We may well end up, in the 2050’s, with a number of superseded, tactically useless, underwater craft and an economy stripped bare to pay for them. And both our major parties will have got us there.
Look long and carefully at independents in your electorate and mobilise behind them.

This is absolute failure to leave and protect Australia and Australians. Invest our money here in Aussies who will create future industries, jobs & revenue. Coward. Unfit for the job!

There is simply no equivalent, not even close, of this anywhere on the center or far left. There is no ‘both sides’ here, media.

"Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders."

Cracking down on Freedom of Information was Albanese's grab for authoritarianism.

There's nothing good about Albo. There's nothing leftist about Albo.

He wants to grab all power for himself.

Israel's closure of the Rafah border is a deliberate retaliation tied to delays in the return of deceased hostages.

And as such, it constitutes collective punishment against a civilian population - a war crime under international law.

It’s great to see the cross bench coming out early and with strength opposing the Govt’s evil #FOI Amendment Bill. Here’s @helenhainesindi.bsky.social’s amendment killing off the ability of the Govt to charge FOI applications fees and for officials to summarily dismiss FOI requests. #auspol

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , your mates, the most moral army, who apparently have the right of "self defence" (which at law, they don't ) are continuing their genocide of the Palestinian people.

You sure chose the wrong hill to die on mate.
