. @antoinette_news has just been been sacked by the ABC for telling the truth. Today it’s about the war on Palestine. But telling the truth about any of our wars is pretty dangerous. This is becoming a new Australian tradition.

I will be introducing a Federal Bill for the right to protest in 2023✊ Harsh state laws cracking down on climate activists can be overridden by a federal bill. Politicians should not be able to weaponise their power to criminalise dissent stemming from their own decisions 💪

BREAKING: An urgent appeal is being lodged right now in the NSW Court of Appeal from the BLM court decision last night. The organisers have received strong advice from lawyers across the legal community that the decision has significant flaws that amount to jurisdictional error.

BREAKING @nswpolice have now confirmed they are taking the rally organisers to the Supreme Court this afternoon to try and stop it. This is not what’s needed. This needs cooperation and understanding not force.

1/ I asked yesterday why the Albanese Government could withdraw aid to Palestine based on allegations, but will not announce a military export embargo to Israel following a plausible case of genocide.

Great news! The TGA has changed the classification of psilocybin and MDMA. This allows MDMA to be used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder and psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression. Finally we are getting policy responding to the evidence

Lawless. Elements of the NSW Police Force are just lawless. We found out very late today that a senior officer at Strike Force Raptor sent out two police to intimidate a solicitor on his way to court to represent a client in a case against Raptor

The death of a 37 year old First Nations man in custody this morning in Cessnock is a tragedy for his family, his community and the country. This is the seventh death of a First Nations person in Australian jails since 2 March, FOUR of these deaths were in NSW jails.

I'm deeply concerned that UK authorities are seeking to block Australian journalists from remote courtroom access for Julian Assange's hearing today UK time. It's clearly of significant public interest that the matter of this Australian citizen is able to be reported here.

It’s not an ‘unforced error’ to plan and then implement a scheme to deliver a quarter of a billion dollars of public money to Coalition electorates to buy an election. That’s not an accident. It’s a deliberate, undemocratic and gross breach of trust.

Senior Liberals are concerned that Gladys Berejiklian will continue to make missteps if she does not take a break following a disastrous week for the Premier.

Labour day means we get a 3-day weekend to celebrate the achievements of workers. You know what would be an even better way to celebrate workers? Making every week a 4-day work week.

Last time I checked Australia's billionaires had $111 billion dollars in wealth between them. Gina Rinehart’s wealth had doubled to $16.6 billion in just one year. If we taxed billionaires just 5 percent we’d have $5.5 billion to spend on the response to COVID19.
