BREAKING: 12 days after being missing following an Israeli shelling on her family car, the body of the six-year-old girl Hind Rajab, along with the bodies of five of her family members, have been found in the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood of Gaza City.
Medical sources reported that
The thing that really sucks about those milkshake videos is that there was a fantastic program called Safe Schools that was genuinely student-first with resources that worked and saved lives. Imagine what they could have done with $3.8 million?
โIโm not richโ Leanne has 7 Airbnb properties, not the 3 listed in her AFR interview. The โsingle mumโ is a super host with her partner, Craig. It says they love to travel together and sheโs been in the short term rental game for 15 years. She is exactly who the tax is for.
@lilleyjuice
She has 7 properties listed on AirBnBโฆwho owns the other 4? Her partner Craig, whoโs mentioned on the site?
Oh thatโs right sheโs singleโฆisnโt she? ๐ค
Can someone explain to me in basic terms how the RBA raising interest rates over and over and over again is supposed to mitigate inflation caused by corporate greed?
Marginally better than linking to Sky. I donโt have enough disgust in me for the way Peter Stefanovic treated Keegan Payne, the million dollar fisherman from the NT. Rot in shame, Sky News.
This is horrific. Palestinians are trapped, bombs raining down on them, no hospitals, no food, no water. And people from anywhere in the world can travel to Israel and participate in their genocide. The fucking shame of these people.
The Australian Centre for International Justice has reported estimates of up to 1,000 Australians currently serving in the IDF or being active reservists.

@BarnsGreg
The only remaining AJ journalist in the north of Gaza and the IDF have accused him of working with Hamas, no evidence, putting a target on his back. They are eliminating witnesses. Every western news reporter should be loudly and publicly standing with Anas Al Sharif right now.
Outstanding Aljazeera journo
@AnasAlSharif0
fell apart after todayโs massacre. He told us he canโt carry the load anymore, but heโs the only remaining AJ journalist in the north of Gaza that Israel hasnโt assassinated (yet). We begged him, because w/o his voice, weโd all be lost
Itโs kinda heartbreaking that, while Tegan George was doing excellent reporting on the crisis enveloping the government over the Brittany Higgins allegations, her own employer refused to provide a safe working environment for her.
In the City of Maribyrnong the childcare centre wants our babes to dress up for the Melbourne Cup. Mine will be going as a protester covered in river mud.
The full ruling in the Roberts-Smith trial is brutal. The detail now available to publish paints the picture of a horrible, manipulative, violent man. Interesting thatโs not all over the Murdoch papers this weekend. Itโs all free to publish. Itโs all in the public interest.
When police say there isnโt evidence Cauchi acted with โparticular ideology or motivationโ they mean religious extremism only. When 13 of 16 people stabbed are women, and they are investigating a potential history of targeting women, that may very much be ideology or motivation.
Have been emailed by a consultant on behalf of an ex-employer who made me redundant from a creative leadership role, asking me to participate for free in some research they are undertaking to help increase the numbers of women in creative leadership roles in their company. ๐ค
Thinking of my friendโs dad who was imprisoned in the Warsaw ghetto with his family as a child. He would sneak out during the day to find food for his mum and siblings. One day he came back after the gate was closed. 1/5
Wouldnโt it be refreshing if, in one of their stories on small businesses in lockdown, the media spoke to a local theatre or a bicycle repair hub or a recording studio or a little art gallery. Youโd think the only type of business in Victoria is a cafe.
Instead of refusing to do the TV gig with Russell, which would have made his life easier and made her lose out on income and career opportunity, Katherine Ryan simply took the tea to the recording and made it too shameful for the producer to keep him in the gig. Very well done.
What if... instead of the Melbourne Cup we have a huge arts & music gig at Flemington, like Glastonbury, that is televised live across the country. The whole of the UK gets into Glasto, whether there or not. We should elevate art and music to the same degree. Who do I invoice?
