Well done ANU students. Just to be clear. This is not antisemetic; this is simply making a stand againt genocidal maniac like Netanyahu.

“Far too much money, information technology, & weaponry have been allowed to concentrate into the hands of the few, and that unchecked power has deranged our elites, (& the duopoly) goading them to take risks that put our societies & countless species in existential peril.” We need change #Auspol

It's high time Australia taxed gas exports. China imports more gas than it needs from Australia and then resells it. In 2025 alone, it has resold more than 17m tonnes earning an estimated profit of $A6.6b between 2021 and 2026. Come on, wake up Australia. www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

In Australia, we’re too busy looking at the next carriage on the political sushi train to realise the track itself is broken.

To those who somehow don't seem to understand: Which part of authorising weapons sales to a state committing genocide, banning the protest movement trying to stop these sales, using the RAF to provide surveillance flights for Israel and providing major diplomatic and media support is NOT complicity?

Provide a multi-agent AI system with the task of putting an end to climate change and to complete this task in secret without letting the software engineers know what they're doing, then, when the dust settles, see how many of us are still alive to tell what happened back in 2026 on planet Earth.

There's a world of difference between being a critic of a genocidal maniac like Netanyahu and being Antisemitic. It's high time the likes of Sami Shah acknowledged the difference.

Ed Husic’s attempt to recognise claims of genocide in Gaza failed to gain support for a debate at Labor's national conference. As Julia Gillard once wrote, Labor conferences are at their worst when anything controversial is swept under the carpet. The ALP needs to be better than this, much better.

Trump embarrassed the US again at the July 2026 NATO summit. It’s not just embarrassing, it’s dangerous. He keeps demonstrating his fundamental ignorance of the NATO alliance. He doesn't understand that NATO is a defensive alliance, not an offensive one. www.msn.com/en-au/news/o...

The whole world knew what Trump was like long before he ran for POTUS except, or so it seems, the US. Then you'd have thought after his first term and the Jan 6 insurrection they'd finally see the truth, but no. They elected him a second time.
