Australian PM referred to ICC for complicity in genocide

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has been referred to the International Criminal Court as an accessory of genocide to Gaza, announced this morning.

He's the first leader of a Western nation to be referred to the ICC over complicity in genocide. This could set a precedent for other leaders, such as Joe Biden and Rishi Sunak, to also be referred and potentially face trial.

Over the summer period, Australia was wracked by its sharpest wave of COVID illness and death in six months, with well over a thousand lives lost. The vast majority of people would have no knowledge of the toll, however, because it has not been commented on by the federal Labor government or any of the state administrations and has been buried in the official media.

As is the case internationally, what has been created and imposed upon the population is an invisible pandemic. While the authorities pretend that COVID is a thing of the past, thousands are continuously infected with a potentially deadly disease that has claimed more than twenty million lives worldwide over the past four years.

New signs for the Free Palestine rallies.

The Albanese/Labor Gov will be remembered as the most craven leadership in Australian history. By not calling for a ceasefire, or applying any pressure on Israel/USA to cease the genocide and illegal occupation of Palestine, it's made clear that Australia has lost its autonomy. We behave as if we are naught but a spineless satellite state for the US. Albo doesn't care to be a leader of a sovereign nation. he'd rather be the gimp on the end of Biden's leash.

the Murdoch Empire should just say they hate Autistics and go

because why can’t I find a non-Murdoch news outlet talking about these supposed cuts to the NDIS proposed by Albo and Labor?

Very Angry Commentary on the State of Race Relations in Australia

In 2017 the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), whose raison d'etre is to take action against injustice related to racial discrimination, recommended that Australia “accelerate its efforts to implement the self-determination demands of Indigenous peoples, as set out in the “Uluru statement from the heart”.

The state of the rights and quality of life of indigenous people in Australia should be taken as an international embarrassment and action taken immediately to correct it. Whether it is a voice or a treaty, the status quo cannot continue.

And it's not like you can tell people they're being racist here, there is a semi-allergic reaction to even slightly being told you are a racist or racially insensitive. White people, get over yourself. we cannot correct the injustices that benefit you and only you, the injustices that are actively quashing everyone without drawing attention to them.

Do you get it?

Australia's image in the world literally depends on this bare minimum action called 'the voice'. Do you care that this will impact how Australians are viewed and treated out in the world? And more importantly, whether or not the quality of life of people who come from indigenous backgrounds.

If people are so reliant on their racism to feel a sense of worth in this country, then they don't care. They are so self-important that they don't care that the lack of voice, treaty, or adequate representation is killing children from preventable heart disease, it's pushing teenagers and young adults into impossible situations, it is putting children who could have had a different outcome behind bars because the same empathy that is given to upper-class white kids isn't extended to them.

Yet those racists (white or not) who believe that all of that injustice is justified continue to have a voice, representation, and power in society. Why are they allowed this?

Australia's brand of racism is so unique and impenetrable. refusing to be educated and would rather bring harm to itself than concede the imaginary supremacy that racists and their cronies from other ethnicities believe whites should have.

If white people are so much better, why are they… like that. (This isn't reverse racism, because that's not a thing.)

The Uluru statement from the heart is a simple and effective piece of literature in which some indigenous people were able to put forth their concerns in as loving a matter of fact as they could have. A diplomatic attitude that they honestly did not owe the settler communities. Yet that statement was met with derision and disrespect bordering on sociopathy from those who are interested in maintaining white supremacy in this country.

Albanese, Wong and their Labor colleagues are accomplices in these atrocities. They have insisted on Israel’s “right to defend itself” through the carpet bombing of a territory that it illegally occupies. The Pine Gap spy base in central Australia, jointly operated with the US, has almost certainly provided targeting information via the US for Israeli strikes. Australia supplies key components for the F-35 fighter jets that have been dropping their payloads on the people of Gaza. And above all, Labor is marching in the closest of lockstep with the Biden administration, which is arming, funding and overseeing the genocide.

The one thing that rang true in their pantomime over Frankcom’s tragic death were comments by Albanese and Wong, denouncing opponents of the genocide for threatening “social cohesion.” Whatever their contortions, Labor supports the slaughter and is hostile to the mass of workers and young people who want it to end.
