Not an immigrant.
Not a refugee.
Not a Muslim.
Not brown-skinned.
Let’s see how Pauline and the complicit racist media try and spin this one.

Australia is one of only two economies in the world with triple A credit ratings, with both the jobless rate and inflation below 5% and government debt below 19% of GDP. The other is Switzerland.
Australia is the only triple-A economy with interest rates in the optimum band of 3.75% to 5% and wealth per adult above $865,000.
Yet the media companies which happily supported the re-election of the disastrous former Coalition are now mercilessly attacking Labor.

David Speers & Patricia Karvelas are quick to call out Social Media as a source of extremism but you'll never hear them single out the biggest source, the right-wing media.
The media has normalised #HateSpeech:
- 3AW/2GB
- Sky News
- Herald Sun
- Seven/Nine

Prof. John Mearsheimer on the risk of Israel using nuclear weapons against Iran:
‘There is no state on the planet that is more ruthless, more murderous, than the Israelis. So the idea that they would use nuclear weapons is certainly plausible.’
Iran refuses to surrender its red line demands, Trump faces daily humiliation and political disaster domestically.
Trump still thinks escalation will force a surrender or capitulation, and any US escalation will result in a severe Iranian attack on US military bases and targets in GCC countries.
Trump knows that if he uses a nuclear weapon against Iran, the US will be viewed as even more of a dangerous, rogue state than it already is by the rest of the world…
So the alternative is to give the green light to Netanyahu to use nuclear weapons against Iran, since Israel doesn’t have any qualms with being viewed by most of the world as a genocidal rogue state.
Prof. Robert Pape: ‘The likelihood of a NUCLEAR WEAPON being used against Iran has DOUBLED, and could increase further if escalation continues.’
‘When the war began in March, I would put it as under 10 percent likelihood of a nuclear weapon being used. I think those odds have now doubled…
Even though the odds of a nuclear weapon use are still rather low, this is a 20% [likelihood] of using nuclear weapons.
This is still a horrible situation, and we should be talking about what that would consequences would be, so they don’t go up.
Even a tactical nuclear weapon would spread radiation that would impact over 100,000 people in Iran. I’ve done the mapping, and this is then likely to trigger further escalation by Iran.
We are not in a position where when Trump moves up the rungs of the escalation ladder, he is going to escalate to our advantage. He may escalate. He may put pressure on Iran, but they will lash back.’

Shame on @CalgaryOpera.
----------
"I have been informed that I have been removed from further performances of Tosca with the Calgary Opera following my display of the Palestinian flag during curtain call.
I have no regret.
This is the state of cultural institutions in Canada. I was informed that financial threats had been made against Calgary Opera. I hold no resentment.
After the theatre, (political or otherwise) we all have to go home, and look at ourselves in the mirror.
It was my honor to play the role of Angelotti, an escaped political prisoner." Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega
And listen to the crowd cheer loudly as he unfurls the flag.
Follow and support Gabriel here:

We are disturbed to learn that @CalgaryOpera has removed bass-baritone Gabriel Sanchez-Ortega from future performances of "Tosca" after he unveiled a Palestinian flag during the curtain call on opening night. Art is political, and artists should not be punished for expressing support for the Palestinian people as they face a genocide. This decision must be reversed.

Israel votes on October 27.
Jews in New York, London and Antwerp have no say in it. Yet Zionism claims to speak for every Jew on earth.
It doesn't speak for us. It never did.

And we wonder why female MPs like @helenhainesindi are targeted by males when the LNP and @AngusTaylorMP defend calls to take women to the town square and stone them @AmyRemeikis @michellegrattan @latingle
Hard to believe people are being encouraged by the LNP to run over MPs and stone them in the square. #auspol

I hope Peta Credlin reflects on her disgusting and threatening language (from a few years ago).
You are part of the problem right wing fascist nut job media.
Your lies and misinformation and unwarranted “anger” has contributed to political violence in Australia.
Shame on you.
A great school in every respect; principal, staff, parents and students. Thanks for supporting Jerra from the very beginning @dizdarm
Jerrabomberra High School has doubled in size to 1,000 places, & students walked into the new classrooms & VET facilities at the start of Term 4. A VET kitchen, science lab, timber workshop & multimedia studio among them. Terrific. brnw.ch/21x6v6v

Patricia Karvelas and David Speers are blaming Social Media users on the left for political violence. They NEVER call out Pauline Hanson.
Poll-obsessed coverage of One Nation is their bread and butter.

I weep for Helen Haines as she fights for life after deliberate attack on her. She is a caring person of huge integrity who represents her entire electorate of #Indi as a genuine independent with total commitment to her community. She & husband Phil are valued friends of mine.

Israel has now set its sights on Albania as heavily armed Israeli backed troops have taken hold of central Tirana.
Albania’s government, accused of aligning itself with Israeli interests, is putting military forces on the streets as Albanian citizens clash back.
Multiple U.S. helicopters have reportedly been spotted heading toward Berat.

Your father was born in Poland. Your grandfather was born in Russia. Your family name is originally Mileikowsky.
The more you try to prove yourself to be indigenous, the more you get exposed of not being one.
You're just an occupier.

This sociopath doesn’t even have the heart to take responsibility for imposing a militarized energy siege of Cuba, which is now subjecting millions of Cubans to blackouts for as long as 36 hours, blocking basic medicine and driving infant mortality rates up 150%

Mocking a female MP's medical condition, derogatory nickname for someone in a wheelchair, calls for public stoning...time for the Right of politics and it's bottom feeding followers to pull their heads in.

This month marks 4 years since Dan Duggan was arrested in a supermarket carpark in Orange, after dropping the kids at school. He was supposed to be meeting his wife, Saffrine for coffee, when he never showed.
The agony and trauma of waiting for Dan to come home over the last 4 years is incomprehensible.
The family just want Dan home.
