How in the fuck do we live in a world where Trump can openly fund a bloody genocidal war then later get praised for a ceasefire of the same bloody genocidal war?

High prices, looming ban factors in disappearance of sheep export ships Market dynamics are stopping live export ships from coming to WA for the rest of the year, raising the prospect of an official end to the trade years before a legislated ban is enforced.

NO LIVE EXPORTS FOR REMAINDER OF 2025

"No live export vessels are scheduled to take sheep from Australia to the Middle East for the rest of 2025, raising speculation an unofficial end to the trade could come ahead of a legislated ban in 2028."

AUKUS means we give bases to the Americans to use. This isnt making us safer! It’s making us a target! Fuck AUKUS off!

"our one big idea is to rebalance the tax system so that productivity gains are fairly shared, housing becomes more affordable, and essential services are properly funded."

Hardly radical.
Dispiriting that such basic principles need to be argued for at all. #inequality #auspol

Blowing up your small-town writers festival because your local university needs to crack down on free speech because there’s a genocide we can’t talk about is so utterly on-brand for Australian culture. Cowards and fools 3-deep at the canapés tray

So, we're just going to let Morrison enjoy his millions and his dregs continue to profit from their safe jobs and forget about ROBODEBT are we? The NACC is a sick joke. People died, but we'll just forget about it this time eh? Everyone should remind the politicians that we're waiting for justice.

The AUKUS Alliance: A Bad Deal for Australia Extensive concerns plague the AUKUS deal, highlighting the risks to Australia of this bad deal.

Morrison’s enthusiasm for AUKUS raises questions about potential conflicts of interest, particularly in light of his rapid transition to high-paying roles in the defence and strategic advisory industries after leaving politics.

Imagine if the 5 indis & 5 grns came together & said to Winter we will seek to form government. We will not "trade off on our policies"
Dean Winter you have 55% of the needed votes; no position to claim you will not trade off. Grow up. #politas

It's way past time this turnstile of gift stopped. In any commercial enterprise.
There MUST be a period before these appointments can be accepted. Insider knowledge and sphere of influence is gone. Likewise, opening the books on lobbying. Without these measures we remain open to corruption!

Caitlin says it well.

So on investigation, Stats NZ says butter prices rose 46.5% in the year to June. Meanwhile, ANZ's Commodity Indices shows the NZ dollar denominated measure of dairy prices rose 23.6% over the same period. Hopefully useful for a journalist asking Fonterra and/or Nicola Willis about butter prices.

"What's remarkable about AUKUS is it was signed up without even a formal cabinet brief.

"It was signed up without any kind of serious scrutiny, either from within Defence or within the Parliament."

When Obama warned against Brexit in 2016, the right screamed “foreign interference.”

Now Trump stands on Air Force One telling Starmer to “stop the boats” and “cut taxes” to beat Reform and they call it diplomacy.

'Never become casual': Scott Morrison's China warning at Congress hearing Scott Morrison appears before a committee of the US Congress to implore America to "never become casual" about the economic threats posed by China and its willingness to weaponise trade.

Insights from Australia's most inept PM who was successful in alienating China.

Morrison told the committee that the CCP was now using "inductive engagement laced with charm and flattery to try to manipulate Australia and isolate the US in the region." #auspol

I always thought Morrison was a fool now I know he is. Furthermore he would betray his own country to massage his ego.

Opinion | I Watched It Happen in Hungary. Now It’s Happening Here.

Former US ambassador to Hungary: "After years watching Hungary suffocate under the weight of its democratic collapse, I came to understand that the real danger of a strongman isn’t his tactics; it’s how others, especially those with power, justify their acquiescence." (h/t @bnovak.bsky.social)

Beijing punished Australia's loyalty to US, Scott Morrison tells Congress Scott Morrison appears before a committee of the US Congress to implore America to "never become casual" about the economic threats posed by China and its willingness to weaponise trade.

Morrison continues to lie and mislead. Invited to appear before a US committee he invented his evidence. He spoke about relations with China since 2022 after he was tossed from office. What a clown.
