A massive new U.S. base to be built in Aust.

And it was discovered by investigative reporting.

No announcement by the @albo govt.

No announcement by @RichardMarlesMP

No transparency.

No accountability.

Social media is thinning the time we are alone and attentive to life as it is around us. And if we don't learn how to enjoy our own company and be attentive then we are more prone to feelings of loneliness.

The following countries require parliamentary approval for overseas troop deployments:

France, Germany, Denmark, Ireland, Spain, Norway, United States.

By contrast, the Aust government has no obligation to notify, consult or seek approval from parliament.

Commissioner 'Holmes “reluctantly” recommended against a compensation scheme because it would be simply unworkable. A better use of the money, she said, would be to raise the rate of income support payments from the Commonwealth.'

Australia just approved another coal mine like this. The Ensham expansion will release 106 million tonnes of emissions and destroy endangered greater glider and koala habitat. Environment Minister @tanya_plibersek decided climate harms were “not relevant”. #ESAus23 #ClimateCrisis

[🌏 Zali Steggall MP @zalisteggall]

Disappointing Minister for Environment approved extension to Ensham coal mine in QLD. ❌ The third coal mine extension since the Albanese Govt came to power. We’re in the middle of a climate crisis, we simply can’t be approving new coal & gas. #auspol https://t.co/F4x8AM8rDi

Where is the international condemnation of this new war crime? The deafening silence augurs ill for international law and every people's right to self-determination everywhere https://t.co/ZUkC1CUqVX

Who needs 10 minute conspiracy theory rants from Tucker Carlson when you can watch this fabulous 10 minute Twitter film on Rupert Murdoch. They've picked up most of the atrocities down the years: https://t.co/nPAL2JU4zU

It's hard to fathom..
Stuart Robert knows, you'd think, that Jesus did not say 'give more to people who already have'. And what did he spend a lot of his last term in office doing?

Big development in the scandal involving Liberal MP Stuart Robert and Synergy360. Insider gives sworn statement and vows to testify at anti-corruption commission. Looks more likely Robert will be first substantive NACC referral @CroweDM

It was widely understood it was a problem at the time. This only reaffirms the distortions the #homebuilder scheme created and the lack of oversight.
Thank God we still have an #FOI process, even after being nobbled.
Thx @danziffer

Another Morrison disaster, and as everyone said at the time, including me, government subsidies will distort the market >> Morrison government HomeBuilder scheme 'overheated' construction, blindsided states and lacked controls #auspol https://t.co/r0tLll8yzP via @ABCaustralia

Serious corruption allegations against Stuart Robert.
Has there ever been a more corrupt, incompetent govt than the Morrison administration?

"It's the biggest, it's the most costly and it's the riskiest decision ever taken by any Australian government short of governments committing us to war and should not be allowed,"

It's 2023 and we are being asked by the government whether Australia as a nation should have a Human Rights Act. The only democratic country in the world without a charter of human rights in either legislation or the Constitution. #auspol #humanrightsact

Happen to believe strongly it’s in the national interest to call out AUKUS - it stinks worse when you examine closely. https://t.co/y9SXPdhY6E
