Why do I get the feeling that what we are seeing is a potential repeat of Bush/Blair’s “weapon of mass destruction” in 2003? Saddam Hussein was not a good person (duh!) but in any war, it is typically the innocent that suffer the most! Hopefully AU doesn’t get dragged into this inadvertently #auspol

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

This has been a long time coming. Let’s not pretend that much has been America first. For more than 20 years they have enjoyed the hegemony following the disintegration of the USSR and now they are withdrawing from the “rules based order” that they drove/developed. #auspol

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Ok, MT has beef with Scummo (obvs!). But it is more proof that the latter was one of (if not) the most incompetent PM in 🇦🇺 history. He dumped an ongoing sub program for one that tested our sovereignty. And now the unreliable Trump govt is wreaking havoc on our defence capabilities. #auspol

Doesn’t surprise me one bit. The current US administration lacks reliability. If they scrap it, Australia might have dodged a bullet even if it means that we’re back to the drawing board. #auspol

"Australia needs to rethink its relationship with the US. We've done quite well maintaining a wary, non-trusting trade relationship with China. We now need a wary, non-trusting security alliance with the US, if that's even possible." @alankohler.bsky.social www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

And it will be even more important now that Nine’s Lauren Tomasi was shot with a rubber bullet while reporting on the LA protests. PM @albomp.bsky.social will have to tread cautiously but firmly to assert Australia’s sovereignty.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"

Every action the #Trump administration takes make them less and less credible. Their ability to condemn actions of authoritarian regimes diminishes every minute. Will PM @albomp.bsky.social review our relationship with the US given how increasingly unreliable they are becoming.

THREAD: Tony Barry (in 7/6/25 Back-to Back Barries podcast) quoted a poll during the 2025 election showing 12% responding that the US has never been a reliable ally, 61% said they were reliable but no longer so, and 18% said that they are a reliable ally. #auspol …/1 of 10

My next car will be electric - I can say that much. But as if I needed another reason to skip a #Tesla, the new Model Y is probably one of the ugliest cars around. It's as if the designers said "let's make the Y more like the CyberTruck by squaring out the bottom"!

I know I’ve been harping a bit on this, but a journalistic institution that would defend a patently absurd and racist claim such as “Chinese women have small fingers” rather than simply admit error and correct is fundamentally unwell.

Firing on children, women and now diplomats. When a country crosses every red line and the world fails to act, it emboldens the worst regimes on the planet. This is a global disaster. Sanctions, weapons bans, action.

Some of the world’s worst conflicts and suffering today have roots in the actions of previous British governments.
