Israel is the only country in the world that can bomb 9 countries and invade 3 neighboring countries in one year; kill 100,000 people—including 25,000 children—in 1,000 days; displace nearly 6 million people in 3 countries; starve 2 million people in Gaza; violate Geneva and Vienna Conventions, international law, human rights, and state sovereignty; kidnap, rape and torture children and women; shoot, imprison and murdering; and still be perceived as the victim.

Victorian Indigenous leaders accuse liberal leader Jess Wilson of using Treaty as a 'political football' & warn decades of progress lost if the historic agreement is scrapped. Victoria's landmark Treaty is a national first & Libs want to rip it up #auspol abc.net.au/news/2026-10-31/t…

Walls of secrecy have been established inside Defence to prevent any public oversight of the budget disaster caused by the explosion of AUKUS spending. Every other part of the ADF is getting squeezed, all to keep AUKUS going.

The Battle of Beersheba. IN PALESTINE. 🇵🇸 Thirty-one (31) years before the establishment of your evil genocidal apartheid terrorist state of @Israel, @IsraelinOZ.
May you burn in Hell.
This Saturday marks the 109th anniversary of the Battle of Beersheba, a pivotal military victory marked by the charge of the Australian Light Horse Brigade.
The Embassy of Israel in Australia honours the bravery of the Australian soldiers who fought there and remembers those who lost their lives, many of whom were laid to rest at the Be’er Sheva ANZAC War Cemetery in Israel 🇮🇱🇦🇺
Lest We Forget.

Segal is a conspiracy theorist anti-Australian — anti-free speech, anti-right to assembly, anti-academic freedom, anti-democracy.
“Pew’s June survey found 79 per cent of Australians hold an unfavourable view of Israel, up from 74 per cent a year earlier. That is not a fringe. It is the country.
“Segal treats it as a contagion, four in five Australians as suspects.”
The Israelisation of Australia. Segal’s report is an attack on democracy. Abolish the job. michaelwest.com.au/the-israe… via @MichaelWestBiz

One year ago today, Victoria made history by enshrining Australia's first Treaty into law - a historic step towards truth, justice and First Nations led self-determination.
It's time for the rest of Australia to catch up.

Pauline Hanson is upset at ON getting a new staffer that she's been arguing for. UH? Did I read that right? OF COURSE I FKN DID, Hanson is having a Hughesy.
So, let me get this straight.
OH, BEFORE WE START, let's hear from DAVID FARLEY himself:
"Any suggestion that staffing resources or water policy outcomes could be used as an inducement to influence my political position is both disrespectful and misguided." - David Farley (Michelle Grattan, Mirage News, 30/10/2026).
RIGHT. NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT OUT OF THE WAY...
𖧀 David Farley offered an additional staffer → REFUSES IT.
𖧀 BARNABY JOYCE offered an additional staffer → ACCEPTS IT.
UH?
Farley to Peta Credlin:
"He [Albo] generously offered me, unsolicited, a staffer, a high-level staffer which, quite frankly, I need." - Credlin, News24, 29/10/2026.
Credlin asks Farley whether Murray-Darling funding was offered in exchange for supporting the government's water buybacks.
FARLEY REPLIES:
"NO." - Reported 30/10/2026.
OOPS!
Now, let's examine this extraordinary staffer scandal, shall we?
The staff allocation was NOT unique to Farley.
The Prime Minister's office confirmed that BARNABY JOYCE received the same offer. Joyce ACCEPTED his additional staffer.
Farley was reportedly the ONLY lower-house crossbencher without an additional personal staff member. - ABC News, 29/10/2026.
Oh dear. THIS IS STARTING TO LOOK LIKE SPIN, GINGER.
And here's where it gets even more interesting.
Albanese meets with crossbenchers ALL THE TIME.
THIS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.
It's called consultation, Pauline. You know, that thing governments are SUPPOSED to do?
Meeting with Farley is NOT unusual.
Additionally, Farley and Albanese had an established relationship LONG BEFORE Farley entered Parliament as a One Nation MP.
Farley himself confirmed that Albanese had helped him during the live cattle dispute.
Their recent private meetings were therefore NOT meetings between strangers.
A THORN IN HANSON'S SIDE?
Bleat. Bleat.
Furthermore, here is a VERY SMALL selection of crossbenchers and political opponents Albanese has met with (on record):
• Kate Chaney
• Allegra Spender
• Zali Steggall
• Helen Haines
• Dai Le
• David Pocock
• Jacqui Lambie
AND... WAIT FOR IT...
RALPH BUBBA BABET!
LOL.
And that's just a selection. There are MANY MORE meetings ON RECORD.
IT IS NOT UNUSUAL, PAULINE.
Now, here's what I SUSPECT is actually going on.
Hanson is PISSED that Farley STILL maintains a longstanding working relationship with Albanese.
Could this be making Hanson and James Ashby nervous?
THINK: DEFECTION.
Farley's relationship with Albanese predates his membership of One Nation, and reports of a potential defection have already circulated.
So, is Pauline worried about losing one of her shiny new MPs?
Is this sudden OUTRAGE an opportunity for Hanson and Ashby to grab media attention AND haul Farley back into line?
That's our reading of it.
Especially when Farley's own comments don't exactly reinforce the picture Hanson is desperately trying to paint.
And let's not forget:
ONE NATION HAS BEEN DEMANDING MORE STAFFERS FOR MONTHS.
Albanese offers an additional staffer to Farley.
Farley says he NEEDS 𖧀 one.
𖧀 𖧀 Barnaby Joyce has ALREADY ACCEPTED an additional staffer.
But Pauline?
SQUEAL. SQUEAL. SQUEAL.
Apparently, additional staffing is wonderful when you're demanding it, but becomes a sinister political conspiracy when Albanese actually OFFERS it.
AND THESE ARE STAFFERS THAT WE, THE TAXPAYERS, FUND.
Now, while we're on the subject of STAFFERS...
Let's not forget Pauline's Paltry Party and her DAUGHTER, LEE HANSON.
Employed as a senior adviser to One Nation's NSW Senator Sean Bell, who was parachuted in from Queensland.
But where does Lee work?
TASMANIA!
UH?
And according to The Guardian's investigation of 16 September 2026, Lee Hanson was working remotely from Tasmania WITHOUT the required ministerial approval for that alternative work base.
OH, THE IRONY.
Before the cookers start frothing, we've covered this from the staffing NEED all the way through to WORK FROM HOME arrangements.
Don't even try.
SO, TO SUMMARISE:
• Albanese meets with an MP he has known for years.
• He offers that MP a staffer.
• The MP acknowledges the offer was GENEROUS and that he actually NEEDS the staffer.
• Another One Nation MP, Barnaby Joyce, ACCEPTS a comparable staffing allocation.
• Farley explicitly rejects the suggestion that staffing or water policy could influence his political position.
And Pauline Hanson turns the whole thing into a political soap opera about grubby dealings and sinister influence.
All while demanding MORE STAFFERS.
HANSON IS GRANDSTANDING.
Full of shit, and perhaps it's time she actually did some work.
A link to Hanson's outrageous blurt will be in replies. All 555 words of the distortion of reality.

