Good investigating, exposing the soft power influence lobbyists enjoy while playing sport with pollies and journalists.

It isn’t necessary or ethical to have a parliamentary sports club pervaded by harmful lobbyists. FTO!

Mosab Abu Toha—

"A Palestinian hostage who’s just been released was told his wife and children were slaughtered by Israel while he was held hostage.

"His youngest daughter was turning two years old on Oct 18, in five days.

"You will not see this story on CNN, BBC, NYT, WP, or other MSM outlets."

That #Israel is no more safe and secure in 2025 than in 1948, or after 1956, 1967, and 1983 shows the limitation of its overwhelming power. Israel will never have peace or security until it has provided peace, justice and security to the people of #Palestine. @waterfordjack #auspol

The airstrikes may have stopped, but the real war in Gaza has just begun, a silent war of grief and shattered hearts.
Every night without those we lost, Gaza turns into one endless house of mourning.

And Australia was and is on the wrong side.
Our leaders will move on but we will remember they put us in a position of complicity to genocide. That is unforgivable.

When big business pays their share, it also adds to social trust. Actions not words.

If we want a better, more equal society, we need more tax. But more tax only works if big business pays their fair share | Grogonomics

Trust in both the tax and political system will falter if people feel they are being punished for not paying tax while large companies legally get away with paying nothing
