❌Gaza: Alarming news❌Since last night, I've received reports that armed gangs are looting the remaining food warehouses, while Israeli drones are allegedly targeting local police and volunteers attempting to stop them. Israel must cease fostering chaos in Gaza, on top of

Biden didn’t “fail” to stop the Gaza genocide—he helped run cover for it. Now his own staff are admitting what we knew all along: there was never a ceasefire plan. Just lies, weapons, and mass death. mondoweiss.net/2025/05/biden-…

Screams of fear & panic as the israelis target the emergency family tents in Khan Yunis, south Gaza: they know they’re murdering children

Relieved Dutton’s out? Handy reminder: Albanese’s Labor government is, at best, complacent, at worst, complicit in Israel’s genocide. Gaza is being bombed, starved, erased. Voting out villains isn’t enough—we must still hold power to account on behalf of the most vulnerable.

The Landlord Parties truly hated him and naturally so did our billionaire-run media. They don’t care about community. Never have, never will. They care about their bottom line. The ALLNP worked together to get this result, but no doubt he’ll be back.

Amazing how many pundits knew in advance how disastrous Dutton’s leadership was but somehow forgot to say anything until now.

For three years, Labor claimed they couldn’t act without Peter Dutton’s support. That was always cowardly. Now it’s completely untenable. It's time for Labor to move beyond excuses and meaningless words – it's time for real action. Media release: lidiathorpe.com/_mr_no_excuse_…

On Saturday night I called Labor’s candidate Renee Coffey and conceded Griffith, and congratulated and wished her well. Griffith is a special community and an immense privilege to represent. Some thoughts in thread:

Israel's extremist government says it will occupy and ethnically cleanse Gaza. Children are starving under Netanyahu's murderous blockade of food and medical supplies. Albanese must now stop being complicit and take real action. He has no excuse. aljazeera.com/news/2025/5/5/…

UPDATE: Greens @ 11.8% and 0 seats. Nats @ 4.1% and 9 seats. Labor's massive "majority government" is based on a primary vote of 34.8%. The "wipeout" of the Coalition is only 2.7% less. The Greens' "disaster" is only a 0.5% decline. What do we need to do to get a Nordic style

And there you have it: Israel has confessed, indeed heralded, its intent to complete the Gazan genocide. And the EU? Mrs von der Leyen? Our great and good leaders? They are consenting through a studied silence. 80 yrs after its defeat, Nazism in back. theguardian.com/world/2025/may…

“77 miraculous years”. This is how the NSW Premier describes the apartheid regime bombing and starving kids in open genocide.

Remekis nails it. Australia rejected the Dutton-Murdoch agenda, now we’ll see if Labor does the same. australiainstitute.org.au/post/australia…

I’m one of many who have respect for #Greens Adam Bandt He’s made a great contribution showing a strong progressive position can win HoR seats. For now, he’s gone. I’m sure he’ll bounce back to make a strong contribution to justice and equality #AusVotes2025
