Indymedia – 17TH of February 2025

Join Alex Whisson for a brand new, solo, episode of the Indymedia Podcast!

Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, has responded to US President Donald Trump’s public announcement of Ethnic Cleansing in Gaza, by refusing to talk about the matter entirely.
During a press conference, Albanese responded to questions regarding Trump’s announcement with “I’m not going to have a running commentary on statements by the President of the United States“.

Refugee Action Coalition Spokesperson, Ian Rintoul, joins the show to discuss Albanese’s deal with Nauru. 3 violent offenders have been allowed to leave Australian prisons and been sent to Nauru where they’ll receive 30 year visas. President of Nauru, David Adeang, said in an online interview: “Australia is trying to send them back to their country but they are not wanted back home, so we accepted them from Australia. They are not Australian and Australia doesn’t want them.”

We also chat about the upcoming Australian Election with tensions rising between candidates: Anthony Albanese & Peter Dutton.

Plus the news the mainstream media didn’t cover.

Join us next week for a new edition of the Indymedia Podcast.
