This is a chilling crime. A shame on our country. The Iranian ship was unarmed. The US knew this. The sailors were murdered by our navy, and the survivors were left to die at sea.

One of the original purposes of public education was to promote social cohesion. Public schools were established in Australia in the 19th century to overcome bitter divisions between Catholics & Protestants.

Spain’s MEP Irene Montero speaking to reporters
Irene Montero: No woman has ever been freed by American bombs or illegal aggression — Not in Syria. Not in Iraq. Not in Afghanistan. It will not happen in Iran either
When they want to sell their oil wars, their wars for profit, their imperial wars — they hide behind women’s rights to justify them
You’re absolutely right, Jon, and that’s what I meant, too. The Australian PM said the Australian crew “did not participate” - that would not have been an option for them, and they were put in that position by a government that failed to understand the risks of Aukus under Trump.
Fascinating to watch 🇫🇷, then 🇬🇧, then 🇮🇹, now 🇩🇪 start to acknowledge what 🇪🇸's government recognised from the very start: the Trump-Netanyahu war on Iran is a reckless intervention conducted without regard for rules of war and without a strategy for what comes next.

The step-son of the NT attorney-general’s sister!doesn’t even lose his license after hitting two Aboriginal pedestrians with his car, killing one, calling them “dogs” and “oxygen thieves”. Serving time in home detention. Australia in 2026.
The words of a real leader. A leader of courage and conviction. A leader who puts peace before craven compliance and subjugation of his nation to an illegal war and an autocratic warmongering US President.
Well done Spanish PM Pedro Sanchez!
In 2022 oil prices doubled and gas prices quadrupled after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The Australian govt needs to act quickly to ensure that domestic prices are protected from price spikes internationally and that we get a fair return on windfall profits from multinationals' exports of our LNG.

Indigenous Australians share the racist messages they receive online: ‘No one’s feeling safe’
“The 312-foot Dena and its 130-member crew, many of them musicians in the Iranian navy band, had just finished participating in an Indian government naval exercise and cultural exchange that the U.S. Navy had also participated in and were on the way home on Wednesday.”
Amazing time for the US to have undermined its local EV manufacturing sector.
The US government wants to get traffic flowing again, or it is subject to compounding crises involving food production, transport fuels, and inflation for anything that contains plastic. Using public finance to underwrite massively risky ventures is what you do when you made a very big mistake.
He's the nephew of the AG in the NT. He got home detention for killing a man with his car on purpose then bragging about it and seriously injuring another man. They were both Aboriginal and it was a hate crime.

Those with moral courage lead and can build health and prosperity lasting for generations. Those that force respect from their bombs lose that respect as soon as they stop bombing. They leave nothing but rubble, death and poverty behind. No to #aukus #auspol

Craven “spent years using his platform to attack the very institutions and people he is now supposed to be assessing impartially.”
But this was never about impartial assessment.
It's another Zionist-inspired, government-funded move to suppress any criticism of the genocidal Israel regime. #auspol
As someone who routinely mocks permabullish clickbait oil forecasts, I want to be exceptionally clear:
Crude WILL go to $200/bbl, en route higher, unless traffic through the Strait resumes.
Not clickbait, but rather brutal physics and necessary economic incentives.
