• Statement on Brutal Escalation of Settler Violence in Occupied West Bank
  25 July 2026: Free Palestine Melbourne strongly condemns the brutal escalation of settler violence in the occupied West Bank, particularly the attacks on the Palestinian village of Tell near Nablus, as well as the assault on Nablus Hospital. These attacks are part of an ongoing pattern of violence carried out by extremist Israeli settlers under the protection of the Israeli military, leaving Palestinian communities living under constant fear and threat.
• “Trusted Sources”: How The Conversation Laundered Gaza Self-Defence Claims into “What the Law Says” – a case study with Freedom of Information evidence
  EXCLUSIVE INVESTIGATION: It began in June 2025 as a once-faithful reader’s complaint to The Conversation — a “research-based” outlet with 47 million readers — about an article on Israel’s claimed right of self-defence in Gaza, by a Commonwealth-funded Professor of International Law. On publication day, they dismissed my complaint; the next morning, they quietly scrubbed “Here’s what the law says” from the title. As attempts at redress failed, FOI requests to the Australian National University yielded the author’s original submissions for two articles. The comparison revealed a pattern of editors abusing academic authority to provide legal cover for international crimes.

• Free Palestine Melbourne’s Submission to the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion
  Free Palestine protests are not antisemitic; they are a democratic response to mass killing and Australia’s complicity in it. Yet the Royal Commission heard witnesses brand them as hate on evidence untested by cross-examination and uncorroborated by the vast public record of 2.5 years of rallies, while descriptions of “gangs of young Muslim men” passed without challenge. Free Palestine Melbourne’s submission exposes the conflation of anti-Zionism with antisemitism for what it is: not a defence of social cohesion, but a means to silence criticism of a genocide. To brand a people’s demand for equality as hate is itself anti-Palestinian racism.

• Whose ABC? How Australia’s Public Broadcaster Failed Its Legal Obligations During Genocide
  State-funded broadcasters carry special obligations under international law that commercial outlets don’t. When the World Court put states on notice of a plausible risk of genocide in Gaza, Australia’s public broadcaster should have reported it plainly. Instead, for over two years, it referred the word “genocide” upward; it humanised Israelis 1.58 times more than Palestinians; and it unlawfully sacked Antoinette Lattouf for sharing evidence of Israel’s crimes, then chose to spend over $2.6M in taxpayer money defending its surrender to the Israel lobby. Under cover of “impartiality”, this is how “our ABC” primed Australians to consent to complicity in genocide.
• Counterweight: How Australian Media Crushed Public Pressure to Prevent Genocide
  For over two years, Australian media counterweighted the largest sustained protest movement in Australia’s history, dissipating public pressure to prevent Israel’s genocide. This cornerstone submission traces a lobby–media–state nexus through lobby-funded travel cultivating compliant editors; co-ordinated complaints, smears, sackings and litigation enforcing silence; and the exploitation of Bondi grief to recast solidarity as bigotry and manufacture a mandate to criminalise it. The Royal Commission now interrogating public discourse has itself adopted the lobby’s definition of antisemitism. Australian media didn’t just fail the public’s right to know; it primed consent for complicity in genocide, and for punishing those who oppose it.
• Anti-Palestine Bias in The Australian: Dehumanisation and Erasure as Editorial Policy
  The Australian epitomises editorial complicity: it published a denial of deliberate starvation two weeks after leaked Israeli cabinet transcripts confirmed it was chosen as a strategy of war; it printed over 100 pro-Israel letters and none critical, as 300,000 Australians marched for humanity; and while it referenced Randa Abdel-Fattah in 412 articles, our research found 148 referencing Louise Adler, including 23 dedicated attack pieces, 17 alone in the fortnight of her Adelaide Writers’ Week resignation. John Lyons, its former Jerusalem correspondent, says only three people can tell its editors what to run: Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, and AIJAC’s Colin Rubenstein.
