What happens when one AUKUS member is supporting Russia when the other two members are supporting Ukraine? Is that enough to cancel the deal, or does Australia now support Russia like the US?

Strangely Australia's closest ally and benefactor of 50+ military bases here is now supporting Russia What does this mean for AUKUS now that 2 members support Ukraine and the other supports Russia? Is Australia supporting the US and as such Russia through intel from Pine Gap?

Google says it needs gas to power big AI data centres
Renewable energy and batteries alone do not provide the reliability operators need, the tech giant says, as it searches for potential sites to build a data centre in Australia.

Netflix is laying off 1,000 workers — its largest layoff ever. In 2025, Netflix had a net income of $11 billion (up 26%). Its CEO was paid $53M (255x more than the median employee). And it just raised prices for the second time in just over a year. Corporate greed in a nutshell.

It is imperative that our survival be disconnected from employment and connected instead to citizenship, or even better, a basic human right to existence. The arrangement we have of dependence on finding an employer to sponsor our survival cannot and should not be considered by anyone as being just.

Yesterday I suspended parliament to demand the Albanese government call Israel’s depravity in Gaza for what it really is - a genocide. Australia must expel the Israeli ambassador, end the two way arms trade, sanction Israel, and pass the Red Lines Package.

"Money's greatest luxury is agency. It allows a person to leave, repair, replace, refuse, seek another opinion and respond to their own life." – Rebecca reflects on Anti-Poverty Week for @powertopersuade.bsky.social FULL ARTICLE: www.powertopersuade.org.au/blog/anthony...
I do not want government to give me a beautiful life. Parts of my life are already beautiful. I want enough money to participate in the life I already have.

More than anything, I want the return of choice. Most people exercise it dozens of times a day without noticing. When it disappears, you notice its absence everywhere. You make do. You wait. You wear it again. You stay where you are. You receive what is offered and say thank you because you are thankful. But gratitude is not agency, and survival is not living.

I am not asking Anthony Albanese to remember poverty sentimentally. I am asking him to remember it politically. Look at the people living on the payments and in the housing that once made his future possible. Look at our shoes. Look at our teeth. Look at the food we eat when nobody is watching.

Good government changed Anthony Albanese's life. I believe him. The question is whether people like us are still considered worth enough good government to change ours.
