"These submarines will lock us into the warlike activities of nuclear weapon states. "It is a complete repudiation of decades of Australian anti-nuclear weapons policy." - The Hon. Doug Cameron, former Senator for NSW #auspol Doug Cameron

🚨BREAKING: Trump’s FCC pick just said local TV stations should “decide what the American people think.” That’s regime. They fired Kimmel. Fired Colbert. Gave Trump $31M. Now they want the power to control speech at the station level. This is fascism wearing a suit.

“It is truly extraordinary that of the three countries that are party to the deal, Australia – which bears the brunt of the cost & risk – is the only one not to have put AUKUS to a genuine review." Join the call for an AUKUS inquiry: theaus.in/AUKUS_inquiry

Santos’ gas plant 7k from Darwin has been leaking massive quantities of methane for 30 years. It took the ECNT, ABC and crossbench to reveal a mess ignored by the NTEPA, CSIRO, Clean Energy Regulator and NOPSEMA for years, and to hold Santos to account. abc.net.au/news/2025-09-2…

#AUKUS is under US Govt review, but analysis indicates US shipyards can’t deliver Virginia class subs even if the project continues. Yet #FOI reveals Chief of Navy Australia hasn’t been briefed on potential outcomes of the US review and Defence Australia has no plan B. 🤷‍♂️ 1/2 #exposed #auspol

Richard Marles must explain why we are sacrificing our sovereignty and exposing our communities as nuclear targets by integrating with a dysfunctional, divided USA. Trump and Hegseth are irrational and dangerous. Warmongering does not deliver peace. AUKUS does not make us safe!

It won’t happen. The #AUKUS sub deal is a $368B illusion that won’t deliver Australia the expected capability. All the while it’s draining much needed funding for other Defence capabilities, leaving us in a perilous national security situation.👂👇 #auspol 2gb.com/wont-happen-fo…

One might have thought that given the fact Israel has killed 278 Palestinian journalists, many of them targeted deliberately, the least the Press Club could do was to provide a forum for a brave advocate for journalistic freedom and inquiry in what have been hellish conditions /3

If these embarrassing gambling regulators & bureaucrats up in Darwin won’t even talk to 4 Corners, the Senate should drag them before a committee and give them the rounds of the kitchen. Albo is the person ultimately protecting this toxic industry nationally. A total disgrace.

I came back today. I thought I had known despair before, but what I saw today is beyond despair. It is not grief, nor horror, nor pain. It is something colder, a stillness where even God seems to have withdrawn His hand. The sky was impossibly blue. The kind of blue that mocks

Australia has an opportunity to reconsider its involvement in AUKUS. "It’s the biggest transfer of Australian sovereign wealth in our history, and it's had no democratic accountability whatsoever." - International & Security Affairs Director Dr Emma Shortis #auspol

.Anthony Albanese is sending billions to US & UK shipyards for #AUKUS and then can’t find money to support the core science necessary for future industry innovation, protection of the environment and improved quality of life. He’s short-changing our future. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

A message to Washington: it seems the electorate agrees with AUKUS critics not AUKUS defenders. In short, the deal stinks.

The journalists who cover the Pentagon had to choose today between signing a pledge that would make it impossible to do independent journalism and turning in their Pentagon press badges. Almost all of them turned in their badges and left the building.

Nothing about the meeting changed this earlier view. Trump guaranteeing submarines soon means nothing. Trump and Albo will be long gone when it officially falls over. Meanwhile our great ally keeps murdering people and applying febrile economic coersion at the MAGA mob's whim.

The public bonhomie and announcements on AUKUS requires the media to examine, critically analyse and test what secret commitments have been given by Australia to join the USA in war against China. I would have expected Albo to defend Ambassador Rudd not ignore Trump’s bullshit!

Trump has given #AUKUS the OK. Why wouldn’t he; it’s the deal of the century for the US. For Australia, it’s a huge national security blunder that’ll see a slide in our defence capabilities and even greater reliance on the US, which we’ll pay for. #auspol michaelwest.com.au/aukus-deal-of-…

The duopoly just joined forces in the Senate to vote down an #AUKUS inquiry. Never mind the political, technical & management risks associated with the program, or the $365B price tag - the two major parties are happy sleepwalking with your national security and money. #auspol

🚨IF YOU’RE ALERT, YOU’RE ALARMED🚨 Australia is sacrificing its own defence, as it becomes an annex of the US defence force. ▪️Buying US subs for the China attack. ▪️Neglecting F-35s for our own continental defence. ▪️Cancelling our own defence surveillance satellite, to
