@senatorwong.bsky.social surely it is time for #DFAT to offer asylum to trans people from the USA?
Especially trans kids and their parents.
Screenshot of journal article. Title: Alan Renouf, Malcolm Booker and “The Departmentof Foreign Affairs in Crisis” in the Australian Policy Worldof the 1970s. Author: James Cotton (UNSW). Abstract: In the late 1970s, for the first time, veterans of Australian diplomacy published multiple books that disputed the fundamentals of the national diplomatic pattern, their projects impelled by what they saw as a “crisis” in foreign policy and its management under the Fraser government. The putative crisis was occasioned by a drastic withdrawal of funding from the foreign affairs and aid sectors, the concentration of foreign policy initiative in the hands of the prime minister, and the rise to prominence of a group of personal political advisers. Alan Renouf and Malcolm Booker both rejected the accustomed and unqualified reliance upon the United States as a security and diplomatic partner, appealing to current developments—notably the Vietnam withdrawal—to indicate waning US will and capability. For Booker, the emergence of Soviet strategic interest in the Indian Ocean region indicated that Australia would be forced to deal with regional powers on new terms; Renouf was more sanguine on the prospects for managing regional relations through a middle-power strategy. In the trajectory of their careers, both Renouf and Booker were victims of the “crisis” of the 1970s, though estranged by its bureaucratic consequences.

For anyone concerned or curious about where Australia’s foreign policy including AUKUS, is taking us in this Trump dominated era, Clinton Fernandes' book "Turbulence" is an essential read. #auspol #DFAT
Quite worrying that @senatorwong.bsky.social would take action on #Israeli claims about #UN without checks. I suppose our #DFAT people also believe everything the #OrangeTurnip says. #auspol
@tonyburkemp.bsky.social
Seriously #DFAT and @senatorwong.bsky.social need a full inquiry into enabling the current selective propaganda about the brutal #war #crimes and #genocide committed by #Israel. #auspol #TruthInMedia
This is very worrying. We know the #Israeli policy and practice is VERY discriminatory. Can #DFAT and @senatorwong.bsky.social
lift their game or will they be silent. #auspol
#Australians released from Israeli detention after alleged beatings, according to #DFAT report
Seven Australian activists arrested while trying to break #Israel' s naval blockade of #Gaza have been deported to Jordan
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...
Other countries have got many of their people, abducted on the high seas and illegally detained, out of Israel.
Why haven't we #DFAT and @senatorwong.bsky.social?
@matthewdoran1.bsky.social @erictlozek.bsky.social please keep them in the public's mind.

Thank you @davidshoebridge.bsky.social the foreign affairs support for children is. It’s my absent in Gaza. It we never would have heard of this. c’mon @senatorwong.bsky.social how about you dial UP #DFAT support for Australians trapped overseas. #auspol
@senatorwong.bsky.social what is #DFAT doing to stop torture of the Australian flotilla members kidnapped and held hostage by Israel?
@matthewdoran1.bsky.social @erictlozek.bsky.social please use the platform of the #ABC keep these people in the public mind.

#DFAT officials supporting five Australians in #Israeli prison after they were detained on pro-Palestinian #flotilla
The Global Movement to #Gaza group have raised concerns about the conditions in which the #Australians are being held in detention
www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
#DFAT urging Israel to treat the "Australians in detention" (it's a fucking prison and they're clearly being treated as criminals) in accordance with international law is an absolute joke. Their "detention" is a VIOLATION of international law, and Israel is a rogue state. #auspol
Perhaps they need to ring #DFAT and see if someone there can explain our government’s #Zionist support. #auspol
Think this is a test for @australianlabor.bsky.social and #DFAT. Do they work for Aussies or are they actually committed to #Isreal and #US interests? #auspol
I feel the same anguish about the Australian #ALP #government and #DFAT and #DEEWC - statements but standing up for nothing.
