RW economists respond to rate rise by calling for, Increased GST, cuts to govt spending and increased productivity. No mention of poor management systems, increased company profits, declining business investment, increased executive salaries. Just screw battling Australians 🤬

Long and fascinating article by Jason Koutsoukis in the Saturday Paper. Essential reading for those of us who care about working class Australians and their families. Those who oppose neoliberalism, militarism and sacrificing our sovereignty to the Trump regime.

If Albo genuinely believes that the Indo Pacific should not be a chess board for superpowers he should stop being a pawn of the USA, surrendering our sovereignty to the Trump administration and turning Australia into a forward base for US nuclear weapons and a nuclear target!

The US and UK arms industry, laughing all the way to the bank with $Bs of Aussie dollars. An “optimal pathway” to fleece gullible Australian politicians. We are being treated as mugs. Building infrastructure in the UK and while Aussie battlers can’t get a roof over their head🤬

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

What happens to Australian politicians, public servants and the military when they arrive in the USA? They lose all sense of Australian sovereignty and acquiesce to US hegemony at the expense of our safety. We need real leadership not sycophantic capitulation.

Greg Moriarty bells the cat. AUKUS is not about defending Australia it’s designed to contain, constrain and attack our most important trading partner, China. AUKUS sacrifices sovereignty to US warmongering and entangles us in a war that can’t be won. Labor. has lost the plot!

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Paul Keating calls out the madness that is AUKUS. We need sensible members of the Labor caucus to speak up and support Keating. Malcolm Fraser’s book “Dangerous Allies” preempted the defeat and retreat of the US in a war with China.We are being treated as mugs by the US and UK!

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

IMF urges Aus to cut spending.🤬 Labor could cut spending and increase social services by dumping the AUKUS con job. $368B and hundreds of $Bs to house US troops, store and guard radioactive waste. Social priorities or financial support for the US, UK and Israeli arms industry.

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

The arrogance of Trump Republicans telling us we should “welcome” nuclear armed attack submarines to Australia. Nonsensical word games calling US bases “rotational” can’t hide the fact we have abrogated our sovereignty and US nuclear armed subs will be stationed in Australia.

35225

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

Convoluted answers, jargon and broad based assertions. Marles claims the govt is transparent on AUKUS which has been deepened and augmented🤷‍♂️😂 None the wiser after this mind numbing #7.30 interview. Eternal optimism no substitute for transparency, accountability and honesty

75422

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Not surprised that the Trump regime is “confident” Australia would join the US “in a good fight”. The good fight is to stop AUKUS, engage in diplomacy and stand for peace not war. We need a Labor caucus that stands against warmongering and promotes peace and security.

25927

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Trump prepared to offer bribes to voters, engages in war, attacks allies, dismantles democratic checks and balances and uses his office for personal gain while funding genocide and ethnic cleansing by Israel. Labor continues to pretend we have shared values and funds AUKUS, Why?

57231

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

As the nation starts to question AUKUS we can expect more speeches like Rudd’s defending the indefensible.No mention of engaging in serious diplomacy, no mention of the fact that the US could not defeat the Taliban, Vietnam, Iraq or Iran.The US cannot defeat China!

36925

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Double down with the US says Rudd when discussing China and the US engaging in a war over Taiwan. He asserts we can make sovereign decisions after running the double down line.This is head in the sand nonsense. We should not back the US in a war with China over Taiwan!

64914

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I expected more from Kevin Rudd! Defending the AUKUS disaster that locks us into the control of the US military industrial complex is dangerous and the antithesis of sovereignty or independence. Capitulation to the US arms industry will leave us less secure or independent.

119439

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

The Guardian and Ben Doherty have delivered a must read/ listen expose of how Marles, the ALP and Coalition have allowed the military colonisation of Australia by the Trump regime. This reinforces the importance of the AUKUS Public Inquiry. AUKUS a dangerous, disgusting sellout.

