I'm convinced they'll both be ineffective, but that's 6 staff x two!
Dog, Australia knows how to throw money away on NOTHING 😡🤬
Where does all this money come from (other than us!).
Where do 28 million tax payers get $368B for AUKUS (aka U-SUKA)¿

It looks very much like the National Press Club statement lied about their cancellation of Chris Hedges. His appearance WAS confirmed, and even listed on the website, according to this.
(Hedges believes his talk on Gaza was cancelled following pressure from the pro-Israel lobby):
Statement on Cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National Press Club of Australia  — Australian Friends of Palestine Association
AFOPA is responding to the Statement published on 4 October 2025 by the National Press Club of Australia ( NPC) in relation to their cancellation of Chris Hedges’ confirmed appearance at the National ...

"Commonsense" for Australia would be disbanding the obscenely expensive folly that is AUKUS (aka U-SUKA)!

"I support the Palestinian bid for statehood in part because it will give heart to the ordinary people of the West Bank and Gaza," Sussan Ley told parliament on 19/09/2011. By May 2025 she no longer supported statehood for Palestine. #auspol www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Parliament was told that the Commissioner of the NACC didn't have any duties with the Defence Force. That simply wasn't true.

I asked if the Government would take steps to stop Australians fighting in the IDF while it is perpetrating a genocide

The Minister says he wishes for peace. What??

Chris Hedges, a Pulitzer-winning journalist dropped a blistering Substack post about his cancelled talk. The National Press Club’s response only deepened the mystery, challenging parts of Hedges' story. We’ve got the email receipts between the players.

Same, same: The fact that a vast majority of Australians agree on a wide array of issues and yet our political leaders advance none of them illustrates just how broken our system is. Power has shifted from the majority to a monied-few. How do we win it back?

Proposed changes to Australia’s FOI laws would make a repeat of the disastrous Robodebt coverup more likely, rather than less, our new research shows.

Israel has lost the support of all of the moral world. The Gaza Genocide would not be continuing without the unlimited military backing of USA 😡🤬

When genocide fails – Israel’s strategic folly in Gaza
Genocide is history’s darkest act, meant to erase a people and claim a future. For Israel, this logic has unravelled – not on the battlefield, but in the eyes of an awakened world.

Dutton is using Hastie as a scapegoat for humiliating defeat

As opposition leader it was never his fault when things went wrong. When he was home affairs minister he never admitted blame either, writes Tim Overland.
