Anonymous pro-Israel witness tells RC she’s upset a student wasn't challenged for not mentioning Oct 7 when discussing her family’s suffering in Gaza, after she pleaded for support. The nerve of some witnesses is staggering. Not to mention the complete lack of humanity.
Jewish Australian Prof Dennis Altman slams call to ban ‘From the River to the Sea’, says it “totally ignores” fact Israel’s position is to control “From the river to the sea” “I’m not sure in a Lib democracy we ought to be banning things coz somebody might be hurt or offended”💥 #auspol
After insisting using the word Anti-Zionist “with” a hyphen is antisemitic, Keller struggles again, this time to explain how someone can detect if there’s a hyphen, when the term is “spoken” More madness.
💥5A’s Josh Keller gets grilled by Doyle SC & Commissioner Bell, after pushing for antisemitism reforms on Unis, then struggles to answer if mentioning Israel’s “occupation” as per ICJ, is antisemitic. Keller admits it would be, if Israel’s view isn’t also given This is madness.
Jewish Australian Yasmin Johnson says to claim ‘River to the sea’ is antisemitic because some Jews are offended, is a “smear on the Palestine movement” Says during the civil rights era, racist white ppl also claimed to be threatened by black ppl. Feelings weren’t the point.💥
Jewish Australian Yasmin Johnson, organiser of pro-Palestinian Uni encampments, rejects claim that calling out Israel for ‘genocide’ is antisemitic & calls out Jillian Segal for engaging in “genocide denial and racism” after she spread false facts on the Gaza death toll.💥🔥 #auspol
Sarah Martin rubbishes Barnaby’s China conspiracy theory on Telstra’s outage & points to the real issue “Telstra was privatised”🎯 “Telstra has fundamentally failed in its obligations to the country, coz it has no obligations to the country, only obligations to shareholders” 💥
Segal made several false claims at the Royal Commission yesterday, including that the UN has “grossly inflated” death toll figures in Gaza. This isn’t supported — in fact the UN has been refuting these false claims by Israel for years now. Segal is dangerous.
SC Lancaster says Segal’s evidence of Jewish community complaints is “difficult to test” — she’s given no real evidence, just vague generalities. Segal concedes, but insists the complaints have a “strongly held perception.” That’s her hard evidence. Words. Gobsmacking.
Segal insists it’s too “difficult” to answer how she justifies attacking ABC’s Gaza coverage, when just 4 of “literally thousands” Ombudsman complaints are actually substantiated.🙄 Pathetic. Then attacks ombudsman’s “standards”, wants her personally endorsed standards. Dangerous.
Jillian Segal says SBS’s code of conduct — which tells staff to separate criticism of Israel from criticism of Jewish ppl — shows that SBS ‘don’t understand’. 🤔 Says she’d “rewrite” it as per the “IHRA definition” which conflates the two issues This is the quiet part out loud.
Sarah Hanson-Young fires back at Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal’s claim that the ABC gives “too much” coverage of Israel’s war on Gaza — says Australians expect “more” reporting, not less. “I don’t think she knows what she’s talking about.”🔥🔥
Barbara Miller reports that Antisemitism envoy Jillian Segal has lashed out at the ABC at the RC, saying she believes they provide “Too much coverage of the war in Gaza”🙄 So the solution to reducing antisemitism is stop letting everyone know that there’s a genocide in Gaza?
SA Police Minister Michael Brown has blasted Kerrynne Liddle for refusing to report an apparent ‘death’ to police, allegedly due to a 000 outage. Brown says Liddle’s decision to post publicly instead of going to police is “downright dangerous”💥 FFS, Libs politicise everything.
And after claiming to have reported her non emergency 000 calls to Telstra directly, Henderson then refuses to say who she spoke to or what they said to her. Strange thing to stay quiet about, if it’s all above board.🙄
💥 Sarah Henderson steamrolled after claiming she didn’t commit an offence by making non emergency test-calls to 000. Insists the law allows for it.🙄 Clogging up the emergency number for her own political gain. Disgraceful. Police should act. Otherwise anyone can do it.
“If the US do win today, everyone will be saying, ‘you guys cheated to get there”💥 Craig Foster calls out FIFA for colluding with Trump to rig the World Cup, saying this means that if the Americans win today, there will be a question mark on all of their remaining matches. 🎯
Socceroo Awer Mabil torches Pauline Hanson’s “monoculture” idea “It’s all bullshit” 🔥 Says multiculturalism makes Australia the best country in the world. “If anybody’s trying to divide that, then they’re probably not Australian themselves.” 💥
Chris Bowen fires back at the LNP’s claim that energy prices have cost Aussies $23B under Labor, says the figure includes LNP’s 20% price spike that Angus Taylor “changed the law to hide” before the ’22 election “The most disgraceful act of an energy minister in living memory”🔥
Niki Savva takes aim at Abbott’s “very strange” & “very extreme” speech at a RW conference in London saying it could have just as well been delivered by Hanson/ON. “Maybe he should be President of One Nation?” 💥 Speers, agitated, tries to cut in. Savva ignores, powers on.💥
Political strategist Tony Barry warns of dark days for the LNP after recent polling reveals they now lead in “none” of the top 9 key issues in the country. “That shows you how out of the conversation the Coalition are right now.”💥 Surely the clock is ticking for Angus Taylor.
JCA’s Sarah Schwartz tells the Royal Commission that she’s contacted every day by Jews “terrified of speaking out” to criticise Israel or to support Palestinians, in fear of being abused or vilified. Says Israel ‘shields itself from a lot of criticism’ by claiming to be the victim💥
David Pocock pauses, overcome with emotion, while detailing UN’s horrific findings against Israel “IDF has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children” “…deliberately shot at children’s limbs…as a twisted game of target practice”😔 Barbaric & sickening. This is our ally?
David Shoebridge slams Home Affairs, Labor for still not answering his Feb 10 question on what criteria Border Force used to ‘question like criminals’ Australians returning from the flotilla to Gaza after they had already been “monstered by the Israeli govt” “Still no answer!”💥
Albanese brutal on Liberals “some of the ones on the front’ calling for a rebrand, that while “it’s certainly time to take the ‘Liberal’, out of the Liberal Party” “It’s not your sales pitch. It’s your policies”💥 “It’s not what you call yourselves, it’s who you are”💥 #auspol
Larissa Waters says it’s ”time to wake up” to One Nation’s use of foreign AI bot farms flooding social media with “racist, hateful messages” “to promote ON & attack everyone else” “Tsunamis of trash funded by billionaires” “Australia can’t keep sleepwalking into fascism”💥
For those who couldn’t hear Clare O’Neil after she sat quietly letting Cash speak only for Cash to scream over her entire answer while Barr let it happen - what O’Neil said is the 3 RW parties are all defending the status quo that govt is trying to fix The show is a stitch up🙄 #auspol
Tim Wilson waltzes up to the dispatch box with hands raised, expecting to be given the mic Speaker not having any of it, “I’m not sure what you’re doing, but resume your seat.”💥😂 Bye bye Wilson.
Melissa McIntosh still pushing for a rebrand, insists voters ‘believe in’ Liberal policies - but won’t vote for them bcoz of “the brand”🙄 Such an incoherent argument. If ppl loved your policies Melissa, they would also love your brand, & we wouldn’t be having this conversation.
