A fascinating read.

Claims by Richard Marles that AUKUS was on track must be set against reality and facts. Janes, the authoritative defence journal, documents major cost, design and delivery problems with the UK sub programme that we rely on. Support the public inquiry into AUKUS to get the facts!

Senate Republicans are spending their weekend lying about the SAVE Act and attacking the right to vote. If you want to know where this bill came from, what is does and why the GOP is so desperate to pass it, read what I wrote. Then share it with others. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

I take Estroderm to smooth out hormonal cycling and mounjaro to improve glycogen control. Both stabilise mood. Costs over $300 per month and I can’t afford it

Albo says he’s looking at every practical option to ease pressure on the public, Here’s a couple of options: Deal with the cause not the symptoms. Stop appeasing Trump and Netanyahu tell them to cease their illegal war. Build independence, cancel the AUKUS madness. Put Aus first

The perverse cruelty of forcing people into poverty and compulsory activities because they are doing what the government and RBA want them to do (be unemployed) will never stop being shocking, no matter how unsurprising.

This was reported way back in Dec 24 and it has become a lot worse since then. We hear all the time on Bluesky about anti-democracy steps in USA but meanwhile in Australia …….. www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12...

We can stop AUKUS! getup.to/nv8ZGfPCeYrtA

Labor members are “quietly alarmed” as the cabinet supports megalomaniacs Trump and Netanyahu. They slaughter civilians, blow school children to pieces, ignore international law. and threaten world peace and Labor are mute.😳 Did Pat Conroy explain this sycophantic appeasement?

Grow a spine or lose @australianlabor.bsky.social Don't follow #UK #Labour into oblivion.

Trump: All of the people that died through the roadside bombs. Died and are right now walking around with no legs.

#Auspol. This is the best America could choose to be POTUS 😂

For those keeping track, we’re at the “secretary of war announces genocide” stage of the US descent into fascism.

Truly evil.

They erased us from the textbooks. I’m putting us back in the story. They buried our truth and hoped we’d stay silent. ERASED isn’t a book—it’s a weapon. Read it before they ban it. Share it before they silence it. Get your copy now. stan.store/gxldsociety/...

Who said wailing doesn't work? BHP gets injured miner's case thrown out, docs suppressed - after they send him 'Court Book' he can't open on the night before the hearing #auspol @sstephanietrann.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/judge-takes-...

Nukes. My @smh @theage cartoon.

Meanwhile in Australia, some disturbing developments suggest a pattern. theshot.net.au/uncategorize...

When you start an illegal war to distract from the other illegal things you've done.

The President boasts of "no tax on tips", but this expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on overtime," but it is taxed, and the break expires in 2028. He boasts of "no tax on social security," but it is taxed, and his break expires in 2028. He also passed tax cuts for the rich. They're permanent.

Albanese, ALP & LNP are great at ignoring the facts. Also, another formal national abuse against women. Anyone seeing a connected patriarchal abuse of women in need????? Disgusts me.

The 250 strong antisemitic nsw police unit will be doing a lot of sitting around imo. Meanwhile, Aboriginal Deaths In Custody and #VAW go unchecked, no legislative change, no police taskforces, no funding increases, no service delivery support.

Housing stress, inequality, insecure work and budget strain didn’t appear by accident. They were built into Australia by deliberate policy choices during the Howard years, Crispin Hull writes. #auspol #HowardLegacy #inequality #housing #tax

Seeing these words in print gave me a lift this morning— "Howard was the worst Prime Minister in Australia’s history" johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

Without the dots, it looks like polygraph test results from a pathological liar.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

The weapons used by Israel are being tested on Palestinian civilians to then be sold and used on others The armaments industry and Israel are depraved, immoral

🚨BREAKING: A national security official says Donald Trump is in a catch-22 where Iranians are threatening to release videos of him sexually assaulting children if he bombs them, and Israel is threatening the same if he doesn't! My god! Lock that fucker up! Leak the videos. The End.

In order to deflect attention away from new revelations that he raped and threatened to kill underage girls, Donald Trump will start a war with Iran.

Just a heads up for Aussies that GEO Group owns and operates several prisons in many Australian states. That company also owns, operates and is building ICE concentration camps in Trump’s USA. Do we want them running Aussie prisons? I say no f’en way.

Dr Jeremy Walker details the “enormous war chest” of Advance & lists funders inc Gina Rinehart, James Packer, IPA board, Woodside’s Charles Goode & “the priv foundation of Jillian Segal” - who pay Advance to “flood social media with aggressive Far Right disinformation”🔥 #auspol

The AUKUS agreement has now been in place for 4 years. During that time both the US & UK have undertaken reviews of its progress. With the Albanese govt now admitting its South Australian submarine base will cost at least $30bn, it's well past time Australia undertook its own AUKUS review.

Trump claimed he hadn't spoken to Jeffrey Epstein since 2004. But here is an email from 2018 wherein Epstein claims he was asked for 3 names to replace Steven Mnuchin. Everything Donald says is a lie.

If one may add. 1 in 6 children are in poverty. Apx 14.2% of all Australians are in poverty. Trend line is up. Rising under Labor. Over one third in poverty are in full time work. Of wealthy OECD countries - we are in bottom half. We lose talent, productivity and humanity. Poverty is policy.

Not sure Albanese and Labor are going to be able to overcome this. Greeting the head of state of a Govt which is actively committing a genocide on the Palestinian people. Can’t believe it 😞😞 #auspol

You will notice the fact that they're not getting Isaac Herzog to meet Bondi massacre hero Ahmed al-Ahmed... strange 🤔 #auspol

Dear #Albo, you Sir are the idiot who lit the bloody fire, and now you're wondering how to extinguish it...please! #auspol #NSW #Herzog #Minns

"We were allowed to exercise our democratic right to speak up in one Australian capital city this week, less so in another. This is a shameful state of affairs." #auspol #springst #nswpol #HerzogNotWelcome johnmenadue.com/post/2026/02...

Watters: I was walking in my street, a car drives by and I give him a wave. He rolls down the window and says, “F U fascist.” He doesn’t know I’m a fascist! Jessica: Yes, he does. You’re on TV.
