Nothing to be debated at the ALP National Conference has the gravity, and implications of the crazy AUKUS deal. Peter Garrett highlights this in his Guardian article. Sacrificing our sovereignty to the USA demands open debate and critical analysis. Avoiding debate is a disgrace!

The US continues to supply Israel with the weapons to kill children and commit genocide. The UN report should trigger a stronger reaction from our parliament and a real debate about sanctions on Israeli war criminals. We need leadership not meaningless performative responses!

Richard Marles claims Labor has been “forward leaning” in condemning Israels treatment of protestors. Mealy mouthed, performative, expressions of concern do not hide the fact that we have been weak and cowardly in not condemning Israel’s Trump backed, genocide of Palestinians.🤬

The ABC’s emphasis in this coverage (left) is wrong, in my opinion. Attacking the Welcome To Country does not represent a crisis of community cohesion. It’s an extreme right orchestrated campaign, as the Guardian (right) reported correctly.

Our govt and US/ Hegseth fan boy Marles must recognise that “might is right and deterrence through strength” claptrap is being exposed every day in the Trump Middle East fiasco. Appeasing Trump, abandoning diplomacy and peace paying $368B for mythical AUKUS subs is madness!

💥Russian interference in Hungary’s election campaign and the Kremlin’s open support for Viktor Orbán are now a key issue. No wonder this guy and his Matryoshka creation were very popular at today’s opposition march in Budapest

$Billions of public funds to US imperialism and the military industrial complex. We would create more jobs by building a good society, public housing, transport, hospital, and education infrastructure. AUKUS, a crazy capitulation to an autocratic, divided, and declining empire.

I like the govt's plan to ban smartphones and social media in schools but nobody's mentioned the glaring hole in it

I'm sure if we just give that Hitler fellow the Sudetenland, we'll have peace for our time.

I’ve been stalwart backer of transatlantic alliance all my life. I understand why Europeans have so far trod softly/tried to keep Trump onside. But, there comes a time when you have to face reality. The US is no longer our ally. Its defense guarantee is worthless. Time to kick ass back🧵

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi. A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.
