Canada is buying 12 brand-new submarines through a competitive process for $70 billion.

Australia’s spending up to $368 billion on AUKUS for 3–4 second-hand submarines before any new boats arrive decades later if ever.

Whatever your politics, this is worth questioning.

David Pocock pauses, overcome with emotion, while detailing UN’s horrific findings against Israel
“IDF has now killed 20,000 Palestinian children”
“…deliberately shot at children’s limbs…as a twisted game of target practice”😔
Barbaric & sickening. This is our ally?

[💧Mary Kostakidis @MaryKostakidis]

Superb (short) speech in NSW Parliament by Stephen Lawrence - following the release of the UN Report concluding Israel’s killing of children is ‘targeted’ - urging us all to confront the reality of what Israel is doing

[FreeDanDuggan @FreeDanDuggan]

Dan's arrest and imprisonment has been a living nightmare for the Duggan family.

Dan has now been locked up for 3 years and 8 months. He faces no Australian charges.

The Attorney-General or the Prime Minister could step in at anytime and reject the US extradition request.

Instead, the Duggans have been forced to fight their own government in court.

Enough is enough. It is time for Dan to come home and this nightmare to end.

Please support the Duggans in their fight for Dan's freedom by donating here: https://t.co/93c15Gd7FL
or write to the A-G, PM or your local MP.

Big gas, coal and oil companies make an absolute killing from climate change, while Australians are footing the bill.

Let's call on the Australian Government to make coal and gas corporations pay for the damage they cause.

How is Hanson's attendance record in the SENATE, and has her salary been docked?

[Rick @colonelhogans]

Pauline Hanson has told Australia how she intends to repay big business for their love and financial support.

Destroy our IR system.

Pauline Hanson in her speech said she would look after working Australians. She's asked if her record of criticising minimum wage increases and voting against workers rights is helping working Australians.

The One Nation leader says she understands people out there are struggling to afford to pay their bills but "there has to be a balance".

She says the main thing that has increased the cost-of-living is an increase in electricity bills.

On industrial relations, she says the system needs a "complete overhaul because it's not working".
"Businesses also tell me you can't sack people these days.

They're on their phones.

They don't work.

They don't turn up.

They actually are lazy and businesses are tired of it."

Hanson says "fair enough" if you do the work you should get the same pay, no matter if you're a female or male.

But she says "if women take time off and they're not paid their wages because they're not working" that's fair enough.

“Why should businesses pay them if they're not at work.

That's the difference.

That's why the pay gap is there."

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

My piece in the @GuardianAus today arguing govts can't afford to repeat the mistakes they made with the gas industry.

With huge investment in data centres - why aren't we asking what this is all for and how Australians are going to benefit from it?

If we do want data centres and multinational tech giants are going to use Australian land, Australian energy, Australian water & Australian workers to build the infrastructure that powers the AI revolution, then Australians deserve a fair return.

That's the lesson we failed to learn with gas. We shouldn't wait another generation to learn it again.

This morning our co-CEO Leanne Minshull helped launch a public inquiry into AUKUS!

Australians deserve transparency and should not be asked to simply accept a project of this magnitude without scrutiny.

For those of you who say voting Independent & Greens is a wasted vote, spend some time watching these guys in Senate Estimates saving our democracy & holding Ministers & public servants to account. Two of our hardest working, most effective Senators ever.

@doctor_rahmeh And the Iranian ambassador was expelled because a synagogue door was singed, and this superficial damage was caused by vandalism organised by Iran .....
ACCORDING TO MOSSAD

but no evidence or criminal trial confirming this.

Meanwhile, IDF kidnaps, imprisons, and rapes and ????

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Following Commissioner Brereton's resignation, there is a lot of work needed to restore public confidence in the National Anti-Corruption Commssion.

This has to start with a transparent, merit-based process to appoint the next Commissioner.

[Geoff Andrews @Geoff_Andrews__]

@DavidPocock Something else to 'thank' John Howard for.

His Aged Care Act (1997) deregulated nursing homes and encouraged large corporate organisations and private equity firms to enter the residential care market.

@RamAbdu When I read this tweet I thought Netanyahu's credit cards had been blocked, which makes a lot more sense than Visa and Mastercard blocking the cards of an ICC Judge.

I will have to scale back my optimism and assumptions of justice, and my use of Visa and Mastercard.

“If we have a 25% gas export tax, we’ll be at least $17 billion a year better off.” – Dr Richard Denniss, The Australia Institute

A singed synagogue door caused way more alarm and retribution in Australia from the entire Australian government than the 6 Australian citizens who’ve just been beaten, tied up, tortured and assaulted by the IDF.

Just what in the flying bojangles are @AlboMP and @SenatorWong doing about this?

Hello?

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

The gas industry is panicking & spending millions to protect billions in profit from exporting our gas.

But no amount of glossy advertising will stop Australians demanding a fair return - a 25% gas export tax to make exporters finally pay their share.

[Dr Monique Ryan MP @Mon4Kooyong]

Unlike other AUKUS signatories, Australia hasn’t undergone a transparent review of its obligations under AUKUS. We are cutting essential services in other sectors whilst paying more and more to extend the life of outdated hardware, all while awaiting submarines that might never arrive.
At what point will the government recognise that an independent review is necessary?
