But the craven Australian government seems to have no red lines for Israeli interference. Or crimes against humanity. #auspol [contains quote post or other embedded content]08 Sep 2026 04:37 +0000at://did:plc:5dic27ocbqannaaqxkwcodnq/app.bsky.feed.post/3muy7ad4ock2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/simonrosenberg.bsky.social/post/3muy6t5yg322l“We just wanted cheaper groceries.
