Two things happened in Australia this week that should make all of us stop and think. First — Missiles that Australia ordered from the United States have been diverted “until further notice.” Let that sink in. AUKUS Forum 🇦🇺🇬🇧🇺🇸 See aukusforum.com/aukus-news/f/a…

Some of the reasons the NACC devised to get Scott Morrison off the hook for any responsibility for Robodebt are not just absurd, they're deeply insulting. crikey.com.au/2026/03/11/nac…

The Greens David Shoebridge standing up against our warmonger parties facebook.com/share/v/1BGTes…

At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. It's a dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.

Subsidies to mining companies growing faster than the NDIS, child care, aged care. Australian gov fossil fuel subsidies now at $30,000 every minute of every day. Great piece on Australia Institute's latest research theguardian.com/environment/20…

Another Security Council resolution which undermines peace and security - condemning Iran exercising its right to self defense while saying nothing about the illegal act of aggression against Iran by the US and Israel. I condemn it as illegal and unprincipled.

John Rowsthorne Janet Harris Understand your exasperation re no Robodebt accountability: those of us who campaigned for years for a federal independent commission against corruption are deeply distressed with NACC. No public hearings, no apparent use of coercive powers, a blind/conflicted leadership.

People are doing it tough yet the major parties and One Nation joined to vote it down. What a cop out. The Greens will keep pushing for a tax system that ensures that nurses aren't paying more tax than the corporations shipping off our gas.

"When Gaza’s children were starving, when hospitals were collapsing,...Australia did not speak with moral clarity; Australia spoke with caution. When Gulf allies asked for military assistance...Australia found its voice. ... Canberra was never powerless; it was simply selective."

Thanks @firstdogonthemoon. Black humour in dark time.

At this point can anyone argue that the US are still fit to host the UN, after they kidnapped and murdered two heads of state? Move the HQ elsewhere, you can easily put it in one of the other 3 Duty Stations & disband the permanent SC seats or at the very least their veto power.

BREAKING: Israel just bombed the Lebanese National Public University in Beirut. They murdered the Director of the Faculty of Science, Dr. Hussein Bazzi, and Dr. Murtada Srour. They are not just killing people — they are erasing knowledge and attacking the future of Lebanon.

in the midst of all this violent chaos fomented by the Epsteiners, I want to take a moment to express my unyielding, deep solidarity with Cuba and her steadfast, courageous, beautiful people. They are America's silent victims, languishing under the crushing weight of sanctions,

If the international order functioned as promised, Israel would be under sanctions, excluded from all world events, and an international peacekeeping force would be sent in to police the international recognised borders.

let me get this straight a team will not be playing in the FIFA World Cup because they are currently being bombed by the FIFA Peace Prize winner

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government. We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists. smh.com.au/environment/cl…

If you believe Morrison is not responsible after he pressured everyone to make it happen so he could go on 2GB and boast about cracking down on 'welfare cheats'...well, you believe that eagles talk to you.

Labor has hitched us to war criminals Trump and Netanyahu by joining their illegal war on Iran. It’s embarrassing and degrading for our country, and as always in war, innocent people will pay the highest price. The killing needs to stop and the war must end.

If saying the words from the river to the sea is a violent statement What do you call raping prisoners to death and snipering and staving children? Anthony Albanese

When the Labor party and Coalition rammed through the new secret Defence committee last week they made statements saying it would not reduce any existing oversight. That promise has not even lasted 7 days.
