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

Shakedown! #AUKUS #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.

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

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

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

You’re right.

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

Criticising Israel is not anti-Semitic johnmenadue.com/post/2025/04...

RW demagogues get the star treatment from lazy journalists.. open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

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

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... #auspol

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...

Australia among countries worried about sharing intelligece with the US, according to NBC www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

A heroic act of defiance, no doybt about that. substack.com/@sasscmom/no...

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. @emmashortis.bsky.social explains the latest Australia Institute polling & what it means for the alliance. youtu.be/wOc9CU43EYY?...

Just enjoyed a roller coaster ride through #AUKUS and the madhouse of Trump politics with @instanterudite.bsky.social & @emmashortis.bsky.social & @davemilbo.bsky.social a great addition to Sunday mornings

This morning's episode of the #SundayShot is up! @emmashortis.bsky.social & @andrewjfowler.bsky.social lead us through the disaster that is AUKUS & discuss whether a US-gone-rogue gives us a chance to walk it back. Subscribe to our channel if you like what we do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uWA...

Pine Gap provides intelligence for Ukraine. Australia should continue to do that. It’s a question of sovereignty.#Auspol

We're doing an AUKUS/foreign policy special next week with @andrewjfowler.bsky.social and @emmashortis.bsky.social but will inevitably touch on it tomorrow too.

Trump gears up to use the military against the people. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

The reactors won’t work on the AUKUS subs and our ‘forever’ friends have abandoned NATO. Anyone have a view from Russell ? #auspol

Former Defence Intelligence China Desk chief Paul Monk joins the chorus questioning AUKUS

Oafs in charge.

No more checking with the Pentagon before publishing contentious stories now? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/b...

The ‘rule of law’ in our AUKUS partner: preemotive pardons for police offers defending democracy, because they are threatened with prosecution by the incoming president who encouraged the riot.

No US submarines for Australia, it seems. What an unmitigated disaster. www.aspistrategist.org.au/virginia-we-...

France must stand firm in face of ‘new world disorder’ embodied by Musk, says PM Whose side will #AUKUS Australia be on?

Prioritize. There is no evidence of that. But I suppose we are well beyond that sort of analysis.

Thanks Jo!

Congratulations to @andrewjfowler.bsky.social on his #Walkley Book Award for his excellent book NUKED, a forensic demolition of the ridiculous & dangerous AUKUS. We interviewed him for The Shot podcast when the book first came out. Give it a listen. Buy the book. shows.acast.com/the-shot-pod...
