Serious people who know something about a complex topic sit down and talk about it. And we get to listen.
Seriously, Australian mainstream media, you are pointless. Long live independent media. Long live podcasters who know their shit.

The extent of the secrecy of the trip became apparent when a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for details on the trip returned a staggering 70 pages of near-total blackouts and redactions.

It really was a brilliant interview wasn’t it ?
Intelligent knowledgeable experienced.
A justifiable indictment on almost every journalist in this deluded democracy that is Australia.

In the same month that the UN Commission of Inquiry came out and said that there is a genocide in Gaza, the Albanese Government handed over $20 million to an Israeli arms manufacturer that tests its weapons in Gaza.

Btw, the Mellon Auditorium has a 22,000 sq ft neoclassical ballroom 8 mins from the White House that the govt helped restore in 2022. Total Trump aesthetic.
Knocking down the East Wing has nothing to do with building a ballroom. Building a ballroom has nothing to do with building a ballroom.

Interior shot of a gaudy be-columned space, every bit as gilt and tasteless as Trump could desire.

Every Australian journalist should listen to EVERY WORD of this articulate informed podcast.

Australian journalists, YOU are complicit in the genocide of Palestinians.
Don’t listen to me I’ve got no voice. Listen to those who actually know.

The electorate voted for a senate that has a majority of ALP and Greens.

Murray Watt and the ALP are choosing instead to write laws that will please the LNP and mining companies.

This is not the outcome a majority of Australians voted for.

Jonathan Green @greenj.bsky.social · 3d

I’m getting weary of this. This government is representative of what the people of this place want. The argument is with all of us. Turning it into a constant personalised political snipe belittles the nature of the problem.

By blocking aid and refusing access to media, Israel is trying to hide, and continue, its genocide in Gaza.

You could give this lot 20% of our GDP (which is a little less than the cost of AUKUS nuclear subs) and they’d show up with a handful of boats, hundreds of promotions, some very happy US and UK weapons manufacturers and a glossy brochure explaining their optimal pathways.

UNRWA has enough food outside #Gaza to supply people there for 3 months, amid desperate need. Our teams stand ready to deliver it.

But despite the #ceasefire, the Israeli Authorities’ block on UNRWA bringing any supplies into Gaza still continues.

Let us get aid into Gaza at the full scale needed.

don't worry, Sam Altman is confident that his efforts to eliminate vast numbers of jobs will all just sort of work out for the unemployed, eventually, possibly after they starve to death, which is technically a form of having it work out

Why should genocide victims have to make concessions to their executioners? It’s obvious that Israel—not Gaza—needs to be demilitarized. I talk about the traps set in Trump’s new “peace plan”
