"Is Australia spending enough on defence?" is the wrong question.
Should be: 'What are our strategic needs?' [and it's not #AUKUS]
And BTW, how come we rarely ask: 'Are we spending enough on alleviating poverty and ending homelessness?' #auspol

Well, JPMorgan’s chief economist Bruce Kasman certainly sounds cheery.

I spoke to a German lawyer representing clients in a range of deportation cases & free speech cases stemming from Germany’s criminalization of speech against Israel’s war on Gaza. Striking how similar Trump’s emerging tactics are to Germany’s. Watch below 👇

Many countries are forced to choose between paying debt or feeding their people. 💰💔
This is not a fair system. Food must come first. No one should go hungry because of global debt rules.

Look at the rubbish that leads the duopoly … near 55 years of Parliament between them and not a single policy that will structurally advance the lives of Australians in any way.
All they have are war toys, a lack of transparency & corruption.
Don’t vote for this shit.

Israel killed two more journalists in Gaza, Hossam Shabat and Mohammed Mansour, and then Israeli settlers assaulted No Other Land director Hamdan Ballal in the West Bank and handed him over to Israeli soldiers who abducted him to an unknown location. Because Israel hates truth.
