More and more AUKUS as a defence policy is essentially “our best way to stop being invaded is to keep bribing the USA”

Trump’s invasion of Venezuela should be a wake-up call for Australia.
We can’t keep pretending the US is a rules-based, shared-values ally.
It’s time to rethink who we trust before we go down with the Titanic.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social , are we “all the way with DJT”? Because I think we Australians are going to need a little reassurance from you that this is NOT your idea of a safe alliance either, and that being blu-tacked to a lunatic will not end well for us.
Thanks for your consideration.

A pregnant woman was tragically hit by a car. The Channel Ten news trailer said "a woman and her unborn baby were hit by a car as they were crossing the road". I was surprised at the choice of words. Is women's reproductive rights about to become an election issue in Australia?

Opinion | Melbourne University Press says it shut down Meanjin for "purely financial reasons". Perhaps the university could have used some of its $273 million surplus to safeguard the seminal journal, @catrionamp.bsky.social writes.

We need to tax wealth not work.
Why? Because usually no matter how hard you work, the compound interest on huge wealth grows much faster than your wages + the rich use this passive income to buy all the assets.

The 2008 financial crisis started a massive transfer of wealth from the middle classes to the rich, which has been accelerating for 17 years since.
This is why the economy never recovered. And why ordinary people are getting poorer and poorer.
I made my money betting on this.

What a true leader sounds like, @albomp.bsky.social. Such a pity you don't have it in you.
And undoubtedly, Francesca Albanese, who I'm led to believe was shunned by @senatorwong.bsky.social when visiting Australia, would be a worthy recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. #GazaGenocide #GazaHolocaust

Another $800 million to the US for AUKUS, bringing the total to $1.6 billion sent to the US this year.
This money goes straight into the US military, no strings attached and no clawback.

David is correct: "At moments like this, any nation that believes in international law and common human decency must act."
Shameful that the Australian government does not.

Australia was invited to this Hague group meeting of 30 nations seeking to end the genocide in Gaza, but has chosen not to attend. The Foreign Minister Penny Wong needs to explain to the Australian public why Australia rejected the invitation.
