Here's an Honest Government Ad to explain the budget Josh Frydenberg just handed down before the election. (We made this one prior to the 2019 election, so just swap the pic of Shorten for Albo & it's pretty much up to date). Feat. @EllenBurbidge New HGA coming soon!

The Russian invasion of Ukraine was meant to secure Vladimir Putin’s place in history and reunify what Moscow views as the divided lands of historic Russia. Instead, it has completely shattered the myth of unity between Russia and Ukraine. #POLIS3114 https://t.co/lOPl7Hcnen

Is there ever a case to kill tyrants? The problem of tyrannicide is not only ethically vexing but legally complex and politically doubtful. More than 2000 years after Plato, we still don’t have a definitive answer. #POLIS3114 https://t.co/MIErYc1OqO

Description: "Realism is an ideology that stipulates the insignificance of ideologies in favor of attending strictly to power relations". Demolition: "Realism is a principal of intellectual fog, which claims to be a principle of intellectual lucidity". https://t.co/62VpuHyEXe

Fascinating article (from 2014) suggesting that the "Bush Doctrine" of "preventive war" might inform (at least conceptually) Putin's decision to invade Ukraine. #POLIS3114 [Preventive War]

Tom McTague: The horrible reality is that the best option for the West might involve finding a way for Putin to not be held as accountable as he should be —but then to never forget what he has done. #POLIS3114 https://t.co/jJxi2Pn9ty
