To be fair, it can be useful to find out what Morrison, Dutton, Abbott, Howard - and Hockey - are saying about policy issues. Because whatever it is, it's a very reliable guide as to what NOT to do. #AUKUS #auspol

"the Pentagon review should be the catalyst for the government to get on with the job of forging a relevant, distinctly Australian path for the country’s national security, rather than being dragged along on the coat-tails of a fading Atlantic empire." 💥🎯PJK. #AUKUS johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06...

Obscene hypocrisy. Can Albanese and Marles assure us there is no "cooperation" between the Australian and Israeli military? That is, apart from contracts to supply weapons components to Israeli F-35s to enable the bombing of civilians, health workers, aid workers and journalists in Gaza. #auspol

"This is what happens in fascist regimes". But the legacy media - both in the US and Australia - are generally still too cowardly to call the Trump regime what it is.

What is the point of having a 'free press' in the US, if so many editors and journalists are too craven to speak truth to power? Or all too often, act as power's megaphone?

Blaxland tries to 'reassure' us that Trump won't ditch #AUKUS. The more critical question is; why won't Albanese? #auspol theconversation.com/trump-may-tr...

My question for all the Dem's expressing outrage at the treatment of Padilla is, "Yes, and...?" Responding to fascism with the floor speeches and press releases that barely make a dent in a functioning democracy is criminal fecklessness and dereliction of duty.

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

Consumer confidence? Collapsing. Business confidence? Tanking. Vibes? Awful. But the U.S. economy? Still chugging along — for now. The question is how long momentum can outrun fear.

We have lost all contact with our UNRWA colleagues in Gaza, communications have been cut off. This morning, for the first time in months, we did not receive their morning messages to say, "good morning" and "we are fine/alive". We anxiously await to hear from our colleagues.

People may not [yet] see #AUKUS as the costly and dangerous farce that it is. But it's notable that the government's main spruiker of this dodgy deal - Richard Marles - is backed by both Scott Morrison and Joe Hockey. That should be a bigly red flag. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

When Roe was overturned and women bled out in ERs, we heard “states’ rights. When guns became the #1 killer of kids, still “states’ rights.” But one protest against injustice? Suddenly there’s federal boots on the ground. They don’t panic when people die, only when they speak.

Anyone arguing for Australia to indulge Trump's bog-standard toddler narcissism & appease him even more is witless. It's not the Australian PM's job to appease Trump. It's his job to represent the interests of Australia: a crap AUKUS ain't it. www.theage.com.au/politics/fed...

"Whether it's former PM Morrison, the politicians-turned ambassadors to the US (Joe Hockey and Arthur Sinodinos) or former defence ministers Christopher Pyne, Joel Fitzgibbon or Brendan Nelson, the #AUKUS arrangement has brought with it plenty of private business ventures for them all to pursue"

"defence minister Richard Marles has downplayed the Trump administration’s review into the #AUKUS submarines...said it was 'natural' that the US would examine the project" So why hasn't The Perfumed Warlord reviewed this dodgy deal for Australia? #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

As James Elder from UNICEF said recently: "It's deeply disturbing that the daily killing of little boys and girls seems to be something that the world no longer dwells on." And yet the most that western governments will do is token sanctions against two far-right Israeli ministers. #StopIsrael

"The Albanese government has no other submarine plan – #AUKUS is it. Or at least, Aukus was it. The Elbridge review is a circuit breaker. It forces the Albanese govt to address Australia’s submarine needs and capabilities in a considered and disciplined way for the first time in more than 20 years."

The next time Albanese or Marles do a media conference, brownie points to the journo who asks this obvious question: 'The US is reviewing #AUKUS. The UK is reviewing AUKUS. Why aren't you?' #auspol

Richard Marles met Secretary of Defense Hegseth in Feb and gifted US shipyards $800m with billions more to come. Marles met Hegseth again on 31 May. Now it’s revealed there’s an America First review of #AUKUS. Bombshell news. What did Marles know and when did he know it? #FOI sent. #auspol

This was a couple of days ago. But now we know that the US is reviewing #AUKUS, it's the perfect opportunity for us to ditch it, while the Albanese govt saves face. Even better if Albo showed the leadership qualities of Carney, and levelled with us about the need for reduced US dependency. #auspol
