Last night @davidpocock.bsky.social and I read onto the Hansard an interview by the President of Nauru that the Albanese Government has been desperately trying to keep secret.
It shows Nauru plans to send refugees to places they fled. No wonder the secrecy.

Yesterday saw a fresh escalation in Israel’s illegal assassinations with a missile attack on Beirut. It follows a drone attack on a Palestinian refugee camp and Israel’s continued illegal bombing and occupation of Southern Lebanon.

The ban is bad policy and it's clear not enough has been done to prepare young people and their families about what is about to happen. Where are the education packages and support that were promised? Just telling kids to log off and go touch grass is not going to cut it!

So now Australia will be making F35 fighter jet parts for Saudi Arabia. A country that Amnesty says ignores people’s basic human rights, restricts their freedoms and inflicts severe punishment. The regime also kills dissenters. No one even asked us.

AGAIN we find out that Commissioner Major General Brereton had been involved in undisclosed conflicts of interest. What’s it going to take for the Albanese Government to finally realise his position is untenable??

The fools who sold us $375 billion AUKUS nuclear submarines are now telling us they will cost more, a lot more. Their war plans with China, their surrender to Trump and their back of-the-envelope costings are all super dangerous. Don’t trust them.

Neo Nazis were allowed to protest outside of Parliament on the Government’s watch. That the Minns Labor Govt uses their own failure to justify harsher anti-protest laws is an utter disgrace.

Labor in Britain has announced attacks on rights for asylum seekers - this is all grounded in Australian Labor’s awful and cruel policies here - deportation powers, detention, removing support and deliberate cruelty. michaelwest.com.au/britain-anno...

The Australian Government for the past five years has been pushing weapons sales into the UAE at an astonishing scale. This is the result. Australia tying itself to more appalling war crimes, now in Sudan.

This graph of global solar cell installation shows how the world has already left the Liberal Party behind in the coal dust. The future is renewable, it’s ubiquitous and far cheaper than fossil fuels. If only the sun could donate!

In an Australia first, I used FOI to get the AI chat logs of Australia's top national security bureaucrat.
They show how he used Microsoft Copilot to ghostwrite speeches and messages to colleagues.
This comes as the government looks to push AI use in the public service.

Why is Nauru's president being snuck into Parliament House for secret meetings that we only hear about in a tweet after it has been exposed?
If this deal is so defensible, why won't Labor tell Australians what they're discussing behind closed doors?

How much money do you think a private school linked to Scientology should get from the NSW Government?
In 2022, the Athena school with only 55 students received total Government funding of over a million dollars.
