Apparently letting a country that gave up nukes be invaded will lead other countries to decide they better have nukes cos they won't believe your promises that they don't need nukes. Who could ever have guessed?

The plunder of our seas by industrial fishing is a monstrosity in which almost everyone unwittingly collaborates. For decades this truth has been deliberately hidden from us. Now at last the consensus is cracking. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I’ve been hearing a lot less of the “we need to join with the United States to defend shared values” argument of late. I wonder why?

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period. This shit is out of control. Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Keating always delivers the clearest message “”AUKUS will be shown for what it always has been: a deal hurriedly scribbled on the back of an envelope by Morrison, along with the vacuous British blowhard Boris Johnson & the confused President Joe Biden," Keating said” www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Dear ABC For the avoidance of any ambiguity or doubt, no one in Australia gives a fiery fuck what Scott Morrison Peter Dutton, Tony Abbott or John Howard have to say about anything. At all. Ever. Cheers The Dilettante

AUKUS must be ‘America first’. Everyone else second. Pretty clear. Only supplicant mugs would keep writing the cheques. Time for a review.

The US is reviewing whether to scrap AUKUS while Australia has just handed them an $800 million AUKUS tribute payment. What a nation of suckers! We’re locked into a $375b deal that our “partner” might walk away from. It’s time for Parlt to launch a full inquiry into this dud deal

Pentagon launches review of US-UK-Australia Aukus security alliance that will stop #AUKUS . Australians should know that Labor PM Albanese signed over $368b for Subs with no clawback clause. This means. Trump gets the money while we get no Submarines. We are led by Idiots ..

AUKUS. Will Labor do a similar review of the AUKUS deal to see if this crock fits the Australia First agenda? Anything cooked up by Scott Morrison & his cohort would need forensic examination, wouldn't it? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06...

Trump has deployed National Guard recruits and Marines to the city, Many on the ground have started to fact-check the president's claims about what's happening by posting videos of peaceful protests, folks handing out water, playing music and dancing.

Important work by @shanerattenbury.bsky.social in the ACT seeking to change the law to fix the outrageous precedent in DP v Bird. This precedent is allowing churches to avoid vicarious liability for the actions of priests who sexually abused kids.

What will it take for Albanese to wake up and ditch the US alliance? Does Trump need to bomb the South Sydney Rabbitohs HQ? Will that do it? Because what’s best for Australia doesn’t seem to move him to change.

This is very strange. It's so clear in the video that the officer looks at her talking to the camera, with her back to him posing no threat whatsoever, aims directly at her and fires.
