AUKUS. Deal of the century! ... For the Americans - Michael West Trump has indicated the US will proceed with AUKUS. Good news for the US, serious consequences for Australia.

Trump has given #AUKUS the OK. Why wouldn’t he; it’s the deal of the century for the US. For Australia, it’s a huge national security blunder that’ll see a slide in our defence capabilities and even greater reliance on the US, which we’ll pay for. #auspol

Lying or deficient in economic intelligence. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes that is 2nd in the whole world.

The IMF reports on 191 countries.

We are also only 1 of 7 out 191 countries with a "AAA" credit rating.

Better than the USA etc.

So, if the media, the Libs, the Nats, One Nation, are saying things are bad in Oz, I think we can safely assume they are lying.

Ed Husic, Labor MP, made some great points on Afternoon Briefing yesterday.

"The reason why prices are so high is because we export a phenomenal amount of gas."

We can remedy supply constraints without opening new gas projects by diverting uncontracted gas to the domestic market.

When Labor and Liberals sit down to settle environment laws, there is an invisible but powerful presence in the room with them: the fossil fuel lobby.

Precisely why the 'two-party system' is so toxic for the national interest. #ClimateCrisis #auspol

screenshot from link up thread starting from “Australia calls on all parties … risks to their safety”. The risk, which is Israelis, goes unnamed.

Australia calls on unarmed civilians sailing lawfully in international waters and upholding international law, namely the convention on prevention of genocide, and Israelis committing an aggressive illegal military attack to respect international law [paraphrased] can they fucking hear themselves?

The Saturday Paper can reveal that the prime minister and other ministers from NSW intervened in cabinet to constrain the operations of the country’s leading integrity body. Read more: satpa.pe/iH3a9VJ

Federal government agreed to weaken proposed protections for rock art from Woodside’s North West Shelf project Document outlines negotiations over contentious extension of gas giant’s development after conditional approval in May

www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Minister acknowledged decision not to require immediate cuts in acidic pollution meant there was a higher likelihood of rock art being affected “in the short-term”, but any impact “would be small and therefore outweighed by the social or economic factors”.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Video shows the moment Israeli forces opened fire at Palestinian journalists in Gaza as they were conducting an interview.

Trump on Hyundai raid: "We had as I understand it a lot of illegal aliens. Some not the best of people. But we had a lot of illegal aliens working there ... That's what they have to do."

Sorry, what?

I would invite you to pause on the assertion that he thinks 'they lost Russia'.

Russia, really? You 'had' Russia before?

That's a tactic admission of collusion, AT LEAST.

He's such a buffoon.

So sad

Ombudsman 'a promising step' to protect whistleblowers A proposed whistleblower ombudsman could provide more support for those who expose corruption, but human rights advocates want...

Following last week’s inquiry report into a xbench bill for a Whistleblower Protection Authority, it’s good to see the Govt propose an ombudsman to support whistleblowers.

I’ll keep advocating for a dedicated Authority & reforms to protect whistleblowers.

Oh yes please. It will also give smaller businesses a chance to tender if the Big 4 are knocked out for this type of behaviour
