Thinking and wondering about people in Europe in the 1930s who watched enablers give in one by one and still resisted.

Anyone know much about these times?

Every single story about AUKUS and how bad it is could have been an opportunity to absolutely smash Dutton over how bad the Libs are on defence.

Instead Albanese and Marles decided - "Hey that Scott Morrison, he's a sharp guy. We should do what he thought was a good idea"

People still tend to think of gas as a vital industry to Australia, but the truth is, if anything, it costs the Australian economy.

Australians herded towards cynicism by the general air of ‘nothing to see here’ from the NACC costing us $140 million so far, and as transparent and briskly free-flowing as a tin can of black molasses.
After 18 months of operation and a cost of $140 million to Australians, the staggeringly incompetent NACC has concluded its top 3 major corruption investigations, and guess what?

It has found no corruption.

The #NACC is a failure and a national embarrassment.

The thing is - the Australian Government should take the 'strongest possible action' with any Country which deliberately harms an Australian citizen - but it doesn't.
It's selective based on the politics of the day - and it shouldn't be. We're all less safe with this approach #auspol

Just released to me under #FOI is a never-before-seen chapter of the Official History of Australian Operations in Timor that was secretly expunged from the history. It tells uncomfortable truths and confirms Howard Govt lies and public deceit. Full story on Michael West Media soon. #auspol

not only does australia send most of the gas it extracts overseas, it uses more gas **just for preparing the other gas for sending elsewhere** than it does for all domestic gas power generation

FACT: The gas industry uses more gas running their own export terminals than Australia's entire manufacturing industry.

"Australia’s east coast appears increasingly likely to have to import gas in the near term, which could increase prices to end users" according to the ACCC.

Fearmongering about a domestic gas shortage...when 80% of Australia's gas is exported overseas.

Make it make sense. #auspol
