"why is Australia sending missiles to the Iran conflict?" asks Tom Lowrey, but forgets the most important reason:
It's because the Albanese govt's 'alliance' with the US and desperation on #AUKUS means they will do whatever Trump wants, including participate in an illegal war. #auspol

Not so much a cartoon, as the news illustrated. #auspol

The political and media establishment seem to have a pact to maintain the mythology that it is only the self-serving political duopoly that really matters.
"When the first US strikes hit Iran, the news story was deemed secondary to the much more monumental fallout occurring on the Kyle and Jackie O show. However, as E10 prices soared above two bucks a litre, some Aussies suspected not even Sandilands was to blame"

The Trump regime's massacre of 175 children shows the depths of their depravity.
That the president lied about it shows his utter moral bankruptcy.
The US military used a Tomahawk missile—named after a tool invented by America's Indigenous peoples that the US military mass murdered via genocide—to mass murder 175 children in Iran.
This is a level of arrogance, cruelty, depravity, and horror that words alone cannot adequately express.😓
The best policy is coming from the cross bench. #auspol

Late season crop.
Every word of this🧵👇.
So frustrating that the political & media establishment will paint The Greens as taking a radical anti-US or even disloyal stance.
When it is only they and a few braver independents in parliament who are standing up for international law, and sensible foreign policy. #auspol

"clearly, [Labor's] claim of being more progressive than the Liberals is wearing thin on women outside the party."
And not just women. #auspol
Better headline:
"The US massacred school children -
Trump lied about it."

Typical mainstream media framing to refer to *necessary* tax changes as simply "ambitious".
As @nickmckim.bsky.social noted on this site, we have a wealth inequality crisis that must be addressed urgently. #Budget2026 #auspol
The Greens will back Labor’s super tax changes. But let’s be honest about it. It barely scratches the surface of the wealth inequality crisis.
You should not be paying a higher tax rate on your wages than the richest super accounts. Yet that’s exactly what our system allows.

Six frames. Woman talking to girl. 1. “Sunday was International Women’s Day - the one day of the year when women get to…” (girl looks excited) 2. “…be controlling and violent toward their partners,…” (girl looks less thrilled) 3. “…tell men what to wear and what they can do with their bodies,…” (girl looks a bit stunned) 4. “…make men feel unsafe and blame them if they get attacked,…” (girl looks uncomfortable) 5. “…and curtail men’s liberty and make laws that serve our own interests.” (Girl looks depressed) 6. “Because men deserve a day off.” (Girl looks seriously unconvinced.)

2/2 Every time that the Albanese govt lines up with the Trump regime - as they now automatically do - they need to be reminded that it is the poisonous Stephen Miller agenda they are supporting. #auspol
1/2 Stephen Miller is "the head cheerleader for white nationalism, the architect of state terror against immigrants, and a determined enemy of the rule of law...
He’s the 21st century American version of a Nazi." @markjacob.bsky.social

"Labor MP Josh Burns has warned against linking the actions of the Israeli government to antisemitism in Australia".
Burns needs to talk to his Zionist friends, including Jillian Segal, who are going out of their way to conflate Judaism and Jews with the genocidal rogue state of Israel. #auspol
Giving asylum to Iranian women’s football team members is the right thing to do. But raises questions:
- why didn't the govt move as fast to assist Australian citizens, including children, stuck in Syria?
- why is Trump again running Australian policy? #auspol

"If the claim that Iran poses a grave threat to Israel is far-fetched, the claim that it poses a grave threat to the United States is even more absurd." @peterbeinart.bsky.social

Yes in theory - if only that were possible.
I'm in Australia, where US influence over our major political parties and foreign/defence policy is overwhelming.

Little has changed.
Except for the fact that Trump is incapable of strategic thinking,
or even thinking past his next media mention,
you might conclude that this was his purpose all along.
Dear @goldingcartoons.bsky.social, Thank you. THIS is outstanding. 🎨 #Russia #Israel #Trump #USPolitics
David Shoebridge is one of the few in parliament with the guts to speak up.
On anything to do with the Trump regime, or #AUKUS, or Israel, Labor and the Coalition are a duopoly of bootlickers.
