Australia has an opportunity to get out of AUKUS. We should take it.
We ask the Albanese Government to prioritise Australia's interests and security, and to join the UK and the US Governments in undertaking an independent parliamentary inquiry into AUKUS.

The Greens have much to gain from showing their credentials on safeguarding democracy, making gun laws fit for purpose and not looking for political gain.
The Greens won't support the hate speech Bill in its current form. Good.

The NSW premier’s outrageous rhetoric on peaceful protests sows division in our community. It’s unbecoming of his office | Timothy Roberts
The antisemitic attack in Bondi was an act of hate-fuelled violence. Rushing through regressive laws in such distressing times is poor leadership – and dangerous

This kind of knee jerk reaction solves nothing & sets us back years. I was on the harbour bridge - peaceful & respectful. Minns has got this so wrong - just read the room - 300k+ citizens peacefully asking politicians to do the right thing should not be banned

Can’t help but wonder, with the awful carnage of Bondi, if this would be a good time to look at not only defunding universities as suggested by The Special Envoy, we also look at defunding private religion based schools. Use the money for mandatory lessons in critical thinking

Suppose someone has to pay for aukus submarines!
The big reason electricity cost so much is gas. Gas is the most expensive form of electricity generation (aside from battery) and yet often determines the price.
Tax gas exports, raise $17bn, help compensate households and also fund the transition to zero emissions
