Maybe when Albanese looks back at this moment in his life he will ask himself “Why did I become a fawning Trump AUKUS groupie? What was wrong with me?” Or maybe he will be working at Lockheed Martin.

Huge news that Spain and Italy have sent navy boats to protect the Sumud flotilla - the world should support and join them protecting the flotilla in international waters

Deeply concerned about reports of drones above the Sumud flotilla and their radios being jammed following escalating threats from Israel. Australia needs to call for the safety of the flotilla and all those on board.

How much will this next meeting with Trump cost us in tribute payments for AUKUS? If past experience is anything to go by this will be costly for us in many ways.

We know frontier artificial intelligence models could pose serious risks to the world - if you think the precautionary principle should apply here consider signing this petition: www.aph.gov.au/e-petitions/...

An important start on the path for justice for so many people impacted by the brutal 'war on drugs' waged by Duterte

If the AFP is found to have engaged in the illegal kidnapping of an alleged gangland boss and he walks because of it, careers need to end. Regardless of how senior.

The recognition of Palestine is a victory for the many Australians who have been calling for this, but will not end the genocide in Gaza. The Albanese Government must now sanction Israel for its criminal actions the way it has sanctioned Russia for its invasion of Ukraine.

The Australian Submarine Agency met locals in Freemantle last night to pump AUKUS … and it didn’t go well. The crowd broke into astounded laughter when invited to a future “Nuclear Fun Day.” Thankfully ⁦‪@‬⁩sophiemcneil.bsky.social was there to inject some common sense into it all.

Albanese is strutting around the region pushing the United States’ security agenda, bribing and intimidating neighbours that should be treated as equals and respected.

AUKUS accurately summarised by @firstdogonthemoon.bsky.social

President Trump's scorn for highly respected Australian journalist John Lyons was followed up by an official White House X account branding him a "foreign fake news loser". Our research shows Australians want a more independent foreign policy. #auspol australiainstitute.org.au/post/poll-in...

If Trump doesn't raise his threatening abuse of Australian journalist @johnthelyonsden.bsky.social when he meets Albanese, then Albanese must. And he must defend Lyons. This ugly authoritarian behaviour by Trump proves how far our two country's values are diverging.

The UN commission today made clear that Israel has committed genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza We know what the Albanese Government must do, the UN have made it crystal clear, stop the two-way arms trade with Israel, and sanction the Israeli Government.

Albanese went to Vanuatu with a colonial plan - no treaty Albanese is heading to PNG with another colonial plan - no cabinet meeting - no treaty Maybe it's time to start treating our Pacific neighbours as genuine partners, not security risks we need to strong arm?

The government has responded to public pressure and it now looks like not every user will be subject to age verification. Still time to scrap the ban entirely AND fix our privacy laws to protect users from the rapacious collection of private data

This tonight on 4Corners is important viewing - it is my view that the Plymouth Brethren should be investigated for their oppressive practices to members and those who leave the church, and for whether it’s appropriate they are tax exempt and have charity status

What if large, relatively slow moving, metal cigars, filled with uranium and no self-defence mechanisms can be seen from space? Would they be a good $375 billion naval investment? www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Today our Prime Minister is committing $12b of our money to a half-developed defence precinct outside Perth, as a pre-meeting act of appeasement for Donald Trump. It’s not about us, it’s about him. It’s the continued loss of our wealth and independence on the AUKUS altar.

Exclusive Brethren says they are “not a cult. “Not a cult. Not a cult.” Ok then. But let’s take action anyhow, just in case.

Nobody mention the war crimes please! The Australian War Memorial has halted its major military history prize because a truthful book about war criminal Ben Roberts-Smith was winning Historian CEW Bean, who championed the AWM, would be disgusted by this www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Here’s a better headline: “Inside the $8 billion US nuclear submarine base being built by Australian taxpayers that will make Perth a nuclear target.”

Today we remember 11 September 1973, where Chile’s democratically elected Allende govt. was overthrown in a military coup backed by Washington and facilitated by Australia’s intelligence services. The result was Pinochet’s dictatorship that killed and tortured thousands. 🧵👇

This is such an important read: michaelwest.com.au/white-suprem...

