This Shovel satire captures the absurdity of the Prime Minister's claim that the visit by the Israeli President was necessary for social cohesion.
NSW Police used pepper spray, helicopters, horses and blockades as part of a new program designed to bring the community together.

What is also disgraceful is Premier Minns supporting this police violence. We have all seen the footage of the police violence, but the Premier has adopted the Trump tactic of telling us not to believe what we have seen with our eyes.
I've attended many rallies in Sydney: anti-nuclear, anti-war, Aboriginal rights, climate action, gay marriage, Voice, pro-Palestine.
At the #HerzogNotWelcome rally tonight, I felt genuinely afraid of our NSW Police. Protesters were peaceful & cooperative. The police were angry & violent. 😔 #nswpol

This Fiona Katauskas cartoon in the Guardian captures the disgraceful actions of the Government in having an official visit from the Israeli President. Not a single thought for the 20,000 children slaughtered by the IDF or the starving people shot while queuing for food.

We are on the side of the good and the majority.
Also good note re Louise Adler - she is very much being targeted by this. Zionists *want* her to resign

This satirical piece from the Shovel perfectly sums up the idiocy of the National Party.
The National Party has agreed unanimously to re-commit to its target of making the Liberal Party completely unelectable by 2050, saying it will continue to put forward ridiculous climate policies until every urban Coalition seat is lost.
Nationals Commit to Liberals Achieving Net Zero Seats by 2050 — The Shovel
"If we continue to take into consideration what Australians want done on climate, and then do the exact opposite of that, we can get a lot of those suburban seats changing hands pretty quickly"

Sadly, this satire captures the disgusting actions of Netanyahu. The slaughter of 18,000 children, shooting starving people queuing for food, bombing aid workers - it is hard to comprehend such evil.
"Nothing says 'moral fortitude' like overseeing the bombing of a UN food truck. This guy has probably never even bulldozed a hospital before."
