You know if the billionaires can't get to Mars by the time they look like they will die, they will send their DNA so they can be cloned.

Space research is not about us.
It just uses our money.

Just like wars.

Today is a dark day for Jacinta Allan’s Labor Government.

They are ramming through changes that will see life sentences for children - a failed policy imported from the Qld Liberals that will harm children, disproportionately impacting First Nations & children of colour 🧵

#auspol There is no Israeli ceasefire. There is unilateral genocidal murder of a defenceless population. Israeli Lebensraum with 100% Western Democracies participation. Why the fuck are the Israeli's determining our foreign policy over what we fought against in WW2? Stop the Israeli genocide.

How to wave off a problem:

- Commission a review
- Ignore key recommendations
- Don’t enshrine anything in legislation
- Keep giving jobs to the boys 🤙

From the satellite surveillance of Pine Gap to the bomber forward deployment at Tindal, these facilities entangle Australia in conflicts far beyond its shores, compromise its sovereignty, and incur immense strategic risks.

So with the US seemingly about to launch a Special Military Operation in Latin America, has anyone asked our government their position on this?

Is intel from Pine Gap being used for any of these drone strikes?

Are we condemning the murders at sea? Or calling for calm?

NSW Police go out of their way to approve a Neo Nazi rally — then Premier Minns uses the “stuff up” as an excuse for *more* laws restricting free speech. The whole thing stinks of a blatantly obvious stitch-up by vested interests. Pathetic.

So much for the hoped for 'robust discussion' within the labor caucus, or the ALP for that matter. Is there no-one left in this ALP government with actual ethical principles?
"fear within the Labor caucus is leading to silence."

And that silence is leading to very bad policy.

The Silence of the Labor Lambs is just amplifying the voices of gambling, sports and media lobbyists [and so many others] who have successfully captured Albanese and his gutless Cabinet. #auspol
Andrew Wilkie has asked the PM to allow a free vote on banning gambling advertising and it appears many Labor MPs would support it.

Investigation into the murder of World Kitchen Central staff including Zomi Franckom was buried according to this article by Alison Broinowski:
“the incident simply disappeared”. The findings required a military police investigation, but “it never happened”.
