Australian activists were among those detained by Israel on vessels in international waters bound for Gaza. Shamikh Badra argues the Australian Government cannot remain silent about this incident and must do more than extend consular help. #gaza #consular #auspol

We now know that the Chief of Navy has ordered every Australian embedded in every US nuclear submarine to follow all orders given them by the US military. If they don't they face disciplinary charges. We need to end AUKUS before we become the official 51st US State.

"Across the political spectrum, and over many years...the US news media has systematically omitted Israel as a problematic source of foreign influence." Arguably, the Australian media and political class has been even more effective in performing this propaganda role on behalf of Israel. #auspol

Australia’s foreign policy rests on three pillars – alliance, region and multilateralism. All remain vital, but each must be recalibrated for a more contested world, Peter Varghese writes. #auspol #ForeignPolicy #China #USA #Geopolitics

An excellent and important #longread. Discovered on Reddit's r/Longreads subreddit where I am active. We can't let Pauline Hanson and One Nation anywhere near power and control of the Australian and Victorian Governments: #auspol #vicpol www.theguardian.com/news/2026/ap... via @theguardian.com

"America’s equivalent of the Suez Crisis" As ceasefire deadline looms, Trump's 'off-ramp' in Iran War may be Iran tolling the Strait of Hormuz. There's precedent. #auspol @michaelpascoe01.bsky.social michaelwest.com.au/tolling-the-...

A new Chinese gravity-based detector could make stealth submarines obsolete. That raises serious questions about the long-term viability of AUKUS, John Queripel writes. #auspol #AUKUS #Defence #China #Geopolitics

You're hearing it more and more... it's time to tax gas exports! More than 50 community organisations, including ACOSS and Oxfam, are calling for a 25% export tax. Australians are fed up with the gas industry not paying its fair share. ✍ Sign the petition: https://theaus.in/41IwWTa

A neutron bomb is designed to kill large numbers of civilians in urban areas with minimal infrastructure damage. People die slowly because the radiation is more intense. In concentrated areas they could kill +0000’s. This is unhinged. What the fuck are we doing here @albomp.bsky.social? #auspol

Donald, there’s only one appropriate punishment for Australia - cancel #AUKUS (please)! #auspol

Trumps approval rating is now lower than the lowest George W numbers. And still, 20 years later, GOP doesn’t discuss bush. Trump will be a pariah for all of America soon

Al Gore: The Trump administration is the most corrupt in history. On @revealnews.org's More To The Story, the former vice president rebukes Trump’s attack on Iran and condemns the administration’s dismantling of climate regulations.

A fascinating read.

I don't know if the illegal 🇺🇸🇮🇱 war against Iran has derailed the RFS's #SudanGenocide but I DO know the UAE is the main financial, military and logistical backer of the RSF—probably the most brutal, rapey, genocidal paramilitary force in existence AND ON TOP OF THAT FACT ...

If they were seeing clearly, I believe they would have realised that the threat to democracy and free expression posed by a victorious, second-term Trump bent on vengeance would be so much worse for the country than DEI overreach or “wokeism” on the left. mnth.ly/2wwS8aa

BREAKING: Keir Starmer will address the nation this morning

The Prime Minister’s plan for immigration will keep people working in key industries like care in temporary status for a decade or more, it will keep people in insecure work, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised - when did that become the policy of a Labour government?
