Energy security = national security. Keynote to @BioenAustralia's Renewable Fuels Week, ensuring the critical need to strengthen Australia's fuel security is at the forefront of policymakers thinking. $250 million Govt support to boost Australia's LCLF industry is both welcome and overdue but vital for national resilience and capability. #EnergySecurity #RenewableFuels #FutureMadeInAustralia

The past three years have offered a variety of insights on modern war, but perhaps none are as important as the political lessons. I propose several insights in my new article for the Lowy Institute. 1/5

Finnish navy is quite unknown even to many Finns.
However, for its size, it is very capable of its intended uses.
In the near future, however, the capability of Finnish Navy will increase considerably. 🧵
@shellenberger Thanks for visiting us here at Australian Parliament House and for the really interesting chat.
Here is my statement earlier today

To be clear I have not decided my position while I am doing much needed due diligence on this legislation.
Why? This bill has significant flaws I won’t allow our citizens to be subject to. I have always held that our right to free speech must be respected. The Senate Committee inquiry has until next week to report their findings and given it has had 100’s of submissions I believe they deserve to be heard .
So please keep engaging with me on this bill as your views matter, but note using misinformation does nothing to strengthen your argument.
This ‘Comrade’ @SenatorDavidVan is a defector.
He’s crossing the floor to support Labor’s MAD censorship bill.
Next year, vote him out.
Keep up the pressure on the Senators Australia.
@rohancct@sandylanceley Nope count is out of date
Van, Tyrell, Babet, Lambie, Payman, Pocock, Thorpe, Rennick (no longer LNP) + LNP & ON (Hanson & Roberts - 40
V Greens & Labor - 36
@QBCCIntegrity@debbie03700 FYI it is not even on the Notice Paper to come before the Senate for debate. It probably won’t unless the Government has the numbers which is probably unlikely.
Idealists say aggression is fundamentally unacceptable. Realists say Russia is so strong that resistance is futile and acceptance is the only answer.
Well, I say we are strong enough to defend our ideals, and fighting back is the most realistic choice. Here's why. 👇🧵1/16
Tanks are essential part of our land defence, and our soldiers both need and want them. If Australia makes them available to Ukraine either directly, or indirectly through the US, we will gladly accept them and put them to good use
