One 'One Battle After Another' After Another
First poll about Aus attitudes to Iran war I have seen, but second Q wording is debatable. Some respondents would agree the Gulf states are indirectly "in conflict with Iran", others would say they are being unilaterally attacked by it.
I really doubt it man
The level of reading comprehension on this site is genuinely appalling
This is shocking
Wow. Benjamin Netanyahu has died, according to some posts on social media which I personally read earlier today.
I'm cheering against him sorry
They've specifically said they oppose that regime and that they support the war on the basis of opposing the regime on the basis of the regime's actions in Australia. They have not opposed changing the regime.
Whole chunks of Campbell's evidence are taken at pure face value. Not even in the 'I've weighed this and considered it' sense but in the 'just state it as fact in passing' sense. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...

Opinion | "Morrison was the cabinet minister responsible for both Social Services and DHS matters, and if he was a “junior” minister in the Coalition government, then he was also seen as its biggest conservative rising star," writes @squigglyrick.bsky.social.

The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...

Wow, turns out reducing all opposition to the war to jealous 'Labor-bashing' is not an oversimplification and is actually hard-nosed realistic geopolitical analysis
This isn't a clear difference at all sorry, neither legally or politically. You should argue for your position instead of from an authority you can't prove.
It is in fact quite possible for reasonable minds to differ on this point, isn't it?
What evidence is there that they're unhappy with it? It's 100% on you to demonstrate this.
“Kilgour displays a naive understanding of the real-life behaviour of senior public servants, wondering aloud in her official report how or why such officials could ever do the wrong thing while at times finding they did just that.” @squigglyrick.bsky.social slams NACC’s “baffling” robodebt report
Just realised they could have gone with 'Old Man's Old Man Also Old Man'
Writing exclusively for Crikey today, Rick Morton tears into the NACC's long-awaited robodebt report that exonerated Scott Morrison and Kathryn Campbell.

I feel like we were told repeatedly that this doesn't matter at all as long as we're having a crack
Scoop: Three months into Australia's ban, new data given to Crikey suggests that most teens who were on social media pre-ban are still on those platforms.
While it's just one data point, it adds to early evidence suggesting that there's widespread flouting of the ban.

Pro-Violence Jesus Christ appeared to me in a dream last night and told me that due to logistical concerns his glorious return is now contigent on occupying the Iranian coast in order to reopen the Strait of Hormuz

Terrible name. I will be calling this 'Operation Labubu Shield'
If Hitler lived to see this he probably would have been like 'Noooooooo! My bunker!'
Nothing this government does occurs with any scope for wiggle room or unexpected outcomes. I watched them control the Robodebt Royal Commission by giving them a series of short deadlines and extensions at their leisure. I can tell you everyone there wanted another three months and lost the argument.
Can I just say in relation to this: there's a fucking war on, and we are litigating our support for that war by way of unproven allegations by ASIO. To be more invested in delivering recommendations next Hanukkah than at the next available opportunity is beyond asinine it is seriously dangerous.
As I have said—a Royal Commission should take as long as it takes, as the truth does not care about politically-suspect deadlines, or the pride any Commissioner may take in meeting them.
