Dear @davidshoebridge.bsky.social I support the @greens.org.au on most issues, but I am appalled by your position on Ukraine. Ukraine has been invaded by Russia. They are defending their sovereign territory. I cannot understand your reasoning not to provide aid to them. #auspol #SlavaUkraini 😔 🇺🇦 🌻

The Greens under new leadership have made the decision to be a government-in-waiting and many Australians are energised by that Its not only a mess made by Albanese and Labor, its a dysfunctional mess created by major parties in our body politic that serves no-one johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

Bad enough that successive Australian governments have outsourced our defence and foreign policy to the US. But with Trump and Hegseth in charge, the 'alliance' [aka Australia giving up its sovereignty] is a huge threat to our national security. #EndAUKUS #auspol

Isn’t it sad that our government is such an obedient lapdog to Israel & the US? No matter how corrupt & depraved these 2 countries are, Albo chooses to stand by their sides in support, rather than show moral courage by standing up for all of the people who have been murdered by these two countries.

Fun fact: the predator alien in the film "Predator 2" (1990) has higher morals than IDF soldiers in Gaza. #MostMoralArmy? #EndTheOccupation #FreePalestine
In Predator 2 (1990), the Predator recognises that a child with a toy gun poses no actual threat and doesn't attack him. This implies Predators have more ethical rules of engagement than the IDF.

When the Australian Govt promotes itself on the world stage as an important "middle power", all I see is a compliant vassal state of the USA and Israel, willing to sell out the human rights and sovereignty of smaller nations to please our masters.
