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

What a shallow response. They are screwing the whole country and that’s all you have to say?

Not at the moment 🤬

The current #Australian #labor federal government is so disappointing 😞
They are getting up there with Morrison & Howard, dragging us into another illegal & immoral war 🤬
And they claim to be a #leftwing party - what a joke!

Journalists to Western leaders: are the attacks on Iran legal?

Western leaders: let’s be clear, it’s a brutal regime that murders its own citizens, especially if they’re protesting the regime.

That wasn’t the question, and nobody is debating how bad the Iranian regime is.

Australia’s shameless support for the US attack on Iran makes us gullible, duplicitous, or both | Allan Behm For Anthony Albanese – as well as Mark Carney and Keir Starmer – to go along with Trump and Netanyahu’s cynical ploy negates any sense of moral authority we possess – a catastrophe for the rules-based...

Is anyone surprised at the global idiocy on display now from #Israel & possibly the #US too?
They didn’t like the way negotiations (that’s diplomacy idiots) we’re going, so instead just bomb then.
Absolutely disgusting 🤬

Hey Albo, before you make Australia follow stupid fucking Israel and the stupid fucking Unites States of America into some stupid fucking war with Iran, just know that I'm not fighting in it.

Fuck them.

And, because I know you won't, fuck you for not calling them out.

For anyone trying to absolve @albomp.bsky.social for saying @tamepunk.bsky.social is difficult, here’s a tip: look at the expression on his face when he said this. He clearly meant what he said and his half-arsed apology attempt was totally disingenuous. His true nature is revealed.

My opinion re the #Australian #IS wives & children, in overseas camps:
Bring them back to Australia and if anyone is believed to be guilty of terrorism or other crimes; charge them & try them in Australian courts.
Simple really.

#NSW is well & truly a #PoliceState now 😡
We can thank @albomp.bsky.social (stupidly inviting a war criminal) & Chris Minns (making peaceful protest illegal at the whim of police) for the disgraceful scenes in Sydney.
Joh Bjelke-Petersen would have been be proud of you. The rest of the us are angry

On camera...#NSW Police, or Mossad #Minns Shock Troops in action? #Albo, truly it's a disgrace to see #Australian police beating up peaceful #Australian citizens, and for what? To protect a man #IsaacHerzog, a man charged with committing genocide in #Palestine! Shameful stuff Mate shameful! #auspol

The invitation is a really bad idea and just indicates how tone-deaf Albanese is to the wishes of the Australian community 😡

Amazon has cut a combined 28,000 jobs since October. Its CEO made $40M+ in 2024

UPS has announced 78,000 job cuts since last year. Its CEO made $24M.

HP announced up to 6,000 layoffs in November. Its CEO made $21M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

My lovely views have gone c/o Fire Smoke.
- I feel for everyone directly impacted by these fires 😞
- if you still have masks left over from Covid, might be a good time to get them out
- if you have air purifiers & your house is smokey, close doors & windows & get them running
Take care everyone 💗

Crackdown.

For everyone in the Southern part of Australia, check your Weather Apps & Your Emergency Apps; it’s gonna be very hot in a lot of places.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

I don’t know whether there should be a Royal Commission into the #BondiMassacre; but surely it would be better to do so, just to take the politics out of it.
But a Royal commission should have a broad scope that includes Islamophobia and other influences that may have contributed to this event.

How was my 1st day of 2026?
After going to bed maybe after 3am 🙄, I ate mostly (very nice!) leftover Fruit Pavlova, I cut most of the grass in back garden & raked, I had a healthy salad for dinner (offsetting the Pav 🤣), watched more The Witcher, break to water garden.
How’s 2026 been treating you?

This guy (and his wife) also deserves praise!

Very sad!!!

My heart goes out for those killed tonight in the massacre at Bondi in Sydney and to their friends and families and bystanders caught up in this horrible event. Such extreme violence is abhorrent to civilised people and must be condemned 😞😞😞

Brittany Higgins declared bankrupt by federal court Former senator Linda Reynolds's bid to have Brittany Higgins declared bankrupt has succeeded in a federal court.

Though Linda Reynolds won her court case, her actions, including suing a victim of sexual violence, tell me everything I need to know about her character.
