Such a childish interview with Sarah Ferguson and Barnaby Joyce. I think they enjoy playing hide and seek together. Embarrassing to watch. #abc730

Opinion | The NACC has yet to land a single major finding from over 5,000 referrals. The strain on the organisation is beginning to show, but there has been little evidence of meaningful change.
Does the NACC have any hope of regaining public trust?

Kidnapped in international waters, extraordinary rendition to a genocidal state, and then imprisoned indefinitely.

You'd think this would trigger the immediate expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador for these inexcusable actions against an Australian citizen.
An Australian woman who has not agreed to sign a waiver acknowledging she sought to 'illegally break Israel’s naval blockade' on Gaza will be “indefinitely detained” in Israel’s Ketziot prison unless she agrees to sign the waiver.

“It’s not just Netanyahu, but the State of Israel that is committing crimes. States must act by severing strategic, military, and economic relations, otherwise they become complicit. The responsibility also falls on us citizens.”

Chris Hedges is right, @PressClubAust.

You're not a "press" club. You're a "club" of Zionist toadies who are happy to give your podium to liars and frauds but shun truthtellers b/c you're scared.

We need more Sidoti and Saul, not less. Your #GazaGenocide complicity is noted. #auspol #NPC

A crack in the AUKUS public relations pressure hull! - Michael West
AUKUS is a hugely expensive Defence project facing considerable and, many argue unsurmountable, hurdles. But does Defence have a Plan B?

Meanwhile in Australia, the so-called National Press Club cancels decorated journalist, Chris Hedges, who was to speak on the "amplification of Israeli lies in the press, which most reporters know are lies, betraying Palestinian colleagues who are slandered, targeted and killed by Israel"

according to this poll, the political class - major party politicians, corporate media outlets, institutions like Creative Australia and the ABC when they yield to orchestrated pro-Israel campaigns - represent about 20% of the general population on Gaza.
NEW: Australians overwhelmingly recognise and oppose the genocide in Gaza and want the government to do more to stop it, according to a new poll released today.

This appalling DFAT statement demonstrates just how far the Australian government has been captured by Israel and its lobbyists, and Israel's key genocide enabler the US.

If the five Australians detained and mistreated by the IDF behave themselves, Penny Wong just might express her serious concern.
Australia calls on unarmed civilians sailing lawfully in international waters and upholding international law, namely the convention on prevention of genocide, and Israelis committing an aggressive illegal military attack to respect international law [paraphrased] can they fucking hear themselves?
Shifting sands though!

There are several strange and worrying observations in this 'analysis'.

But perhaps the scariest sentence is this:
