Trump and Vance are the great radicalizers. What they are saying and doing will radicalize more people than a million NGOs.#AusPol

Here's an easy way to brief yourself on the $368 billion AUKUS fiasco. The book I won the Walkley award for is now available on audio. www.audible.co.uk/webplayer?as...

Australia certainly needs a full independent inquiry. Those who secretly created this diaster need to be held to account.

Breakfast - ABC listen Kick start your morning with irreverent musings and all the information you need for the day ahead.

How was Assange sprung from the UK’s highest security prison? Listen to the 6.35 am interview on shorturl.at/UgdUt

A high recommendation indeed from a great editor. Thanks Katie! @katiemelb.bsky.social

I am afraid we will have to disagree about this. I hope they are freed soon, but I am doubtful this will happen.

Unfortunately this not about the terrible plight of the hostages. If only it were that simple.

Criticizing Israel is not anti-Jewish . But every decent person should stand against what the Netanyahu government is doing.

Your feeble attempt to belittle is as inane as your comment.

We do not have free speech in Australia. That’s not always a bad thing, but it can restrict open and meaningful discussion.

If the Zionist Federation of Australia had any good conscience it would drop its prosecution of journalist Mary Kostakidis for her comments about Gaza. Designed, it appears, to bully and intimidate other journalists into silence, it's not working. @marykostakidis.bsky.social #auspol

Israel concedes error in video claiming to show Hamas tunnels under hospital The Israeli military says a video it released that claimed to show Hamas-built tunnels underneath a southern Gaza hospital actually show different buildings.

What a shocking attack. The Israeli government must be held accountable. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05...

You’re right.

the US

Andrew Hastie’s comments suggest he’s having second thoughts. If the LNP had any sense the inquiry could be bi-partisan since you US can no longer be trusted.

Australian voters determined they are skeptical of the US. Now Labor has the time/ freedom to dump the AUKUS subs program - and fully investigate the disaster before it sinks them. @turnbullmalcolm.bsky.social #auspol #aukus @emmashortis.bsky.social

No Aussie sovereignty, no submarines but all the way with the USA. Labor’s Mr Fix-it Dennis Richardson has lost the plot on AUKUS.: Australia should persist with Auk-us despite risk of US relationship ‘becoming unstuck’, former defence department secretary says #malcolmturnbull

There needs to be a full inquiry into the unmitigated disaster of AUKUS. Bob Carr says Aukus a ‘colossal surrender of sovereignty’ if submarines do not arrive under Australian control

Thanks! I found the correct version.

Is anyone else getting crazy cuts (of people coloring in cartoons) in the middle of The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC as she continues to skewer the Trump administration? @maddow.msnbc.com

It's our budget special this week! Watch the #SundayShot for expert analysis from panellists @grogsgamut.bsky.social and @nickihutley.bsky.social and interviews with @squigglyrick.bsky.social and @theacoss.bsky.social's Cassandra Goldie.

We'll likely know the election date by then too...

Your rights are being eroded so Israel can commit genocide without criticism  - The Shot Across the Western world, criticising Israel's genocide in Palestine is being stamped down. News laws and a culture of fear make it hard.

Antony Loewenstein nails it. “The idea of a Jewish state which gives superior rights to Jews above anybody else is by definition, discriminatory and by definition racist,” theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

As Trump pivots to Russia, allies weigh sharing less intel with U.S. Members of the so-called Five Eyes spy alliance, as well as Israeli and Saudi officials, fear the identities of foreign assets could inadvertently be shared with Moscow.

Australia among countries worried about sharing intelligece with the US, according to NBC

I suppose that was my point. PG provides intel. And Australia should decide too where it’s sent.

YouTube video by The Australia Institute Australians lack faith in Trump's America

The Australia-US alliance is meant to be built on "shared values".

But 31% of Aussies think Trump is the greatest threat to world peace - more than Putin or Xi.
