"The (F-35) parts are then sent from Australian soil to Israel, but considered an export from the US, rather than Australia. Hey presto, hands washed – Australia never exported anything to Israel!"

Australia’s role in the F-35 supply chain – what a tangled web we weave! The government’s ducking and weaving about military exports to Israel went up a whole new notch this month, arguing in Senate estimates that just because something was shipped from Australia, doesn’t ...

"This appears to mean that while Australian companies proudly make the (F-35) parts, we then “supply” them to the US while they remain on Australian soil (at Williamstown warehouse)." (continued in comments)

This regime ought to be called "Fuckwits R Us" and criminally charged for having endangered the lives of civilians with a dumbass military stunt.

Labor’s 5% deposit scheme will only make the banks richer – and that’s the point The government’s new housing policy will see banks pocket billions in extra interest and saddle a generation with more debt

And the banks make out like bandits on billions of dollars worth of extra interest paid on 5% loans. Such a racket! Not an answer to the collapsing homeowner's market.

Kids my ass. These people are venomous members of a society that enculturates hate. THIS IS the Republican party written plain and in big letters so any idiot can read it. You Republican shits should be very proud of what you've fostered and homegrown. Terrorists for sure!

And today I lost her. She was 16 years old and suffered from multiple health conditions like cardiomyopathy, kidney disease and so, I am lucky to have had her for 4 more years longer than her prognosis was. Crash baby, I will miss you from now to eternity. She's gone gently into that good night.

"Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me." -- Martin Niemoller

So typical! Get rid of the symptom but ignore the source of the problem and carry on doing nothing to improve the situation. As long as the better-heeled public aren't offended or inconvenienced then your city is free to just obliterate the symptom of a failed society.

Strategic bases in foreign countries the US has historically protected is WHY there are bases all over the free world, including Australia. The time is past now that the US is an unreliable ally. Before that was not the case and so countries wanted the US bases for protection and strategic hegemony.

“I received a quite lovely letter, I’ve got to say, of invitation to attend the White House,” Anthony Albanese - from the Today show.

It's a set-up Albo! Don't go there thinking it's tea and bikkies; he's setting you up for the ambush. Don't be spineless-walk out on the asshole if he attacks.

Ok, the US has reached a new level of dumb fuckery. A Qatari air base in Idaho? I guess that golden jet gift paid off. You think ICE is relentless & brutal??? Now loyal-to-Trump foreign soldiers will do his bidding. FFS!

María Corina Machado: What the Mainstream Media Isn’t Saying About Her - Venezuelanalysis Political analyst Steve Ellner draws a portrait of a key opposition leader and her surrogate ahead of the upcoming elections.

Venezuelan politician María Corina Machado wins Nobel peace prize Opponent of Maduro regime receives award and praise for keeping ‘flame of democracy burning’

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

"Writing on X, Machado dedicated the prize to “the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!" -- She's come right off my Christmas card list. I originally thought it great that an Hispanic woman won the Nobel prize, but her politics suck!

Remember this as genocide continues: On Oct 7th 2023 a military doctrine was enacted; the Hannibal Directive is Israel’s national murder-suicide pact. Killing their own.

Israeli troops could fire on other Israeli troops who had just been captured by Palestinian or other Arab resistance fighters.

Powerful.
Listen to what she made her last wishes and recommendations.
And yes, toxic men she clearly didn't like, but hope she never lost.
Very powerful, indeed.
Rest in peace, Jane Goodall.

Money helps the cause, but I think the biggest problem is getting people to see that it's not Left vs Right, it's Up vs Down. If people would just unite behind those things any sane person would agree on as being beneficial there'd be no stopping that power, especially referring to women. Thanks 👍

Yep, it's a long game to benefit white, conservative, wealthy males. People of colour, women and LGBTQI+ people are rapidly losing a place in America's social order. We have all been dismissed so we must be loud in our resistance. Oppression is real and ongoing, so it is up to "we the people."

Think tanks like the Cato Institute & The Heritage Foundation as well as PACs yes, but this whole authoritarian movement goes back decades; we're just seeing the culmination of an intentional political movement. If you are interested, Nancy MacLean's _Democracy In Chains_ tells the compelling story.

Once Upon a Time: The History of Republican Support for International Family Planning and Contraception - PAI

Well, yes that is mostly true now, but that's because the Republican party has been hijacked by right-wing Magats and spineless Project 2025 adherents. It hasn't always been thus. Republicans have been less hostile towards women in the past. This is interesting. Thanks Tessa

It has historically always been thus. Patriarchy is alive and well in the form of the old folks in the Republican party. It galls the shit out of me that women still have to fight the same battles we fought in the 60's and 70's. Women of all stripes need to unite no matter race, creed, or politics.

Oh FFS...go suck ass somewhere else. You, yes YOU are the reason we are losing everything dear to a true patriot's heart. My guess is you've never read the Constitution and are clueless like the rest of you Trump-voting motherfuckers. Fuck off!

I stand with Greta and all of the brave souls attempting to break the Israeli blockade that's stopping international aid from reaching Gaza. Israel is a rogue, genocidal state!

Hurt Greta, or harm the Sumud Flotilla and a world of international shit will descend on your asshole government Israel. We have only just begun to behead Netanyahu and his racist, genocidal buddies.

International waters means nothing to the rogue state Israel. This is illegal aggression.

Dumb fuck!

Keep eating those costly Twinkies Republicans. It's quite likely your health food of choice is a bit more expensive but that shouldn't dissuade you ya greedy bastards, not after stealing from taxpayers in blue states.

One of the world's pillars of good has left us and who can ever fill her shoes?
