Protesters defy Queensland government’s attacks on free speech More than 100 people rallied outside Queensland parliament, with fewer than 24 hours notice, against the Liberal-National government’s planned attacks on free speech. Kerry Smith reports.

Protesters held signs reading “From the River to the Sea” — a Palestine freedom slogan and one of the phrases the government wants banned in its bill presented to parliament that day. www.greenleft.org.au/2026/1448/ne...

PM offers Trump unconditional support for any plans to declare war on Australia

“We pre-emptively back any potential pre-emptive self defence operations the US feels is necessary," said Albanese chaser.com.au/national/pm-...

Labor insiders on ISIS brides: ‘What we’re doing qualifies as cruelty’ The political firestorm over the repatriation of the 34 women and children in a Syrian camp erupts after years of vacillation on the issue by the prime minister.

The dilemma Albanese described in opposition and early in government remains the same: whether to manage the return of Australian citizens under Australian law or to leave them in unstable camps overseas and accept the risks that come with a loss of control. satpa.pe/Rc3TSB8

Russia accuses Ukraine of drone strike on LNG tanker A Russian tanker carrying liquefied natural gas has sunk in the Mediterranean after what Moscow has described as an attack by Ukrainian drones.

As a middle power, Australia should be careful what it wishes for when it comes to an illegal war with Iran | Andrew Wilkie I resigned from the intelligence services over the fraudulent case for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. And I see some alarming parallels with this case * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Despite the blatant obfuscation by the Australian government and the opposition, the US-Israel war on Iran is illegal. To have legal grounds for the use of force, a country must be acting in self-defence in response to an attack or imminent attack, or be acting with the express approval of the UN security council. Andrew Wilkie is the independent member for Clark Continue reading...

This time it would be accurate. Carney is the based alpha who understands the new world order, and albo is the cringe coward beta who supports war in Iran

Close them down - all private schools.
They suck taxpayer dollars from public education and breed privilege contempt, division.

Exclusive: Government spends $41m on consent education with no framework Four years after promising a framework on consent education in schools, the government is still sitting on a key report and its working group has lost half its members.

Exclusive: States and territories have spent more than half the $83.5 million Commonwealth funding for consent and respectful relationships education without the framework that was meant to set standards and ensure work adhered to the evidence base. satpa.pe/s6HbIa6

How much work is "maybe" doing?

Australian PM Anthony Albanese gave Donald Trump model nuclear submarine on gold plate at White House Exclusive: Prime minister also presented Melania Trump with a $3,000 Paspaley pearl pendant Anthony Albanese gave Donald Trump a gift of a model nuclear submarine with gold plates and finishes, internal documents reveal, during his visit to the White House last year which sealed the president’s support for the Aukus pact. The prime minister also presented Trump’s wife Melania with a $3,000 Paspaley pearl pendant. Continue reading...

WA subs base the only reason for AUKUS

"How can our politicians sustain their faith in AUKUS and not be rightly labelled as delusional?" asks Albert Palazzo. "The answer to this contradiction lies in recognising what AUKUS is really about…" satpa.pe/bfZfFB4

Do they send you the necessary equipment to do it at home?
Can you ask a friendly neighbour to help?

I would die happy if the last words I heard were Zelenskyy telling Trump "you just don't have the cards, ok?"

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

This private school tripled in size in five years — a trend playing out nationwide The latest schools data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a tinderbox of problems that experts warn could explode with growing pressure on household budgets.

Take all the money we put into private schools and put it into public schools.

Problem solved.

Public ed is good for social cohesion. Public funding for religious private schools divides us.
It's extremely depressing how our system & pol leaders encourage a belief that sending your kids to private, esp "Christian" schools gives them a better future. We need pride & investment in public ed

When you attack someone in their own country, they will fight to the very end. The attacker/invader not so much. Is it such a hard lesson to learn? Apparently.

And they best result for all those troops (and thousands slaughtered) was
1 draw
2 losses

I've long since learned its not about winning a war, its about CONTINUING with more wars

The Military Industrial complex profits from them and troops are used to test new weapons in readiness for the next war

Oh, they changed the regimes in all of those long wars.

Just not in the way they had wished for!

Maybe this time they are hoping evangelical prayers will do the job? 🤦‍♂️
