Shouted down by common sense. The end of Albo's secrecy bill? - Michael West It entrenches and broadens government secrecy, contradicting Albanese's own transparency pledge, but the FOI Amendment Bill is dead.

"As of last night, Sen Payman did not have Coalition or Greens' support" but FOI Bill is probably headed for 'political junkyard @mrrexpatrick.bsky.social

My thoughts exactly

Epstein had a daily quota too

He had Maxwell supply him with three girls a day

He raped three girls a day for 10 years

Maxwell was the brains.

She had an elaborate, pyramid scheme, She literally did everything and also raped little girls .

She’s a monster

An Unexpected Path to Hold War Criminals Accountable It’s at the national courts, not the ICC or ICJ, where Palestinians have the best chance to see justice.

War crimes are forever, and jurisdiction is universal. In 50 years time, former Russian and Israeli soldiers will still be looking over their shoulders wherever they go, knowing their crimes are on the record.

The USA’s voluntary electoral system has given the “free” world a demagogue. Trump’s meeting with Putin will put this demagoguery to a now lethal test: a trained KGB operative v an American TV humiliator.

If you’re wondering how ICE recruitment and training is going under Kristi Noem—South Park already nailed it.

Australia should double down on Virginia Class and withdraw from SSN AUKUS, confirms risk report Australia should withdraw from the SSN-AUKUS program to double down on a larger Virginia Class submarine fleet, according to a newly published risk report.

An "independent" risk analysis compares Australia acquiring Virginia Class from the United States vs SSN-AUKUS nuclear-powered submarines under #AUKUS

The outline of the risks is worth a read.

IMHO ditch AUKUS entirely.

Gendered violence in war isn’t a flaw. It’s a feature When people ask, “Why are children always the first to suffer in war?” I find myself thinking about Gaza.

When people ask why children suffer first in war, maybe we need to stop saying “because war is cruel” or “because they’re vulnerable”. In Gaza, they suffer first because someone chooses it. #auspol #Gaza

Priorities.

We found the waste, fraud, and abuse…

Same.

GOP Utah Senate President Slammed After Changing Law To Help Relative Who Raped 13-Year-Old Absolutely horrendous.

This is absolutely horrendous.

Heinous.

The AUKUS Submarine Deal is Dead The promise to give Australia nuclear submarines is collapsing. A severe industrial crisis in both the U.S. and UK means the AUKUS security deal's central pillar is no longer viable.

“In April, the Pentagon initiated a 30-day review to see if it could simultaneously meet the needs of the US Navy and the Australian demand. Four months later, the review is still not public, but the answer is already clear: the US cannot do both.” #AUKUS #auspol

The Australian govt should immediately announce $500m funding for mRNA vaccine development.

Get those scientists here.

Just an amazing opportunity handed to us by the brain worm infested loon.

Jillian Segal + her murderous zionist lobby getting more of a voice in our parliament than First Nations ppl could ever achieve - even with a required REFERENDUM - is deeply sick

Labor leads in two Victorian state polls, but Premier Jacinta Allan’s approval tanks

Of course it does she is actually a very competent woman and the media can't cope with that. #auspol

No lobbying reform commitment after transparency call A scathing assessment of how corporate interests lobby federal politicians has sparked calls for stronger laws and oversight...

Trust in government is at an all-time low. The Centre for Public Integrity has released a set of recommendations for greater transparency and accountability. Most are covered by my private member’s bill - the Clean Up Politics Act.

Robodebt RC reforms needed ‘pronto’ Robodebt saw over 400,000 Australian citizens targeted and relentlessly pursued – mafia style – over largely fictitious debts, courtesy of their own democratically elected Coalition Government....

Given no one has been held accountable in the 2 yrs since Robodebt RC the sobering takeaway is:
If you're a member of the elite & you screw over innocent people there'll be no consequences for you.
Robodebt RC reforms ‘pronto’

"AUKUS was cooked up by a few blokes in suits and uniforms behind closed doors, sprung on the Australian people overnight."

Australia has an opportunity to get out of the AUKUS security pact. We should take it.
