Netanyahu announces Israel will not abide by the terms of facilitating humanitarian aid, despite it being a key ceasefire agreement clause.

Didn't take long, did it?

The sad thing is you can substitute almost any other policy issue for "superannuation", and your prediction still works.

Anyway, this is just pre-emptive bitch in case the PM forces Chalmers to negotiate with the Libs over superannuation rather than just band with the Greens & pass the bill as is.

Grow up and use the Greens to pass the policies you want.

(Prob tho, when the PM prefers politics to policy)

For the avoidance of any doubt:

TRUMP CONFIRMS HE WAS AN ACTIVE PARTNER IN THE GENOCIDE:

'Bibi Netanyahu would call me so many times asking for weapons I never even heard of, but we got them here didn’t we? You used them very well" (the 'ceasefire' press conference 13/10/25).

Watching this signing of the Gaza 'agreement. It's amazing how there's ALWAYS 'eye friendly'(Trump acceptable??) females of a certain age with long hair to do his bidding at these ceremonies. I wonder if there's a female over 50 yrs on his staff?

"Israel also forbade people from celebrating the release on Monday, firing teargas at family members and journalists waiting near Ofer prison in the occupied West Bank, where detainees were kept. A flyer distributed by the Israeli military warned people that “we are surveilling you everywhere”"

"... some bearing the marks of recent beatings and a few unable to walk without being propped up by their relatives.

When asked about their treatment in the prisons, a prisoner apologised and said he could not answer, for fear that he would face repercussions from Israeli authorities"

So is ABC or any media going to show us or spk to any Palestinians who are miraculously still alive after 2yrs of daily bombings by Israel? Seems pretty one sided at the moment. Palestinians wrongly held captive by Israel are also being released today, barely a mention.

The first Swiss journalist to reach Gaza under the army of genocide lost his temper at the horror he witnessed, saying: “Humanity was destroyed here.”

We renew our call on international media and investigators to pressure the genocidal state to allow immediate access to Gaza.
