Bye x.

Yet again. Adding to the growing mountain of evidence that AUKUS stinks. The most expensive jobs generating fiasco ever, with the US - our major partner - descending into autocratic chaos. Come on serious policy makers, get a grip! https://t.co/fyFYzwefzi

This is Beirut 🇱🇧tonight.

Beirut is nowhere near the border with Israel 🇮🇱

This has nothing to do with Israel 🇮🇱 seeking border security.

This is bringing terror. This is Netanyahu determined to plunge the whole region into war.

@blowingtom2 @SenatorPayman Disagree. Stood up for belief and conviction. Old labour values. Anthony is not Gough. More?like soufle.

5. The Labor party is trying to sell that they stand up for injustice and human rights.

Well I tell you what Mr Albanese, Australians are not buying it.

[Fatima Payman @SenatorPayman]

4. And of course it happens less than 6 months out from the election.

The polling must have come in, and the ALP clearly saw how many Americans ditched the Democrats over the war in Gaza.

@SenatorPayman @albomp will be remembered as gutless and complicit. All too late. The difference between #lnp and @alp is a margin of statistical error.

2. Now they've decided to change their tune.

This Labor Government had so many opportunities to take a stand against this genocide and took none of them.

[Fatima Payman @SenatorPayman]

I was banging on the Prime Minister's, Penny Wong’s and other Cabinet Minister's doors for MONTHS saying exactly this and was told to ignore it and toe the line.

When I could no longer do that, I spoke out. For that I was ostracised, booted from the Party and labelled a rat. 1/5 🧵

Gee...the sky is bluer today. Nice new pair of shoes.

@RpsAgainstTrump Surprise.

[David Pocock @DavidPocock]

Chatting to @Dan_Bourchier about my concerns with the major party stitch up on electoral reform that will lock out more community-backed independents.

They're clearly terrified of minority govt & being forced to put people before politics.

[💧simon holmes à court 🦋 @simonahac]

the major parties' primary votes have been steadily dropping — posing an existential risk for them.

there's two ways they can arrest the decline:

1. be less shit.
2. cheat.

it's a great shame they're choosing the latter… but, you've got to admit, it's much easier.

@BErickson_BIO Putin, with the assistance of pro-Russian plutocrats like Elon Musk & Peter Thiel, has helped his puppet, Donald Trump, win a 2nd term so that he can use Trump to achieve what Nikita Khrushchev predicted in 1956 👇

[Arnaud Bertrand @RnaudBertrand]

Fantastic summary of the sheer absurdity of AUKUS by Australia's former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull (2015-2018): https://t.co/q1Bb1mdmjZ

"We've agreed to send billions of dollars to the Americans to help them improve their shipbuilding industry.

They've agreed to sell us several Virginia Class submarines in the 2030s but they've done so with the express proviso in the deal and in the legislation that no submarine can be sold to Australia unless the president certifies its sale, its transfer out of the US Navy, would not diminish the underwater capabilities of the US Navy. In other words that they can spare it.

They're already 17 Virginia Class submarines short of what they believe they need. They should be producing at least 2 a year. They're producing between 1.2 and 1.3 and to have any hope of providing Australia with submarines they've got to up that to over 2.33. Maybe it all can be done but we'll have very little influence on it. And unless it is, there's literally zero prospect of an American president certifying.

In Washington what is being widely canvassed and openly is the outcome where Australia gets no submarines at all [...]

How anybody would think this was a smart deal to do is completely beyond me."

Before the eyes of the world:

Israel is dropping bombs near Beirut’s International Airport as planes full of civilians prepare to take off.

Imagine the global uproar if such a scene took place in Ukraine. But since it’s happening in Lebanon, no one even bats an eyelash.

[Quentin Dempster @QuentinDempster]

Breaking: Simon Holmes à Court is NOT a billionaire. And Minister Don Farrell is not really interested in enhancing representative democracy through crowd funding meritorious independents now challenging the deeply cynical/corruptible duopoly.

[💦Christopher Prince @zinifax]

@mormorlady Doing the same...let me look.

[Mark Ogge @MarkOgge]

Chevron’s income selling Australian gas last year was $33 BILLION.

They got virtually all the gas for free (didn’t pay royalties), and paid $0 PRRT

Now they’re cutting jobs

Dear ⁦@NACCgovau⁩ Commissioner Paul Brereton. You misrepresent NACC supporters as only wanting ‘scalps’. We want fair investigation to expose corrupt practices so Australian taxpayers can TRUST their government. Can’t you see that?
