Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Australia is being urged to reconsider its support for the Israeli government after the top United Nations court ordered the country to take all measures to prevent genocide in Gaza.
Without directly urging Israel to comply with the order, a spokesperson for foreign minister, Penny Wong, said on Saturday: “We note decisions of the ICJ are binding on the parties to a case.”
On Saturday, prime minister Anthony Albanese was asked about the Greens calls to formally intervene at the ICJ on behalf of South Africa’s case and commit to sanctions.
But the ruling, following South Africa’s application for special measures, provides a strong indication that the judges believe there is a credible risk to Palestinians under the 1948 genocide convention, enacted after the mass murder of Jews in the Nazi Holocaust.
Australian Centre for International Justice executive director, Rawan Arraf, told 2GB the federal government could reassess its ties to Israel in light of the ICJ ruling.“Australia also has legal obligations as a state party to the genocide convention and that means it really needs to review all of its economic, political and military ties with the state of Israel,” she said.The Australian Council For International Development urged the government to amplify calls for an immediate and permanent ceasefire in the region.“In more than 100 days of war, the world has witnessed the death of over 25,000 Palestinians in Gaza and 65,000 injured, as well as 1.7 million internally displaced, and the collapse of healthcare, education and welfare systems,” chief executive Marc Purcell said.
Israeli officials have accused the international court of justice of antisemitic bias and expressed dismay that a South African case alleging that the war in Gaza amounts to genocide was not thrown out altogether.
