Barnaby defecting means One Nation now has 5 parliamentarians which entitles it to minority party status & therefore more resources such as additional offices, postage, international travel benefits, more staffers + potentially a party room at APH #auspol

When two of Australia’s longest running political parasites join forces, it’s all about stuffing THEIR pockets…not yours.
When Barnaby Joyce sold his soul to the devil and jumped into bed with Hanson…she pocketed a 42.5% pay rise.
Guess Joyce will now be Deputy Dawg of Hanson’s Halfwits

This article points out the U.S says it will not make their AUKUS review public,
But somehow expects Australia's defence minister to make it public for them. 🤦

The "it's within the rules" argument is as pugilistic as it is hollow. The rules are broken. The rules should be fixed.

A pox on both their houses.

Why is MSM/ABC unable to highlight the underlying reasons for 000 failures? - in that this essential service has been privatised - so profit has been prioritised over care - & politicians are then either lobbied or donated to so required regulations are not put in place #auspol

The nation that experienced a genocide last century
enables another today.

Chancellor Merz, whatever happened to 'never again'?
"After removing restrictions on weapons exports.. Germanys signed the largest weapons export deal in Israels history"

The point of the 'ceasefire'. Not to stop genocide but to allow countries to more easily resist calls to put pressure on Israel & reverse actions already taken
