Unless you’re on the crew on the International Space Station or you dwell permanently inside an opal-mine, you may have missed the news this month about Shooting Death No: 31,239 in the USA this year (by the time of reading, results may vary). Unremarkably, the shooting of an American male was committed by yet another…

The Global Sumud Flotilla to Gaza was hit by a suspected Israeli drone attack on Tuesday while docked at the Sidi Bou Said port in Tunisian waters. Video footage from multiple sources confirm that a boat was struck from above with an incendiary device, causing the vessel to ignite with crew on board, damaging the…

Summary for flaky, attention-span deficient types: First Nations and Palestinian allies stood strong against Nazi assaults in the Melbourne CBD, and at Camp Sovereignty, while the “Anti-semitism envoy” Jillian Segal refused to condemn the Nazi terror attack and rallies. *** This is a tale of two cities and two gatherings of racist, genocidal supremacists: one…

ASIO Chief Mike Burgess stood next to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Foreign Minister Penny Wong and Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke as they delivered a “disturbing discovery” to the Australian public. The announcement revealed that two of the antisemitic attacks, including the Adass Synagogue arson attack, were the responsibility of foreign actors connected to Iran.…

It started off well enough, as all well-intentioned stories do. The Bendigo Writers’ Festival’s marketing for their August event had gushingly told potential attendees all throughout 2025 that this year would be a festival for ‘readers, writers and creative thinkers’ (except for people thinking creatively about genocide, however we digress) and more importantly that, “this…

Following the lead of ousted Senator Fatima Payman, Prime Minister Albanese this week reversed his long-held position of ignoring the ALP’s platform, announcing Australia will recognise the statehood of Palestine at the UN in September.  The remnants of the glacial, melting western liberal order, Macron in France, Carney in Canada, and Starmer in the UK,…

If you ask those who take part in debate content, it’s just the modern version of important discourse to find solutions to the world’s problems. If you ask those who make the content, it’s easy viral content. If you ask those who watch it, it’s just WWE style entertainment. All those people are partially right,…

Like a toddler running from her own soiled nappy, petulant despite the stench, Penny Wong, Foreign Minister, this week unloaded on the ever-soggy halls of Australia’s Parliament, saying: “We are not supplying weapons or ammunition to Israel.”  “As part of the global F-35 supply chain, we are supplying components and parts that are non-lethal in…

Please, if you would, sit down, pop the kettle on, and allow me to explain in totally non-genocidal terms why baby formula is banned from entering Gaza.  Without spittle frothing, without kicking a puppy in the face, I promise this makes as much sense as liberating the women of Iran by bombing them, and “stabilising”…

In six days, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited three Chinese cities, including a symbolic stop at the Great Wall, where he made key announcements affirming the vital Sino-Australian relationship. As the Trump administration sidelines Australia and global dynamics shift dramatically, the trip carried undeniable strategic weight. Yet, the Australian press corps largely overlooked this pivotal…
