The rest of the world is shocked at what fools Australia's political elite are.

Ha, you’re a pathetic hack mate. Wtf have you actually done to advance this country in any way? Spread your propaganda on X, the crew on here are not so gullible as to believe anything that comes out of your hole. You’re a joke, nothing more than spittle from a junkies lip.

Shocking 😮

I fear Australia will be a much worse place for future our generations.

The ceding of our sovereignty by the Albanese ALP govt to the US & use of our soil to host US bases which bomb other sovereign nations is a treason that I never thought possible.

It was started by Morrison Albo just following to kero the right faction of the ALP happy.

To be fair, we've been under American control since WW2.

We were shared with the British. They were the ones using atomic weapons in Central Australia.
I’ve heard the stories from those blinded and burned by the blast.

The oligarchs in Australia want the same thing. Gina having lunch with Australia’s biggest racist. Will be a donation I guarantee to her party to spread more lies and hatred. Australia is asleep at the wheel

Gina Rinehart’s “Blueprint for Australia” is already being put into place in NT and QLD. Her man Peter Dutton will do her budding if elected 2025 Fed election. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/aug/23/gina-rinehart-news-corp-bush-summit-speech-townsville-ntwnfb

Nepo heiress says listen to me because the people I pay say I’m important and my opinion matters

Wealth used to gain power on full view.

Nailed it, wonder how much she pays Pantsdown for lunch in Thailand? Certainly slumming it for one of the richest women in the world. Birds of a feather, sadly.

Every PM since World war 2 has backed the US alliance .
I don’t like Aukus . You know the history
Still can’t believe you suggested that Australia sold the drone to Israel that killed an Aid worker.
What happened to the Shoebridge of the Lee Rhiannon days.
Sold his soul to a career in populism😢

Trump, the incoming President, has threatened Canada, Mexico, Panama, Denmark and Greenland. Why are we still backing the U.S alliance? The world has changed since WW2

It was ever thus. Whitlam found out the hard way that it was a bad idea to ask pointed questions about Pine Gap.

I don't have a strong opinion on AUKUS, because I am not an expert submariner. But the idea that we should believe something is true because it's a headline in france is intellectually bankrupt, David.

rotplanet.bsky.social•45 days ago

its not a headline here in Oz. but its a laughing stock ON the Australian TAX payer. maybe you should HAVE an opinion?

austingmackell.bsky.social•45 days ago

Lots of issues to keep abreast of. Lots of things that need changing. I wouldn't start with defence procurement. No one's ever given me a convincing argument as to why this is the most important thing happening, or why it's definitely the wrong choice.

rotplanet.bsky.social•45 days ago

ok.
1. defence procurement. cut to the chase - about all programs run to 25%-50% over cost. x $350 billion dollars?
are you happy with that?

austingmackell.bsky.social•45 days ago

No.

sallylawry.bsky.social•46 days ago

He is one of the most disingenuous and opportunistic politicians in the history of the Greens. Used to be so good.
Now just a careerist and morally bankrupt. Tragic

@davidshoebridge.bsky.social would you be able to link the article please?

Trump doesn’t have to threaten to buy Australia. We are already in the back pocket.

musodave.bsky.social•46 days ago

Trump talking about canvassing Canada. A close ally to Australia. I guess he doesn’t need to attack us, he’s already got us and we are paying him protection money at the same time.

markteepee52.bsky.social•46 days ago

The French have a vested interest from the past but they are still correct. I can't believe how very inept or very controlled we are, maybe both. Our wealth is finite especially with China looking elsewhere because of our US alliance. Time for a decision on our market alliances, not with the US.
