DFAT has now confirmed Australians and others have been abused by Israeli authorities after their abduction from the flotilla.
Assaulted and injured. Deprived of sleep and medication. Still illegally detained.
The PM and Foreign Minister must urgently demand their safe release.

I don't know Murray. If you didn't want the Nazi references you probably shouldn't have passed extraordinary legislation to mandate government control of a trade union.
The Greens have defended MP Max Chandler-Mather after he appeared at a CFMEU rally where protesters held signs likening Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to Adolf Hitler. His appearance at the protest drew criticism from Labor frontbenchers.

Good… he ceded the space. Others were always going to step up
It’s well past time that Australians recognised that the Australian Labor Party doesn’t represent the interests of the working class (sorry Per Capita lol)

Why would this happen to a Labor party that’s attacking the unions and selling out the LGBQT community, welfare recipients and universities, and cratering accountability measures and environmental, gambling and NDIS reforms?
Odd.

Perfect example of how the Coalition flooded the zone with shit. There are no security concerns. No one has left Gaza for Australia since May. They created an issue out of thin air on a random weekday and now ppl are thinking of an imagined problem rather than our very real ones
More Australians agree with Dutton’s visa pause for Gazans than oppose it, Guardian Essential poll shows

French President Emmanuel Macron meets far-right politician Marine Le Pen amid France prime minister talks aje.io/2zj1oh
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Emmanuel Macron met with all political leaders represented in the french parliament to discuss the nomination of a new prime minister.
He met with most of them on Friday, and others on Monday.
The tweet implies Marine Le Pen gets a different treatment.

Tim Pallas, former ACTU assistant secretary saying “get back to work” to workers striking is literally the definition of the Labor party.
They don’t represent us. Their words and actions are indistinguishable from the boss’s. They serve the interests of capital, not workers.

Reminder, Labor have the numbers in the senate to pass whatever progressive legislation they want, including this. The reason they don't want to is because they're a cowardly government afraid to do anything that would ruin their attempts to appeal to Sky News voters.

I'll never forget how Western politicians spent days condemning people who protested peacefully outside a synagogue that was selling ethnically cleansed land. But literally blowing up mosques is not even a story.

Life has gotten objectively worse under Labor for working people and those in poverty by almost every single metric.
Labor considers “progress” to be kicking out members who stand up against our involvement in genocide, gutting the NDIS, ensuring housing remains unaffordable and inaccessible, breaking up unions, doing SFA about Aboriginal deaths in custody, and so many other things.
If that’s what you consider progress, then you’re right, I don’t “give a stuff”.
You all dont give a stuff about progress to fix poverty, or make progress for low income and working people
Your performative poverty politics is obsessive unhinged irrational hatred of Labor nothing more nothing less.
When everything is the fault of Labor and government and this is your only world view, seek help.

Australian soldiers committed war crimes in Afghanistan, murdering innocent people and desecrating their bodies, and yet the only person your administration has jailed for this is the man who revealed the war crimes. Everything you say is a sham. You have zero integrity. Resign.

It is no exaggeration to say that the United States is an existential threat to humanity without precedent in history. It is a nation ruled by extremist warlords who have unilaterally assumed authority over the world and are prepared to commit genocide to preserve it.

"crammed" into a "shrinking zone"

Before they go after the CFMEU, how bout they jail a single cop who’s killed an Aboriginal person.
Cos in all the years of black deaths in custody, not to mention out of custody, not one racist killer cop has seen the inside of a cell.

We should let these guys keep advertising to children because they asked nicely and Channel 7 say they'll go broke without it because they keep spending all their money on ludicrous failed defamation actions
#BREAKING: Australia's largest gambling company Tabcorp has been fined $4.6 million and ordered to "transform its operations" after being found to have repeatedly breached Victoria's gambling code.

people have worked hard to sell the idea that the Gaza protesters have some obscure fanatical agenda. but they are protesting because they want the united states and the democratic party to stop selling weapons to an army that shoots children in the head as a tactic of war

I feel like we should be talking more about the compulsory acquisition of vacant buildings, the @QLDLabor government is buying empty hotels and using it to house people.
It’s possible to house every person in Melbourne without building a single home.

This part. Every protest for the past 11 months has been demanding our governments follow the law, and they have refused. It’s utterly unreal.
