Like even if this all ends without an escalation from the present level of bloodshed Trump and his administration should be held accountable for the threat alone. Making this threat, on its own, is a crime against humanity.
Assistant Foreign Minister Matt Thistlethwaite reiterated that Australia wanted a de-escalation in hostilities but declined to directly comment on the remarks. "That's why Australia has been involved in diplomatic efforts with like-minded nations internationally to call on Iran to stop weaponising the Strait of Hormuz, to stop attacking their neighbouring countries and try and de-escalate this," he told ABC's Radio National Breakfast. Asked if Trump's remarks were helpful, he said "all parties to this conflict need to ensure that they are abiding by international law".
Nationals leader Matt Canavan has urged Anthony Albanese to make it clear he doesn't support Donald Trump's latest Iran threat. The US president has claimed on social media "a whole civilisation will die" if the US and Iran do not reach a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz by 10am AEST. Speaking with ABC's Radio National Breakfast, Canavan says he doesn't support Trump's rhetoric. "I think now's the time for Australia to, and the prime minister to, make it very clear that we can't support this type of approach to any kind of conflict," he said.
If Matt fucking Canavan makes you look like a simp for genocide maybe it's time you fuck the fuck off
@amyremeikis.bsky.social's new book just showed up in time for the long weekend, let's go.
The greatest gift anyone could ever give me was helping this little book beat Tony Abbottās myth making of Australia. Thank you š
Albo is turning the temperature down by backing an illegal war against a sovereign state, ok, cool are we all feeling cool
When Malcolm Turnbull (rightly) called Angus Taylor an idiot, why didn't one single journalist immediately follow up with "so why did you make him a minister more than once?"
Male parliamentarians shouting "rip her apart" at their female colleagues in the chamber but it's us that needs to turn down the temperature.
A neo-Nazi rally outside Parliament House with nary a cop to be found
Obviously there is only one way you will guarentee being safe from cops on our streets
The NSW cops are being so overtly aggressive it would almost seem like they were under orders to make sure the protest became violent.
Australian cops act like Australian cops
Online: what are we, a bunch of YANKS?
We've shut down the busiest pedestrian intersection in Naarm/Melbourne because our government invited a genocidal war criminal to our country
itās genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world
Just remember that right now the Albanese Govt is spending billions to the fund the USA military.
From the River to the Sea Palestine Will Be Free.
Israel is an evil nation led by murderers.
Royal commissions, famously the way to put an end to problems forever
Crazy how the US has got ICE just executing people in the streets, bombing foreign countries and kidnapping their leaders and wife and Albo is just gonna send them $400 billion for funzies
A lot of useless idiots think opposing naked US imperialism in Venezuela means blindly supporting the Maduro government - I have no loyalty to the ruling class of any nation, only to the international working class. Sorry to disappoint x
Christmas came a week late for every proponent of nuclear proliferation on Earth yesterday.

Pretty misogynistic post bro
Why is no one asking more follow up questions about the suggestion that the federal opposition leader has personally witnessed union members abusing elderly women, presumably in public, days before a federal election, but somehow there has been no member of the media to document the incident?
Several times now, I've heard Peter Dutton share stories of "ETU and CFMEU members abusing elderly women" at polling places. He claims that he's seen it first hand.
For the record, Joe Hockey is a defence lobbyist who stands to make millions from defence contracts with the US and other allies. To just describe him in interviews as a former US ambassador and not his CURRENT vested interest role is not just irresponsible, it's lying.
Whatever you do, don't Google "penny wong marriage equality" lol
Mossad has an opportunity to do the funniest thing of all time

The Western world may be backsliding into authoritarianism by the hour but they still haven't found a way to stop me vaping in the toilets
