Retired minimalist. Found a place in the Central Wheatbelt of WA. Every day I'm amazed with the resilience of this Earth and the persistent damage we humans inflict upon it through consumerism. Heart failure survivor. O

Albanese’s utter delight in this war is nauseating. It’s like he’s hoping he might get a membership at Mar-a-Lago
3 Australians involved.

We should be taxing the fuckers into the ground.
War profiteering used to be a bad thing…

Israel planned this war on Iran for 40 years. Everything else is a smoke screen.

I had to read this twice.
"The Iranian frigate torpedoed by a US submarine had just been participating in a multinational naval exercise in India, which included an Australian warship, the HMAS Warramunga."
Bit unsure about shared values and the rules-based order?

"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on America’s side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

When Australia elected the Albanese Labor Govt, we were hoping for principled, progressive politics. Even as they increased their majority in the 2025 election, Albo's Govt moved even further to the Right, embracing angry, authoritarian rhetoric in their support for #Israel and the #USA. 😔 #auspol
"Yes, they were there" says a duplicitous man in a deadpan voice, "but they didn't pull the trigger and acted within the law" whatever the fuck that means.
Albo has clarified that the three Australians onboard the US submarine that torpedoed the Iranian ship were in the loo at the time which is a well-recognised defence under international law to the charge of waging aggressive war
I suspect their department heads and the treasury have a good head for finance.
Indeed. A thought that has crossed my mind often.
Iran, the centre of science and technology is some of the earliest inventions known to man and still they advance.

The ABC & right wing media pose themselves as being on both sides of the debate, yet the editors persist with giving these fringe groups a voice.
A good example is PHON.
Pauline has never been able to justify her existing policies after 40 yrs, yet the legacy media keeps amplifying her message.
This dude has fallen off the Radar completely.
I guess that's what happens when you become a supporter of AUKUS, Trump & additional supporter of the violent dispossession of Palestinians by the Zionist colonialists.
Another disappointment.
Let's hope he rebuilds his reputation in Asian diplomacy.
Under the Duopoly, Australia has long been a lap dog of America, and quick to follow it into futile, ill-conceived wars of choice, around the globe.
For decades we’ve paid a price in many lives, and an inordinate waste of public funds, kissing Uncle Sam’s rear end.

If the USA & Israel were bombing Sydney Melbourne & Brisbane at the same intensity as they're bombing Iranian cities, Australians would be saying bring it on, in defence.
This illegal war is all about stepping into the shoes of defenders.
Iran is bad but the USA/Israel are worse, much worse.
Iran seeking to escalate conflict, EU's Kallas says reut.rs/46HC2So
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
It's great that 95% or more of the population now have control over essential public capital works & these decisions now out of the hands of a few prepared to hold us all to ransom.
Laws change because the majority of us are reasonable & decent citizens.

One year ago, the Liberals said they'd ban working from home.
Labor will always protect your rights at work - working from home, penalty rates and your right to disconnect.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
She'd have been a magnificent President when you put her side by side with the "Trumpet of War" President that was chosen.
What they need though, is an equally arrogant, strong debating narcissist who can string more than two sentences together & get their point across in a fraction of the time.
I respect Kamela but surely it's time for the new, further left, less corporate, guard...

Spot on, it's nuts that our tax dollars are being spent on obsolete technology that is both unproven and non existent.
The advisors and the team that put this proposition together for these dullards in Government need to be exposed and employed in the public service instead of their present jobs.
Labor has so many reasons to get Australia out of AUKUS.
Canada sees it’s a dud deal and doesn’t want to join any more.
There’s another illegal Trump & Netanyahu war in the Middle East that Australia should not be supporting.
Lyle and his Christofascist ideology is well supported by a tiny fringe group of anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorists.
Could anyone take him seriously, certainly not our justice system, thankfully.
