Conroy’s desperation has resulted in false claims that the Australia Institute is “running” the public inquiry.
I have been closely involved in establishing the inquiry. The inquiry is coordinated by a diverse group with the Australian Peace and Security Forum the lead agency.
Pat Conroy failing to justify the AUKUS fiasco.
Nothing he asserts justifies spending $368b integrating our military with the US and abandoning our sovereignty to Trump and his minions.
Abandoning diplomacy and common sense for military aggression is a recipe for disaster.
Ed Husic is spot on!
Crushing legitimate debate over AUKUS is counterproductive, weakens Labor and stifles sensible policy development.
“Left” MP’s attempting to isolate Ed, spouting warmongering nonsense and using a warped sense of “solidarity” and “discipline” is pathetic.
How the fuck do we live in a country where if 30 dogs had been murdered and thousands more violently harmed by owners this year there’d be a national outcry and money galore to fix the problem but as it’s only women and kids being killed and maimed it’s … crickets?

Another confusing, incoherent and bewildering interview on the AUKUS fiasco from Richard Marles on ABC 7.30.
No straight answers, no final cost, no delivery dates and no guarantees of ever getting a sub.
This is a major political and strategic weakness for the ALP government!
The decision to abandon our sovereignty, blindly support US aggression and spend at least $368b on second hand submarines beggars belief.
Labor’s desperate attempt to avoid being wedged on AUKUS is proving to be politically,militarily, strategically and economically incompetent.
For those of you who say voting Independent & Greens is a wasted vote, spend some time watching these guys in Senate Estimates saving our democracy & holding Ministers & public servants to account. Two of our hardest working, most effective Senators ever.
It seems to have escaped Marching Michaelia that Abbott is ‘a former Prime Minister’ because his own colleagues thought he was such a fuckwit that they axed him. The good voters of Warringah then did the same. Back to the future !!!
Richard Marles claims Labor has been “forward leaning” in condemning Israels treatment of protestors. Mealy mouthed, performative, expressions of concern do not hide the fact that we have been weak and cowardly in not condemning Israel’s Trump backed, genocide of Palestinians.🤬
Bridget McRorter in hot water & facing calls to resign after slugging taxpayers for flights and accommodation to attend son’s wedding in Tasmania.🙄
The gravy train never stops with McKenzie. As shameless as they come. #auspol
I think what we all admired most about Paul Brereton was his relentless pursuit of the Robodebt crooks, a dogged campaign to bring them to the justice they so richly deserved.
Not.

We're don't really think of little girls as heroes.
But we should.