611471

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

A US Admiral flies in to exercise control over what is a US base on Australian soil. AUKUS is a humiliating surrender of sovereignty to Labor’s US masters. Why has caucus allowed Marles to turn our nation into a servile, simpering, servant of Trump and the US military machine? 🤬

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

It is an honour to be part of the team that brought democratic oversight and critical analysis to the AUKUS disaster. Peter and his team of Commissioners have given their time, expertise and commitment for free and have done a great service for the nation. Now for the report!

1014963

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Dr Michael Keating and John Stanford are two eminent Australians who have exposed the dangers of AUKUS. They have congratulated the public inquiry for doing what the government has failed to do- consult, analyse and report! Democracy at work! Well done everyone.👏

18234

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Dr Michael Keating and Jon Stanford exploding the myth that the US will be rotating through HMAS Stirling. It will be a US base with a US Commodore. Sick of Marles/ALP trying to hide the facts from the public. Stanford says it’s a US base and we have no say in what they do.🤬

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Beazely is living in dreamland if he thinks AUKUS will deter China if they believe they are under an existential threat from the USA. Wargaming by the US military is reported to show China cannot be defeated. We need diplomacy not attack class submarines.

78228

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Kim Beazley acknowledging his vested interest in AUKUS. I’m sure he will live up to why his nickname is “Bomber”. Kim is a decent person to deal with however justifying AUKUS expenditure as if we are at war with China is bizarre. He ignores the implications of a war with China.

53512

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

The UK Defence Secretary honestly outlines what AUKUS is about ! AUKUS is a joint initiative to challenge, contain and attack China if deemed necessary. Not one of our politicians have had the honesty or courage to concede what the Brits declare publicly. We are treated as mugs!

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Massive final day of the public funded AUKUS Inquiry. Running sheet attached below.

03522

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

While Marles sucks up to the Trump regime, the AUKUS public inquiry continues to expose the madness of capitulating to a declining, dangerous and unreliable USA. Watch the public funded inquiry that not one Labor minister has the courage to attend. Live on YouTube from 10am today

24924

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

ABC reporting Marles has said Australia wants to integrate more quickly with the US. On what authority does Marles commit our nation to integration with the most dangerous and aggressive nation on earth? What does this mean for our economy and trade with China? Madness!

2316664

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

A good story would be: Public housing for Australians not US troops. Jobs in Australia not the USA and UK. Standing against US hegemony and military expansionism. Creating a defence industry that does not sacrifice our sovereignty Not storing Highly enriched uranium in Australia.

1013063

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Marles claims “we have a good story to tell” as he boasts about spending more on arms than “most other countries”.A good story would be promoting peace not cuddling up to a warmongering USA and capitulating to Trump and Hegseth. AUKUS is a pathetic surrender of sovereignty!

87240

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Briggs describes the UK submarine industry as a swamp that has collapsed. Why can’t our politicians , Labor and Coalition, understand the implications of contracting a failed supplier to “deliver” subs when they themselves are in disarray.

87438

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Peter Briggs delivering a master class on why Australia will never receive the attack class submarines that are costing us at least $368b Peter is the preeminent expert on submarines and is being ignored by the government. AUKUS is a financial, strategic and defence disaster!

1014579

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

Former Rear Admiral Peter Briggs is the first to appear at the Canberra AUKUS hearing. A great 2 days of hearings with many different views to be examined. Todays running sheet attached.

03123

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Two days of AUKUS hearings in Canberra starting today. Live on You Tube from 10.00am. Peter Garrett gave another terrific interview on ABC. Govt ministers and the PM have been invited to put their position but have not been prepared to front up to answer public concerns.

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

So #Insiders credit the Left for forcing a retreat on the refugee intake. I hope this is the start of a return to the parliamentary Left using their influence after a period of muted compliance. Would be great to see a pushback on AUKUS, militarism and neoliberalism.

