Penny Wong, 2003: "I say suspicion is not enough. To justify going to war we need more than suspicion. What sort of world would we live in if suspicion alone was justification for participation in unilateral military action outside the auspices of the UN? "

Instead of investing in defence capabilities and equipment that could be used to defend Australia, the Defence budget is being spent on nuclear subs we don’t need and will never arrive anyway. Meanwhile our leaders are happy, drunk on the rhetoric. #auspol
Britain’s support for AUKUS is unwavering - but its capacity to deliver is another matter

Tucker Carlson is trash and protected and promoted the MAGA maniacs for years. And it’s also true that by asking very basic questions he’s exposing those same fuckers because most other reporters are too busy framing a narrative around what Israel says rather than probing what’s actually at stake

The thing about Ben Roberts-Smith is that he knows he did it. That’s what makes each appeal so brazen. He sits in court in the full knowledge that he is a murderer and a war criminal.
