Australian Elections: Racist & Lying Mainstream Presstitutes Ignore Gaza Genocide By Apartheid Israel

Australia will have Federal Elections on 3 May 2025. The main issue should be the horrific and Australia-complicit Gaza Genocide (553,000 deaths from violence and deprivation by 20 January 2025) but instead it is resolutely ignored by Mainstream Australia. Only the Greens, Socialists, Senator Lidia Thorpe, Senator Fatima Payman’s Australia’s Voice and Muslim Votes Matter-approved candidates demand an immediate end to the Gaza Genocide and the illegal Zionist Israeli Occupation.

The major Australian parties are the Trumpist, climate criminal, and Right-Far Right Liberal Party-National Party Coalition (presently in Opposition),  the  pro-fossil  fuel Exports but pro-climate change action Domestically, Centre-Right Labor Party  (presently in Government) and the pro-human rights, social humanist, and pro-climate action Greens. Australia has a world-leading compulsory and preferential voting system: for a valid vote for  the  government-determining House of Representatives numerical preference for all candidates for a seat must be indicated, and if a candidate fails to get 50% of more of the primary vote second preferences are taken into account. 

Presently the primary vote is 31% (Labor), 32% (Coalition), 13% (Greens) and 24% (others, notably the economically conservative but pro-climate change action so-called Teals). The Greens mostly give their second preference to Labor. Based on past allocation of preferences Labor with a 53% “2-party preferred vote” would win over the Coalition’s 47% [1].  However past polling has been notoriously unreliable and many predict  a minority Labor Government supported by pro-climate change action Greens and Teals.

The Australian Labor Government and the Coalition Opposition are  complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways [2] and lie for Apartheid Israel  in 35 ways [3]. While both Labor and the Coalition are craven lackeys of Zionist-perverted America and  fervently support genocidally racist and egregiously mendacious Apartheid Israel, the Coalition is the worse of the 2 evils. Thus US lackey Australia has materially supported all 1950 onwards US Asian wars, atrocities associated with Asian deaths from violence and imposed deprivation totalling 40 million [4-6]. The Coalition supported all of these abominations while Labor supported all except for the Vietnam War and the Iraq War [4-6]. 

Zionist-perverted America has devastated the Muslim world since Apartheid Israel acquired nuclear weapons by the middle 1960s with US, French and UK complicity. Famed anti-racist Jewish American scholar Professor Jeffrey Sachs (Columbia) has outlined how these massively deadly interventions from Libya to Afghanistan were directly inspired by and in the interests of genocidally racist Apartheid Israel [7, 8]. Professor Jeffrey Sachs addressing the EU Parliament: “So this [Palestine] is a place where Europe could have a big influence. Europe has gone silent about the JCPOA and Iran. Netanyahu’s greatest dream in life is the war between the United States and Iran. He’s not given up, and it’s not impossible that that would come also. And that’s because the US in this regard does not have an independent foreign policy. It is run by Israel. It’s tragic. It’s amazing, by the way. And it could end. Trump may say that he wants foreign policy back. Maybe. I’m hoping that it’s the case” [8].

The carnage has been horrific. Thus in 2015 it was estimated that 32 million Muslims had died from violence, 5 million, and deprivation, 27 million, in 20 countries invaded by the US Alliance since the US Government’s 9/11 false flag atrocity that killed 3,000 innocent Americans [9, 10].

According to eminent human rights lawyer Professor Gillian Triggs the Coalition “is ideologically opposed to human rights” [11]. Labor at least knew that post-WW2 US nuclear terrorism and serial war criminality were wrong, while supporting most of these American crimes against Humanity. In relation to the Gaza Genocide the Coalition declared that it would not enforce International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrants for child-killing Zionist Israeli war criminals Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, foreshadowed quitting the ICC and praised Trump as a “big thinker” over his plan to ethnically cleanse Gaza [12].

Unsurprisingly  the Gaza Genocide is all but ignored in the current Australian election campaigning in which the key issues are housing affordability and the cost of living. The sad reality is that while most Australians are affable and friendly they have a “look the other way” culture best summed up by the common rejoinder “I am not a racist but…”.  Mainstream Australians simply don’t want to know about past and continuing atrocities committed by Australia, the US and Apartheid Israel.

