Is Anthony Albanese TRYING to lose the next Federal election?!?! #auspol #USA

AUS FM Penny Wong failed to mention her good friend Israel:
• Israel isn't a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
• Israel won't allow the UN or the Int'l Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to inspect its main nuclear facilities.
• Israel won't even admit that it HAS nuclear weapons! #auspol

Tweet on X by AUS FM Penny Wong:
The Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty has underpinned a decades-long global norm against nuclear testing that benefits all states. It’s in every state’s interest to maintain it. That was my message at today's CTBT meeting at the UN as we push for the Treaty’s entry into force

Trump told the UN he wants to rename Artificial Intelligence (AI) Super Intelligence (SI). I'm surprised he didn't want to rebrand it as American Intelligence (AI) That way he could have kept the same initials! Idiot. #UN #USA #USPolitics #AI

AUS PM Anthony Albanese didn't have to get a selfie with a man found liable for sexual abuse. He chose to do so. Maybe Scott Morrison's wife Jenny could explain to him why this is so offensive. 😔 #auspol #VAW

If you're still on Twitter (X), be wary. The pretty young women in the USA who "love God and want a real relationship" (accounts created in Nigeria or Gambia) are getting competition from accounts of "Dad in Gaza seeks help for my children" (accounts created in Nigeria or Gambia). #scam

Actor Leonard Nimoy (1931-2015) played the Vulcan Spock on #StarTrek from the first pilot "The Cage" (filmed in 1964) until the film "Star Trek Into Darkness" (2013), across 2 live-action, #StarTrekTOS and #StarTrekTNG, and 1 animated tv series and 8 films. #StarTrek60 🖖 📺 🎥

In the USA, networks ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC suspended pool coverage of Trump in solidarity with CNN after Trump banned CNN from the WH.

Disappointing that here in Australia, when Sen. Pauline Hanson banned some news outlets from her pressers, the others showed NO solidarity. #auspol #FreePress

ABC, CBS, Fox News, and NBC release joint statement against Trump's Free Press Ban. ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC suspended pool coverage of Trump in solidarity with CNN after Trump banned CNN from the White House.

Agreed.

Ed Sheeran seems to think the real victims of Israel's #GazaGenocide are NOT the 20,000+ Palestinian children murdered by Israel (or the 1000's of Palestinian men & women killed) The real victims are multimillionaire singers who have their feelings hurt by criticism bc they won't condemn a genocide.

When the Australian Govt promotes itself on the world stage as an important "middle power", all I see is a compliant vassal state of the USA and Israel, willing to sell out the human rights and sovereignty of smaller nations to please our masters. We are complicit in tyranny. #auspol #SanctionIsrael

If you loved #DoctorWho S2E04 "The Girl in the Fireplace" (2006), did you know during Covid Lockdown in 2020 they made a minisode sequel, also written by Steven Moffat. Sophia Myles' audio performance is achingly hauntingly beautiful. Enjoy. youtu.be/seNAqQ4gzn0?...

Penny Wong declares that aid workers "must always be protected" and that AUS is about "practical action".

I don't remember any practical action after Israel murdered Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom or the IDF abused humanitarians on the Global Sumud Flotilla. 🤔 #auspol #SanctionIsrael

Text of a tweet on X by AUS FM Penny Wong: Aid workers must always be protected, especially during conflict. Today I met with @ignaziocassis, whose leadership on this is deeply valued. With partners, we are turning political commitment to the Declaration for the Protection of Humanitarian Personnel into practical action.

"I think international law is in a crisis.

"And I think when applied with double standards, that's when rightly people question its use & value."

AUS PM Anthony Albanese has named Siobhan McKenna, a former top lieutenant to Lachlan Murdoch, as Australia’s next Consul-General in New York, an important diplomatic posting. Srsly. 🙄 #auspol #USA

Penny Wong says she wants "truth-telling" about Australia's history, but avoided using the word genocide to describe the murder of 2 million First Nations people by the invading colonisers. She says the word was being "used as a political point"! I'm beginning to hate this Govt. #auspol #Indigenous

September 16, 2026, Independent Indigenous Senator Lidia Thorpe directly asked Senator Wong (who was representing the Prime Minister): "Does your government agree that a genocide has occurred on this continent?"

Senator Wong responded on behalf of the Labor government by saying: "I understand that that is a word that is used as a political point. There's also a legal definition."

Billionaire Israel supporter Robert Kraft says he's donating $2 million to "aid in the region". His donations in the past have gone to Friends of the IDF and the United Democracy Project, the super PAC of AIPAC. #Israel #RobertKraft #EdSheeran share.google/NsJX3KGbfMCF...

The Intercept
Robert Kraft claims his donations help Palestinians. Turns out he's funding Friends of the IDF. An analysis of tax forms by The Intercept show Kraft's charity and LLC have donated to Friends of the IDF and AIPAC's super PAC.
