Yes, we did. The @smh story credits us
We thank the @smh and @jamesmassola for the credit given to @TrueNewsWeekly for our excellent investigative journalism from almost a decade ago about the sexual harassment scandal surrounding Greens senator Jordon Steele-John that has this week exploded 🧨
smh.com.au/politics/federal/…
Thank you @DavidShoebridge.
It took 10 years, but action has finally been taken on alleged serial sexual harassing creep Greens politician @SenatorJordon.
It only took a decade after @TrueNewsWeekly was the ONLY media outlet - MSM, independent or otherwise - to do its job!
Senator Wong has kindly offered to mark the ballots by hand for Palestinians who have lost their arms in Israel’s genocide.
Give Penny a round of applause.
@AlboMP @SenatorWong
🚨 Many of you have asked about our legendary friend, Sydney artist Shayne Chester.
Well, he currently needs all our help as he is the latest victim of Zionist lawfare for speaking out against Israel's genocide.
This is yet another case of harassment...

AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM ANTHONY ALBANESE
My fellow Australians,
Following my recent address to the United Nations, in which I performed the delicate diplomatic manoeuvre of speaking at length while saying as little as possible about Israel’s destruction of Gaza, I was invited to Tel Aviv for the annual International Zionist Cheerleading Competition.
The standard was fierce. Contestants were judged on their ability to wave the flag, applaud on cue and avoid any sentence that might inconvenience a powerful friend. I am delighted to announce that I won the overall event, along with the Bibi Netanyahu Medal for Excellence in ZioFascism.
It was a proud moment for Australia. I represented our nation with distinction as the Israeli Governor Down Under, a role I’ve been maintaining while insisting that our foreign policy remains entirely independent.
I will wear the medal at every official occasion from now on. It will sit proudly beside the carefully worded statements, the solemn calls for restraint and the conspicuous silences that have become the government’s most reliable exports.
Some people may ask whether the medal comes with any responsibilities. I can confirm that it does: keep smiling, keep applauding and never let a difficult question from the dumbed down MSM get in the way of our narrative.
Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
Goy, Goy, Goy.
I am, and continue to be,
Your Zionist Australian Governor,
(formerly Prime Minister),
Albo

THE CRIPPLED MINER GOT HALF THE MONEY:
BHP’s Crooked Lawyers Embezzled the Rest
At its rotten core, the Simon Turner affair combines contradictory insurer records, a purported employer with no employment relationship, supposedly independent advice pursued by the opposing solicitors, and a lawyer who crossed into the witness box. The result reeks of institutional corruption, professional misconduct, manipulated justice and criminality demanding an immediate investigation by authorities. Damning report by Adam Greenwood.
BHP can move mountains, ship coal across oceans and account for billions of dollars in global revenue. But ask the mining giant to explain the $630,000 discrepancy in one injured miner’s compensation payout, and this corporate colossus suddenly squints at its own accounts like a stunned wombat caught in headlights.
That’s the revolting spectacle exposed by a May 2024 email stream between MinterEllison partner Trent Forno, acting for BHP, and Tom Hunter-Leahy of Conrad Curry Law, acting for Simon Turner.
The emails read like the administrative paperwork from a robbery in which everyone remembered to wear a tie.

Forno asserted that Turner had received $1,214,827.58, comprising a $700,000 BHP settlement and $514,827.58 in statutory workers’ compensation benefits. It’s a majestic figure, the kind corporations love, because it makes an injured worker sound less like a victim and more like a lottery winner with a grievance problem.
Hunter-Leahy demolished that description. He said Turner received $585,740.03 in total: a $280,000 redemption payment around 30 March 2021 and $305,740.03 from the $700,000 settlement around 24 August 2022.
The difference is a staggering $629,087.55.
And so begins BHP’s greatest magic trick of all time. The lawyers wave a deed, the insurers release a cloud of statutory jargon, and more than half the supposed bounty is nowhere near Turner’s bank account.
