@annieljensen @EddyJokovich @BevJohnst The whole western world runs on agendas opposed to their own country's well being.

@CharlesJHarvey @YoiksAndAway @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP Nothing short of treason, imo.

[Organoid @flanker62]

@RhondaGarad @wattleiwear Yup. And our duopoly governments rolls out the red carpet to these bastards.

Sidoti: Here is what Australia should do
‘•The first action should be a wide ranging review to identify the many ways in which Australia’s relations with Israel support Israel committing international crimes. 

•Trade and diplomatic measures include ceasing all defence-related trade with Israel, including dual-use products, components, materials and technology, and ending trade and cooperative ventures with companies developing military items for use by Israel. Australia should also withdraw Australian defence and trade officials from our Tel Aviv embassy and impose secondary sanctions on states conducting defence-related trade with Israel.

•Accountability measures comprise Australia affirming its commitment to enforce international criminal court arrest warrants for Israeli political and military leaders, along with imposing personal sanctions against these leaders and Israeli settlers responsible for violence in the West Bank.

•Legal enforcement actions include investigating and prosecuting Australian citizens who have served in the Israel Defense Forces since October 2023 for potential war crimes, crimes against humanity or genocide, while prohibiting Australian citizens from fighting in foreign armed forces. The full force of Australian law should be applied to Australians who commit international crimes, as the prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has said.

•Settlement-focused measures would prohibit financial transactions with illegal Israeli settlements and end tax deductibility for Australian charities providing funding to organisations supporting illegal settlements.
Additionally, Australia should provide at least 15,000 humanitarian places for Palestinian refugees from Gaza and restore scholarship eligibility for Palestinians to undertake tertiary studies in Australia.
This is not a wishlist. It is the simple implementation of legal obligations. Australia wants to be a good international citizen. This is how it can be that.’

@RonniSalt @SimonBurns4 @CreakingG It's like they have some weird 'End Game' thing happening. I am getting over it real quick, and I won't support any politician who plays along with their fantasies.

[Organoid @flanker62]

@DavidShoebridge @noplaceforsheep The USA has gone rogue, and Australia's leadership is too gutless or complicit to call them out. Crazy times for all.

@RobbieBarwick @JeffLormans Is it a crime if the government does it ?

[Robert Barwick @RobbieBarwick]

"Australia has not done enough to sell AUKUS to the public."

Gee, really?

IT'S A SECRET SCHEME!

It was:

* hatched in secret between Morrison and Pompeo;
* put on Albanese in secret & he secretly agreed; &
* Labor & the Coalition teamed up to block a public inquiry.

@TabularasaMMXIX @JeffLormans The whole deal is astoundingly corrupt. Australia could be the first country to put a man on Mars for less than this.

[🐀 Senior Junior 🐀 @TabularasaMMXIX]

@JeffLormans So that’s about $120 billion per sub for junk value. At about $ 12 billion for a new Virginia Class we are getting 1 junk boat for the price of 10 new ones approx. Well done chaps.

[Organoid @flanker62]

@DavidPocock @Nolongerscot Probably to make it more attractive for big corp to take over.

[Rex Patrick @MrRexPatrick]

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

A Must Read. Mike Gilligan on just how much of a scam the AUKUS lemon is cc @AlboMP @RichardMarlesMP and why it is an unprecedented disgrace and betrayal of the people of Australia. The PM should take this opportunity to WITHDRAW. The Public Enquiry will be excoriating. You dont give away public money in this way.
‘The Virginia class submarine is not a general-purpose vessel such as our Collins class. It is designed for supreme acoustic invisibility for a specific purpose – to find, track and attack submarines seen as a nuclear threat to the US mainland. That is the job which the US expects Australia’s submarines to do – effectively embedded into US military command – against China’s growing capacity to annihilate continental US from under the sea, anytime.
Why this role is of utmost priority for the US requires some explanation. Nuclear armed submarines, such as China possesses, present a uniquely difficult threat to the US homeland. Unlike the readily discernible launch locations of hostile land-based missiles, or from aircraft or sea-surface vessels, the submarine’s habitat and mobility make it largely invisible and impregnable across the vast ocean approaches to the US.
The US attempts to deal with this risk using specialised attack submarines (ie the Virginia), which can locate, track and destroy China’s nuclear submarines as they move into and around Pacific waters. This is one critical part of a mosaic of US self-protection measures, the effectiveness of which is eroding as China’s submarine production expands.
So, the hefty sacrifice which Australia’s taxpayers make to acquire new submarines is not for Australia’s benefit, but for defending continental US. Australia’s submarine needs are quite specialised and different, but simply ignored by Minister Marles…
the evidence is incontrovertible this government has forsaken independence in protecting Australia. And deceives its people on how it lets the United States controls our priorities to its own benefit, damaging our own defence capacity. The implications of such betrayal are profound.’
We are just vassals to a fading hegemon who wants to be able to keep goading our biggest trading partner because its economic growth presents a threat to the US lording it over the world. FFS time to grow up and stop supporting a bully.

@RonniSalt @JilllovesJazz @cheryl_kernot @GregWithers3 @iamthenas @BevFloyd10 It seems that there is no way out of the spider web of vested interests. Maybe i have turned cynical or fatalistic in my dotage. Anyhow, Greens and Susbtainable Australia from now on. 😑

[Dr Colin Hughes @drcwhos]

@DavidShoebridge Please explain how 3 used nuclear submarines with all the added costs of decommissioning and storage of nuclear waste can defend Australia's 59,765Km of coastline over 30 diesel electric new generation subs? @EdHusicMP_ @MrRexPatrick
