The system is not broken. It works perfectly fine for the people who built it - the wealthy and powerful. #auspol

Defence Minister Richard Marles is oblivious to that which is obvious to everybody else: Britain cannot deliver our future #AUKUS subs on schedule (if at all). Luckily for Richard, it’s only our money and national security that’s at stake. #auspol

Why Britain cannot deliver SSN-AUKUS on schedule
Britain says SSN-AUKUS remains on track. But its shipyards are already stretched while new reactor and workforce capacity is still being built. Australia is betting heavily on that gap being closed in...

Australia … listening? If you’re not focused on ensuring you break up ideological big parties and politicians and start focussing on community independents with solutions, you leave a body politic in place that will continue to betray us all We need deep reform with clear goals like this

Did you know that 83% of Australia’s gas is used for exports? Australia Institute research shows that over the past 5 years the Australian government has allowed the export of enough gas to supply Australia for more than 20 years? A 25% tax on gas exports could end the gas shortages. #auspol

Still so little information from the Albanese Government over what data they are planning to hand over to Trump. Every level of this Government is just addicted to secrecy. This agreement will cover our information, surely the public should know about negotiations.

Please share. This might be the most important legislation this year. I'm holding my breath for this. Labor and the Coalition rejected the proposal. So, the bills will undergo second reading debate, after parliament resumes on 12 October 2026.

This is why fuel prices are pushing $3 a litre. Because Trump has no idea how to end the war he (and Netanyahu) started with Iran. That’s the war that Labor, the Coalition and One Nation all cheered on in February. It’s the war the Greens opposed. The only party that did.

Watching the Yanks desperately trying to get the vote out for the mid-terms and advising folks of their rights as voters - makes me SO grateful for the AEC. Tweaks I'd make - four year terms and fixed election date. Stop the endless media fixation and political opportunism.

I'm afraid the "small target" method has been etched into Albanese's and many Labor MPs psyche. It's worked to get them to power and keep them in power. Like the Titanic, I don't think they are capable of changing course even should they perceive the ON threat. #auspol
