I'm certain ABC News will report:
ISRAEL BREAKS CEASEFIRE
KILLS MORE PALESTINIANS
That would be accurate factual reporting. Looks online, scrolls down numerous ABC reports. Nothing. 😠 #AlJazeera reports it. 👇 #JournalismMatters #Israel #Gaza #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine

Ahhh well.

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)

I agree. They will find a reason for recommencing the killing and destruction. Why stop now when they have almost reached their goal of destroying a civilisation? The ultimate goal is to make Gaza a Middle East riviera (by Trump’s own admission). The true definition of evil. #auspol

Dear Australian news media
When reporting Israeli claims that are demonstrably false, known lies, REPORT THIS! Some suggested phrases:
"Israel falsely claims ..."
"Israel repeated the proven lie that ..."
Words matter. Facts matter. Otherwise it's not #journalism, it's propaganda. #Israel #Palestine

I encourage you to listen to Greta Thunberg's full statement. Thunberg seeks a just and sustainable world for all, rather than short-term financial gain for the few. The West's political leaders are exposed as complicit, unprincipled or cowardly. End the occupation #SaveGaza #FreePalestine. #auspol

So having supplied Israel with weapons that have killed 100th of thousands Palestinians (yes, that’s right) and now having come up with a plan that only the genocidal Israel would have had a say in, he should receive the Nobel Peace Prize? Morrison is an embarrassment with a capital E! #auspol

@abcnewsbot.bsky.social why do you continue to mention that Israel denies the genocide every time it is mentioned? Is this to sow doubt that it somehow not occurring? It doesn’t matter what Israel denies it. It has been proven so STOP. #auspol
