Labor's shifting views on Gaza leave a trail of mixed messages and abandoned tactics https://www.crikey.com.au/2025/08/05/labor-gaza-palestine-anthony-albanese-policy-recognition-penny-wong Par for the course from #Albo #auspol
#KrissyBarrett to be first female commissioner of Australian Federal Police.
#PM Albanese spoke after appointing Krissy Barrett as the new commissioner of the Australian Federal Police. It’s a historic appointment, which will see Barrett become the first woman to lead the agency.
The look Barrett is giving #albo!
#auspol #captionthephoto please.
Australia should have acted months ago to sanction #Israel and ban *all* trade with Israel amongst a bunch of other actions. What is happening in #Gaza to #Palestinian people is equivalent to what happened to #Jewish people during WWII - it is a #Holocaust, plain and simple.
The #Albo Government is once again doing ‘the least it can possibly do’

As on nearly everything, #Albo trying to position himself towards the rear of the pack on #Palestine, but not absolutely last. Problem is, lots of others trying to do the same. How I despise him. #auspol
Trade Minister #DonFarrell did well to keep a straight face.
"We don't link #biosecurity issues with trade issues," he told #SkyNews.
This came as it emerged #Australia would lift restrictions on #beef from the #US, once one of Trump's biggest trade grievances with Australia.
Supposedly, it is merely a decision taken after a decade of review. The US, meanwhile, insists it is "yet another example" of Trump's negotiating prowess. #auspol #Albo caves #TrumpRegime #auspol

#Labor appears to have totally caved to the #TrumpRegime #tariff demands going by the headlines this morning.
#Littleproud disappointed #Albo is in #China but ‘hasn’t been to see #Trump’
Littleproud comments that Albanese had secured a meeting with the #Chinese president, #XiJinping, but “hasn’t been to give Trump a blowjob. It would be the first thing I’d do if I was PM” little to be proud of said. #auspol
