Starring: PM, PMC, Min for Home Affairs, Dept of Home Affairs.
Cameo: Jillian Segal
Still on the casting couch: Transparency
With much fanfare and a blaze of publicity the appointment of Jillian Segal as the Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism (ASECA) was announced on 9 July.
Cameras rolling action!
Albo, flanked by then Immi min, Andrew Giles, & Labor MPs Mike Freelander & Josh Burns were there to show how serious the government was in combating antisemitism (which the PM stated)....and appeasing the pro-Israel lobby.
Just wanted to provide an update on the F-35 jet fighter, obviously a lot of focus on Australia's involvement in the global supply chain/production of the jet fighter.
I've seen a few diagrams most notably this one from 2018, sourced from the Department of Defence's document: F35: AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY PARTICIPATION THE JOURNEY TO $1 BILLION
The Department of Defence also provide an occasional F-35 Fast Facts update and the most recent one being "September/October 2023" - note timing.
WILL THE LAST NON-CONFLICTED NACCSTER TURN OFF THE #ROBODEBT LIGHT
Aside from #NACC Commissioner Paul Brereton, at least one other Senior Commission Staff (very likely a Deputy Commissioner) also had a conflict of interest.
This nugget is contained in a new FOI request which sought access to the conflict of interest material lodged by the Deputy Commissioners (and senior leadership team) in relation to the #Robodebt referral.
Unhelpfully, the NACC refers to "Senior Commission Staff" making it difficult to distinguish between Deputy Commissioners and the senior leadership team.
I want to belatedly talk about a 14th anniversary which occurred in May.
Cast your minds back to late May 2010.
It was, I believe, the last time an Israeli diplomat was punted from Australia.
The Australian government run by the Labor Political Party (<hi ALP comms team, see what I did there) showed a bit of spine and actually expelled an Israeli diplomat.
Then Foreign Minister, Stephen Smith, took that action when our bosom buddies Israel, stole the identities of 4 Australians and forged passports which were then used in the assassination of a Hamas operative.
A funny thing happened on the way to the anti-doxing forum....
Zionist lobby and WhatsApp groups have sought to silence journalists and artists who hold a pro-Palestinian viewpoint.
Albo and Dreyfo's reaction, rather than seeking to rein in the covert influence of these groups, is to rush through anti-doxing laws after the membership lists of said groups were leaked and published.
The Australia Israel Jewish Affairs Council (AIJAC) itself published a list of 2000 One Nation party members and 200 donors back in July 1998 - via their journal the Australia/Israel Review (the Review).
