How does the saying go? If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen. I would add, if you don't want to be ridiculed, don't be ridiculous. Don't treat the public as a bunch of mugs. So much for fearless advice to the government. #auspol #publicservice

An Australian government who never says no to the Trump regime has a very strange idea of what “sovereignty” means. #EndAUKUS #auspol

Marles does NOT speak for me. He has zero mandate to claim that Australians want closer ties and loss of sovereignty to the US military industrial complex. Tell Richard Marles to pack his bags and move to the US if HE wants closer ties with the demented IS regime. Leave us in peace, Dickie.

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!

We know that Labor continues to approve new fossil fuel projects and subsidise fossil fuel use by more than $30,000 a minute. They are letting the biggest polluters cook the planet, and to add insult to injury, they are letting them avoid billions in taxes too.

We broke significant national news this week and not a single mainstream media outlet wanted to cover it or follow up. It isn't surprising, but it is illustrative. Put simply, they're all owned and operated by Zionist billionaires. This is why indie media needs to exist.

Pete Buttigieg says his family was effectively swatted — except, instead of calling the cops, someone called Child Protective Services, lied and said Buttigieg had admitted to 'committing unspeakably violent crimes' and that his kids were at risk. The kids are not and were not at risk.
