The ‘problem’ in selecting a nuclear waste site in the past was that community consultation/support was required. That’s no longer the case. The Australian Naval Nuclear Power Safety Act 2024 allows the Defence Minister to designate an #AUKUS waste site at the stoke of a pen. #auspol

‘Merit based appointments’ is really code for straight, white blokes, isn’t it? And in this country you can chuck in ‘private school educated’ for good measure.

You can’t waste your vote in Australia, thanks to the genius of preferential voting. It’s what helps set our voting system apart from the US and the UK. @richarddenniss.bsky.social explains how it works. 👇

Our Deputy PM handed over $800m to the US for a dodgy submarine deal that: - won't deliver - gives up what remains of Australia's sovereignty - makes us less safe, and - Trump has no idea about. #AUKUS is cactus. And the govt needs to stop pretending otherwise. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

It's well past time for our 'government' to make some definitive statements about Israel as a genocidal war criminal. Kick the ambassador out. Being "deeply concerned" is just NOT fucking good enough.

If Trump hasn't picked his energy czar yet, or even if he has, this bloke should be on a rocket straight into the top job. Enough sawdust between his ears to bed a herd of elephants. Ticks all the current boxes @simonahac.bsky.social @profraywills.bsky.social

In the new hard world of Donald Trump, everything is about what a country has to offer. Australia has 2 things the US wants: the Pine Gap spy facility & proximity to China. As Trump upends geopolitics, what happens to 5-Eyes & AUKUS? My new column: www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

For Peter Dutton, the public service is a 'magic pudding' to be cynically raided at election time, rather than an essential support system that millions of Australian veterans, pensioners, families and students rely on every day. #election2025 #auspol

Long, interesting read by John Lyons. 'Defence analyst Hugh White's assessment is blunt: "The sooner we cut our losses and get out of AUKUS the better, and if the Trump administration's scepticism offers a chance to do so, we should grab it." #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02...

Today the Climate Change Authority has come out and said that the Coalition nuclear energy proposal is equivalent to adding ‘two Beetaloo basins’ worth of emissions into the atmosphere. We simply can’t keep looking away from the climate crisis. It’s here and it’s accelerating.

A new report has found direct connections between the climate crisis & rising cost-of-living pressures. Failure to lower emissions now will only aggravate the crisis, with each moment of inaction compounding the pressure on households. #ClimateCrisis #auspol australiainstitute.org.au/post/climate...

NATO can't protect Europe from Russia because the US has defected. The EU can't because UK is no longer a member. The UN can't because of Russia & US. We need a body with Europe + UK but not Russia + US, with existing admin infrastructure. What I'm saying is: arm the Eurovision Song Contest.

Kind of darkly funny that the other story of politics right now is that women are becoming increasingly left-wing while men drive the far-right resurgence.

Why the tech oligarchs aside from Musk sucked up to Trump. Surely the PM has to respond to this rather than do the usual "won't have a running commentary" thing considering Australia is specifically named. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If the proposed laws around mandatory sentences targeting alleged ‘antisemitism’ were targeting all racism and had been around during the Voice debate, we’d have had to build new jails. I’d be feeling pretty unappreciated if I was an Indigenous Australian. #auspol
