@EmmettStinson I bought the Age Book of the Year 2026 from Readings today at $36.99. Normally Readings would discount that but not this time.

@JoshBBornstein Excellent news. Best of luck Josh.

[Antony Loewenstein @antloewenstein]

Vital new story by @PeterCronau for @DeclassifiedAus that outlines the deep complicity of Australia, now and in the past, with US war making (including against Iran).
The kind of story that should appear in the mainstream media, but won't:
Please read and share widely:
