Professor Nizam Mamode (British Surgeon): Speaking to the UK Parliament's International Development Committee and featured in a BBC News Video Report, Prof. Mamode broke down as he described treating children who were intentionally targeted by quadcopter drones. He testified that after a bomb would drop, drones would fly down to deliberately fire upon injured civilians and children lying on the ground. bbc.com/news/articles/c7893v…

The message from Mark Kenny needs to be repeated again and again and again. The mainstream media, most of which is owned in Australia by one man, thrives on spreading hate, division and turmoil. Powerful women are a particular target. #insiders #Newscorpse
Finally. Mark Kenny: “The missing pièce in this is the role of the media…it thrives on division.”👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #Insiders #Auspol

#Insiders if we actually had media which held the LNP to account Snowy Hydro would be a milstone around Anus Taylor's neck. Oh look, gormless @David_Speers posts a Chris Bowen video. So the biased media now re-writing history on the failed LNP project. #auspol #mediabias

Murdoch alcoholic Prue MacSween getting on her high horse about Helen Haines & Albo. Prue MacSween said this about Yassmin Abdel in 2017- “I’m tempted to run over Yassmin Abdel Magied” Another vile hypocritical RWNJ. @macsween_prue #auspol @News24Aust @abcnews @newscomauHQ

This is not Gaza. This is Hebron today. The Israeli occupation has begun destroying Palestine’s economic capital, a city that accounts for 75% of the country’s production in the stone and marble, leather and footwear, plastics, glass, oils, dairy, and gold industries. Ethnic cleansing is being inflicted on the Palestinian people everywhere across the land of Palestine.

Could Western news media please STOP calling them "Israeli settlers". Words matter. They're Israeli invaders in illegally occupied Palestinian territory. They're Israeli terrorists committing violence against Palestinian villagers. #WestBank #FreePalestine #journalism

Heidi Levine, the Washington Post journalist brutally attacked by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank last week, said the terrifying ordeal has only strengthened her resolve to continue covering the plight of Palestinians. cnn.it/4iBNh4Y

Gaza has no schools left. Israel bombed them all.
It is a stain on us as a society that Jewish children are frightened to go to school in Britain in 2026. I welcome Sir David Bell's review & thank those brave enough to share their experiences. Warm words will not be enough, the recommendations must be properly enforced.

🇦🇱|HE PLACED HIS HAND ON A FEMALE JOURNALIST'S FACE. Edi Rama put his hand on a female journalist's face on camera. That is who he is. This is a Prime Minister touching a woman journalist's face to silence her. To dominate. To show power. This is a man who thinks a woman's body is his podium. Same man deployed stun grenades, tear gas, water cannons, armed police against students. Same man detained 6,800 people, majority minors. Same man in dead of night announced plan to lower age of criminal responsibility so protesting children can be sent to prison. Same man ordered armored vehicles onto streets against unarmed students. Same man whose police blew off a 15 year old student's hand with a stun grenade. Same man who every year puts Albania among lowest for press freedom. Same man documented by Reporters Without Borders for political pressure, verbal abuse, judicial harassment of journalists. Same man who attacks journalists, labels outlets, calls critical reporting foreign forces. Flamingo Revolution starts and he says Russia mobilized tens of thousands of fake accounts. He says Iran republic of terror is instigating unrest. He says there are no coincidences. Every criticism is foreign plot. Every journalist is foreign agent. Every student is terrorist. He touches a journalist's face because he believes no one will stop him. He jails children because he believes no one will stop him. He sends armored cars because he believes no one will stop him. He is a coward who hits women and jails children and hides behind foreign forces excuse. A hand that touches a woman journalist's face is a hand that will sign orders to crush students. A hand that jails minors is a hand that will never be respected. This is who he is. Monster with state power. Predator with police. #EdiRama #Albania

Australia's govt debt non-crisis. A fuss about peanuts. Gross govt debt was steady this week at $994.9 billion. It has been at or around this level for the best part of a year with the trivial budget deficit keeping debt levels on a very gradual glide path higher. Next week, the govt will borrow just $4.0 billion of bonds & T-Notes – there are no maturities which means next Friday gross debt will be $998.9 billion. There is lots to cheer in these numbers & nothing to be frightened of. Boo! youtube.com/watch?v=T3lDCi_d…

That is very bad news. The ABC has such a low priority on economics & markets that a small team is left to carry the can on the most important issue for society - the economy. Shows like Insiders rarely mention economic issues, let alone debate them. So too podcasts like Politics Now where we know more about the presenters children's thoughts on politics than analysis of what is happening in the economy. The ABC funds juvenile shows like Planet America as part of its saturation coverage of things in the US. Listen to the ABC news - more likely to cover a storm in US mid-west than details of the Australian labour market. Or a random shooter in some wretched town down south. Of course it covers every brain-fart of Trump, but stuff-all on unfolding economic issues in Australia. Bad move ABC, but go well David!
1: I’m a little sad to say that after 20 years, The Business (which started off as Lateline Business) has been cancelled. The final episode will air on 10 December. I had a lot of fun filing TV stories for this program, guest-hosting it over the years…

Trump doesn’t like the Pacific because it’s a peaceful name.
NEWS: During a rally held last night, President Trump stated that he wants to rename the Pacific Ocean the "American Ocean." He then asked the crowd how they thought Europe might react to such a thing. Look, I’m no cartographer, but I’m pretty sure the body of water between the United States and Europe is not the Pacific Ocean.

Helen Haines also defeated Liberal party candidates 3 times in 2019, 2022, and 2025. The chances of the Liberal party not having a dirt file on her are about a billion to one. RW legacy media would never publish that one, though.
