Yep, thanks to Albo and, particularly, Marles, Australia is now considered a "dependant" of USA.
AND it is only costing us $368B - what a bargain 😑🀬

Man from high-profile Victorian family found guilty of rape A County Court jury finds a man guilty of two charges of raping a woman in his home after a night of drinking with friends.

The alleged rapist has been found guilty. Why does his name continue to be suppressed? Is it because he comes from a rich family (obviously with contacts)?

"Israel is a sick, dysfunctional and twisted entity, a military apparatus masquerading as a State, concentrating the worst poison of capitalist logic in a single region, at the upper threshold of which is fascism, Israelis doing to the Palestinians what the Germans did once upon a time to the Jews."

US submarines carrying nuclear weapons could dock in Australia despite ban, Senate told Defence secretary appears to contradict previous assurances from Penny Wong that only conventionally armed submarines will visit Australian ports under Aukus deal

Richard Marles is a menace. He makes Australia and Australians less safe every single day he remains in office.

Does anyone watch Find My Beach House on Channel 9? Yep, I know, but nothing else on! Tonight, we're in Manly (Sydney) and the prospective owners are being shown shacks at $8M. I FIND THAT BOTH OBSCENE AND OFFENSIVE! I'm not jealous, I simply cannot comprehend someone spending $8M on a house.

Pentagon review finds areas to put AUKUS on 'strongest possible footing' The review has "identified opportunities to put AUKUS on the strongest possible footing", the Pentagon says. But a congressman who has seen the report says it "fully endorses" the pact.

I would clarify what the 'America First' agenda entailed. At this point in time I question whether we have the same values, and further, what is the compromise to our sovereignty???

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin GardaΓ­ are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Zelensky's plane targeted!

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelensky’s plane as it landed in Dublin & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone.

These seemingly hostile drones only missed Zelensky’s plane because he was unexpectedly early.

How Israel avoided Eurovision ouster and the diplomatic push that changed the vote Israel’s delegation mounted an intensive lobbying effort in Geneva, backed by a special team formed by President Herzog, as the EBU advanced new rules critics said targeted Israel

Israel has remained in #Eurovision due to a months-long campaign co-ordinated by the Israeli president. From his house.

But, y'know, guys. No politics in Eurovision.

Utterly ludicrous. The govt has now promised to cap its stadium spend at $875m, which is half a billion more than the cap it promised at the election. Watch it blow out every few months from now on…
And where are they going to reduce their other borrowings from? TT-Line??

Jet-setting eSafety Commissioner bills taxpayers millions The eSafety Commissioner, Julie Inman Grant, and her staff have racked up millions in taxpayer-funded travel since her appointment to the role in 2017.

The eSafety (sic) Commissioner has taken 22 overseas trips, apparently unaware you can use the internet to talk to people that aren't in the room with you. www.skynews.com.au/australia-ne...

Admiral Bradley is set to brief Congress tomorrow on the boat strikesβ€”

Which brings Admiral Holsey’s recent resignation to mind, after he informed Hegseth that he had no intention of carrying out an illegal order after 40 years of service in the U.S. Navyβ€”
