, deeply disturbing, and entirely unacceptable. Police are entrusted to protect the community, uphold public safety, and de-escalate tensions, not to interfere with religious worship or inflame an already sensitive situation. ANIC is outraged by this footage and has raised urgent and serious concerns directly with the NSW Police Commissioner and relevant ministers. The NSW Government and Premier Chris Minns must take responsibility for this conduct and ensure accountability at the highest levels. This treatment of worshippers is unacceptable in any circumstances. It undermines community trust, offends fundamental freedoms, and must be immediately investigated, rectified, and prevented from recurring.

There is no reason for stopping these people marching to the NSW parliament a few blocks away. No reason at all. The ban is an iron-fisted overreaction and stupidly counter-productive.

‘Social cohesion’ is apparently when police punch peaceful protesters and grapple men who are just praying

Australia now has some of the democratic world's most draconian anti-protest laws. Today a man was arrested as an "agitator" simply for peacefully yelling "shame" in the direction of the visiting Israeli President, on the basis it may have "incited fear" smh.com.au/national/nsw/herz…
