Transformation begins with a ripple, which then becomes a wave.
We are the people.
We are non-violent.
We demand truth.
We demand action.
There is no force more powerful than an idea whose time has come.

You could do a lot more than lay flowers at her grave while looking deeply concerned @SenatorWong You could hold Israel to account for her murder. You are the Foreign Minister of a sovereign nation after all. Zomi’s nation. 🇦🇺
Why did every Australian government from Chifley to Rudd, 1945-2010, not allow permanent US military bases in Australia?
Because when you allow bases you give up sovereignty.
Gillard changed it, and now, as a US diplomat told me, Australia is effectively under US occupation.
Australia is moving towards a war footing faster than even I imagined.
▪️Now permitting German military forces to use Australian and America military bases on Australian territory.
▪️The move is readying Australia to be a Forward Operating Base for the west’s war against China.
▪️And allowing Australian military forces to fight NATO’s planned expanded war against Russia from German soil.
Marles: “..a Status of Forces Agreement, which will make it much easier for our defence forces to operate from each other’s countries.”
I just heard the @BBC radio say that the Israeli army was attacking Hezbollah targets yesterday & they also platformed someone bloviating about how Iran is ‘occupying’ Lebanon.
As a frontline journalist on the ground for the last 18 months, I would like to reiterate that I have not see any Iranian occupation bases in Lebanon. I have not seen any children killed here by Iranian bombs. I haven’t seen the IRGC massacring entire families on a daily basis. The IRGC has not shot at me or killed dozens of my colleagues in targeted attacks. Iran has not been systematically murdering healthcare workers (over 130) in Lebanon.
Israel has violently invaded and occupied Lebanon. The flag flying over the base in Al Khiam is an Israeli flag, not an Iranian flag. (Photo below)
The Lebanese Ministry of Health yesterday reported that 3,613 civilians have been killed and 11,072 have been wounded in Israeli attacks since March 2nd.
@thetrueCatpack@k_eagar@Peter15930204@_marching_Ents_@yanisvaroufakis@MikeCarlton01 I’m a Jew. I’m a history graduate. I would call myself pretty well versed on the Shoah. Yes the Zionists are replicating the Nazis. I wish it wasn’t so but it is.
We don’t need to list Shoah details to know another genocide is being carried out. Our job as humans is to stop it
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.

Brilliant piece from Pearls and Irritations. Finally, someone in Australia is saying out loud what the rest of us have been watching for the past five years
Let's be clear about what AUKUS actually is: the greatest military protection racket in modern history. Washington looked at its own crippled submarine industrial base—17 boats short, yards choking, Congress screaming—and found the perfect mark. A wealthy, eager, insecure middle power with a bipartisan fetish for great-power relevance and a defense minister who treats strategic questions like a classified state secret
The deal? Australia pays half a trillion dollars. In return, it gets used Virginia-class hand-me-downs—Block IV boats with a decade of wear already on the hulls, probably smelling faintly of its previous crew
Even more intriguing, the article confirms for what this overpriced second-hand Australian "sovereign" nuclear submarine fleet is actually for:
Hunting Chinese Jin-class and Type 096 SSBNs. Not to protect Sydney Harbour. Not to secure Australia's trade routes. To find, track, and if ordered, destroy the Chinese nuclear submarines that threaten continental America!
That's the job. That's the whole job. Australia just committed A$368 billion to be the US Navy's underwater security guard!
The comedy of "sovereign capability" is almost too rich. Sovereign? The reactors are American. The combat system is American. The weapons are American. The fuel is American. The intelligence feed is American. The maintenance schedule is American. Permanently tethering Australia to U.S. software, maintenance, and logistics, effectively ending any "sovereign" capability. The only thing Australian is the taxpayer—and the Prime Minister standing in front of a camera calling this independence
Australia is not buying a submarine; it is buying a node in a U.S. sensor network. The acquisition deeply integrates Australia into the U.S. military command structure, making Australia a tool for U.S. strategic objectives in the Indo-Pacific — while a massive amount of Australian wealth is transferred into the U.S. military-industrial complex
And the timing is exquisite. Washington just added another half-trillion to its own defense budget while Australia is told to hit 3.5% of GDP. America gets the money, the boats, the basing rights at HMAS Stirling, and a Pacific ASW auxiliary. Australia gets the bill, the dependency, and the warm fuzzy feeling of being taken seriously by the adults.
The U.S. 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS) emphasizes "burden-sharing among allies" and "realist diplomacy." This submarine deal is the perfect execution of that strategy: the U.S. maintains its military overmatch against China by essentially "outsourcing" the financial cost of undersea surveillance to Australia 🤡
Paul Keating called this three years ago. He was mocked, of course. The press club gasped. The security establishment rolled its eyes. But he was right then, and this article proves he's right now. It is worse than he thought. It's not that AUKUS is of little military benefit to Australia. It's that AUKUS is of negative military benefit to Australia—actively diverting resources from actual defense needs toward a capability designed for someone else's homeland

Prof Jeffrey Sachs, American economist and public policy analyst. Columbia University:
"AUKUS is designed to bill the Australian taxpayers and enrich the US military industrial complex. You have been had Australia, sorry to tell you. And your politicians should own up it."
"The briefing pack contains details of a discussion between the Australian Govt and the United States ... If these details are released, the Govt risks undermining diplomatic trust and failing to meet international disclosure obligations."
So how and why is Jillian Segal in charge of this high security, incredibly sensitive information then?
We broke significant national news this week and not a single mainstream media outlet wanted to cover it or follow up.
It isn't surprising, but it is illustrative.
Put simply, they're all owned and operated by Zionist billionaires.
This is why indie media needs to exist.
@cheryl_kernot@GregWithers3@iamthenas@BevFloyd10 If you're interested, go on to this page to see how heavily enmeshed the Israel lobby is with all facets of the Australian union movement and Australian Labor

Then ask yourself how and why the unions and Labor have succumbed so completely to Israel
