When is an illegal war morally defensible? Some illegal uses of force have been judged morally defensible, as in Kosovo in 1999. But the US–Israel war on Iran fails that test – lacking lawful authority, credible motives and a plausible path to...

China waits and watches as the US fights all its tigers at once The US–Israeli war with Iran has shattered Washington’s hope of concentrating its power on containing China. Instead, the United States is entangled in multiple conflicts while Beijing gains strategic...

"Beijing occupies the strategic high ground, observing with calibrated detachment as its principal rival grapples with self-created challenges. The philosophy is not one of passive inertia, but of active, poised restraint."

Governments have gone all-out to suppress, marginalise and lie about us. But the movement just grows and grows.

Jeremy Corbyn • @jeremycorbyn • 1d $ ... We cannot let Keir Starmer drag this country into another illegal war. That's why I tabled a Bill to require Parliamentary approval for the foreign use of British bases. Today, I urged the Prime Minister to fulfill the promise he made in 2020 and pass this legalisation, now.

They were terrified of this guy because of the social forces he unlocked, quite accidentally. But he’s a letter-writing, petition collecting kind of politician, he thinks he’s there to enable others. A proper populist monster would lay waste to the British political landscape.

MPs warn Keir Starmer’s decisions could drag Britain into “illegal and catastrophic war with Iran” : Peoples Dispatch British parliamentarians condemn Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s decisions, warning they could drag the country into “catastrophic war with Iran.”

British parliamentarians condemn PM Keir Starmer’s decisions, warning they could drag the country into “catastrophic war with Iran.”

Despite all this, Starmer continues to insist that the “special relationship” between Britain and the US – if strained – is working out to the country’s benefit.

The first species on earth to know and predict our own demise.

Extraordinary to be reading in the media about our chances of surviving a global nuclear war... 43 years post "The Day After" and terrifying another generation.

We are the dumbest species to ever walk the planet, and that includes cockroaches.

Hands off our universities.

Labor needs to go if it continues to act like Liberals and adopt ultra conservative policies.

What has Israel done for Australia but divide us?

Segal knew what she was after:

“In 2023, Craven described the Go8 universities in the Australian as “elitist”, “self-interested” in one column, and as “greedy” institutions that have “dissed Western civilisation, minimised antisemitism and genuflected to Trotskyist student unions” in another.”

even with the ensloppification of most search engines, it is not hard to find out why Craven did not serve out his full third term as VC at ACU. He also worked closely with Julian Leeser to try and make the 2023 referendum question even more conservative.

"We would consider Greg Craven to be first choice for this project given his standing both as a former university administrator and as a respected jurist." Three weeks later, Craven was sent a commonwealth contract for the $232,466 role, with his term to last until 30 June 2027.

this statement from the ASECA office is misleading on multiple levels.

Three consultancies and two law firms were approached ahead of Craven.

His (third renewal) ACU VC appointment was due to run to Dec 2022 - he “stepped down” in Jan 2021.

“Jurist” does NOT mean judge.

Jillian Segal’s office hand-picked candidate to assess controversial university antisemitism report card Greg Craven, a former vice-chancellor of Australian Catholic University, chosen after no other bids made for the tender

nobody wanted to touch the universities “antisemitism report card” until Greg Craven was tapped.

There are only two types of people who love war. Those who don’t have to fight in them and those who profit from them. And they are very often the same people.

The reserve will remain closed until 12 March at least.
Many of our roads are still flooded and/or badly damaged by the unprecedented amount of rain. We have not seen a rainfall event of the magnitude for several decades ... fantastic for the landscape and environment.

Just because someone does not believe in your god, it does not give you the right to kill them.

There were 129 journalists killed around the world in 2025. Two-thirds (86) were slain by the Israeli military, a new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists found, per the WashPost:

Electrifying all road freight between Sydney and Melbourne is a no brainer: The payback is less than 4 years The economic case for electric trucks in Australia has become outstandingly clear over the past couple of years, and the payback period is just two to four years.

Makes sense for Australia in so many ways #auspol

“Battery powered trucks that can carry 60 tonnes already exist, and are purpose designed with 450 km plus of range and are capable of being recharged in an hour. They are better than diesel trucks in every way”

Crowd of Phil Scott supporters during 2025 Federal election

With polls not far off closing in Nightcliff, well done to @philscott4nc.bsky.social on an exceptional campaign in a very short by-election.

We really need to get money out of politics. When Gina and Co are excluded from influencing outcomes, we might get a decent result. Till then "Maintain the rage".
