Labor is doing bugger-all! And in doing bugger-all they are actually doing damage. #auspol www.thenewdaily.com.au/news/politic...

Wonderful article. The story of our times. Not sure how to solve the mess we're in from here, but totally identify with Patricia Eager's telling of our shared history. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/04...

Catholic Church standing up against unhinged lunacy of Trump/Netanyahu war on Iran. Hallelujah! #auspol www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

INBOX: Cardinal Robert McElroy, Archbishop of Washington (i.e., DC), issues statement decrying the escalating war with Iran and condemning Trump's recent remarks: "Any nation which undertakes war with the intention of ending an entire civilization has lost its moral compass…"

The Cardinal of Washington Robert McElroy has called on Catholics to go beyond just prayer in their struggle to protect democracy and end the war in Iran. It's almost as if the Catholic Church has been reborn since Leo took over as Pope. I've seldom seen it so willing to stand up for what's right 🕊

"Who do you think went home justified, the Pope or the servants of a charlatan dictator?" #auspol

Eventually enough of us will wake up to the fact that Albo is a dud, Marles is a dolt, and there's not nearly as much as we thought behind Penny Wong's sharp haircut and pants suit. #auspol open.substack.com/pub/tdunlop/...

We should redirect the gazillions we're sending to US, to ensure our vassal status, into building our own military self-sufficiency. It's a comfort to have friends but clearly some we can't count on. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/news/defence...

It beggars belief that the company which made such a hash of the BOM website is given any more work by this government. Graft and corruption abound. #auspol www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/comment/edit...

Never in my entire voting life have I ever seen an ALP like this, scared, weak and ill thought out knee jerk reactions. They are too busy appeasing the wrong people for the wrong reasons and now stand for nothing.

“The self-interested violence of Donald Trump is not an aberration … it is an unvarnished example of a long-term trend.” This is a learning moment – and Australia has to change course, not follow Washington, Greens Senator David Shoebridge writes. #auspol #Iran #AUKUS #ForeignPolicy #MiddleEast

"Only by breaking our dependence on the US, ending AUKUS, and pursuing an independent foreign policy can we begin to rebuild public trust and contribute to genuine peace." @davidshoebridge.bsky.social is worth his weight in gold. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

Albanese, Marles and Wong need to be rolled. Have lost all respect. Surely there are some among Labor's ranks with some competence, vision and courage. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

"Labor have completely failed to communicate any national vision beyond their own survival and longevity...(Their) incrementalism and message management is more corrosive than Howard's lies...The backlash will be brutal." Spot on from @timdunlop.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/tdunlop/...

Absolute legends ...♥️👏🏼 give them whatever support you can.

For decades we have been, and unfortunately still are, governed by blinkered, knee-jerking fools, motivated primarily by self-preservation. We need to revolt against governments committing us to wars without the electorate's permission. #auspol www.change.org/p/the-austra...

The @australianlabor.bsky.social Govt & its feckless foreign affairs team of @albomp.bsky.social Richard Marles @senatorwong.bsky.social have a decision to make. Can either wash their hands of involvement in illegal Trump/Betanyahu/Zionist war with Iran Or become Trump’s Groom of the Stool #auspol

Thanks to the short-sightedness/ineptitude/cowardice of Albanese and Minns we now live in a "political climate where outrage at Israel's actions is recast as prejudice." Their interventions do more harm than good. Not the legacy anyone would want to leave. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

The Trump administration on Friday approved a $5 billion oil drilling project in ultradeep waters of the Gulf of Mexico over protests from Democrats and environmental activists who said the venture posed significant risks to wildlife and communities.

The AUKUS deal will cost taxpayers at least $368bn to build nuclear submarines for the U.S. with zero guarantee of a single submarine for Australia. Join me in signing the @australiainstitute.org.au petition demanding more scrutiny nb.australiainstitute.org.au/aukus_parlia... #AUKUS #Auspol

Yesterday, the war parties teamed up to shut the door on Iranians trying to flee a war they endorse and support. We know that there are Labor MPs who oppose this war and Australia's involvement. It's time they spoke up. Silence is complicity.

"What [China and Iran] do not have is a mutual defence treaty, integrated military planning, or any alliance obligation resembling NATO’s Article 5." This article basically dumps shit on reporting coming out of the ABC. More, please. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

From AUKUS to Gaza and now Iran, on issue after issue this government fails us. "Albanese has developed an art form of avoidance of key issues for fear of being wedged. His government keeps running away from hard decisions. Pragmatism and compromise rule." #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

"Our leaders are not worthy of their followers." Follow no more! #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

It's infuriating and insulting to hear Albo-Wong peddle lies about Australia's involvement. #auspol johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

The British public "understand that launching an even less-planned war, led by a more extreme President, against a far more capable enemy, would be sheer madness." Surely Australian sentiments exactly. #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