Since the Palestinian Breakout from the Gaza Concentration Camp on 7 October 2023 violent Gaza deaths in the first 9 months have totalled 64,260 [13] this translating to 110,670 by the time of the now Israeli-broken Ceasefire on 20 January 2025. Expertly assuming 4 deaths from deprivation (indirect deaths) for every violent (direct death) yields 553,000 Gaza deaths from violence and imposed deprivation by 20 January 2025 [13-19].  Because under-5 infant deaths represent about 70% of avoidable deaths from deprivation in impoverished countries  [4]  it could be estimated that the 553,000 deaths included 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men [19].

However Western media including Mainstream Australian media massively undercount Gaza deaths by a factor of 10, largely by  ignoring deaths from imposed deprivation [20-25]. Thus Mainstream media presently report about 50,000 Gaza deaths in a continuing process of racist genocide ignoring, genocide denial, holocaust ignoring and holocaust denial. Of course genocide ignoring and holocaust ignoring are far, far worse than repugnant genocide denial and holocaust denial because the latter can at least permit public refutation and public debate (subject to Western gate-keepers of course). 

I have conducted an experiment to expose this Orwellian Mainstream ignoring of reality – exposing what Mainstream media do not want their readers to see, know about or think about. Over the last 19 months of the Gaza Massacre I have individually addressed  scores of carefully researched and composed Letters about the Gaza Genocide to the editors of about 10 major Australian Mainstream media (MSM) [26, 27]. All but a mere several of these Letters have been rejected and the realities I exposed have simply not been otherwise reported. A sample of such Letters sent in April 2025 are reproduced below

16 April 2025. Housing availability and affordability is a major Australian election issue but the near-total homelessness of 1.7 million surviving Gazans is ignored.  Australian voters: safe shelter is a basic  human right. Labor and Coalition neoliberalism comprehensively fails to address the housing crisis: half the population rent and are excluded from the property market, and 112,000 are homeless. Further, each year about 100,000 women report domestic violence, 18,000 are rendered homeless by violence and about 50 are killed by a partner. In stark contrast, the Greens offer humane rent control and affordable housing supply solutions. Likewise Labor and the Coalition fervently support Apartheid Israel, are  complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. Nearly all the surviving 1.7 million Gazans are homeless and 40,000 West Bank Palestinians have been rendered homeless in the last year by Zionist Israeli violence. By 20 January 2025 about 553,000 Gazans, mostly women and children, were killed by violence and deprivation (23% of the pre-war Gaza population of 2.4 million). The Greens demand an immediate end to the Gaza Genocide and the illegal Occupation. Decent Australians will vote topmost for the Greens and like-minded Socialist, Australia’s Voice and Muslim Votes Matter-approved candidates, put the utterly appalling and International Criminal Court-rejecting  Coalition last and Labor in between.  

14 April 2025. “Children killed per year”:  304,000 (Gaza) versus 250,000 (Jewish children killed by Nazis in WW2. Words fail in describing the sheer horror and evil of the US-backed and Australia-complicit Gaza Genocide by Apartheid Israel. Indeed the taxpayer-funded ABC prohibits use of the words “genocide” and “apartheid” to describe this ongoing atrocity. However quantitative  assessments can be made. Thus, (1) By 20 January 2025 Gaza deaths from violence (110,000) and deprivation (440,000) totalled about 553,000 (The Lancet) with this including 393,000 children, 51,000 women and 113,000 men. (2). Before the Gaza Massacre children were 47% of the 2.4 million Gaza population. (3) “Children killed per year”:  304,000 (Gaza) versus 250,000 (Jewish children killed by Nazis in WW2). (4) “Percentage of total pre-war population killed”: 23% (Gaza) versus 59% (captive Jews in WW2) and 28% (Hungarian Jews in WW2, my people). (5) “Child percentage of those killed”: 71% (Gaza) versus 25% (Jews killed in WW2). (6)  “Prisoners killed per day per million of captive population”: 566 (Gaza Concentration Camp) versus 23 (Australian POWs of the Japanese). (7) “Percentage of children sexually abused”: 18% (US and Israel) and 25% (Australia), this exposing an utterly perverted perpetrator mindset. To avoid complicity in genocide and mass paedocide Australian voters must put the Coalition last and Labor second last.