The fallout of the investigation into Australiaโs National Socialist Network has been swift, with talk of banning the group and some members under investigation by their employers. |INVESTIGATION
@Ageinvestigates
โa terrifying precedent if we are to accept that the price of ever speaking to the media is โฆ your entire phone is โfair gameโ. There has been a striking lack of curiosity about how Ms Higginsโ text messages have been finding their way into media outletsโ
Hate breeds hate. We canโt let this go. Love and solidarity to trans and Jewish communities in Naarm today. And all minority communities who deeply understood what they saw. 5/5
The 2-yr old just walked into my bedroom where Iโm having a cup of tea, took all the gold coins from my bedside table, put them in his pocket, then left.
He eventually made it to Australia, living with the trauma the rest of his life. As did his family. Imagine his children and grandchildren, and those of families like theirs, seeing police allow Nazis onto the steps of Parliament House to perform that vile salute. 3/5
The hand wringing about VAW in a country with Wayne Carey and Sam Newman as celebrities, where a woman seeking help was accused of cop shopping, where Brittany Higgins was pilloried, where women over 50 are still the fastest growing demographic facing homelessness. Be serious.
I want my money back for buying The Beauty Myth in 1990. Naomi Wolf is clearly a deranged narcissist and I resent having taken her seriously all those years ago.
The people who organised this hatefest against the trans community are trying to minimise and obfuscate. Lying about who the Nazis were and why they were there. That in itself is disgusting. Their lack of horror and shame and their instinct for cover up speaks volumes. 4/5
If the ABC lets this slide after Stan Grantโs recent comments about how they fail First Nations journalists, they have a serious cultural problem. As an aside, Vanstone is an awful broadcaster. Abrasive, snippy and full of assumptions.
If your response to the cost of food right now is, โgrow it yourselfโ - put your iPad down, walk away and have a little think about how maybe most people live very differently from the way you do.
Today the PM said he understood why protesters in Canberra were frustrated. Of the BLM protests, he said they were being โtaken over by other much more politically driven leftwing agendas, which are seeking to take advantage of these opportunities to push their political causesโ.
This is where the evidence came from for the charge of genocide in The Hague. They are eliminating anyone who is documenting their crimes. Itโs so blindingly obvious. Meanwhile the ABC is sacking people who donโt tow the Zionist line. WHERE IS THE OUTCRY FROM JOURNALISTS HERE?
This thread demonstrates how cooked parts of the Aus news media are. Turning poets into caricature baddies by skimming their social media accounts and putting words in their mouths.
That the writer of this piece didnโt have the spine to put their name to it speaks volumes.
Oh my god wait now I see why Iโm getting hate messages โ someone actually wrote a story about this??? Saying that I accused this episode of *promoting* genocide??? What!!!
โThe Diamonds have complained about the teamโs new major sponsor, mining giant Hancock Prospecting, being branded across their uniforms and it resulted in the team wearing an old strip in their series opening loss to New Zealand on Wednesday.โ Good stuff.
Horrific video of three police officers beating an Aboriginal teenager in a watch house. He was not physically aggressive toward them before they assaulted him. 'An investigation found the use of force was lawful and reasonable.' Absolutely disgraceful.
Isnโt it kind of weird that this Voice debate is now centring John Farnhamโs voice? The whole thing is insane. I am in awe of all First Nations people who live through this every day without smacking us all upside the head.
Gone back on his word? Colour me shocked.
โAnthony Albanese promised recognition of a Palestinian state as a first-term priority for an incoming Labor government, according to leaders of two of Australiaโs largest Muslim organisations.โ
Not able to get back in he started a walk that would last days. A child on his own. Trying to find other relatives in other towns. He never saw his mother or siblings again. They were murdered by Nazis. 2/5
These are the Palestinians having their visa applications rejected? Three girls whose parents were killed by Israel have an uncle here who they can come to. One of them has an infant baby. And the government rejected them. This is so, so shameful.
