In a serious rebuke, the Information Commissioner has found that a Defence Department decision to keep info secret did “not appear to be supported by cogent reasoning or evidence”. The same can be said of many of its procurement decisions🤦‍♂️. #FOI #AUKUS #auspol
FOI win as Information Commissioner rebukes Defence secrecy - Michael West
After more than four years, the Information Commissioner has compelled the Defence Dept. to hand over information sought about expert advice.

A realistic interpretation of our #submarine #AUKUS capabilities. We don’t want it, we don’t need it, so when are we going to have a government who cans it? #auspol - https://x.com/MsWyuna/status/1934165035011752093

Israel said they attacked Iran because it was building nuclear weapons - and Australia, UK, France and others have justified Israel’s actions because of this.

What's with that weird genocidal ethnostate that keeps mass-murdering civilians and expanding its borders into all its neighbouring states and if you talk about it you lose your job (or, in the US, end up disappeared into a concentration camp)?

They won't be back in Federal Government almost certainly for 3 years, probably for 6 year, possibly for 9 years

Do we support International Law or don’t we?

Never in my voting life have I seen an ALP Govt so compromised, cruel and incompetent.

Israel’s PM is a fugitive war criminal, who acts with impunity, & lies as innocents die.

Silence & inaction is complicity.