13 April 2025. Australia’s world-leading compulsory and preferential voting system is great for Humanity by holding voters as well as politicians accountable. After the defeat of Nazism 80 years ago many Germans said “We didn’t know”. However in the 2025 Federal elections most Australians (perhaps 60-70%) will vote 1 for the Liberal-National Party Coalition or Labor, parties that fervently support genocidally racist  Apartheid Israel and its murderous  backer, Zionist-perverted, serial war criminal and nuclear terrorist America. The present Labor Government and Coalition Opposition are complicit in the Gaza Genocide in 20 ways and lie for Apartheid Israel in 35 ways. The Coalition is even worse than Labor, praising Trump’s plans for  complete ethnic cleansing of Gaza as “big ideas”,  vowing not to enforce ICC arrest warrants for mass murdering and child-killing Zionist Israeli war criminals, and indeed adumbrating Australia quitting the ICC. Australia’s world-leading compulsory and preferential voting system is great for Humanity by holding voters as well as politicians accountable. It is expertly estimated that as of 20 January 2025 the Australia-complicit and Zionist-imposed Gaza Genocide had been associated with about 0.6 million Palestinians killed by  violence and imposed deprivation, mostly children (The Lancet). Come 3 May 2025 most Australians will have cursed themselves forever by complicity in this unforgivable atrocity reported daily and graphically by the TV news.  

12 April 2025. US Mainstream media  lie for the American Establishment and US-beholden Western Mainstream media follow suit.  As revealed in “Manufacturing Consent” by famed  American scholars Professors Noam Chomsky and Edward S. Herman, US Mainstream media  lie for the American Establishment and US-beholden Western Mainstream media follow suit. Thus on 9 April 2025 World billionaires (902 American) made $300 billion by Trump-enabled insider-trading, the largest one-day gain in the history of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. As revealed by famed Australian writer Peter Carey, Australian journalists know to stick to the official narrative or be punished. It has been my obligation and honour as an Australian to have defended in writing (but necessarily published overseas) some 40 wonderful Australian writers persecuted for truth-telling from Wilfred Burchett to Mary Kostakidis. Our precious democracy must be properly informed but it seems generally conceded (but not by me) that commercial media bosses have the right to erase expertly-established truths e.g. 0.6 million Gaza dead from violence and deprivation (The Lancet), that “emissions-free nuclear” is a lie,  and that “journalists killed per year per million of population” is presently 70 (Gaza) versus 0.008 (the World average). However the taxpayer-funded ABC is legally obliged to report truthfully to Australians – it should sack lying, racist and traitorous internal ABC censors.

11 April 2025. Under nuclear-armed US-allied Labor or Coalition Australia with 0.3% of the world’s population has annual Domestic plus Exported greenhouse gas emissions that are 5.4% of the World’s total.  Stephen Hawking: “We see great peril if governments and societies do not take action now to render nuclear weapons obsolete and to prevent further climate change”. Australian Julian Cribb on what Humanity including Australia must do for future generations: “End all use of fossil fuels as fast as possible…Immediately ban all nuclear and weapons of mass destruction and destroy their infrastructure”. However under nuclear-armed US-allied Labor or Coalition Australia with 0.3% of the world’s population has annual Domestic plus Exported greenhouse gas emissions that are 5.4% of the World’s total. A scientist, I wear a badge saying “300 ppm CO2” (what the atmospheric CO2 should be for a safe planet) but the Trump-threatened US NOAA reports that the atmosphere has reached 427 ppm CO2. Decent Australians who love their children, grandchildren and future generations will put the anti-science and climate criminal Coalition last, vote topmost for the pro-Planet Greens and like-minded candidates, and put unprincipled and disingenuous Labor in between. I also wear a badge saying “Free Palestine” but lying, terracidal and paedophobic Labor and Coalition are also unforgivably complicit in the Gaza Genocide (The Lancet: 0.6 million killed by violence and deprivation, mostly children).

