“No More Mr Nice Guy ”says the dangerous disgusting autocrat Trump. He is more a psychopathic gangster than a “ leader of the free world”.
Our politicians must stop appeasing this danger to humanity. Grow a backbone and call him and his regime out!
Yes!
We need an unequivocal statement from Labor that Australia will not be dragged into an illegal war led by Netanyahu and Trump.
Obfuscation, weakness, sycophancy, fear and appeasement of Trump weakens our economy sovereignty and standing on the world stage. Courage not cowardice!
The madness of AUKUS led to support for Trump’s doomed attack on Iran.
Appeasing a madman is not diplomacy it is cowardly capitulation.
Diplomatically distancing the govt from Trump is too little too late. We are paying a huge price for this grave miscalculation
In the context of AUKUS Marles must clarify if he continues to support senior Australian military personnel keeping information from the Australian govt. Our defence force must have loyalty to Australia not a dangerous “ally” or to Trump! This is alliance gone mad!
In 2018 Richard Marles gave a speech on the US alliance.He referenced god, the special relationship, rules based order, shared values. He condoned Australian military personnel embedded with US forces keeping information from the Australian govt. How naive, how dangerously dumb!
It’s time the Labor Caucus grows a spine and demands that the Cabinet and Hegseth’s mate Marles unequivocally condemns Trump, Netanyahu and Hegseth. Religious extremism underpins this illegal,disastrous war. Working class Aussies will pay the price not warmongering politicians.
Typical response from the “I love US lobby”. Switzer attacks Trump while ignoring the long history of US imperialism, hegemony and support for Israeli war crimes.
When Trump goes we will still face “might is right”, militarism and aggression.
We truly have a dangerous “ally”.
Hopefully Albo will announce the govt will cease support for the illegal Trump/Netanyahu war. Recognise that US “democracy” has been hijacked with no constraints on Trump. Scrap the crazy AUKUS “deal”. Announce a plan B for defence and pursue peace not war. We can but hope!
Don’t normally pay much attention to a speech by Raff Ciccone, chair of the toothless PJCIS.
He attacks those, like myself, who oppose AUKUS as anti West and making Aus “less safe”.
This is shallow, intellectually deficient nonsense from a deluded Trump/ Netanyahu sycophant.
So we are “artful” in sending surveillance planes to the Gulf.
We avoid being immediately drawn into an illegal war conducted by Trump and Netanyahu and this is seen as a master stroke of diplomatic cunning.😳
FFS just stand for peace and diplomacy and against military madness!
So Marles won’t give a “running” commentary on Trump’s disgusting attack on Australia and hasn’t ruled out securing the Straight of Hormuz.
Rule it out or explain how we could do this.
Would we send troops, military personnel?
What has he been saying to his mad mate Hegseth?
I’ll tell you what would be great:
Just one Labor politician with the intestinal fortitude to tell Trump and Netanyahu to get nicked!
Just one who calls for Labor to abandon the madness of AUKUS.
Just one who stands against appeasement of US and Israeli warmongering.
Just one!
Murdoch rag “The Australian” claims that the Trump/Netanyahu attack on Iran is a just war!
Labor must call out the madness of two unhinged, fascist megalomaniacs using militarism to promote imperial ambitions.
We need leadership not appeasement of illegal wars of aggression.
Claims by Richard Marles that AUKUS was on track must be set against reality and facts. Janes, the authoritative defence journal, documents major cost, design and delivery problems with the UK sub programme that we rely on.
Support the public inquiry into AUKUS to get the facts!
So Barnaby Joyce thinks racism, climate denialism, anti worker rhetoric, sucking up to Gina Rinehart, rorting the electoral system, voodoo economics and disgusting parliamentary stunts equates to mainstream politics. He is dreaming.
Albo says he’s looking at every practical option to ease pressure on the public,
Here’s a couple of options:
Deal with the cause not the symptoms.
Stop appeasing Trump and Netanyahu tell them to cease their illegal war.
Build independence, cancel the AUKUS madness.
Put Aus first
Wow! Peter Hartcher’s SMH talking sense!
If this is not a wake up call to the Labor Cabinet nothing will be. Surely the political, economic and social impact of US/ Israel imperialism must dawn on the Cabinet. If not, the Caucus, branches and membership must demand peace not war!
Richard Marles must stop treating the public as if they are stupid! As this illegal war continues, Israel expands its borders, and civilians die crude verbal gymnastics are used to defend and hide Labor’s appeasement of Trump and Netanyahu.
Truth, the first casualty in war!
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!
Abby Martin’s documentary “ Earths Greatest Enemy” exposes the military industrial complex as the biggest contributor to global warming and environmental pollution. A must see for communities who have been targeted to host AUKUS and US force posture bases in Australia.
On a panel discussing peace and the need to oppose militarisation, AUKUS and deeper integration with the Trump regime. The opposition to the Vietnam war and the war in Iraq started small and grew massively
Help fund the public inquiry into AUKUS it’s important to fight back!
Thanks Phantom Rooster! Hope this link works as the public deserve transparency on AUKUS.

I know people are doing it tough but could I ask you help fund a public inquiry into AUKUS? Click on the link for details.

So many questions so few answers.
If you are in Hobart on Sunday come to Moonah Arts Centre, join others who are concerned about increased militarisation, AUKUS and the loss of our sovereignty.Watch a great documentary film about the futility of war and join the struggle for a peaceful and safe world.
Labor members are “quietly alarmed” as the cabinet supports megalomaniacs Trump and Netanyahu. They slaughter civilians, blow school children to pieces, ignore international law. and threaten world peace and Labor are mute.😳
Did Pat Conroy explain this sycophantic appeasement?
The working class pay the price when political “ leaders” abandon principles, and fail to call out the madness consuming the US and Israeli regimes.
The political elite will not bear the brunt of rising prices, unaffordable petrol, food and electricity embattled Aussies will!
The Israeli press are contemplating Trump “chickening out”. It’s about time our govt showed the courage to put Australia’s interests before those of US/ Israeli hegemony and their psychopathic leaders.
Sacrificing our sovereignty and economy to warmongering fools is unacceptable
Penny Wong deploying her considerable intellectual and political skills on #Insiders.
Unfortunately they are being put to a cause that does not promote peace common sense and our sovereignty.
We are being sucked into war and no amount of verbal gymnastics can hide this reality.
