I’m going say what everyone is thinking but the govt won’t. Aukus is the dumbest sovereign strategy in the history of Australia. There is no justification for it. It can’t be successful. It comes at too great a cost. No one wants it. #DumpAukus

"Lord Ricketts said Australia should not expect the SSN-AUKUS to arrive on time or budget. 'I think any sensible #defence calculation will be that these things will be more expensive and later than is currently expected,' he said." #news #auspol #Aukus #security www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

I want every MP to start talking about what we can do with the $359Bn we get back when we cancel AUKUS. What’s on your wish list people? #auspol

I whole heartedly believe Australia is inherently a peaceful country at heart. The govt needs to reflect the will of the people and I believe MOST Aussies don’t want AUKUS and don’t want conflict with China or Iran. #AusPol

Kill the AUKUS deal Albo. Or at the very least let Trump think he killed it. It’s a dud. We don’t think, we know. #auspol

If the #US; A) Cancels #AUKUS outright B) Deems it strategically inappropriate to transfer submarines at any time C) Changes the terms of the agreement significantly after “review” There are ZERO provisions for us to get our previous payments refunded. Let that sink in. #AusPol #NoAUKUS

Is it going to hurt the Republicans politically that one of their MAGA extremists has gone on an assassination spree against Democrats? Trump supposedly got political cred for surviving a shooting during the Election. When are pro-gun extremist Republicans going to wear any political consequences?

An executive order by Trump, pressuring pharmaceutical giants to prioritise the US market has left Australia exposed, despite our world-class PBS. How did we let foreign corporate interests hold our health system hostage? theaimn.net/why-protecti...

Everything wrong with Trump supporters in one exchange. What can you even say about these people?

The problem with this is the whole world is now mentally comparing it to military parades in China - and on the basis of images (which people believe more powerfully than any stats), China looks unbeatable, and America pathetic. #NoKingsDay

ABC News Radio (Aust) leads with Trump’s military parade and everyone sang happy birthday to him. No mention of the millions marching against him across the US. The is professional incompetence bordering on ideological propaganda

Owning your fascism while blaming the woke left mob for silencing you in your weekly column is giving Steve Price energy. Parnell Parmesan Cheese McGuinness is a special kind of stupid. Long may she reign. 😂😂 #auspol #qanda #abc730

I'm enjoying all the protest posts, Bluesky is giving a much better picture of how big it's been. Australian media is not giving it much coverage.

Q and A given the chop: good. Next up will hopefully be #Insiders, after this morning's shitshow. Speers allowed Greg Sheridan and Waleed Aly to take over the entire show with their RWNJ bullshit, while Katina Curtis hardly got a word in. Appalling. #AusPol

Can vouch, from Australia, the Trump thing is a toxic brand. No one likes it, no one respects it, no one wants to be near it and absolutely no one is going to go to war for it. #auspol

Trump won't even agree to meet. Kill Aukus now. Let's consult the best national security minds on how to be as independent as possible. We can count on only chaos from Trump's henchfools, not a real protection alliance. Don't deal with white-supremacist, anti-science, anti-women dictators.

It's in Australia's national interest to pretend to want to meet Trump, but where an unfortunate set of scheduling conflicts always seems to prevent it from happening. Wouldn't that be a damn shame.

So many factory roofs waiting to be covered in solar panels. It makes sense to build solar (and batteries) close to where energy is needed: it saves on infrastructure & reduces power loss over distance For those w access to the SMH: www.smh.com.au/environment/... #auspol

One of Labor’s biggest failures in the 47th parliament was its tepid response to gambling reforms. Here’s hoping they grow a spine in the 48th parliament and actually do something meaningful for gambling reform #GamblingReformNow #auspol
