A secretive joint committee modelled on the PJCIS ( by far weakest of its type in comparative nations) will not deliver the scrutiny and accountability desperately needed on AUKUS.
This committee won’t address militarism, loss of sovereignty, and a potential war with China.

Trump spends US taxpayers money on military golf courses. We subsidise the US war machine through the crazy $365B AUKUS fiasco.
We build public housing for a US base in Australia while our citizens are homeless.
The political establishment has gone crazy!

Murdoch rag the Australian plunging to new depths of bias, partisanship and stupidity. Features former disgraced Qantas boss Alan Joyce calling for weaker industrial laws, and more power for corporations. Labor should reject this madness and condemn ruthless corporate behaviour.

Hundreds of jobs destroyed at the iconic CSIRO while we subsidise the US and UK military industrial establishments with no guarantee of ever receiving nuclear powered subs designed to attack China, our most important trading partner. Militarism gone mad! Well said Ed Husic 👏

CBA boss Mat Comyn exposes the mindset of too many Australian business “leaders”. That is, shareholders profits come before fairness, decency and morality. Battlers treated with disdain and sacrificed on the altar of profit before people. A disgusting and arrogant performance!

This polemic by Downer shows why Labor will cruise to another win at the next election.
When will conservative commentators understand that defending Trump, apartheid and genocide against Palestinians, and denying global warming are recipes for on going electoral oblivion?

Another example of the failures and dangers of deregulation, privatisation, inadequate oversight and effective registration of providers.
TAFE was sacrificed on the altar of neoliberal greed and ideology. Governments need to prosecute the shonks and increase TAFE funding.

Murdoch rag,”The Australian” compares Bob Carr’s opposition to Israeli apartheid and genocide against Palestinians to the disgusting display of Nazism at NSW parliament.
Bob’s courage, commitment and defence of innocent Palestinians deserves praise not character assassination.

This is what happens when govts abandon their obligation to build a good society, capitulate to “the market” and ignore the principle of housing as a human right.
This is an easy fix. Legislate to outlaw developer apartheid against social tenants and build more public housing.

A dose of reality from Hugh White as he dismantles the arguments for AUKUS and exposes the stupidity of world leaders abandoning dignity and common sense to suck up to Trump.
Confronting China in its backyard while being mute on US nuclear testing is a recipe for disaster.

The media and political establishment softening up the public for cuts to social welfare and tax increases to pay for AUKUS. Paul Kelly foreshadows that Labor “will be shaken to its political foundations” I agree.
We need honesty about the social and economic costs of AUKUS!

The only way to ensure delivery of the AUKUS subs is to pre commit to using them against our most important trading partner China. Have we already given the commitment to surrender our sovereignty and attack China if the US demands it? No politician has addressed this reality.

At last! An Australian reporter does the public a service by exposing the reality of the crazy AUKUS “deal”. Well done Ben Doherty and the Guardian. Insurmountable legislative, technical, and production problems and a future US President bound to put US interests before ours.

Richard Marles is “buoyed” by Trumps words on AUKUS. He places too much faith in a disgusting defender of anarchy, law breaking and political intimidation. He has lost his capacity for critical analysis.
Trump concedes AUKUS is about containing China unlike our politicians!

Marles says “we have a good story to tell” (on our defence relationship) 😂
Signed a one sided unfair shonky deal.
Sacrificed our sovereignty to the USA.
Abandoned our principles on nuclear proliferation.
Became a big nuclear target.
Payed through the nose.
A horror story!

To understand why Australian governments pay homage and surrenders our sovereignty to the USA while acting as a deputy sheriff to US imperialism including the Trump regime, read these excellent books by Prof Clinton Fernandez. Looking forward to reading his latest “Turbulence”.

I disagree.Biden and Trump could have stopped the genocide instead of facilitating it!
The slaughter,destruction of hospitals, schools , homes and infrastructure was only possible with Trump’s supply of US weapons to the disgusting Netanyahu regime.We should not rewrite history.

Keating makes the point that Labor should spend some political capital.
My wish list:
Be brave.
Ditch AUKUS.
Stop worshiping the “market”
Fix CGT and -ve gearing.
Tackle poverty reduction
Housing as a human right.
Establish a modern Housing Commission.
Build public Housing.

Josh Frydenberg calls for “clarity, morality and courage” while writing a piece for the Murdoch press that trashes these principles.
He praises Trump and Rubio, attempts to justify Israeli genocide and attacks Penny Wong’s sensible calls for Israeli restraint.
Immoral claptrap!

A Nobel Peace Prize for Trump🤬
Should be given a jail sentence not an award. He could have stopped Israeli genocide as soon as he was elected. Without Trump’s support the Israeli regime would not have the capacity to continue to commit war crimes.

Surprise, surprise, massive increase in cost for an AUKUS contract. This is the tip of the iceberg as public funds are hoovered up by suppliers, advisors, and various hangers on!
$368b estimated cost looks shaky already.

Well said John!
Hope the Australian Labor cabinet and caucus is listening.