713551

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

AUKUS advocate Jennifer Parker is again featured in the Murdoch press as an expert academic while ignoring the fact that her private company, Barrier Strategic Advisory, is enmeshed in the arms industry. She has a vested interest in AUKUS. Transparency and context would help!

47756

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

We buy attack class nuclear subs to: Maintain the international rules based order as our “ally” the US attacks the ICC, Protect sea lanes from China our most important trading partner. Defend Australia by surrendering sovereignty and making our cities a nuclear target.🤬

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

If you wonder why the arms industry and gambling industry get bi partisan political support watch #4Corners.The arms and gambling lobby have untold influence.That’s why you get piss weak gambling laws and $368b disasters such as AUKUS. The system sucks and we pay the price!

314058

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 23/08/2026

4 Corners exposes the “revolving door” of former politicians, public servants and military personnel making huge salaries in the arms manufacturing and lobbying industries. Chair of the Joint Defence Committee gets an all expenses paid trip to the US. Nothing to worry about?

821898

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

FFS! a lecture from Cormann, who got his job by using public funds to fly around the world.The guy who gave us the 2017 budget that decimated support for health, education, social services and decency. A leaner not a lifter! Still living a life of privilege on the public purse!

1011056

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

The cost of subjugating our sovereignty and defense capabilities to the US grows day by day.The lame excuses will be thrown out like flares to divert missiles. Paying to repair US F35s is an example of the cost of bad decisions, like AUKUS ! Subservience to the US is costly.

46433

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

A fleeting expression of “rage” from Labor will make no difference 🤷‍♂️🤬 Israel will continue the genocide, apartheid and brutality. They will ignore Penny Wong and treat Australia with contempt. Grow a backbone, impose effective trade sanctions stand up for Zomi and decency

1825391

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Thousands of US. marines are being rotated through Darwin says #7.30 We are interchangeable not just interoperable says the Australian military. Marles waffles on while we hand over permanent bases to the US and call them rotational. How about diplomacy instead of militarism?

78235

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Great to see the ACTU pushing for more public housing and tenancy security for renters in the private market. We build public housing for US military as part of the AUKUS fiasco but not for battling Australians.

09446

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

So #Insiders lead with melons 😂. Then discuss cuts to NDIS. Will the huge AUKUS spend with no funding details and unlimited opportunity for failure and cost blow outs get a run? Cut NDIS, feed the military industrial complex and former politicians masquerading as consultants 🤬

79030

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

As middle powers distance themselves from the Trump regime we continue our fawning subservience. $368b for subs that may never arrive. Handing Australian territory to the US. Nuclear weapons on our soil. Approximately $150b to store nuclear waste. Militarisation of our economy.

13422

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

It’s usually the buyer who determines what they expect. I suppose when you allow the government and the nation to be treated as mugs, this is what you get. No wonder the US is “very pleased with progress”.

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

The recorded Wollongong AUKUS hearing is now available on YouTube! Sorry about the technical problems that meant we could not broadcast live! Great contributions from Wollongong residents and terrific attendance all day at the inquiry, A shout out to Arthur Rorris and the unions.

14223

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

The AUKUS Inquiry has kicked off in Wollongong. It’s being recorded as at the moment we are unable to access WiFi in the auditorium. Hopefully we can get a fix. Packed house with Arthur Rorris, the highly respected Secretary of the South Coast Labour Council kicking off.

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

The Hunter Peace Group submitted that in a meeting with Pat Conroy he identified potential threats from China, India and Japan as a reason for AUKUS. Maybe Conroy could enlighten the nation on what basis he and the govt have come to this conclusion. This is bizarre!

53416

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

I hope the national and Newcastle press hold Pat Conroy to account for his blatant lies. He must correct his statements and inform the nation and his electorate of the facts not government propaganda and talking points. The public is sick of being treated like mugs!

24118

Doug Cameron @dncameron.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

The Newcastle inquiry live on YouTube just search “Aukus Innquiry”. Lawyer Kellie Tranter forensically exposing the legal, military and economic failures of the AUKUS disaster.
