@albomp.bsky.social has put his foot right in it. A failure of leadership. Cowardly.
Giving Jillian Segal even more influence over Australian policy when she still hasn't denounced far-right group "Advance" (which she bankrolls) is extremely poor governing.

Australia deserves far better.
It's over five months since Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal made headlines for being one of the biggest funders of highly divisive, far-right political lobby group "Advance".

She has at all times refused to denounce Advance, its bigotry and racist hate.

Antisemitism is rife & must be fought at every turn, but it is not antisemitic to protest against the Israeli govt’s genocide in Gaza. Peaceful protest against genocide did not lead to the massacre at Bondi. Politicians & media making hay from this are disgusting. They profit from division and fear.

Please support the excellent journalism of @theshot.net.au . You’ll get ripping good, honest, funny and righteously angry pieces by @davemilbo.bsky.social , @ronnisalt.bsky.social and others.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social your caller from Wollongong in Australia re: the Bondi attack mentioned the PM calling on our Envoy for Antisemitism to page a report. That envoy is Jillian Segal who went on to say that public support for the Palestinian people lead to this attack. 1/2

Trump being a typical massive piece of shit when commenting on the tragic deaths of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner. What a fucking arsehole.

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

It is absolutely wild that the guy who won’t stop yelling about law and order is now personally stepping in to keep January 6 documents hidden from the police officers who were attacked that day. He knows exactly what’s in those files and he is terrified the country will see it.

An absolute master stroke by the England team to tire Starc out by letting him make so many runs #Ashes

Home Depot could implement a policy requiring ICE to present a judicial warrant before operating on its property. Businesses are fully within their rights to decide who is allowed on their premises.

'People forget what Khashoggi was investigating when he was murdered. He was writing about Kushner turning over classified info to MBS, who used it to hunt down, arrest and murder his opponents.'

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

Copyright win for Australian artists vs AI – but how long can we hold off the bots?
The Australian government has ruled out a copyright fee carve-out for training AI – which seems like good news, for now ...
