BREAKING: The Victorian Labor conference has just voted for an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS, to suspend all AUKUS funding to the UK and US and then withdraw from the pact altogether. That’s a win for peace. Will Albanese and Wong listen?

Another stitch up today with Labor and the Coalition sending their new ASIO bills that expand and make permanent Howard-era questioning powers to the PJCIS - a secretive committee they control! That's not oversight it's a sham.

🧵Solidarity with Francesca Albanese. She is facing a barrage of lies and smears + the Trump Admin is calling on the UN to fire her. Why? Because there is simply no arguing with her devastating new report on the companies profiting from genocide. Stay tuned for our interview on @zeteo.com.

He didn’t say that. He chanted “Death to the IDF”. If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest. This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

Yeah you really have to feel for those who are orchestrating the industrial-scale killings of innocents, those who staff the rape and torture centres, those who are shooting children and particularly the ones carrying out mass starvation campaigns.

The British government has "strongly condemned" a live performance on the BBC by rap duo Bob Vylan in which the crowd was led through a chant of "Death, death to the IDF." As you might expect, Zionists are treating this incident like a second Holocaust and rending their garments in outrage.