They are finally starting to come clean — the billions being spent by the Defence Department are being spent to defend America!
💥 ADF wants new $10-billion missiles in order to protect US military bases and other defence facilities in Australia …
… instead of protecting Australian citizens.
And mainstream defence analysts are finally starting to wise up. 👇

Segal is very loose in her analysis and with the truth. Outrageous that she has been given such power
Here's just one example. Under the heading of Islamic Extremism, Segal claims that AFP Commissioner Krissy Barrett "declared" the statement below.
The quote attributed to Krissy Barrett ('Krissy Barrett declared') even has a footnote. As you'll see, citation 3 sends us off to an article in the Australian by Greg Brown on Oct 8, 2026.
I read that article and I could not find a direct quote anywhere from Krissy Barrett declaring those words attributed to her. Those words are the words of the journalist, Greg Brown editorialising Ms Barrett. theaustralian.com.au/nation/…
The journalist has included a great deal of direct quotes from Ms Barrett in the article, but no quotes of hers that declare, "Islamic fundamentalism would continue to be the biggest terror risk over the next year, and that the local threat from Hamas supporters was not declining."
Rather the 'quote' is from the words of the journalist, Greg Brown of the Australian - it is not a direct quote or declaration from the AFP's Krissy Barrett.

First cab off the rank for cuts - AUKUS.
AUKUS funds jobs in the UK, and USA, public housing in Australia for the US military, massive profits in the arms industry, lavish lifestyles for “consultants”, retired politicians, defence personnel and public servants.
No brainer!

It's the veneer of respectability she chooses to cultivate. Don't forget, the law firm Arnold Bloch Leibler, headed up by renowned racist, Mark Leibler, offered their services to the Voice campaign and publicly "supported" it
The pro-Israelis have decades of cultivating the right people and the right look and the right causes, all while happily destroying another nation and despising another race

Protect "Jewish Australians" from exactly what, George?
Hurt feelings of Zionist Jews when we oppose Israel's genocide of Palestinians? Anxiety of Zionist Jews when they see a person wearing a T-Shirt emblazoned with a watermelon?
Australians don't hate Jews. We hate GENOCIDE.

Scoop - this could save the Australian govt millions in resources. Just in case Jillian Segal, Albo, et al were wondering where the rise in anti-lsrael sentiment is coming from.
It's not caused by the ABC or SBS or progressives or anybody else.
It's driven by lsrael itself.

Never one to follow a subtle agenda, Segal directs us to the key groups she sees as driving alleged antisemitism.
Neo-nazis, you say? White supremacists? Racists who do Heil H*tler salutes and stand on the steps of NSW Parliament calling for the end of Jewish people and their deaths? Actual antisemites?
Well no, not so much.
Segal reassures us that: 'far-right antisemitism has not been the primary source of concern or anxiety to members of the Jewish community recently.'
Okay then. I would have thought people threatening to kill me would be far more troubling than a person wearing a scarf or wanting an end to war in Palestine. But anyway, let's guess what Jillian claims is the main source? Yes, you guessed it. It is the fault of the far-left and modern progressives.
In fact, Segal devotes 781 words and 5 footnotes to telling us how awful the progressives are but only 250 words and zero footnotes elaborating on the neo-Nazi, far right threat, an increase of 211% in the amount of analysis devoted to progressives.
But perhaps people who spend time organising Marxist revolutionary agendas against the government just require more page space.

A group of Australian citizens were kidnapped on international waters and beaten senseless on camera by their captors - Israel
The most prominent Israel advocate in Australia - Jillian Segal - has so far said nothing about the welfare of her fellow Australian citizens nor condemned this atrocious abuse of human rights and brutality by her home state of Israel
Jillian Segal is an employee of the Australian people charged with promoting "social cohesion" and her silence on this blatant Israeli abuse of her fellow Australians is a disgrace to these abused citizens and to the Australian taxpayers who fund her
