It’s a national embarrassment that a former Labor minister is crowdfunding for an independent inquiry into AUKUS, one which the government keeps denying us.
You wonder why people are giving up on the major parties: first they commit us to an extraordinarily expensive deal with unreliable allies and even less reliable deliverables, now they change terms of the deal without real transparency, and tell us we're getting a good deal when we’re paying the same for less. Australians aren't buying it.

At last! An independent public inquiry into the fiasco that is AUKUS.
A great team of Commissioners led by Peter Garrett. As days go by the problems, changes and complexities multiply.
Why are we spending $368b to appease Trump and attack our most important trading partner?
AUKUS is the biggest defence project in Australian history and yet it still hasn’t been properly scrutinised. Good on the APSF for establishing the AUKUS Public Inquiry. Submissions can be made here: https://t.co/0Pu8VqrAAC

#TonyAbbott currently receives a $500,000 salary for sitting on the board of US-based FOX NEWS which pushed Trump into office. Abbott is also an adviser for the right-wing advocacy group, ADVANCE. This group is bankrolled by GINA RINEHART.
Join the dots…..🤔

RELEASE ALL OF THE TRUMP/EPSTEIN FILES.
🚨 HOLY SHIT.
CNN just cited a New York Times estimate saying Trump has reportedly profited $1.4 BILLION from the presidency.
And the wildest part?
One panelist said Trump made MORE MONEY in the last year than in the rest of his life combined.
Think about that.
The first reporter who fires back at Trump’s “You’re a terrible reporter” with “You’re a terrible president” deserves a Pulitzer on the spot.
Raise your hand if you agree ✋.
The 🇦🇺 Govt needs to ensure we capture a fairer share of tax from massive multinational companies - from gas to big tech - that export our resources or make $ off Australians.
The business model of offshoring profit has to be challenged.
We keep hearing about the data centre and AI boom - we have to get a fair return from the companies using our resources.

3 yrs on & Yates finally takes the fall. For gross, systemic failures, clumsy coverups & attacks on whistleblowers. These guys laugh at Parliament. Time to change the rules. Time for Labor to act on unregulated massive partnerships - who laugh all the way to the bank 🏦💸💵
This opinion is soon going to be recognized universally: Trump is the most notorious criminal in modern history. Not since Hitler has any leader of a country plundered, pillaged, and personally enriched himself so obscenely, while giving ZERO fucks to the rule of law.
This is so fucking awesome.
Since Stephen Colbert‘s departure, CBS has experienced a significant decline. His last show attracted 6.74 million viewers.
The following night his replacement Comics Unleashed drew less than 1 million viewers, an 85% drop.
This proves how powerful we the people can be.
Elon Musk: If Kamala wins she'll hide the Epstein files, & be a threat to democracy.
If Trump wins he'll release the Epstein files, & focus on the people.
This idiot has NEVER been right about anything. 👇
Systemic failures that need structural solutions. Big 4 business model where earnings trump ethics every time. How many times do we need its illustration? Enough with the scandal and outrage: time for action. Step up Labor.
An eagle made from logging debris in Tasmania’s Central Highlands, where Forestry Tasmania is right now destroying vital wildlife habitat. Today, activists took action to halt the destruction, building this powerful sculpture. #Politas
