Please. Australia. Quit. AUKUS.
AUKUS was a Morrison brainfart that has gone too far and has already cost us billions with zero to show for it.
So many ills Australia faces now could be fixed with the money that has been allocated to Morrison’s idiocy.

Can we just admit, that, like everything else that Scott Morrison did, AUKUS is a complete & utter stuff-up?
Can we return to good sense?
Own up & say it’s a pointless, expensive waste of money?
Redirect that $1/2 trillion to education, health, housing, welfare, science, ABC, SBS, CSIRO, NDIS?

Sometimes you just have to giggle. What do you think made me a radical extreme communist? Working as a corporate lawyer? Advising Australia’s biggest companies at BCG? A strategic role at Australia’s then biggest employer, Wesfarmers? The actual radical extreme communists must be horrified! #auspol

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.

The President has granted a full pardon to Ross Ulbricht.
Ulbricht was convicted of conspiracy to commit money laundering, conspiracy to commit computer hacking, conspiracy to traffic narcotics, and engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise (often referred to as the “kingpin charge”).

Elon Musk might be antisemitic, but he's OUR antisemite, so hands off!
We're told that antisemitism is on the rise, but when Donald Trump's highest-profile supporter makes a Nazi salute... crickets.
