When NAZA ended last night, nobody moved. The cinema was completely silent. Everyone stayed in their seats until the very last credit had rolled.

I’ve rarely experienced anything like it.

NAZA is an extraordinary documentary in which Israeli military insiders reveal the machinery behind the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza.

What makes it even more disturbing is that Palestinians have been telling us these truths for years. Yet governments, including Australia’s, have been reluctant to listen.

I’ve written a review explaining why I believe this film is a must-see.

Please read and share.👇🏽

Some films deserve to be watched. NAZA demands it. The extraordinary new documentary NAZA, directed by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, it’s one of the most important films of our time. It exposes the systems behind the mass killing of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and provides co...

A sterilised feral cat is still a predator. So whose suffering counts when we call releasing it “humane”?

Following the debate about Greens Senator Mehreen Faruqi’s comments, I’ve written about the hard choices involved in protecting Country - and why sounding kinder doesn’t necessarily mean causing less harm.

What about bilbies, bandicoots and bettongs, Senator Senator Mehreen Faruqi?

Demanding humane treatment for feral animals while overlooking the suffering caused by failing to protect out native wildlife is selective compassion.

Australian wildlife deserves better. Especially from The Australian Greens.

What about the bilby, Senator?

Native animals deserve compassion too. Caring for Country requires more than words - and conservation requires confronting difficult decisions.

My latest takes on Senator Mehreen Faruqi’s selective compassion.

https://www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/mehreen-faruqi-s-selective-compassion

Greens senator Meheen Faruqi says words matter. She is right. “Extinction”, “native animals“, “responsibility and “Country” are all words that should carry particular weight for Australians, especially a Greens senator.Last week, Senator David Pocock called for a fully funded, long-ter...

Imagine the Australian Government sanctioning the High Court because it didn’t like who was being held accountable. We would rightly question what that meant for independent justice.

That’s the principle at stake with America’s sanctions against the International Criminal Court.

Eight international partners, including Britain, Canada and Japan, have jointly opposed the sanctions. Australia’s name is missing from their statement.

Relations with the United States should still allow us to speak clearly when its government undermines institutions we support.

Australia should stand alongside our friends in defending international justice. It’s time to show some courage.

Seriously. Medieval town squares, the Taliban, Game of Thrones—and now the United States?

The Pentagon has announced plans to livestream an ex*****on by firing squad. This follows a separate botched lethal injection in Tennessee. The United Nations has called the broadcast proposal abhorrent.

The crime was appalling. The victims and their families deserve justice. But why does the government need a public audience for someone’s death?

I want leaders who exercise restraint, respect human dignity and understand that power comes with responsibility.

For Australians, this should prompt some hard questions about politicians who admire Trump and borrow his methods.

We definitely don’t need Trumpism here.

Tell big coal they’re dreaming!

Hunter Valley locals just had their own ‘The Castle’ moment in the High Court.

And they won. More than the vibe.👇🏽
