Dear Australians.
How's this for an idea?
Let's stop walking into the polling booth and voting for people who do the most terrible things to us.
It really is up to us.
From your fellow Australians #auspol
why on earth would one of the most militarised parts of the planet require Australian assistance with an attack weapon and a posse of blokes???? It's performative - again - and dangerously so
Sums up Albanese in a sentence
Richard Marles lets down every Australian by gaslighting us about Trump and Netanyahu's war.
He's a powerful and dangerous politician - and we'll all be safer when he no longer makes decisions for us #auspol #qt
The Australia I'm working for shows empathy & compassion for all asylum seekers - not just those where it's politically convenient to do so
We also look after Australian citizens overseas & those wanting to come home from war zones inc 23 women & children in Syria #auspol #qt
I know there's a bit going on, but over at my newsletter I offered a few thoughts about how climate change is killing the Liberal Party and what its recent election autopsy reveals about how it is grappling this dilemma.
Spoiler: it's not.
Me in @crikey.com.au today:
Albanese leveraged high profile young women to build his reputation as a leader who "got it". Now those same women tell me they feel the trust is gone, they've lost their patience and believe the PM's mask has slipped.

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
This is the real price of petrol.
Leave it in the ground so others can simply live.
This needs more attention. The guys who drove the Iraq invasion after 9/11 are back advising Trump on #Iran.
