The Nauru thing should be a massive story, but sadly, barely a mention in the MSM.
Plenty of videos of the Senate from the last two weeks.
None at all of the reading into hansard the translated transcript.
Too damaging for the duopoly, has a "red notice" been placed on it ?

Australia really needs a truly independent climate accountability body. The Climate Change Authority is basically just a pro-government advertising body at the moment, just as much as the dep't of environment is.

Fresh insight into why Labor is refusing to release the AUKUS review. US Undersecretary of Defence Elbridge Colby is backgrounding journalists on the upcoming US National Defence Review, calling Israel an “partner” and Australia “dependent.” That’s how they think. thenightly.com.au/politics/aus...

Labor sat on the “jobs for mates” review for 2 years; they wrecked the NACC; they haven’t introduced whistleblower protection laws despite promises; they’re trying to crater FOI laws; the ANAO missed half its targets bc budget cuts… & they have the nerve to talk about the abuse of transparency laws.

The new National Security Strategy of the U.S. contains some pretty explicit white nationalism:
“We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of
Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”
