Finnish President Alexander Stubb says Brexit was a “colossal mistake” “It’s like amputating your leg without medical reason for doing it”

Time to take Trump up on his offer - we matter so little to the US and they dominate our entire defence and foreign policy - time to end this damaging dependent relationship and have an independent foreign policy.

Recent Redbridge polling shows strong support for taxing gas exports across the political spectrum. Australia Institute research shows a 25% tax on gas exports could raise $17 billion every year, which could fund much-needed services for Australians. @richarddenniss.bsky.social #auspol

“Australia is one of the world’s biggest exporters of liquefied natural gas . . . Yet the public return on these resources is astonishingly small,” writes Ebony Bennett, Deputy Director of The Australia Institute. Read more: https://theaus.in/4lFDCus

The Reserve Bank’s decision to raise interest rates today will inflict more unnecessary pain on households struggling with soaring fuel prices. 📺 Chief Economist Greg Jericho explains. @grogsgamut.bsky.social #auspol

But wait, I thought the bridge march fuelled an atmosphere of antisemitic hate that created the conditions that led to the Bondi attack and the subsequent royal commission?? Surely.

Angus Taylor roasted by journalist over his recent call for govt to use ADF fuel tankers to supply regional areas. Taylor first claims to be misquoted, then refuses to say that he even agrees with the idea (his idea).🤦‍♂️ Journalist: “You’re not answering the question.” 🔥 #auspol

The defence minister has confirmed intelligence gathered by an Australian surveillance aircraft deployed to support Gulf states can be accessed by the United States, potentially informing its strikes on Iran.

“We’ll find you, we’ll track you down and you will have to repay those debts and you may end up in prison.” All for debts that didn’t exist. No consequences for the architects and implementors. Innocent people died as a result. Disgusted by the NACC and the Albo government. #auspol #albo #robodebt

Defence spends the most public money on projects, by a long shot. They waste 10s of billions. A Govt controlled committee has ordered the Auditor-General to stop auditing Defence major projects. Politically good for @albomp.bsky.social but very bad for taxpayers. #auspol

The NACC works exactly as intended when the Albanese govt set it up. Everyone in the APH can get on the beers tonight’s knowing they’ll always be safe.

Fair to say they might as well roll up the NACC. What a disgrace. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The passages clearing Morrison of fault are extraordinary NACC says Morrison is technically "responsible" as cabinet Minister, but not "personally at fault" If responsibility exists without consequence...then what does "ministerial accountability" even mean anymore?

NACC decided it wasn't in the public interest to make its corruption hearings with Morrison, Campbell, Mussolino etc public I would conservatively estimate that 90% of Australians would disagree

You can read NACC's investigation into the Robodebt Six here. I'll post some "highlights" in this thread www.nacc.gov.au/sites/defaul...

NACC clears Morrison, Campbell, Musolino, & Halbert of corrupt conduct. Withnell & Wilson were found guilty of "serious corrupt conduct", but aren't referred to the Director of Public Prosecutions because statements they made to NACC "are not admissible in criminal proceedings" The system works!

NACC's new report finds that two of the Robodebt Six engaged in serious corrupt conduct www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Albanese's line that "We're sending defensive forces" to the war should ring everybody's bullshit radars. These "defensive" assets are part of a larger offensive. Take yourself back to school if you're buying it. Centrists can't even send us to war without pretending they're not.
