Is Australia at war? Legally, the answer is yes It's a reasonable question for Australians to ask given the government is sending a sophisticated reconnaissance plane — crewed by dozens of military personnel — to the Middle East. And legal experts ...

Yes, Australia is joining the war www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Screenshot of a news article from The Post titled “Repeatedly getting Covid doesn’t build immunity, ‘it’s more like accumulating damage’,” written by Melanie Earley of RNZ and dated March 10, 2026. Below the headline is a portrait of leading vaccinologist and associate professor Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, shown facing the camera against a dark background. The article discusses how repeated COVID-19 infections may cause cumulative harm rather than building lasting immunity.

"Leading vaccinologist Helen Petousis-Harris says there's not enough awareness of the impact of COVID-19 on overall health."

"What many people don't realise is that getting COVID repeatedly is not like building immunity, it's more like accumulating damage," she says.

All at sea with Pete Hegseth: Is this what AUKUS looks like in practice? It seems that Australia finds itself yoked to America's actions whether the government likes it or not.

Good questions from Malcolm Turnbull in this article:
""If we were asked, did we agree to it," he says.

"If we were not then the US is engaging our military personnel in war without Australia's consent."

Mojtaba Khamenei is Irans new Supreme Leader. Not only did the US kill his father in the March 1st strikes, his wife and mother also died.

Just something to think about.

Penny Wong says the reason the war on Iran is worth supporting is it will
“keep Australians safe”

Supporting an illegal war for regime change with no evidence of a threat will not keep us safe. It will create a new wave of terrorist groups & who hate us like after Iraq. #auspol

Penny Wong deploying her considerable intellectual and political skills on #Insiders.
Unfortunately they are being put to a cause that does not promote peace common sense and our sovereignty.
We are being sucked into war and no amount of verbal gymnastics can hide this reality.

Am I the only person troubled that the US sat alongside the commander of the Iranian frigate during Indian naval games and the international conference, and then 2 or 3 days later sunk the boat? US can never be a trusted ally if this is the case.

Fancy being led into world conflict by such a mob of hateful, reprehensible people. That’s what feels even more devastating this time around. Even in the disaster of the Iraq invasion, while we knew they were lying, they hadn’t been going out of their way to be the most vile, venal criminals.

As a middle power, Australia should be careful what it wishes for when it comes to an illegal war with Iran | Andrew Wilkie I resigned from the intelligence services over the fraudulent case for the invasion of Iraq in 2003. And I see some alarming parallels with this case

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

I’m so pissed off about this. 🤬

We were told Herzog was here on a “pastoral” visit.
Why was a foreign head of a state that illegally forged Australian passports given privileged access to Australia’s security agency?
Who authorised the meeting ?
Why was the meeting kept secret from the public?
