The Duopoly - both Labor and the LNP IPA - has seriously damaged Australia's long-term maritime defence capabilities through ideology resulting in AUKUS - a $368Bn scam - and utter incompetence in ensuring we have a capable, operational submarine fleet into the future

Ominous ... for in the end what will we collectively vote for and accept? What is the UK seemingly about to do to itself? What would Socrates say about democracy and voters today? "𝘐 𝘵𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘰!"

When democracies start crumbling - as Amerika’s has - IF there is a future left for them or any democracy, can any society allow themselves to be permanently trapped by such legislation and betrayal? Are democracies unable to protect themselves?

Appalling footage of Israel's Minister Ben-Gvir attacking human rights activists including Australian citizens. Penny Wong has summoned the Israeli Ambassador but the test is if she'll just tell him she's concerned or if there are going to be real consequences like ending the two way arms trade.

Wonderful, expressive reply - I love it! He is a complete indictment of voters in Goldstein who effectively did not cast a vote for Australia or Australians but instead effectively voted directly for GENOCIDE If Australians want to lose a democracy - Goldstein have paved the way

Excellent analysis by Sue Barrett, on Tim Wilson and his deliberate, insidious, ideological mis-information and poisoning of our democracy. I disagree that "Goldstein deserves better .." An inability by those voters to vote on Australian issues instead of Zionism open.substack.com/pub/suebarre...
