Are you assuming that Palmer won't have a candidate on the ballot paper?

This wasn't how it was supposed to play out. The #Boomers hoped they'd have retired before any work was needed.

And hoped they'd have died before any problems were caused by our fossil fuel dependency.

That's why they didn't try to solve it.

I know.

I heard that the reason they weren't admitted in 2008 was, in part, worry about antagonising Russia.

Is it true that PM Albanese (Labor) gave $500,000 to ex-PM Scott Morrison's Lawyers so he could dodge Accountability for #Robodebt?

It's on form for the duopoly to work together to avoid prosecution for crimes they commit against Australians.

We work with NATO but don't make their policies (Ukraine is now applying to join).

NATO won't admit new members if they're at war but the other ex-Soviet countries are members.

If NATO hadn't been worried about antagonising Russia, Ukraine would've been part of the organisation & Australia would have sent troops.

Australia announces $95m in cash and equipment for Ukraine The package includes $50 million in cash for a weapons fund, $43 million worth of material such as munitions and radars and fresh sanctions on Russia.

We have been directly supporting Ukraine, haven't we?

Joyce proposes rationing fuel in cities to address regional fuel supply issues - ABC listen One Nation MP Barnaby Joyce has proposed rationing fuel in the cities to help address regional fuel supply issues. The federal government will temporarily change fuel standards to allow more supply i...

Joyce suggested there's no fuel in Gunnedah so AlboPM is wrong to say there's no fuel supply crisis.

If the ON beetroot had bothered to listen, he'd know that Albo was saying that the problems were caused by panic buying.

‘Worst thing I’ve ever seen’: CSIRO slashes climate modelling jobs Australia’s science agency is cutting more than 100 jobs in its Environment Research Unit, which critics say will crush our capacity to predict climate change.

CSIRO have now lost more jobs under the Albanese Governmet than under the Abbott Government.

We have to do better on research funding and backing our scientists.

Trump says Iran welcome to play World Cup, but risk 'life and safety' US President Donald Trump says Iran men's national soccer team is welcome to participate in the 2026 World Cup, but believes it is not appropriate that they be there "for their own life and safety".

The problem isn't the safety of the players or the fans if #Iran were to take part.

The problem is the number of male players who would have made asylum bids in the USA as the women did in Australia.

I totally agree but I tend to support the lesser of two evils.

It's disconcerting to think there are people worse than #Trump & Netanyahu but they're a couple of the best in the Middle East.

After observing how #drones have been used in the Russia-Ukraine war, I presume AlboPM is reconsidering strategy.

I expect that the rise of drones, will have resulted in studies of unmanned #submarines but defence won't comment publicly.

#Auspol #AUKUS

By those criteria the permanent members of the UN Security Council could do anything they liked and then veto any vote for war.

I have no trust in Netanyahu or Trump but if they had knowledge of a pending attack, I think they're within their rights to fight.

If the only choice is Littleproud or Canavan, then I think I'd prefer Littleproud.

What do you mean by a 'legal war'?

Russia does have nuclear missiles that could reach the USA but I don't think that justifies #Trump attacking them.

#war

Wasn't #Iran supplying #Russia with weapons, ammunition & drones for their war in #Ukraine?

If that rumour was true then it'd make the war totally legal.

Mistakes are frighteningly common during war but when it's children who suffer the pain is greatest.

(Am I being gullible to assume it was a mistake rather than a rogue individual or rogue nation?)

The British Empire wasn't really built on coal or #slavery (but some very wealthy British businessmen did profit from slavery).

Britain was a source of slaves for the Roman empire & it allowed local customs to persist in its own empire.
