Hey, Albo. Does our 'shared values' with the US mean you'll be kicking out Somalians from Australia, too? I'll be watching closely to see if any in the cabinet still use this phrase in your pressers. And hoping a plucky journo calls them out, referencing this video. #Auspol

The issue about killing the last 2 survivors is secondary: Trump and Hegseth have ordered *83* murders, not 2.
None of these people were ‘enemy combatants’.
They were suspected drug smugglers until proven to be guilty in a fair trial.
Without that, they were murdered.
That is all.

Seriously, is there actually ever going to be a point at which Australia genuinely distances itself from this rogue nation run by criminals posing as a government? They are disgusting, immoral, and we should have nothing to do with them while they remain such.
Not so much "likened" to a war crime as called out as the war crime it clearly is....and that's if you accept these strikes have anything to do with "war" in the first place as opposed to are simply the US committing murder.

It should be obvious by now that Albo is full of it. Banning social media platforms while not constraining gambling advertising is just another betrayal of expectations and common sense. The majority enjoyed by Labor derives from a panic over Trump lite Dutton, not Labor electoral genius. #auspol

Why our government protects gambling apps but bans TikTok
Australia’s social media restrictions on children were sold as decisive action on harm. But the policy risks becoming symbolic, unenforceable, and ultimately counterproductive.

The Govt bought the land for between $4M and $10M and then sold it back to the seller for $1.27M. It refuses to tell the public (via #FOI) or the Senate (via questions on notice) the purchase price. Maladministration, or something more sinister? #auspol

Last week I produced a video for Guardian Australia on expanded Victoria police search powers in the Melbourne CBD. Days later, I experienced that power first-hand.
I was covering Sunday’s Put Australia First Rally in Melbourne. The area had just become a ‘designated area’ for six months mere hours earlier. The protest had just begun. Stephanie Convery, my colleague, was using the bathroom, and so I was alone and away from protesters, standing just inside Flinders Street station with my video gear. Continue reading...

Interesting that this order predates the shooting of the National Guard in Washington, and Trump’s consequential attempt to ban immigration to US.
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.
