I find it telling our Foreign Minister @senatorwong.bsky.social is prepared to stand on the world stage with a former 'tv personality' who it turns out also happens to be a serial killing psychopath. Apparently without any qualms. I guess being complicit in a GENOCIDE does things to you. #auspol

It’s time we stopped beating around the bush and made it very clear - the global right wing movement that does not support proper action on climate is a threat to the very existence of humanity.

The Liberal Party, National Party and One Nation Party are parts of that threat. #auspol

The White House can go ahead and clear Trump's calendar. The remainder of his term will be filled with acceptance ceremonies as every lobby, corporation, foreign country, and crime syndicate awards Trump their own peace prizes.

What a surprise! Trump, according to Richard Marles is “completely supportive” of AUKUS,
We abandon our sovereignty, sign a one sided dud deal, subsidise the US and UK military industrial establishments, build public housing for US troops, antagonise China.
What a deal for Trump!

MAJOR: The Trump Administration has been caught lying about the D.C. shooting suspect.

The truth: He was vetted by Trump. He had a CIA badge, worked with the CIA in Afghanistan, and granted asylum by Trump in April.

The shooting of two Guardsmen in DC is a tragedy.

It is also EXACTLY what Trump wanted and was waiting for.

No POTUS has ever so premeditated getting our troops shot at for the sake a personal ambition as brutal as it is demagogic, dictatorial, and illegal.

This is on (a) the shooter, (b) Trump.

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.

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