Sending an Islamophobic biker gang to “manage” vulnerable Muslims in Gaza seeking aid is a new low. How do we expect anything but maltreatment when hatred is part of the job description?

End the two-way arms trade with Israel now.

Israel’s attack on Qatar violates international law and targets negotiators, proving they’re not serious about returning hostages or a negotiated resolution to the genocide they’re committing.

IDF sniper from Chicago who says he killed Gazan teenager just for trying to retrieve his brother's corpse: “They’re thinking, ‘Oh I don’t think [I’ll get shot] because I’m wearing civilian clothes and I am not carrying a weapon' and all that, but they were wrong. That’s what you have snipers for.”

This is completely unacceptable - hope to see State and Federal MPs and Ministers take these attacks seriously.

Come call on them to act today 530pm at 320 Pitt st. Repost to support!

Israel’s attack on Qatar violated international law and targeted peace negotiators, proving they’re not serious about returning hostages or a negotiated resolution to the genocide they’re committing.

Days after voting for anti-immigration laws that strip fundamental rights from people, a Labor dominated committee has issued a report saying the laws are unfair, rushed and infringe fundamental rights. Days AFTER they voted for it.

This isn’t just about one man’s ambition. Strip mining the ocean - and devastating ecosystems we barely understand - is the latest chapter in a long history of elites wrecking the planet in a quest for wealth & power that never seems to satisfy their greed. #AusPol www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

3 years ago today I caught up with David McBride in Parliament to discuss his case - he still thought the system might be fair. Today he is still in prison in Canberra and whistleblower laws are still broken. A stain on this country.

An Australian billionaire (who loves Elon Musk of course) wants to destroy a world beneath the oceans before we even come close to understanding it. There are no limits to this ultra capitalist strip mining of our one and only planet.

Remembering Tanya Louise Day today and everyday. We will continue to fight against governments at all who levels who try to introduce public drunkenness laws - because we know they kill.

It's happening here, too, the trend is clear. Our universities, symphony orchestras, public libraries, media, all levels of politics - there's a fascistic push to get us all to shut up about Israel's genocide of Palestine. Don't be too complacent; this is about all of us and our democracy.

When a Govt is so intent on supporting Israel’s genocide it starts arresting their own people - doctors, nurses, priests, pensioners - as “terrorists” for wanting peace, it shreds its legitimacy. It’s UK Labour now but look out because we have Minns, Wong, Marles, Albanese and co all watching here.

Israel is starving Palestinians in Gaza, it is starving Palestinian prisoners in Israeli prisons. Israel is now so entrenched in its dehumanizing treatment of Palestinians it is losing all limits. Sanction Israel.

The Greens are the only party in the federal Parliament that has a clear policy to cancel AUKUS, not actively plan to join a US war with China and to map a genuinely independent foreign and defence policy. It’s because we use our eyes, ears and brains. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09...

I am deeply troubled at what I am hearing from the ground in Indonesia about government violence against protestors and fears of impending martial law. Indonesians are rightly proud of their democratic achievements in the last two and a half decades.

The man-made crisis in Sudan is only getting worse. Australia has a role to play in de-escalating conflict and making sure the diaspora here is supported.

The UK's former AUKUS director general is now working for Palantir, the controversial US tech giant.

Just when you think AUKUS could not get any worse, now it has revolving doors with US surveillance tech companies.

Regardless of faith, regardless of age, regardless of history Gaza has become a killing field and occupied Palestine a prison and place of fear and displacement. Here is just some of what Palestinian Christians have told me of the recent horror.

Sky News Australia gives neo-Nazi centre stage with uninterrupted press conference | Weekly Beast

At the Drs For Environment conference this morning in Canberra. An incredibly important discussion with former WHO Director Dr Richard Brennan explaining how countries like Pakistan and Sudan with tiny carbon emissions are facing the brunt of climate impacts, floods and extreme weather

Labor and Coalition pass deportation laws set to make Nauru a ‘penal colony’ for Australia, critics say

The major parties just teamed up to vote for a cruel bill that will take away basic rights of refugees and migrants.
