There are three stories about on post-Liberal politics:
* AFR says teals and Liberal moderates chatting
* SMH says One Nation expects more defections/recruits and to eat Nationals
* Daily Tele says Reform Australia will register.
These can't all succeed. The right is disintegrating.

"Terrible, irresponsible pronouncement”: alarm over Trump’s push to resume nuclear testing
As Japan marks 80 years since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, concerns are mounting over a new nuclear arms race with the US and Russia seemingly putting testing back on the table.

We are highly concerned about far-right Zionist groups within our community spreading hate and recruiting children into their violent ideology. These groups are a threat to all of us and should be called out like any racist group. @sarahschwartz.bsky.social joined SBS to condemn this event.

Ever wondered why Govt calls the US subs that’ll operate out of HMAS Stirling a ROTATIONAL FORCE? It’s because from 2034 they’ll likely carry nuclear cruise missiles, and if they were STATIONED here, we’d be in breach of our Treaty of Rarotonga obligations 1/2 #AUKUS #FOI #auspol

There is $1 million budgeted for the legal assistance needed for NACC to properly reconsider the Robodebt referrals - this funding ends in February 2026 and I hope for all of us that means there will be answers and accountability at this time (6+ years after Robodebt ended).

Trump wants Australian data on migrant crime. This will only scapegoat vulnerable people
The Trump administration claims “mass migration” is a threat to “Western civilisation”. But research shows migrants don’t commit crimes at disproportionate rates.

But there can be no pardon for war crimes and they can't exclude themselves from universal jurisdiction.
