This moment from Feb 2025 may go down as one of the most prescient exchanges in modern diplomatic history. Zelenskyy warned Trump that while the United States may feel protected by an ocean today, a time could come when America would need help in war. Trump scolded him instead.
If I wanted to subscribe to one independent media organisation- who would you recommend?
This made the letters to the Age today
"We call on the Australian Government to establish a parliamentary inquiry into the #AUKUS security pact, in line with Australia’s national security and best interests."

Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network “Advance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US.
This is where we are, Australia’s MAGA.
NACC slop giving AI slop a run for its money!
He’s so close to getting it
Being "quietly alarmed" is what the moderate Liberals used to do all the time, right up until they all lost their seats. Grow a spine or don't bother.
Highly recommend - but a warning, it will make your blood boil.
The NACC continues to be a joke
Increasingly clear that the future of the species hinges on the American/Israeli empire collapsing before the climate does
It will be historically significant that the Albanese government decided to spend its enormous political capital not on addressing systemic inequality but on mindless fealty to the demands of the United States and Israel. That is how it'll be remembered.
The NACC has been an utter waste of public money. Its sole achievement so far is to further persuade everyone that consequence-free corruption and bastardry are fixed features of government in this country.
He's just sent us to war, people can't afford normal things, and billionaires are encouraging the racists to go fkn nuts while we get robbed. How is this different to "Scomo's" curry, Bunnings and Sharkies posting? These pricks are popped out of the same mold in the same factory.
What a fucking crock.
Two mid-level officials found to be corrupt by the NACC, but the big guns get off scot-free forever.
And no-one will be charged because the NACC isn’t referring anything to the DPP.
So that’s it.
Everyone walks away, no one who was responsible for the worst govt malfeasance in the country’s history - costing lives and billions of $ - will ever face justice.
The NACC is for covering up corruption.
Robodebt flourished because of a political & media culture that stigmatises income support recipients. It was a failure in public sector leadership & culture in key departments. Labor must implement all 57 recommendations of the Robodebt RC to ensure Robodebt never happens again.
This outcome by the NACC amounts to nothing more than a slap on the wrist for those found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct and intentionally misleading the Cabinet and Commonwealth Ombudsman. Australians will be rightly outraged by this lack of accountability.
Robodebt was the worst failure of public administration in Australian history. It raised est. $1.73 bn of illegitimate debts from over 430,000 vulnerable Australians and plunged thousands of families into distress and grief. And still no real consequences.

Just noticed your name change LOL. Love it!
Nothing so disappointing as being let down by a bloke who you thought got it.
The announcement today from the Albanese Labor Government to send an E-7A Wedgetail aircraft to the Gulf and provide medium-range air-to-air missiles to the UAE shows Australia has been fully dragged into another US forever war.
What else did Trump discuss with Albanese - and what did Albanese say yes to?
Albanese always says ‘yes’ to the worst people #auspol
The working class pay the price when political “ leaders” abandon principles, and fail to call out the madness consuming the US and Israeli regimes.
The political elite will not bear the brunt of rising prices, unaffordable petrol, food and electricity embattled Aussies will!
Australia would be signed up to Iran war ‘by deception and stealth’ if military support sent, Shoebridge says
We now see you for what you are. The three war parties: One Nation, the Coalition and Labor who have never seen a US war they don't want to back in. Millions of Australians disagree with you. They want a government of principle, they want a government of peace.
🤣
Penny Wong deploying her considerable intellectual and political skills on #Insiders.
Unfortunately they are being put to a cause that does not promote peace common sense and our sovereignty.
We are being sucked into war and no amount of verbal gymnastics can hide this reality.
