The Shot just exposed Australia is manufacturing nitroglycerin, nitrocellulose & RDX for Israel's bombs.
These explosives are made in govt-owned plants, leased to Thales, trucked at night to ports, sent via US/Singapore - straight to Gaza & Lebanon.
Mehreen Faruqi lists some of the abuses endured by Australian women detained off the flotilla
“sexually assaulted, cabled tied & beaten”
“Raped”
“Syringed with an unknown substance”
“Guns inserted inside them”
“Repeatedly kneed”
“Stripped of clothes”
Absolutely reprehensible.
I thought this was a new episode of Utopia at first.
It’s not. It’s real life.
The greatest risk to national security is actually coming from those ostensibly responsible for it.

"No Warranty on #Aukus Subs"
Labor has paid $368B for 3 second hand Subs that have no Warranty and a Nuclear reactor that will only last for 20Years.
The #Aukus Grift gets better by the day.
No New subs
No Warranty
Only 20 year life span
Delivery 2040 maybe

Meanwhile DFAT says that Israel has responded to our questions about new evidence showing Australian War Graves that appear to have again been bulldozed & decimated by Israel after we told them to stop, saying they are now blaming Hamas. Just words, no evidence. Disgraceful.
The bunkum about our submariners staying in their cabins on the US submarine during the sinking of the Iranian ship, came from a senior ASPI ‘expert’ on ABC Radio.
▪️No-one in government or in the Navy moved to correct this lie.
▪️Now it emerges the Australian submariners were on-station and on-duty — attending to ‘damage control’ during the attack.
▪️Despite earlier denials, the Australian submariners were playing a part in the submarine attack that sank the Iranian ship killing more than 80 young Iranian sailors.
▪️👇. And it was hidden from the public — until today. Thanks due to @DavidShoebridge in Senate Estimates.
Pocock presses Wong who says we all ‘prefer' an independent inquiry into abuse of Aussies off a flotilla but will instead push for a ‘swift’ & ‘transparent’-internal Israel led investigation🙄
Pocock ‘if we prefer an independent one, why has the govt not asked Israel?’🔥#auspol
The Govt has committed to buying 3 US Virginia Class subs, without first negotiating a price🤦♂️. Yesterday it was revealed they also haven't negotiated a warranty for the second-hand subs🤦♂️. Would officials personally buy a car like that? No! #dumb#OnlyYOURMoney#AUKUS#auspol
At Estimates Defence confirmed it on the record that the Palantir software Defence is paying $14.4 million for is the same suite of products used in Gaza, Lebanon, and the US attack on Iran. I then asked if anyone ran an ethics check. See what happens next.
When you come home to Australia, Border Force asks if you have been hiking recently. Surely they can ask if you joined a foreign military.

Look, I commend the effort.
But the reality is we don't need more de facto food banks. People like John need the ABC to push the government on raising the rate of all income support payments
ironic because a year ago, i delivered a speech at oxford union about the dangers of conflating judaism and zionism & how this foments antisemitism. since then the government has arrested pensioners for protesting against israel and let iof war criminals roam free!
Down under perspective. Yes Mr Pascoe, second hand AUKUS subs for Australia: this confirms our subservient role as the anglosphere’s Indian and Pacific ocean bases for the US and UK.
The government's rhetoric on housing policy is good.
They recognise the problem.
I just wish they would back it up with meaningful policy.
The tax changes (reducing prices 2%) and social housing subsidies (for 4% of households) do little to improve overall affordability.
Last year, the Australian Jewish Association took a group of Australian citizens to the West Bank to promote Regavim, an extremist settler group.
Today, the European Union has placed Regavim on the sanctions list for “serious human rights abuses against Palestinians”.
@KatCopseyGreens Frequency is freedom. Free fairs are great but the network itself needs to be a better oiled machine. Also fight against replacement buses that the gov over relies on versus maintaining a corridor during construction. Electrify the west fast and get metro rolling stock out there
This could open the box on how consultancy contracts are put out to tender or not & how they are paid.👇🏼Instead of paid govt employees we have waves of highly paid consultants representing private interests.
Are they in fact lobbyists in disguise ? 👇🏼
