“Australia is wedged; squeezed at once by Washington’s strategic demands, a domestic propaganda environment that converts grief into compliance now called social cohesion, and a bipartisan refusal to confront what the UN has formally identified as genocide.” theaimn.net/boxed-in-lik...

“On Monday morning we face the utter insanity of a State visit by Isaac Herzog, President of Israel, the bloke who signs his name in a public spectacle on outer shells of missiles dispatched to Gaza, many of which have killed children.” theaimn.net/shades-of-te...

“Australia does not suffer from a lack of policy ideas. It suffers from a lack of courage in politics. Repeatedly, political leaders retreat from decisions they know are necessary, not because those decisions are wrong, but because they fear the consequences.” theaimn.net/courage-in-p...

Howard didn’t invent a new political logic in 2001. He revived an old one. From the White Australia policy to border security, the vocabulary changed. The instincts didn’t. History doesn’t disappear. It waits for new language. theaimn.net/when-history...

“For more than 40 years, Aus govs have repeated a claim that sounds sensible but is harmful. It is said that the federal budget is like a household budget and that Aus must live within its means. This belief has justified cuts to services, rising inequality.” theaimn.net/how-modern-m...

“For decades, Australia has comforted itself with a familiar bedtime story: that our alliance with the United States is equal, benign, and stabilising.. That story has expired. The United States is no longer a stable liberal democracy.” By @lachiemc64.bsky.social theaimn.net/australia-is...

“Herzog’s visit doesn’t foster unity. It tells Palestinian Australians their lives matter less. It tells progressive Jewish Australians their voices don’t count. It tells the world that Aus will provide the red-carpet to leaders implicated in humanitarian catastrophes.” theaimn.net/why-i-cannot...

“The New START Treaty between Russia and US expires today, and America largely yawned.” (New START is the 16 year old treaty Obama signed with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on February 8, 2010. It caps the number of nuclear warheads each side can deploy). theaimn.net/sorrowful-da...

This extinct, ferocious Australian lizard grew to just under 20 feet long and stood over 5 and a half feet tall. It is a Megalania. What an odd name for a lizard.

“How much longer will we let the RBA and its corporate backers punish us for their greed? Research shows - again and again - that the primary driver of inflation is not a surge in household demand but a ‘profit-price spiral’ orchestrated by multinational corporations.” theaimn.net/the-sledgeha...

Albo, in his wisdom, has invited Isaac Herzog, the President of our ‘new favourite ally,’ Israel, on a state visit to Australia. A lot of people don’t want him here. The ones with the loudest voices of protest will not be from the mainstream media. theaimn.net/beware-these...
