#AUKUS means that Australia's hand is caught in the mangle.

Is there ONE redeeming feature of Israelis? From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free #PalestineLiberation 🇵🇸

Minister Bowen has been telling the parliament that everything is OK - nothing to worry about - when it comes to national fuel supplies in the wake of the Middle-East conflict. Let’s find out what the department has been telling the minister. #FOI #auspol

If it’s true that the United States bombed an elementary school and killed scores of children it is an unfathomable crime. I have never been more disgusted to be an American.

Okay Miss, just a little further to Mawson’s Peak. Just past Cricket’s Revenge and along Cape Good, along Pretti Ridge and we will be at your new volca…We mean, Office.

Mark Carney has made his thoughts on Trump & his ongoing threats & tariffs extraordinarily clear. Indeed travelling the world including China in order to mitigate Canada's trade dependence upon the US. So it only makes sense that he would put monumental distance between his country & AUKUS #DudDeal

It is not the right of Israel or the US to murder the leader of Iran or to kidnap the leader of Venezuela or to murder the leaders of resistance movements. Israel murdered the Prime Minister of Yemen - only silence. The sheer CRIMINALITY should be the EASIEST thing to call out @albomp.bsky.social !

Artist unknown

I've formed a very firm observation that @senatorwong.bsky.social actually shudders whenever Madam President calls upon @davidshoebridge.bsky.social regarding a question. 😵‍💫😅😆

Has the extraordinarily courageous Ms Albanese thought of possibly altering her Australian visit to a venue here in Brisbane following Adelaide University's cowardly cancellation of her appearance after political pressure was applied ? 🇵🇸 I'd be honoured to 'sleep out' for a 🎫 ticket.

A US nuclear submarine just sank an Iranian frigate off the coast of Sri Lanka, leaving the survivors to drown. I asked Wong if any of the 50 or more Australians stationed on US nuclear submarines in the Pacific were on this submarine. The Government refused to answer.

Chris Minns asked why he singled out & sacked Anthony D’Adam for spkng out against NSW Police brutality when his other MPs did too? Minns says bc D’Adam was P/Secretary for “Police” Tudehope “Can I just stop u there? He wasn’t P/Sec to Police” Incompetent? Or dishonest?🙄 #auspol

Do we really want a world where the strong can do as they please and the weak suffer as they must? I wrote for The Guardian today about why Australia shouldn’t stand for this, and why international law matters for a middle power like Australia #auspol #politas www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Poor old blind Freddy can see there will be no subs for Australia, we are simply building a massive/repair maintenance depot & accompanying housing for US servicepeople on Australian soil for THEIR subs whilst propping up Trump's economy.

There are a few selfies that will come home to bite!

Are there ANY rescinding clauses in the AUKUS agreement ?

We won't forget.

Jan Fran and Antoinette look at the Australian media’s coverage of the U.S and Israeli attack on Iran and show how a narrative gets set in the first 24-48 hours.

I call on the Australian government to #RaiseTheRate of all support payments to a living wage. This would be the single most effective way to lift the productivity, quality of life, and well-being of the whole country. #CommitToALivingWage

Getting a sense of desperation here. If US/Israeli ground troops are sent to Iran, expect a lot more of this.

Trump threatens Spain, says no one can stop them flying into Spanish military bases and using them. A lesson for those who think AUKUS military bases in Australia does not affect our sovereignty. AUKUS means we are even more subjugated to the US/UK military industrial complex.

Only ISRAEL ⬇️

The sudden closure of Middle Eastern airspace and airports after the US-Israeli strikes on Iran has exposed the fact that Qantas has effectively outsourced a huge swath of international travel to the world’s largest airline, Emirates. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/03/q...

The parallels are palpable ! 🇬🇧🇦🇺

Trump zeroed in with laser-like focus when told Ukraine had halted elections due to the war with Russia.

You have to hand it to Australians & their innate ability to zero in on BS. Not one point in the LNP post-election 'autopsy' was a surprise, in fact, social media posts were searingly accurate in their prognostications of a blundering ultimately failed election campaign.

Penny Allman-Payne has called out foreign minister Penny Wong for refusing to answer on the legality of the war in Iran and questions why the government can’t be against Iran’s hateful regime, while “at the same time” be against US & Israel’s illegal war. 💥 #auspol

Here's me. 'Stop pretending to be dumb: the Iran War is about Greater Israel, not “liberation”'

Yesterday, The Australia Institute kicked off the Yanis Varoufakis Speaking Tour 2026 with An Afternoon with Yanis Varoufakis & Friends at Adelaide Town Hall. It was an afternoon of bold ideas, storytelling, and inspiration. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us!

No words

With what Australians now know of caravans "packed with explosives" & graffitists going to the "wrong address", our collective cynicism is well founded. The timing of Iranian Ambassador's expulsion & Mossad's 'help' regarding ASIO's conclusion 'it was Iran' has only added to our mutual incredulity.

PM saying Iran ‘attacked’ Australia, but how firm is his evidence? Sydney lawyer Nick Hanna presented a solid case disputing claims that Iran was behind arson attacks in Australia.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

What a horrific mess the US and its toadies have unleashed in the Middle East. Again. Careless of the lives lost, the children killed and the broken countries they leave behind.

The Israel lobby and its stenographers in the media dislike context so last night at the Adelaide Town Hall I set the record straight on the #AWW26 debacle.Given the continuing misrepresentation and fact free reporting an edited version of the speech is now up on the Pearls & Irritations website.

Yep Trump is actually really good at bankruptcy and now he’s trying to bankrupt the world

Dubai airport has closed down indefinitely. It is the world’s busiest international airport and the largest connecting hub between Asia, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The global implications will be massive. And the Strait of Hormuz has been closed by Insurance companies Trump bankrupts all

The human cost will be devastating, but we should also consider the worldwide 🌐 economic disaster waiting to hit US ALL !

Fill your car up now ! And you can stop smirking all you EV owners and all.

'Without any regard for the consequences', I think you may be apportioning a much higher IQ to this individual than is likely. If there is a $ involved or a chance to wear one of his stupid but cherished hats & hold a mic 🎤 it is doubtful that his thoughts run any deeper than his next Big Mac.

What if Iran blocks the Straits of Hormuz? www.facebook.com/share/v/1CFV...
