The terms of reference for the Royal Commission should put aside any doubt: this is an inquiry designed to castigate critics of Israel.

New timetables for the "Big Switch" opening of the Metro Tunnel from 1 February 2026 have finally been published.

"We need to end AUKUS now, before billions more are wasted and the whole thing just unravels between the incoherence and danger of Trump and the inability and decline of the UK."

The Albanese govt's failure to have an open debate on #AUKUS - and the whole US 'alliance' - is criminal. #auspol
AUKUS has tied Australia to a sinking nuclear defence enterprise called the United Kingdom. It’s not just a retired UK Admiral, the UK Audit office has tracked the structural failures for years. But don’t worry, Marles and Meade say it’s “on track” - they are dangerously deluded

The opposition is claiming the social media ban is a failure because kids have bypassed it and also they haven't put in enough mental health funding to support kids.

If only people could have predicted this when the opposition helped along by News Corp pushed hard for a social media ban.

This is how the Oz are reporting the (main??) criticism of Bell: she once made a decision with others on the HIGH COURT about environmental protest law bans (I remember covering those, draconian) that was later CITED by a different court to allow anti genocide protests to go ahead. My god.

Trump has no morality.

The longer that Albanese remains attached to the US ‘alliance’ and #AUKUS, the more of a fool he looks.

But more importantly; the greater is threat to Australian national security. #auspol

Keir Starmer is "reducing Britain to the poodle of the US, as it descends into authoritarianism."
