Tommy Thomas' daughter thanks supporters, says Gaza suffering far worse than hers
Hannah sustained the injury during a pro-Palestinian protest outside a manufacturing facility in Sydney that has been accused of supplying technology to the Israeli military.
The injury has left her at risk of permanently losing vision in her right eye.
"What I went through was obviously nothing compared to what people in Gaza are going through because of Israel — children being amputated, undergoing surgery without anaesthetic, having to choose between starving to death or getting shot while queueing for food," she said in a video posted on Instagram today.
Hannah, who previously contested Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's seat of Grayndler as a Greens federal election candidate, said she had taken part in a peaceful protest.
She added that the "draconian" anti-protest laws passed by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns and Minister for Police and Counter-terrorism Yasmin Catley allowed such an incident to take place.
She also expressed gratitude to her supporters, doctors, and paramedics for the care they provided.
Earlier, ABC News reported that she had been charged with hindering or resisting police during the protest.
She was issued a "Future Court Attendance Notice" for allegedly hindering or resisting a police officer and for failing to comply with a direction to disperse.

Australia says it cancelled Kanye West's visa over 'Heil Hitler' song
FILE PHOTO: Rapper Kanye West makes a point as he holds his first rally in support of his presidential bid in North Charleston, South Carolina, U.S. July 19, 2020. REUTERS/Randall Hill/File Photo SYDNEY (Reuters) -Kanye West, also known as Ye, has had his Australian visa cancelled after he released 'Heil Hitler', a song promoting Nazism, the country's home affairs minister said on Wednesday. The U.S. rapper released the song that praised the Nazi leader Adolf Hitler across social media and music streaming platforms in May this year. The song came a few months after West made a string of antisemitic posts on X, which included comments such as "I love Hitler" and "I'm a Nazi". Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said that while previous offensive comments made by West had not affected his visa status, officials 'looked at it again' after the song's release. 'It was a lower level (visa) and the officials still looked at the law and said you're going to have a song and promote that sort of Nazism, we don't need that in Australia," he told national broadcaster ABC on Wednesday. "We have enough problems in this country already without deliberately importing bigotry." Burke added that West had family in Australia and had been a longtime visitor prior to the visa cancellation. The singer married his wife Bianca Censori, an Australian architect, in December 2022. Burke's office declined to comment on the exact date of the visa cancellation. West's management did not respond immediately to a request for comment outside U.S. business hours. In October 2024, U.S. conservative influencer Candace Owens was also barred from entry into Australia. Burke said 'Australia's national interest is best served when Candace Owens is somewhere else'.

