"There’s no money back offer here." "Perhaps now is the time for Albanese to institute a parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS." From International & Security Affairs Advisor Allan Behm writing for the Guardian #auspol

AUKUS is basically Australia paying the US $368 billion to deploy their submarines where they tell us -assuming they can be built. Any opportunity to walk away from this lunacy should be grabbed with both hands.

This is so much bullshit. Morrison is a worthless shit who diminishes our nation. Fuck him and fuck everyone involved in this award. We need to scrap these awards, they’re tarnished forever. #AusPol

Albanese is going to be as hated and despised as this MF, because he let this corrupt, lying, woeful MF get away with the corruption, the lying and the woeful economic vandalism. And get a medal for it. The US had Garland .. we had Albanese’s #NACC #auspol

If one is censured by a nation's Parliament for behaviour officially found to be "corrosive of trust in government", and is referred to an anti-corruption commission for misleading its Cabinet about the "crude and cruel" Robodebt scheme, how is one then eligible for said country's highest honour?

Albanese to put beef on the table in Trump trade talks US beef could be allowed into Australia for the first time in decades through a biosecurity rule review to secure the removal of tariffs as PM Albanese prepares to meet President Donald Trump later this month. #AUKUS level dumb .. 🙄🙄 #auspol

As @albomp.bsky.social @jimchalmers.bsky.social set their sights on ‘productivity’ & ‘deregulation’ this term of parliament (oh, so, so neoliberal) …they turn the other cheek to the Great Australian Gas Heist. A nation rich in resources…and poor in political talent 🤦🏻🤷🏼 #auspol

The gas industry has had higher profit margins than ANY other sector in Australia over the last few years. That's unsurprising when you know how little tax they pay. A THREAD (1/5)

Now the uniparty will push through the pollies perks

I reckon a lot of Australians would rather we kicked the US out of Pine Gap and closed their military bases here, rather than pay them MORE protection money. We've already spent nearly half a $Trillion on #AUKUS. That's money not going to services for our citizens. #auspol

Successive govts have failed to ensure 🇦🇺 gas benefits Australians. The re-elected Albanese Govt risks doing the same. There's enough uncontracted gas to fix the projected shortfall. What’s missing is the guts to stand up to the gas industry. www.afr.com/politics/fed...

The North West Shelf gas extension is an exemplar of Australia’s colonial economic status. Successive governments have let foreign interests strip mine our national wealth while despoiling the environment. Sold-out on every front. #auspol

Murray Watt better get a nice directorship after he leaves office www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The great Australian gas heist! …sanctioned and endorsed by our federal government FFS grow a set @australianlabor.bsky.social #auspol

Would the Australian Institute consider starting CLASS action litigation on behalf of all Australians to get even a megre recompense for the theft of hundreds of billion dollors of taxpayers LNG
