The longer we remain captive to the fruitless AUKUS deal, the longer we spend not doing other things that will actually help secure Australia. Remember, we only get the submarines if the US President agrees that they don't need them. Here's how that's going ⤵️

India plans to add 114 new multirole fighters to airforce in five years. Maybe. And more or less double the number of fighter squadrons to 60. Delhi needs to get a hurry on if any of this is going to happen. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence...

Ppl under 35 have organised their school work, study, social lives and often careers around remote-working tools for a very long time. Dutton’s policy landing with young ppl like a proposal to abolish email in favour of a return to the fax machine. Embarrassing, out of touch, stressful to consider…

America’s most sycophantic fan, its most loyal and automatic friend in every conflict, is not any longer really an ally. If Canada isn’t, how could Australia be? @waterfordjack #auspol

All of these attacks were used by politicians on both sides and basically every media outlet to justify attacks on pro-Palestinian campaigners, pass repressive new laws and criminalise the anti-genocide movement. Now it’s revealed they were all orchestrated by one criminal syndicate

With all this "when will the PM call the election talk" that happens literally for half the government's term, EVERY TERM... ...I really do think federal politics needs to follow the states and just have a fixed election date every four (not three) years! It's just such a waste of air. #AusPol

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️

To give Russia a momentary advantage in the war on Ukraine, Trump has destroyed the basis of the Five Eyes deal (he already wanted Canada out). Any agreement or international org where US plays a central role is now a zombie (NATO, G7, AUKUS, ANZUS etc). www.thelondoneconomi...

I’m quoted on the front page of the Observer today. They are looking back at the effects of the pandemic five years on. I say that it is primarily a story of inequalities. The poorest, disabled, young people have suffered the fallout, but this is easy to overlook www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Thank you!! Not such a good producer today as I pushed a wrong button towards the end. Anyway - moving on. We’ll be back next Sunday - where I’ll probably push wrong buttons again - but the guests & the discussions will be great! 🙌🙌 #SundayShot #auspol

The public really needs to understand this. Every university system in the world rests on public funding, there has never been an alternative model at any time in history. We have universities for literally the same reason that we have roads and armies.

Being a historian, people ask me if I think the US is living through Germany 1933. I answer no, analogies are always imperfect but to me it feels more like Russia 1999: a blatant theft of state assets and liberals in a fugue state, refusing to believe the arc of progress is bending against them.

Zelensky's take-down of Brian Glenn over the suit question is underrated. "Maybe I'll get one after the war. Better than yours. Maybe cheaper." Low-key told the man he overpaid for a cheap suit. Don't argue with comedians. They'll destroy you.
