In the Commonwealth under Labor and the Coalition, if you are a senior mate, you always fail upwards. Defence Secretary Moriarty has overseen procurement disasters and scandals, the AUKUS debacle and recruitment fails - so next stop Washington of course.

Carrying a gun is not illegal and in fact, many would say it’s the most patriotic thing you can do. What is illegal is executing a man after you’ve taken his gun and he poses no immediate threat. It was murder plain and simple.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

It is unbelievable that Australian taxpayers are paying to send two former Defence Ministers, now weapons industry lobbyists, to the UAE and Saudi Arabia to spruik their clients and arms sales into the region. Unbelievable except it’s business as usual for Labor and the Coalition

At a time when ICE is rounding up 5-year-olds, terrorizing communities and killing American citizens, the last thing we should be doing is increasing its funding.
I will vote NO on the upcoming spending bill to fund Trump's domestic army.

ICE agents arrested a five-year-old preschool boy in Minnesota as he came home from school, then disappeared him and his father to a Texas detention center.
The boy's older brother, a middle schooler, came home 20 minutes later to find his father and brother missing.
