One year ago at this very hour I was in the lobby of the Danbury prison. Shortly after the photo was taken I was stripped naked, had my body cavities searched, was issued khakis, and locked away.

Your support got me through. So grateful.šŸ‘Šā¤ļø

Thank you so much Kieran Pender and Human Rights Law Centre .

Without your support, Iā€™m not sure Iā€™d be alive.

Mark Dreyfus doesnā€™t genuinely support the things he claims to. It shames the Anthony Albanese Govt. They say one thing, but do the complete opposite in private.

I have been asked a bit about sub judice contempt over the last 24 hours so I thought I would share some of the basics. Sub judice contempt is a form of contempt which is engaged when a particular proceeding is before the court.

BREAKING: Israel is bombing Syria's Damascus yet again.

This is the third unprovoked Israeli aggression against Syria in less than a week.

Where is the global outrage? Where are the calls for sanctions?

In case you wondered what the 'bullying' thing was about: Coalition talking points show opposition intends to argue Anthony Albanese is not ā€œprime ministerialā€ and will insist he apologise to Michelle Landry and was trying to ā€œhumiliateā€ her in parliament theguardian.com/australia-newsā€¦

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

An innocent man; arbitrarily detained in conditions that amount to TORTURE since 2019.

Medical experts reported then that was at grave risk of a FATAL event.

Hunted down for TWELVE YEARS.

Fletcher Clarke University of Tasmania This is 100% right, and really a crucial aspect of this. Ignoring it does no-one any favours & is disingenuous. These arenā€™t just private businesses. They are still publicly funded, in part, and still a collective responsibility & something the public has a right to a view on.

Dangerous & incorrect to refer to unis (incl University of Tasmania) as private organisations. They're creatures of statute. While independent, they're subject to scrutiny & oversight of parliament. To suggest otherwise is a fundamental misunderstanding of the law