Strings of power behind Iran strikes
THE latest Western media coverage has been agog with the Trump administration's use of hard power. This follows the bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan – despite the fact that Iran has never tested a nuclear device, has repeatedly denied pursuing nuclear weapons and US intelligence agencies have assessed that Iran had not made a final decision to build one. The US intervention has been regarded as illegal, unnecessary and foolish by progressive Americans. However, it has drawn the strong support of the mainstream conservative media, with rhapsodic reporting of 'Operation Midnight Hammer', American military might and President Donald Trump's 'brilliant' and far reaching leadership. Not discussed and much less reported is that it was Israel pulling the strings which led to Trump's decision to order the direct military strikes on Iran. This is how Israel was able to get Trump to bend his knees to support Israel: Intense Israeli military campaign: Before the US strikes, Israel had been conducting over a week of military operations against Iran – a country it has viewed as its biggest threat since the establishment of the Islamic government in Iran after 1979. This sustained Israeli pressure softened the ground and created a sense of urgency and inevitability for some sort of joint Israeli-American 'retaliatory' action. Intelligence sharing: Israeli officials and intelligence agencies have been in constant contact with their US counterparts on Middle East developments and would have provided the Trump as well as earlier administrations with detailed assessments of Iran's nuclear programme. These would have emphasised the perceived imminent threat and the limitations of Israeli capabilities to fully neutralise deeply-buried sites. Israel has long argued that only the US possessed the specific bunker-buster bombs (like the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator) and stealth bombers (B-2 Spirit) necessary to destroy the nuclear facilities at Fordow and Natanz. Strategic opportunity argument: Israel was able to convince the Trump administration that its 'Operation Rising Lion' had degraded Iran's air defences to a point where a US strike on the nuclear facilities would not be risky. They framed this as an 'unparalleled opportunity' to permanently set back Iran's nuclear programme and even to precipitate a regime change, with the targeted assassinations of senior Iranian military, and civilian leaders also benefitting American interests. Lobbying by American pro-Israel lawmakers and leaders: Reports indicate that Trump made the calculation to join the conflict 'at the prodding' of many Republican and Democratic party lawmakers and business interests. This suggests direct lobbying and advocacy from the Israeli government and influential Zionist allies within the US political system. Netanyahu as puppet master One person was key to the successful Israeli effort to induce the US to be more engaged in the wars it is currently waging in the Middle East – Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. This is how he orchestrated as the 'puppeteer' that pulled the final string which led to what may well turn out to be a pyrrhic victory for the US and Trump. Decades-long campaign: Netanyahu had advocated for military action against Iran's nuclear programme for over 30 years, using visits to the US to frame Iran as an existential threat to Israel. By the fall of 2024, Netanyahu had already ordered preparations for strikes, including compiling assassination lists for Iranian nuclear scientists and systematically destroying air defences in Syria, Lebanon and Iraq to clear a path for bombing runs. The 2023 Hamas attack and subsequent Israeli counter-strikes neutralised Iran's proxy networks (Hezbollah, Hamas and the Syrian regime), creating a 'unique opportunity' for direct confrontation with a weakened Iran. Leveraging US-Israel alliance: Netanyahu met Trump at the White House in April to align strategies by emphasising Iran's nuclear threat despite US intelligence assessments that Iran had not yet decided to build a weapon. When Trump pursued negotiations with Iran in May and June, Netanyahu undermined them by launching unilateral Israeli strikes on June 13, knowing this would force US involvement. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio initially called these strikes 'unilateral' but Trump later joined after Iran retaliated. Manipulating intelligence and threat perceptions: Israeli officials presented US counterparts with interpretations of Iranian nuclear research as 'alarming'. Netanyahu capitalised on nuanced disagreements between US and Israeli analysts. While both acknowledged Iranian scientists were revisiting weaponisation research, Netanyahu framed this as an imminent threat. Trump eventually dismissed his intelligence director Tulsi Gabbard and adopted Netanyahu's rhetoric, claiming Iran was 'very close' to a bomb. Aftermath for Trump and Netanyahu As puppet master, Netanyahu was able to play on the vanities of Trump and pander to his ego through a combination of flattery and appeal to Trump's desire for legacy-building. He has continued this by praising the US strikes as 'historic' and claimed that they would 'change history'. More important personally for Netanyahu is that the American action has diverted attention from his long-standing corruption trial and Gaza war failures. This, whilst boosting his Likud party in the coming polls, may well ensure his continuation in power. Should that happen, it could positively impact Netanyahu's future and position in Israeli history. Trump, on the other hand, has now put the US in a position of greater risk and vulnerability from potential Iranian retaliation against US forces in the Middle East. He has also provided the larger Muslim world, including countries not aligned with Iran, with a solidarity that cuts across sectarian and political divides. Perhaps the most consequential impact is the religious and ideological framing of the US strike. It will further burnish Iran's narrative that it is a victim of Western aggression, empowering hardliners and ensuring long-term anti-American mobilisation from state and non-state actors, not only in Iran and the Middle East, but also in our part of the world.

Israel urges China to pressure Iran to rein in nuclear ambitions
FILE PHOTO: People walk amidst debris at the Evin prison after Israeli air strikes the previous month, in Tehran, on July 1, 2025. During Israel and Iran's 12-day war, the Islamic Republic's military and nuclear sites were significantly damaged and several top army commanders and atomic scientists were killed. - AFP SHANGHAI: Israel urged China to use its economic and political sway to rein in Iran's military and nuclear ambitions. "China is the only one capable of influencing Iran,' Ravit Baer, Israel's Consul General in Shanghai, told reporters on Tuesday (July 1) in the city. "Iran would collapse if China didn't buy its oil.' Baer's remarks come with Israel-China relations under strain because of the Jewish state's war in Gaza and last month's attacks on Iran, a key Middle Eastern partner of Beijing. During Israel and Iran's 12-day war, the Islamic Republic's military and nuclear sites were significantly damaged and several top army commanders and atomic scientists were killed. The US brokered a ceasefire that began last week, though Tehran's voiced skepticism about the durability of the truce and said it's prepared to retaliate against any renewed aggression from Israel. China and Russia - Iran's main partners among world powers - both condemned Israel's strikes, but did little to support Tehran. Beijing has also consistently called for Israel to end its conflict in Gaza against Hamas and take steps toward a two-state solution for the Palestinians, something Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says would threaten his country's security. China buys around 90 per cent of Iran's oil exports of roughly 1.7 million barrels a day. In addition, Beijing signed a strategic partnership in 2021 outlining US$400 billion of potential Chinese investments over 25 years in Iran. "They can pressure Iran, they have political power over Iran, they can help change its maligned activities in the region,' she said. "There are many things China can do.'i Still, there's little evidence China would be able to sway Iran significantly with regards to military and nuclear strategy. While Tehran has built deeper ties in recent years with Beijing and Moscow, it's always pushed back against the prospect of foreign interference in key policy decisions. Moreover, President Xi Jinping will likely prefer to focus on economic ties when it comes to relations with Iran. "I don't think China is interested in being a mediator' between Israel and Iran, Baer said. "Being a mediator is a big responsibility, requires lots of money and hard decisions.' She added that Israel's relations with China - the Jewish state's biggest trading partner after the US - haven't significantly deteriorated despite the conflicts since 2023. "We're still having good conversations,' she said. "Even if we disagree politically, it doesn't mean you cannot cooperate.' - Bloomberg
