We understand that @prayutofficial Govt and court has ruled to release Hakeem. My thanks go to the wonderful people of Thailand for your support and to Thai Govt for upholding international law. My deepest gratitude. Also to everyone who stood for what’s right 👏 #Hakeemhome

Nine fingers. If you look hard enough, you can see them. Behind the glass, hidden, silenced, erased. They don’t play tennis. They don’t have fans, podcasts, sponsors or titles. But they’re human. Invisible, hope slips away again. Nine fingers. For nine years. Let them go.

Many wonderful people stepped forward to help Hakeem. They all deserve to be in front of camera now, not only me. I can’t list them, but will thank each of them in time. My thoughts are with Hakeem’s wife. Her nightmare will shortly be at an end. Our prayers answered #Hakeemhome

Djokovic is out. Now let the refugees go. #Djokovic @djokernole

Let’s get a few things straight. It’s not us. It’s you. Australia, and Australians, are really easy to get along with. But we don’t take gaslighting well, at all. Including attacks on Australia for fulfilling the most rudimentary duty to hold any country accountable to international law. You, the perpetrator, are wholly responsible for the impacts of your crimes. As a wanted war criminal leading a state alleged of genocide, the deliberate starvation of innocent children, found guilty of racial segregation and apartheid over many decades and of systematic attacks on the international legal system that we rely on. Our obligations to the international court extend to not promoting or supporting genocide or the discriminatory practices of apartheid, in any way. This includes the refusal of entry to any official, individual or group guilty of incitement, or supportive of ethnic cleansing or apartheid. So says the International Court of Justice. Whilst we are legally required to do more, Australians are, in fact, rightly taking pride in finally taking a stand against genocide, and apartheid. The surest way to secure a visa to Australia, and our famously loyal and valued friendship as a country and people is not to perpetrate, support, fund or promote genocide, ethnic cleansing, deliberate starvation or apartheid. Hope that helps.

Finally, after 9 years the lie is unmasked & the doors open. A colossal waste of time, money & innocent life. My apologies to everyone we’ve harmed. There’s a long journey to ensure it never happens again. But for now, the Game is Over. #GameOver abc.net.au/news/2022-04-07/f…

This child is almost 4. Almost her entire life has been behind wire. It’s a level of cruelty so bewildering, but it’s happening in contemporary Australia, at obscene taxpayer expense. When will enough of us decide that torturing kids is not part of this country? My 💜 Tharnicaa

This is disgusting. Attempts to engineer conflict and entrap Australians: • are not journalism • undermine trust in media that is already extremely low • do nothing to confront any real examples of bigotry that may exist and, • destroys any legitimacy of associated coverage by that organisation. It makes all communities less safe and promotes suspicion about the motives of others when we need to build community trust. Well done to all community leaders who have condemned it. Exactly what Australia does not need.

Freedom to infect others? Freedom to cause fellow Australians to die? Freedom to put at risk and overload frontline and medical professionals? Freedom to affect/infect other States to ensure millions more Australians must lockdown? Disgusting.

Muslim communities of Aust & NZ please know the vile haters do not represent our country., we condemn all hate speech, organisations, division, racial and religious bigots, supremacists. Tens of millions of us stand with you tonight, and every day. We are devastated for your loss

Don’t be too down Australia. The dream is not over. It’s only just begun. Congratulations @Lionesses To @TheMatildas You’ve made history & captivated an entire nation. You’ve set Australia & @AlboMP the task of winning World Cups & changed the country. We love you 💚💛

Yes. We do.

Sadly, I understand the amazing Ellie Carpenter continues to receive disgusting abuse and threats online following the #FIFAWWC Semi Final. Keep up the phenomenal work, Ellie, you're a hero to us all.. Go @matildas 💚💛 #FIFAWWC #Matildas

I’ve so enjoyed seeing Grace Tame become one of Australia’s most influential voices. She’s gained this trust because we value people who can so obviously profit by acquiescence, as AOTY, yet maintain independence & a fierce commitment to justice. You’re brilliant, @TamePunk 👏

Most important thing now is Hakeem’s immediate wellbeing. Sure Embassy staff will take care of him, there’ll be tears there tonight, as there are in our household right now. Going to take some moments to thank as many of the incredible people involved as possible ✊ #SaveHakeem

Flying to Melb to see everyone close to Hakeem, welcome him tomorrow. This is significant win for humanity, people everywhere standing up for good, pushing back against regimes who flout international law, for human rights. Gives us hope to help others, everywhere #Hakeemhome

Thanks Anna and @ChrisMinnsMP But, no thanks. I look forward to being ‘in the presence of’ our first Aussie Head of State. When we put our big pants on, as a country.

Sadly, Australia has voted no. Thinking of all First Nations people tonight and their long struggle for justice 🖤❤️💛

I stand with First Nations people today, that marks the moment their sovereignty was denied, their humanity discounted & their culture desecrated. Changing our celebratory date is just one small part of building a stronger nation on foundations of truth, equality & unity.

