I really don't understand politics. Shut down AUKUS >Australians (ie voters) will champion you! You have more money 2 spend. You spend the tax payer's money PROPERLY. Keep it going: your voters r furious. You waste tax payers' money =less $ 2 spend. Trump loves u. WTH @albomp.bsky.social?! #auspol

For millenia humans believed the earth was the centre of the universe, then science told us that was wrong. Now we know the centre of the universe is actually, apparently, Moira Deeming #auspol www.theage.com.au/politics/vic...

Malcolm Turnbull: “The UK is conducting a review of AUKUS. The US DoD is conducting a review of AUKUS. But Australia, which has the most at stake, has no review. Our Parliament to date has been the least curious and least informed. Time to wake up?” www.theguardian.com/australia-ne....

Hoping if and when #Albo meets with Trump, he doesnt reconfirm #AUKUS which represents $368 billion dollars worth of reasons of what is so very wrong for our country! #Auspol

Liberal Party up to their eyeballs in stink, even on a state level #auspol #victoria #AusVotes #AusLaw #putLNPlast #FuckLNP

Why is the ABC so obsessed with Tasmanians going to an election? Every story has a whinge about Tasmanians having to go to the polls so soon after the last election or 4th time in 7yrs I haven't heard one Tasmanian complain, just the ABC - it's called democracy ABC 🐝 #auspol

Trump’s review of AUKUS is a chance to escape what was always going to be a disastrous deal for Aus. Former PM Malcolm Turnbull called it at our event last year! "I do not believe we will ever get any nuclear submarines... "The deal is so bad. Because we have no agency, no leverage." #auspol

Linda Reynolds doing Linda Reynolds things by being "bitterly disappointed" that the payment to Brittany Higgins was not found to be corrupt What kind of monstrous person would become fixated on a woman who was raped in her office? Reynolds exhibits the very worst of tone deaf Liberals #auspol

So Linda Reynolds is 'bitterly disappointed' there was no corruption in settlement to Brittany Higgins?? A very odd view for a former politician. 'The AG approved the settlement in accordance w departmental advice...& independent external legal advice' #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Bob Carr, Paul Keating and Malcolm Turnbull all think Australia should get out of #Aukus. Scott Morrison and Angus Taylor want to stay glued at the hip to Trump's unhinged regime. Who on Earth could be right? 🤔 #Auspol

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

Fuck you Marles you fascist cocksucker!! #auspol @albomp.bsky.social

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

#AUKUS The US does what Australians have been screaming for: a review of AUKUS! Errrrr………..

$3m is 15 times above the median superannuation balance of Aust people near retirement. #auspol

Marles is a provenly incompetent minister of anything!! #MarlesMustGo @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

Marles is a provenly incompetent minister of anything!! #MarlesMustGo #STOPAUKUS @australianlabor.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social #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

Just swap parties and be done with it, you two ...

“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

How’s that working out for Tasmania @decentral21.bsky.social? #auspol

PM @AlboMP just announced Steven Kennedy as the new Secretary of Prime Minister & Cabinet. You can learn a bit more about Australia's new most senior public servant here. #auspol #auseco www.afr.com/politics/fed...

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
