Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Santos, the country’s second-biggest listed oil and gas producer, finalised a deal with a commodities trader at more than double recent market rates.

We should be taxing the fuckers into the ground.

War profiteering used to be a bad thing…

Israeli ambassador says it’s β€˜mind-boggling’ to question legal basis for war on Iran Israel’s new ambassador says Australia was on the β€œright side of history” by backing strikes against Iran as he warned against calls for a ceasefire.

"Israel’s new ambassador to Australia says it is mind-boggling anyone would question the legality of the US-Israeli strikes against Iran"

it is mind-boggling that this propagandist for a genocidal apartheid rogue state is cited as an authority on international law.

The hardest part of a limited two-week military action is the first several years.

Just ask Putin.

Australia raises concerns about a dangerous helicopter incident over the yellow sea

Albanese has now admitted that Australians were onboard the US nuclear sub that sank an Iranian vessel and left the crew to drown, in a violation of international law. This was always an inevitability of AUKUS. End AUKUS now.

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.

Adelaide University cancels literary festival event with UN Gaza investigator Francesca Albanese Festival organisers criticise the university for last-minute booking cancellation of event headlined by special rapporteur for Palestinian territories

Adelaide Uni - Academic freedom, freedom of speech!

Francesca Albanese - Great, let's discuss human rights, war crimes, and genocide.

Adelaide Uni - Oh, not that much freedom. Cancelled, soz.

Genuinely pathetic and embarrassing cowardice.

Guardian live blog extract: Headline: "US attacked Iran 'pre-emptively' after learning Israel was going to launch strikes - Rubio"

Text:
"The US attacked Iran β€œpre-emptively” on Saturday to protect US forces from retaliation after learning that Israel was going to strike, Marco Rubio told reporters on Monday.

The US secretary of state said: β€œThere absolutely was an imminent threat. And the imminent threat was, that we knew that if Iran was attacked, and we believed that they would be attacked, that they would immediately come after us. And we were not going to sit there and absorb a blow before we responded.”

He added: β€œWe knew that if we didn’t preemptively go after them before they launched those attacks, we would suffer higher casualties.”

Six US service members have been killed since Saturday."

This justification of an "imminent" threat is extraordinary. The US's position is that it had to strike because it knew that its ally Israel was going to attack and induce Iran to respond

Is there any objective way for Australia to recognise the line in the sand where it stops being in our best interests to slavishly follow American foreign policy?

Or do we just follow out of habit, or nostalgia, or cowardice...?

I don’t know when Labor governments stop trying to please conservatives and learn that even by adopting their talking points and agreeing they’ll still get slammed - SO WHY NOT STAND FOR THE ACTUAL TRUTH AND WHAT’S RIGHT but it’s not today. This goes for appointments too

Trump just jacked up tariffs against Australia by 50% (from 10 to 15%) as a late night reflex action to the Supreme Court decision. We matter so little in his world view. Can we stop pretending now, not a friend, not an ally.
