AUKUS drags Australia towards US-Israel war on Iran The Australian government has been trying to placate Trump in order to secure the AUKUS submarine deal – and now we are seeing the results.

AUKUS makes Australian participation in US wars the default position:

Dr Emma Shortis and Ebony Bennett discuss the illegal US-Israel war in Iran, and why Australian personnel were aboard the US sub that sank an Iranian warship.

One Rule for Some. Another for the Rest of Us. One teenager. Fifteen police officers. Six words on a singlet. And the architects of Robodebt still walking free. How did we get here - and what do we do about it?

One Rule for Some. Another for the Rest of Us.
This week an eighteen-year-old was arrested by fifteen police officers in Brisbane for wearing a singlet bearing six words.

The architects of Robodebt have faced no charges. Not one. Not ever.

Highlighting Husic pointed to research from The Australia Institute, Ed Husic showed Parliament that roughly 30% of Australia’s gas exports are not required to meet existing contracts.

“These facts will stun Australians,” Husic said.

It's a damn disgrace & sets a precedent that gives public servants & elected reps the confidence to do bad things & feel safe from any consequences. Terrible outcome. NACC itself is tarnished beyond repair.

If this level of corruption was proven against any "a person in the street" they would be facing serious prison time

Scomo off the Robodebt hook - Michael West The NACC delivered its report into Robodebt referrals today. Scott Morrison and Stephanie Foster found not to be corrupt.

Just goes to prove that when more than one person's to blame, no-one's at fault.

This is our version of the Post Office Scandal - and it is a disgrace that we can't hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions or inactions.

Former spy chief quits royal commission into antisemitism and Bondi attack Just a fortnight after its opening hearing, Dennis Richardson has resigned without any explanation

No explanation? Because he can't say it's a Zionist sham?

Being unequivocally against Zionist Israel’s genocide is what is needed, as you well know. The stance of this government in its complicity with the Israel genocide and allowing Zionists to manipulate the laws affecting we, the people, is simply intolerable and outrageous.

Robodebt architects get away scot-free; dodgy welfare compliance and debt recovery continues | The Australian Greens The Greens say the results of the NACC investigation into the illegal Robodebt scheme will be cold comfort to the thousands of Australians whose lives were destroyed by one of the biggest scandals in ...

We demanded a Robodebt RC. Six culprits identified. Nothing happened.

We demanded a corruption watchdog. Nothing happened.

We elected Labor with a mandate to arrest Robodebt architects.

Our parliament knows the culprits' names.

So why don't we just demand their arrests?

Robodebt was the great test of Australia’s accountability mechanisms – and they failed The final report into the Centrelink debt recovery process that wreaked havoc on the vulnerable is not the full-stop many wanted. It has not restored the trust that was so fundamentally broken

Victims, families of the dead, advocates, online campaigners, academics, lawyers, politicians and social services groups – they’ve all been clear-eyed about the need for justice.

At each stage in this sprawling tale, they’ve been left disappointed.

Single frame. Title: “Meanwhile, in a Syrian refugee camp”. Scene is refugee camp in washed out colour with tents, adult and child carrying babs in background. Foreground: woman in robe and hijab holding a soccer ball speaks to three young children saying, “Pay attention kids. This could be our only hope.”

Game of hope.

A confusing time to live in.

QLD Police arrested two protestors calling for the liberation of Palestinians.

Meanwhile, our PM and Premiers welcomed Israeli President Herzog with open arms, even though he’s committing a genocide as we speak.

At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. A dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.