Australia’s waking up today to recognition we’ve allowed Muslim Australia, our own brothers & sisters to be demonised, marginalised. Has to stop. My thanks to all demanding a new national conversation re Muslim Australia, refugees, multiculturalism, racism. God knows, we need it.

Everyone extremely drained, only one with energy tonight is Hakeem! He’s so happy to be home, wants to thank everyone, says he has to help Australia now. You’re my little brother I told him, you have my protection & help whenever you need. Tonight, all will sleep well #ThanksAll

This is abhorrent behaviour. Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal, indicted by the International Criminal Court. He should be immediately arrested by any country that purports to support international law. The fact that any politician, or party in Australia or elsewhere would indicate they would not follow through on their obligations under international law is extremely disturbing. It places every Australian at risk as it undermines the very system of rules that underpins our rights including basics like consular protection abroad, human rights protections, aside from basic sovereignty and territorial integrity without which the world is lawless. Australia is obligated under the treaties we have signed to support the independence and rulings of the international justice system which includes the duty to prevent genocide where sufficient evidence exists to invoke that duty, and to end apartheid where legally established by the ICJ. This requires sanctions and all measures to bring it to an end. Our duties are very clear. They do not change according to the case, the State, the individual or any other factor. Netanyahu is a wanted war criminal. And Australia should deliver him to The Hague. As we would any other. Being committed to the arrest of Putin, Duterte or Netanyahu is not a reflection of Australia’s regard or otherwise for our local communities, and should never be characterised as such for political gain, but of our unwavering commitment to justice under the international law established with our direct and proud involvement, and on which our future relies.

8yrs ago, NZ offered to resettle 150 refugees per year that Australia refused to help @sonnybillwilliams & I are calling on @scottmorrisonmp to accept the offer These empty chairs symbolise lost lives, dreams, hope in the interim at a cost of $10 billion + our humanity

207 new Citizens today from 44 countries at Fed Sq inc one very proud new Aussie who, after Australia demonstrated our values in fighting for his freedom, is deeply motivated to contribute to his new country. We’re proud of you Hakeem, and delighted to welcome you onboard 👏

A message for @ScottMorrisonMP from inside the cage. Let’s stop locking innocent people up. 9 years caged is torture. We’d be screaming if it was us, our family, kids, friends, so how can we possibly do it to others? There’s no justification. Let them go. #GameOver

Proudly and very hopefully voting Yes this morning. Fingers crossed for Aussies to take an important step forward in First Nations rights, recognition and improved life outcomes. Whatever happens today, the journey does not end, but simply continues in a different form.

A reminder that there are still people on Nauru who’ve been there for 10 years. Away from their families. It’s inconceivable that Australia could treat anyone in this way. This is Kaium who has asked for his photo to be shared. We must get everyone off Nauru immediately.

Racist vomit. If only our politicians were ‘properly vetted’. #BringAfghansHere #HumanitarianVisas

Hands off our health system. Australians see medicine as a right, and health as a collective benefit, not least because there is an intergenerational public cost of poor health and sickness. Made worse if Aussies cannot access preventative medicines or have to go into debt to access life-saving treatments. A health system should operate at the lowest possible cost that enable the highest standards. As soon as people have to make choices about whether to compromise on treatments, a country has warped priorities. No one wants, nor has any respect for an American health industry with lower health outcomes, lower life expectancy, higher chronic disease rates, higher infant mortality. And extremely high profits.

With racism a rising social scourge in Australia, on online platforms & athletes subject to vile abuse after #Euro2020Final + here in Australia, to see this from a major network in Australia is beyond disgusting. Reprehensible. There needs to be a public apology @7NewsAustralia

Idiots. Hey Americans, This one got out alive. Don’t ever touch our wildlife unless in a controlled environment with highly trained Australians, and only Australians, present to save your life. Every animal and insect in Australia has evolved to eat you, bite you in half, strangle you, inject you with poison, suck your blood, punch you, divebomb from the sky, send you into a coma or, at the very least and only if in a good mood, just take a limb or two. Think of Australia as a stress test for humans. That’s the way we like it. So hands off. Or hands gone. Now go home.

Not a slap in the face. Australians just aren’t interested anymore. The vast majority of us want to move on. Monarchists who want Aussies to bend a knee and who are desperately holding onto the past are less than 8% of the country, today. And many of us also want historical accountability and not to be associated any longer with a monarchy with both positive, and very negative legacies here and across the former British empire. Something that Charles should be asked about when on Australian soil.

