Penny Wong, 2003: "I say suspicion is not enough. To justify going to war we need more than suspicion. What sort of world would we live in if suspicion alone was justification for participation in unilateral military action outside the auspices of the UN? "

Netanyahu has spent the better part of two decades trying to strong arm the United States into an unprovoked war against Iran and finally found a president stupid enough to do it for him. Unbelievable.

The US has just struck Iran. Without a clear warning, without reasonable grounds for a justified war, Without Iran striking first the US government has joined this war initiated by the Zionist government against the people of the Middle East. CALL OFF AUKUS NOW!!! #aukus #auspol #ukpol

An evacuation from Tindel , Pine Gap, Darwin, Townsville and every other RAF base with US military personnel is the only military aided evacuation that should require ADF support. Australia needs to seek other stable and trustworthy allies. The US is not. #Auspol #NoUSWars

No, the Iraq war was nothing like this. There was a case made in public over many months, coordination with allies, a military buildup, and strategic goals. It was not one demented lunatic arguing with himself on TV over 5 days.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
