No one in Australia was asked if we wanted #AUKUS — in fact the public tossed out the government who signed us up to #AUKUS.
No previous government has had such disloyalty to our independence, to sign us up to a foreign power.
Polling shows the majority of the public remain opposed to #AUKUS — the present government ignores this fact to its peril.
And they call it democracy…

“The trouble is that with no new money, the submarines take up 38 per cent of the budget,” says former Air Force Chief Geoff Brown.
The #AUKUS sub program puts most of our defence eggs in one very expensive expeditionary basket. It’s a brewing national security disaster. #auspol
It’s incredible that this was 54 years ago, yet this interview could have taken place today with any resistance fighter in Palestine.
Nothing started on October 7th!

Trucks carrying medical supplies denied entry into the #Gaza by the Israeli authorities on July 3 due to ongoing fighting in the south.
We have been unable to bring any medical supplies since the end of April.
Hospitals continue to grapple with acute shortages of supplies.
"It will included Muslim candidates from Western Sydney, it will be a disaster". As a Muslim who grew up in Western Sydney I find this comment from someone who is running for PM an absolute disgrace. Bigotry at its finest. Fueling Islamophobia from the very top.
This is an @ACNC_gov_au registered charity racially vilifying a Muslim politician for supporting a Palestinian state.
When will the @ACNCommissioner do her job & revoke their charity status?
"The problem is so many of our democratic problems have been dressed up as economic problems."
"When powerful people want submarines, apparently we can afford them."
"Increase unemployment benefits? Not so much."

We live in a world where the White House will publicly condemn students’ placards on college campuses but won’t publicly condemn a Republican politician flying to Israel to write genocidal messages on literal bombs. 🤷🏽♂️
Gas companies are getting away with state-sanctioned daylight robbery.
The value in Australian gas should be used to build a better future for Australians, not to inflate the profits of multinationals.
The Lemkin Institute has had it with the cynical lies and propaganda from Israel and the USA. One can have different views about the definition of genocide, but one may not use definitional disputes to deny genocide. If a genocide may be occurring, every nation is compelled by customary law to try to stop it.
Let us be clear: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. The US is complicit in genocide. These are not political statements. They are statements that are made from knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, you do not need a PhD , a law degree, or X-ray vision to see the genocidal dimensions of Israel’s carnage in Gaza. It is clear in the behavior of the state and its military, on full display in yesterday’s horrific bombardment of a Rafah camp.
But even if there were legitimate doubts about Israel’s genocide, there is no doubt that Israel is committing atrocity crimes of the most barbaric kind. Israel must be stopped. Israel must be stopped now.
We are disgusted by Western leaders, especially in the USA, Germany, and the UK. They have demonstrated not only that they don’t care one bit about genocide prevention and human rights, but also that they are willing to allow an ally to commit atrocity crimes while they offer material and diplomatic support. It is reprehensible and the individuals involved in this gaslighting campaign should be deeply ashamed. They should also be put on trial.
Humanity has a choice: Either we decide that our children can all be killed whenever a superior force alleges that “terrorists” are among us, or we decide that under no circumstances will we allow these superior forces to lay waste to our world any longer.
We each must choose and act accordingly. The watershed moment is now.
Today Adam and I moved in parliament, on behalf of the Greens, to recognise the state of Palestine. Labor, Liberals, Nationals all joined together to vote against the motion.
The Greens and Andrew Wilkie voted yes.
History will remember moments like this.
It’s sick that Israel gets treated like a normal country.
Kick Israel out of the Olympics
Kick Israel out of FIFA
Kick Israel out of the Tour de France
Kick Israel out of Eurovision
Kick Israel out of Miss Universe
Kick Israel out of the Oscars
Kick Israel out of the Grammys
If you are still supporting this stuff, after all this time, after all the deaths, after all the ICJ and ICC interventions… then you are a bad person. There is no other way to describe you.
