“Herzog is Israel’s head of state, as opposed to #BenjaminNetanyahu, who wields executive power as the nation’s prime minister. Albanese said at the time it was “entirely appropriate for the head of state to visit”, indicating he had not invited Netanyahu. Herzog, writing on social media, accepted the government’s invitation, and said he had also been invited by the Zionist Federation of Australia to join the Jewish community on his visit.

Labor Friends of Palestine claimed Herzog had “actively supported and enabled a long list of the gravest violations of international law” during the Gaza bombardment, claiming he “works hand-in-hand” with #Netanyahu, who is subject to #InternationalCriminalCourt arrest warrants for #WarCrimes and crimes against humanity. The #ICC has not issued an arrest warrant for Herzog.”

The Haig.

“A #NewSouthWales #MP has asked the federal minister for home affairs to investigate whether Israel has breached Australia’s #ForeignInfluence laws by authoring a #dossier naming him and other politicians as promoting antisemitic and anti #Zionist content.

Anthony D’Adam, a convener of Labor Friends of Palestine, wrote to #TonyBurke on Monday, asking him to investigate after the document written by the Israeli Government’s Ministry for Diaspora Affairs was referenced in the Australian #newspaper.”

…

“The Israeli government, through the publication of this dossier, is seeking to interfere in Australian political discourse by attempting to intimidate and discredit critics of the Israeli Government.”

We investigate the #shadowy players behind #AdvanceAustralia, #better Australia, and the so-called #MinorityImpactCoalition, revealing how these '#astroturfers' are sowing fear and lies, deploying #DarkMoney to rig the #conversation.

Who #funds them? Why now? And why is the #AEC doing nothing?”

“Volunteers wearing #MoniqueRyan campaign t-shirts have been captured on video saying a community organisation, which has historical links to the Chinese #Communist Party’s #ForeignInfluenceOperation, told them to vote for the teal MP.

In the footage, a woman says the instruction came from #JiJianmin, who is the president of the #HubeiAssociation, an organisation representing people from the Chinese province that has also been accused of working with the #UnitedFrontDepartment, a Chinese government agency that advances #CCP interests internationally.”
