Marles must have been crying in his weetbix this morning, on the news the US is reviewing AUKUS through an America First prism. All that glad handing with Hegseth in Singas last week and the country is being shaken down again like an average NATO ally. #auspol

So if AUKUS goes down can we use that cash to solve the housing crisis with some public housing? Or #raisetherate? Or get dental into Medicare? We can use it for so many things that would help people. #Auspol.

It’s not surprising, given its increasing isolationism, that the US is reviewing the AUKUS pact. As I said earlier this year, we should do the same. Nations act in their own best interests. www.theage.com.au/world/north-...

It's time for #Albo to pull the pin on this disastrous deal before the yanks stiff us out of $385 Billion. Or at the very least, launch a Parliamentary inquiry into it. Trump cannot be trusted. #AUKUS has been a disaster from the start. #auspol #aupol #FuckTrump #EndAUKUS

I was all for the AUKUS deal at first. Then I realised that 'AUKUS' was being said. Not 'ORCA'. Immediately changed my mind. As everyone in 2025 knows by now; a Killer Whale on a rampage of revenge in a Jaws knock-off is more reliable than any 'special relationship' with the US of A. #auspol

"Marles says Australia needs to stick to Aukus plans or it will never get submarine capability" WE-DON'T-NEED-NUCLEAR-SUBMARINE-CAPABILITY Certainly not at the expense of housing and health and anything else that costs billions! #auspol

Looking like we have an opportunity to get out of AUKUS with Trump wanting a review. All Albo needs to do is tell Trump to "Sit down Boofhead" at the G7 and we're out. 😀 #AusPol

“the science is clear: no fossil fuel projects can be opened if the world is to avoid catastrophic climate change. “Despite this, a slew of polluting gas projects are either poised to begin operating in Australia, or lie firmly in the sights of industry.” johnmenadue.com/post/2025/06... #auspol

Good on you @albomp.bsky.social telling #NewsCorpse hack Greg Brown to do his job as a journalist and explain complex issues to #auspol polity rather than treat Australians as children #npc

Australia needs to do the same. It especially needs to dump #AUKUS. Australia should not be allied with, and our ADF should not be integrated into the US military while it careens into a fascist dictatorship. #auspol www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...