The culture of silencing, attacks and labelling human rights advocacy and of holding all Governments to account, without exception, is beneath Australia, and Australians. We should never be fearful to stand up for human rights. ⁦@RadioNational⁩ abc.net.au/listen/programs/r…

Politics rarely leads. The most important social and political change has, and by design must, always come from the people. Unfortunately, it takes too long, as politics resists, media condemns. As history shows, everyone has something to protect, a reason not to be brave. Sometimes, it happens faster, because something triggers the masses. A threshold is reached. People can’t stand anymore. They take to the streets, risk themselves, choose what is right over what is safe, the zeitgeist shifts, and politics responds. There were extensive anti-apartheid protests in Australia over 40 years, for example, spanning from the late 1940’s through the 1980’s. The 1971 South African Springbok rugby union tour of Australia sparked widespread protests across the country. Activists disrupted matches, blocked team movements and led marches, resulting in arrests, a state of emergency in Queensland, and the cancellation of a planned cricket tour. Eventually, Australia applied sanctions and in some ways, led. Today, we are immensely proud of the role we played. The patterns are not new. They just repeat. Those Australians carried a fierce love, the kind that doesn’t back down, the kind humanity most needs. Standing against genocide, apartheid, illegal occupation, the deliberate starvation of children and for all innocent people is never wrong. Doesn’t matter where it is. It is confronting, yes, irrespective of the media framing or power dynamics of today, Australia will take immense pride that 300,000+ people chose to confront mass injustice, protect innocent children, support international law, commit to shared humanity and demand a just peace. Unfortunately, it’s not enough. It’ll take many more. The children of Gaza will need you, too.

Extraordinary night. Well done @TheMatildas Stared the pressure down 👏 Right decisions by Gustavsson. Go @Lionesses Thankyou Ireland 👏 Well done Aussie crowd ❤️ The dream is well and truly alive 💪 #FIFAWWC #Matildas

Stop the executions of innocent Iranians protesting for basic freedoms & women's rights. A former footballer is among those being executed. 'Nasr-Azadani’s family have been repeatedly "threatened" by the Islamic Republic’s security forces’ #MahsaAmini iranwire.com/en/politics/111…

You’re kidding, surely.

At long last.

Melbourne, Australia in recent days. Following on from Brisbane. Neo-Nazi groups hear the public normalisation and defence of exclusion, demonisation, racism, hate very clearly and respond accordingly. If Australia wants to condemn hatred and protect our multicultural society, this is where the outrage should be directed. Not at students protesting against genocide, vulnerable communities or people fleeing persecution.

Merry Xmas all. @AzimiMoz first Xmas as a free man in 9 yrs. That’s disgusting to contemplate as an Australian. All of his refugee friends deserve to be free. There are still many locked up in Australia and PNG. Think about that over the festive season, please. #GameOver

Australia’s abstention from the United Nations vote on the protection of civilians and upholding international legal and humanitarian obligations in the Israel/Palestine conflict is deplorable and deeply sad. That should be a given.

9 years imprisonment. The same men who were on Manus/Nauru when @ScottMorrisonMP was Immigration Minister in 2013. He’s fully aware of their status & length of detention. Is 9 years imprisonment not horrific in any event? There’s no escaping the horror. Let them out.

Today and every day, I stand with all Jewish, Palestinian, Arabic, Lebanese and Muslim Australians who support peace, self determination and equal rights for all. All my love to every family still suffering today, in Australia and abroad, who have needlessly lost a loved one and to those yet in harm’s way.

The least we can do is ‘march for humanity.’ Otherwise, it’s surely lost. Australia had a clear duty 18 months ago, when urged by the international court, to do whatever we could to prevent genocide in Gaza. We failed. History will not judge us kindly. While a legal conclusion will take years, and all major human rights organisations have already concluded that Israel is committing genocide, our duty to prevent persists, and is more urgent, every day. Images of emaciated kids being deliberately starved have shocked Australia, and finally woken the world. Peace starts with justice, and justice with international law, and the failure of multiple Australian governments to apply it consistently over many decades has contributed to the suffering we see today. We must act to protect all innocent people, apply the same standards consistently, and support justice for all parties through the international courts. I’ll speak about Australia’s responsibilities to each other, and the world, at this weekend’s march. And as a former NSW Australian of the Year, call on the NSW Premier, NSW Police and the judiciary to recognise that not only do citizens have a right to peacefully protest, but we all share a deep responsibility, when called upon by humanity, to stop the gravest of crimes. And that the condemnations and statements of the past 18 months now ring as hollow, as the empty stomach of a Palestinian child.

Let them go.

My thoughts on the shameful, relentless racial vilification of leading First Nations journalist, Stan Grant and his subsequent resignation from Q&A. It only strengthens the need for change.

All MP’s who’ll vote on taking mobiles from innocent refugees in detention should check your own phone first, if not your conscience How many Zoom’s? Photos of family? Past memories? How much is keeping in touch worth to you? Are they not people as well? #NoPhonesNoLife

‘Why they (media) and everyone else is working so hard not to offend a family whose name was branded into people’s skin, and who sit atop a pile of stolen wealth wearing crowns adorned with other country’s treasures.’ Of course, Australia’s future is a matter for us. But we should not ignore these aspects of our history. These questions might be put to Chuck. Rather than if he is going to the Randwick races. Today, the majority of Australians don’t want to be any longer formally associated with this legacy. Certainly not to represent us as Head of State.
