1/ Let’s start with the obvious: Hamas did release hostages. In November 2023, during a brief ceasefire, Hamas released 105 hostages—including Israeli women and children—in exchange for 240 Palestinian women and children held without charge. And what did Israel do?

Our PM acknowledges that Israel “quite clearly” continues to commit war crimes in Gaza, but will not be imposing sanctions over the conduct. #sydneycriminallawyers #israeliwar #gaza sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/australia…

stranger latest from the Zio lobby - it's immature to protest genocide. they ran out of material a year ago and now look absurd

A few weeks back, people were losing their jobs for saying that.

Coalition Tea Lady This is a ScoMo level of contempt to journalists and to the general public’s intelligence. Ministry of Truth type stuff.

Nothing cloudy or ambiguous here ⁦Dave Sharma⁩ and Mike Kelly - how did you miss it?

It’s now up to the Labor caucus to demand that the Executive implement Labor policy and recognise the Palestinian state. Labor members have been making speeches of support for years, time for action not timidity and excuses. cnn.com/2025/07/30/wor…

“A matter of when not if” says Jim Chalmers on recognition of Palestine It’s a matter of leadership, decency and morality. Just do it now and demonstrate our independence and sovereignty. Stop capitulating to Trump and Netanyahu.

Minister Wells was ordered by the Senate to give over her briefing docs in relation to gambling ad reforms. We got back blacked out pages. This Govt is the 2nd most secretive since '93. Judging from this, there's no indication that's changing soon. au.news.yahoo.com/ministers-coy-…

Wilcox's View: Palestinian statehood.

Nick Dyrenfurth, Murdoch’s favourite Labor person banging on about the truth and denying Palestinian recognition. How about the truth of decades of Israeli apartheid, ethnic cleansing, intimidation and unlawful killings of Palestinians. His memory is biased, short term and biased

Penny Wong. We welcome the momentum on the pathway to peace. Re Palestinian recognition and statehood. Well - increase the momentum. Declare our position to recognise Palestine.

Public service commissioner Gordon de Brouwer cleared by secret and unaccountable inquiry for the way he cleared Robodebt officials after secret and unaccountable inquiries. Honestly. He’s an absolute disgrace

Uninspiring, disappointing and underwhelming interview by Anthony Albanese on #7.30. Leadership requires courage commitment and action. Call out the genocide and stop calling it a “substantial loss of innocent life”. Not about “processes” it’s about courage and morality.

Doug Cameron Anthony Albanese Substantial loss of innocent lives? The Palestinians are being treated so much worse than any horror movie could ever imagine. The world has spectacularly failed the beautiful Palestinian people and I will never forgive or forget those who allowed this cruelty and barbarity.

Doug Cameron Anthony Albanese I just watched on IVIEW. It was a downright embarrassing performance from a prime minister. Nary a positive or affirmative response to any of the important questions. No emotion, just rigid and robotic.
