As Al Jazeera reported at the time, Netanyahu had pledged to accept the plan when standing next to Trump at the White House.

"But a few hours later — and this time speaking in Hebrew rather than English — Netanyahu couched that agreement, telling his domestic audience...

"...for now, Israel had stopped its indiscriminate bombardment of Gaza, which has left more than 67,000 people dead, thousands more injured and a population of more than 2 million starving, traumatised and displaced." #Gaza #Israel

This isn’t fearmongering — it’s reality. Hospital-acquired COVID can delay care or cost you your health — even your life.

Infection control measures — masks, ventilation, testing, and staff/patient protections — should be standard care in every healthcare setting.

Some day you’ll be in hospital for surgery or chemotherapy or with another illness & a nurse, or doctor or visitor at the next bed, or the patient opposite you will give you a Covid infection & your treatment will get delayed & your life will be put at unnecessary risk.

True. And there's always a personal agenda with Trump.

Trump is lapping up the accolades he's receiving across the world. Sure, it's a great outcome if in fact this peace deal holds. Wonderful to hear of hostages being freed on both sides. And that aid is getting into Gaza. But...the cynic in me wonders what secret deal Trump and Netanyahu made?

It's obscene money. And, without question, a totally unnecessary income for any individual in Australia. Makes me ill.

I 🥰 this shot. It's the Black Mountain tower in Canberra. Once an iconic tourist destination, it was closed to the public in 2021 due to a state of disrepair. Telstra and the ACT government have agreed to work together on a plan to refurbish and reopen it. Thumbs up to that.

See this? It's so bloody important that people who threaten our democracy are held accountable for their extremist views. And just yesterday, Lidia Thorpe threatened to burn down Parliament House. We need to all say No to US-style right-wing nut-jobs who attempt to stir up the masses. #auspol

I feel like today is a good day to remind everyone that just last year Barnaby Joyce called on a crowd of cookers to say “goodbye” to 3 Labor MPs inc the PM by getting ready to “load that magazine” & think of a “bullet” when casting their vote.
And received no penalty or censure.

Seems that challenging someone's thinking on here is unwelcome. Especially if you use common-sense. Valentyna - whoever that is - just blocked me. Wasn't following her anyway. 🤷‍♀️

Let's agree to disagree on this. You and I do not have the facts on what led to a, reportedly, large police presence at the Canberra rally. There's always a reason.

In these situations, it would be negligent not to believe a threat like that.

This may have had something to do with it. From the Guardian today:

"Tony Burke responded this morning to Senator Lidia Thorpe’s remarks yesterday that she would “burn down parliament house to make a point” if needed at a pro-Palestine rally yesterday."
