"The corporate media and a gun-shy ABC had run the press campaign for the government, deceiving millions of Australians"

These 'top journalists' just went on a junket to Israel - Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, Courier Mail, Adelaide Advertiser, The Nightly, The Australian and 2GB

Jillian Segal the Albanese' Government's special envoy, has published, without probative evidence, what amounts to a reputational smear of our public broadcasters, ABC and SBS, as fostering anti-semitism though their Middle East coverage. @abcalumni statement here >>
ABC Alumni is outraged at the continued insistence by Australia’s Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism,that the ABC and SBS are contributing to antisemitism.

Seems the unions are rolling over. Australia's school children to be taught 'special holocaust theory' at the behest of a foreign lobby now supporting the Palestinian genocide
Not a word from teachers unions. Does Never Again not mean never again?

One day, we will look back at this time in Australia's history where the entire nation went to a vote and denied Indigenous people a direct voice to parliament while directly after that, the government of the day walked away and gave that voice to Israel - without a single Australian vote being cast or a person being asked.
One day we will wonder how we allowed Australia to be captured and ruled by a foreign nation, for our thoughts to be policed and our rights to artistic expression and freedom of speech curtailed by an unelected, South African born, multi-millionaire white woman from eastern Sydney who answers to lsrael.
One day we'll have to tell our children and grandchildren that this woman thought that protesting against a war where children are bombed and burnt alive in their beds is an evil thing to do, but marching with a Nazi protest sign is nothing worth worrying about.
One day we will have to explain this upside-down madness, this state-captured think speak we all allowed to happen and wonder why we didn't do more.
One day, everyone will have always been against this.

My latest article for @shot_au where I point out that Segal's latest 'report' was not requested by government or the PM.
It's simply a rehash of last year's report - with a purpose beyond its pages.
It's arrival has more to do with her strategy of filling media spaces with antisemitism angst now the royal commission is over, and also influencing the royal commission findings.
It is also a document designed to inflame culture wars and get people arguing and create political division - a classic tactic of conservatives the world over.
Nothing Segal says is new, (except of course for the astonishing claim she makes that all Jews in Australia are unbothered by neo-Nazis!)
Comments welcome. theshot.net.au/uncategorized…

NSW Premier Chris Minns spends $94m on army of 250 officers with high-powered rifles in response to Bondi. Meanwhile, gangland wars continue out west.

And on and on it goes.
@JasonClareMP keen to prosecute the Segal agenda.
"Education Minister announced last Friday that under the draft legislation, the maximum fine for universities will increase from the existing cap of $40,000 to $2 million – a 50-fold increase."

The RBA is waging class war and the Press Gallery are its spin doctors, writes @grogsgamut.
"The congealed wisdom throughout the media and polity redolent of a blocked toilet: government spending needs to be reined in."
"Please. We are a low taxing and low spending nation. If you can’t agree to that, then just admit you are an ideological gronk who cares so little for facts that you would lie to the public, or you are a gullible fool too scared to stand apart from the herd."

The sexist and racist abuse being hurled at my colleagues Mehreen Faruqi and Steph Hodgins-May is vile, and it's designed to marginalise women in public life. No one should have to face this, but I also know that Steph and Mehreen are fierce, principled and staying strong.

The cash-3 year part of the yield curve has inverted. This has the stench of a recession inducing policy action from the RBA.
I suspect Bernie Fraser & Glenn Stevens are spewing at the actions of the current Board - panic, impatience or over-reaction are not desirable characteristics for a central bank to have

Why did Shoalhaven City Council ban the Wall of Tears art display?
Stay with me. Did you know former NSW Liberal MP Andrew Constance took a fully paid study tour of Israel a few years back?
It was hosted by the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies & Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce, (chaired by Jillian Segal at the time, who we must presume approved all expenses)
On his return, Constance firmly defended the foundational rights of Israel, stating on NSW parliamentary record: "The yearning to return to the land of Israel - and the right to return since its establishment - is fundamental."
Constance also said in parliament: "To anybody who is in any doubt about the philosophical issues that are there (in Israel), I urge them to visit and see it for themselves."
Over the years, former Liberal MP Andrew Constance has formally acknowledged and maintained strong professional relationships with key community organizations, particularly the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and the Australia-Israel Chamber of Commerce.
In September 2025 after leaving NSW politics, Andrew Constance became the CEO of Shoalhaven City Council.
There's always a trail.

In May 2025, I painted a mural of Donald Trump titled The Host. The mural was an image if Donald Trump, dressed as Uncle Sam with the Israeli flag in his eyes.
The work was a commentary on how US politics and foreign policy have been co-opted by Israel.
Shortly after its completion, police were called to the mural, a campaign was launched to pressure @innerwestcouncil into removing it (which they did), and I began receiving legal letters.
What followed was a lengthy legal process in which the complainant sought orders from the Tribunal requiring me to:
1. I create a new mural that apologised for the original mural, and that this mural had to be in the same place as the old mural;
2. I had to post photos of the mural apology and post it on my Instagram page;
3. I had to write a letter of apology to the President of the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies, and prescribed what he wanted me to write in that letter;
4. I pay $10,000 + revenue made on the sale of posters of the mural in equal parts to several Jewish fundraisers; and
5. I was to attend the Sydney Jewish Museum and undertake specific case studies.
After more than a year, I’ve finally put that legal process behind me.
This is yet another in a growing list of attempts to silence and censor my artwork critical of Israel.
Long story short, it didn’t work. 👊
I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Jen Robinson, Danielle, Michael and Lauren at Marque Lawyers, and Oshie Fagir.
You are absolute lifesavers ❤️🙏💪

"It is deeply distressing that 3 years into a genocide there are still people in powerful positions who would repeat such lies and distorted facts on the ground."
Words from the widow of journalist Roshdi Sarraj who @SenSHenderson falsely accused of being Hamas
Full story 👇🏽
I spoke with .@Shrouqaila, widow of journalist Roshdi Sarraj, on MP Sarah Henderson accusing him of being a Hamas militant while working for ABC in #Gaza. The MP backtracked on her false claims. His wife panned her “deeply distressing” comments canberratimes.com.au/story/9… #auspol
The lesson being that the same well-resourced and lawyered up Jewish lobby is exerting this pressure everywhere it can, most in silent sacking and exclusions and Australian media and leaders won't bring their tactics into the light.

“Zionism has brought millions of people to a state of utter derangement,” Pulitzer Prize winner Benjamin Moser said, noting that pro-Israel commentators struggle to even acknowledge that Palestinians are human.
Moser questioned the value of platforming such views in the name of “balance,” comparing it to debating the merits of Nazism or inviting a member of the KKK to provide an opposing perspective when interviewing a Black guest.

The War in Ukraine for Blackrock;