On Motherโs Day, my thoughts are with the mothers in Gaza going through the most traumatic loss of their children killed by Israel, and the children who have been left without mothers in the most brutal way. End the genocide.
Iโve turned on QandA for the first in a long time. Nova Perris and Grace Tame are very good at cutting through the shtick and demanding authenticity.
If I were the PM and I was invited to a huge expensive wedding by a self-serving celebrity who has repeatedly been horrible in public and who told everyone they were voting for my opponent I would think, lol no way I'll look like such a tool if I go.
This week a father killed his two-yr old child and a man killed his ex-wifeโs friend and her teenage daughter because they helped his ex-wife. Male violence against women is a scourge. Why are frontline DV services being defunded? Why?
They have updated it which is nice. However, is Dylan Alcott not a man or do Grand Slam quad singles not count as a โmajor titleโ? Just say โfirst Australian player to reach a menโs singles finalโ and letโs move on.
Bronwyn Bishop accused MP Sophie Scamps of being โpart of the antisemitic movementโ on Sky TV because Scamps demanded the govt reinstate UNRWA funding. She only apologised under threat of legal action. This is where weโre at.
Jacinta Allan justifying her refusal to consider pill testing, while four people remain in critical condition in hospital: โIf people are concerned about substances, donโt consume it. Thereโs a personal responsibility here as well.โ
Nasty and useless.
The police have now arrested (or are imminently arresting) two Palestinian Australians for protesting Israelโs genocide. It is very chilling that the right to protest is being so deeply challenged and that Palestinians are being targeted.
A reminder that Attorney-General Christian Porter has appointed six times as many men as women to the Federal Court and none in Victoria since coming to power in 2013. The legal system does not dispense justice transparently.
The MSO canceled a musician for playing a piece of music memorialising Palestinian journalists killed by Israel. He had also played a piece recognising Jewish survivors of the Holocaust. But recognising Palestinian suffering is the offence, apparently.
Here is what Jayson Gillham's said on his Sunday August 11 performance that outraged
@MelbSymphony
's Zionist donors. Two of the pieces Jayson played were a cry against injustice and oppression. The first was by Hungarian Jewish composer and holocaust survivor Ligeti. Jayson
Iโve brought the kids to a playground and someone is having a kids party in the park with champas and table and all kinds of shit and Iโm like, I donโt think people are really taking this lockdown very seriously.
Having worked in an industry where unpaid overtime is expected, including very late nights and regular weekend work, and I was told after returning from parental leave with a 9-month old to expect 18 months of six-day weeks, I very much welcome this case.
So much money was pledged by the govt and raised independently for fire affected areas. Why are people still living in caravans and only able to shower a couple of times a week?

Tonightโs vigil for Cassius Turvey in Naarm was beautiful and devastating. Such a big life cut short. So very moving hearing from his cousin. Then on the way home the brightest rainbow burst across the sky.
#JusticeForCassius
The CFMEU is not just a crime story.
Its domination of building and construction has pushed up prices on ordinary homes as well as big construction sites.
Fixing this is part of fixing our housing crisis.
I will keep pushing for effective govt action.

Remembering the time my workmate Bill borrowed my shitty old poo brown Toyota Corona station wagon named Cody. I gave him the keys and told him it was parked at the St Kilda bowlo and off he went. He ran a few errands, smoked a few durries, ate a couple of sauso rolls. 1/4
Guys I still canโt quite fathom that the RBA (made up of bankers) can simply increase interest rates over and over again so banks can steal $20 billion of our money and this is accepted economics. Economics is for suckers.
Given the drips are so powerful they tweeted Labor to victory youโd think theyโd get to work lobbying their heroic new government to save the world and stop funding new coal projects or something but alas they must instead continue to hound Fauziah Ibrahim for making a list.
@DoneDirtCheaper
I guess thatโs what you get when Dutton and an enabling media have vilified Aboriginal men so badly in the NT. Fucking shameful all round.
