A strong believer in democracy and the citizen's right to disagree. A proud NIMBY in reply to the Tasmanian minister for local government who wants control over planning to be in his hands. Government Planning? Like the ferries? Like the stadium?

So 3 Australian personnel were on the US war ship which dropped a torpedo on an Iranian vessel which was accompanying an Indian vessel - and the people from the Iranian vessel were deliberately left for dead.

Is this right? #auspol

Who profits from the war Albanese is backing? The billionaires & corporations who profit from oil & weapons manufacturing. For them, war is a business model. Meanwhile every day people pay with their lives. Labor cannot continue to support Trump & Netanyahu's illegal war!

Trump is very busy ensuring that terrorism around the world will be stronger in the future. So many victims with no other recourse to US and Israeli aggression.

When you set aside all the gaslighting, you are left with two inarguable facts:

1. Iran was not an imminent threat.
2. Since Iran was not an imminent threat, Trump’s actions were illegal and unconstitutional.

It really is that simple.

Ah yes, cutting funding to Muslim groups because of a social media post by the far-right Australian Jewish Association. The textbook definition of social cohesion

It's an affront to our collective intelligence and empathy that indie journalists need to run around proving various bombed schools and hospitals aren't harbouring "terrorists". You should instinctively know that's nonsense and that American and Israeli regimes are FUCKING EVIL

Albanese Supported An Illegal War With No Clear Objective or End. It's A Grim New Low the Albanese government didn’t even know the reason for the war, let alone whether it was unlawful – but they supported it anyway.

ABC talking head John Erath from the USA pontificating about nuclear weapons, talks about the potential danger and balance of countries holding nuclear weapons without once mentioning the biggest and most unstable nuclear weapon holder; Israel. On the payroll?

Important piece by Thomas Mayo (if you can get past the paywall). I feel culpable in this myself. This begs the question of the Royal Commission being called into one kind of racism alone, while we blithely walk by another so common as to be almost banal. themonthly-admin/march-2026/n...

Australia is particularly sensitive to oil price increasess due to the Middle East Attack by Netanyahu and his boy, but also due to low oil stocks. But didn't Angus Taylor set up overseas storage of oil when he was a Morrison fan? As well as our water and tax money that he sent offshore for safety?

Release Epstein files over there and release the identities of the six individuals in the sealed section of the ROBODEBT royal commission. The alternative shows both government's corruption.

I just want to live in a country where the leader can’t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.
