Seriously. It’s time to sink AUKUS. The writing is on the wall Australians need to find peace & security with Asia, not against it as a foreign outpost of fading Anglosphere empires a world away David Crowe SMH: “Trump Has Sent A Wrecking Ball Through Old Alliances” www.smh.com.au/politics/fed...
Trump has sent a wrecking ball through old alliances. The implications for Australia are severe
In a world where Donald Trump doesn’t appear to know what AUKUS is, Australia can no longer rely on decades of friendship and shared values.

This really highlights the extent to which Labor has been wedged on foreign policy by the LNP, putting it in conflict with traditional Labor values.
Sarah Schwartz@sarahschwartz.bsky.social · 2y agoMy article in @theguardian.com about how Peter Dutton uses the Jewish community as political footballs to spread bigotry, which makes us all less safe.

Hi, I’m God. I had nothing to do with saving that guy’s life or making him president.
Appalled by the union bashing, misleading reporting by the media, and their failure to adequately get across the details of the EBA & maintenance issues which caused the cancellation of services #sydneytrains
The LNP agenda summed up by Friendlyjordies is "make mining elites richer" #auspol

My article about how the far right is targeting boys and men. On social media they are exploiting men’s propensity to be protectors of their families, especially when they are led to believe there is an enemy at their door. Cue Dutton & a scary minority. www.thesaturdaypaper.com.au/2024/12/21/y...
