How did that go for Iraq

Greens are united on this, I am leading as Foreign Affairs spokesperson but I know all my colleagues will speak to this in the chamber today and with any media that will listen.

We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.

What a horrific mess the US and its toadies have unleashed in the Middle East. Again. Careless of the lives lost, the children killed and the broken countries they leave behind.

Greens say no war with Iran as Albanese’s Labor issues support of Trump and Netanyahu’s illegal attacks

I remember how the “shock and awe” of the US attack on Iraq ended in decades of broken cities, broken people and broken promises. Trump’s and Netanyahu’s bombs today can only produce more of this in Iran. Australia must reject this illegal attack.

Israel’s endless war continues with more bombing of Iran and the Iranian people. Whether Iran, Iraq, Palestine, Yemen or Lebanon the region has experienced repeated Israeli and western killings and invasions and it always pushes peace away. The world must act to end the killing, stop the bombing.

Yes true they say ethics but are already embedded in the Pentagon and throughout the US military. That’s the reality. But here they have shown at least drawn a line.

Anthropic says it has higher ethical standards but it was already embedded in the US military. We have to ask what are the ethical lines that the US under Trump is now demanding they cross? It is genuinely frightening.

So Anthropic, not known for its ethical boundaries, said no to automated killing and secret military mass surveillance, which was too much for Trump. Can we agree now that the US is not sharing our values and we should decouple from the mass surveillance automated killing team?

Police foil alleged terror attack plan on public buildings Police have charged a 20-year-old man they allege was planning a "mass casualty" terror attack targeting public buildings and Muslim places of worship in Western Australia.

A white supremicist has targeted the Muslim community and public figures. At the same time we have politicians and right wing media targeting the Muslim community, and public figures including politicians who protest alongside them for justice. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

BREAKING: UK Greens smash Reform and Labor to win the by-election in Manchester. This is real momentum and it’s how we defeat the racist right across the globe, with hope and confidence we can build a brighter and fairer future. 💚💚💚

AI is making bank for a handful of billionaires by wiping out hundreds of millions of jobs and sabotaging tax revenues. WiseTech is a symptom of this.

This means we need to start thinking early about radical solutions that put humans and the planet first.

Regenvanu urges support after US climate rejection - ABC Pacific Vanuatu's Climate Envoy Ralph Regenvanu is urging countries to stay engaged, after the United States pushed for Vanuatu to withdraw a UN motion supporting a landmark climate ruling.

This is a test for the Albanese Government, do we back in our neighbours and actually try to address the climate crisis.

It do we side with Trump... again

Iran faces renewed student protests in Tehran as new semester begins Renewed student protests erupt at Tehran universities as a new semester begins, reviving slogans from recent unrest and highlighting growing tensions.View on euronews

Even after tens of thousands were killed in mass murders by the Iranian regime, these incredibly brave students are still taking to the streets.

More power to them! We need to hear their calls for self-determination and justice, not domestic or foreign domination.

We need a Human Rights Act.

‘I just want to be free’: Australian children held in Syrian camp reveal their hopes and dreams Exclusive: As debate rages over their return, children of Australian women with Islamic State links dream of ice-cream, Bluey and not living in a tent

You can read more here, then please don’t be silent. Let Labor, the Coalition and One Nation know they don’t speak for you when they demonise and harm children for their politics. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Children, when you hear their voices, are just that, children with hopes, dreams and rights. This is true in Syria or Sydney. We need to bring these Australian children home to let them live lives filled with hope and promise.

The UN has warned of total collapse in Cuba. This is deliberate punishment imposed by the most powerful nation on earth on one of its poorest neighbours that dares to have a different political system. Australia should not stay silent while bully USA starves the people of Cuba.

The US is not only sanctioning third countries that send oil to Cuba, but even those who receive Cuban trained doctors. Cuban medical teams for decades have provided essential international medical aid, now that’s also a crime under US law.

Australian media isn’t covering this but what’s happening in Cuba is dreadful. Trump signed an executive order cutting off Cuba’s last oil supply. Ten million people are paying with their lives. Sewage systems are failing, food is rationed, it’s getting worse.

No charges, posters to be returned to Canberra bar after seizures under new hate laws A Canberra bar owner will not be charged with breaching Commonwealth hate laws for displaying posters depicting world leaders and a billionaire in Nazi-like uniforms.

Labor and the Coalition’s new hate laws mean you are guilty until proven innocent - this is not how a free society is meant to work www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

It's no accident this is fuelling the US military when underneath so many AI deployments is the unrelenting military appetite for surveillance, targeting and power.

It absolutely is

It’s absolutely obscene

The Epstein files name prominent Australians and senior US and UK officials.

I’m calling on the Australian Government to order an independent review for survivors, for accountability, and for our national security.

No one is above the law. Full statement 👇

Yes the disrespect is enormous and entrenched

Supporting removing Prince Andrew from the line of succession is good but what would be better is removing Australia from an inherited dynasty of wealth and privilege that protected him and his class for far too long

There is a world where all Australians are treated equally, not separated into classes based on skin colour, and we don't waste billions on submarines.

But as Labor shows here, they have no interest in cleaning up anything.