10 April 2025. The Coalition assertion of  “emissions-free nuclear” is false because it ignores massive attendant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a Carbon Economy. Our precious democracy should be properly informed, especially about the existential threat to Humanity from climate change. Instead in the Climate Wars we suffered a barrage of outright falsehoods from powerful, climate change denialist vested interests including  false assertions of “clean coal” and “clean gas”. Presently, the Coalition assertion of  “emissions-free nuclear” is false because it ignores massive attendant greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in a Carbon Economy from mining, transporting and enriching uranium ores, safely storing radioactive waste, and building, maintaining and ultimately dismantling hugely expensive nuclear power plants. Indeed using publicly available data one can conservatively estimate that the $600 billion cost of implementing  the Coalition’s nuclear plan  translates to emission of 65 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. To paraphrase Elon Musk in another context: “Dumber than a sack of bricks”. In science there is zero tolerance for falsehood. Humanity- and science-informed Australian voters  will put the Coalition last.

9 April 2025. The Coalition is deeply complicit in the Gaza Genocide (0.6 million killed through violence and deprivation). The core ethos of Humanity involves Kindness and Truth but this has been grossly violated by the pro-war and anti-science Coalition for all of my 63 years of adult life. Thus killing people is the ultimate in Unkindness and the Coalition supported all the 1950 onwards US Asian wars (atrocities associated with 40 million Asian deaths from violence and deprivation). Presently the Coalition is deeply complicit in the Gaza Genocide (0.6 million killed through violence and deprivation, as estimated from data published in The Lancet by expert epidemiologists) and particularly by refusal to enforce International Criminal Court (ICC)-issued war crimes arrest warrants for Zionist Israeli war criminals Netanyahu and Gallant. The Coalition is anti-science and hence pro-lying  by effective climate change denialism through supporting dirty, deadly, greenhouse gas (GHG)-polluting  and  non-renewable coal, gas and nuclear. Just one example: the Coalition assertion of  “emissions-free nuclear” is false because it ignores massive attendant GHG emissions in a Carbon Economy from mining, transporting and enriching uranium ores, safely storing radioactive waste, and building, maintaining and ultimately dismantling hugely expensive nuclear power plants (as a scientist I routinely and safely used radioactive materials for 4 decades).  

Final comments and conclusions.

Kindness and Truth represent the core ethos of Humanity and in Science there is zero tolerance for lying. However as famously stated by anti-racist Jewish American journalist I.F. Stone: “Governments lie” [26]. Western Mainstream media (MSM) and politicians lie by omission and commission [26]. As exampled above, Australian Mainstream journalist, politician, academic and commentariat presstitutes relentlessly lie. The above examples reveal what US- and Zionist-subverted Australian Mainstream media don’t want their readers to see, know about or think about.  The bigger the threat to Humanity  – whether the existential threats from nuclear weapons and climate change or the present horrifying ethnic cleansing of Gaza while the World looks on –   the more assiduous is the lying by omission and commission by Mainstream media and politician presstitutes.

Bestriding this mountain  of Unkindness and Untruth  are the  genocidal war criminals and pathological liars Trump and Netanyahu. Zionist-perverted Trump is now savaging the pinnacle of American civilization represented by its world-leading universities. It is feared that the massive defunding of great institutions like Harvard and Columbia by these mendacious and war criminal psychopaths will benefit the institutions of the genocidally racist Christian Zionist Far Right. Americans must throw off the deadly shackles of Zionist perversion. In the forthcoming Federal elections in US lackey and Zionist-perverted Australia decent voters appalled by the Australia-complicit and US-backed Gaza Genocide will reject Labor and the Coalition – they will vote foremost for the humane and truth-telling Greens and like-minded pro-human rights Socialist, Australia’s Voice and Muslim Votes Matter-approved candidates, put the utterly appalling and International Criminal Court-rejecting  Coalition last and cowardly Labor in between.
