The ABC are really embarrassing themselves by even going there. Who- even among their LNP-voting audience- actually values ScoMo’s opinion on *anything*?

Scum-o made the racist Abbott the minister for Aboriginal people. Imagine my surprise, it was like when they appointed Lachlan Macquarie "Protector of Aboriginals". The man who ordered troops to hang Aboriginal people from the trees so the survivors wouldn't return to their Country. Truth Telling.😡

Dear #ABC Australia, why are you giving a platform to yesterday's men? Last week it was #Morriscum this week #ToeKneeABot, will it be #LittleJohnny next week? All were hopeless PM's and are of no relevance in #Australia today, indeed they were all irrelevant when PM! #Auspol

'Disgusting and incompetent': Trump demands CNN reporter be 'thrown out like a dog' Although President Donald Trump is known for avoiding e-mail and text messaging, he is an avid social media user. Trump constantly used Twitter, now X, during his first presidency. But these days, his primary social media outlet is his own Truth Social platform — where he angrily raged against his media foes late Wednesday night, June 25. Trump was especially angry at CNN. The U.S. president, who was in The Hague, Netherlands to attend the 2025 NATO Summit, posted, in all caps, "FAKE NEWS CNN IS SO DISGUSTING AND INCOMPETENT. SOME OF THE DUMBEST ANCHORS IN THE BUSINESS!" READ MORE: 'Unnecessarily chaotic': How red state Republicans are quietly fighting back against Trump Trump singled out CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand, calling for her to be fired. Trump posted, "She should be IMMEDIATELY reprimanded, and then thrown out 'like a dog.' She lied on the Laptop from Hell Story, and now she lied on the Nuclear Sites Story, attempting to destroy our Patriot Pilots by making them look bad when, in fact, they did a GREAT job and hit 'pay dirt' — TOTAL OBLITERATION!" The 79-year-old president added, "She should not be allowed to work at Fake News CNN. It's people like her who destroyed the reputation of a once great Network. Her slant was so obviously negative, besides, she doesn't have what it takes to be an on camera correspondent, not even close. FIRE NATASHA!" But CNN, according to the Daily Beast's Cameron Adams, said, in an official statement, that they are '100 percent' behind Bertrand.

I miss my real ABC ... telling the truth, not right-wing con-machine, that it is now. Bit by bit, its integrity and high journalistic credentials have been whittled away. I can't believe that we have to put up with ABBOTT again...or Morrison

I couldn't agree more, Peggy. #Albo 's first job should have been backing out of the deal. There is no way Trumpet will honour the deal anyway. 😡

Scott Morrison’s legacy is AUKUS. For allies of US such as Australia, the time for reviewing their attachment to Washington’s reckless and aggressive interventions around the world is overdue. AUKUS bind us permanently to US which leaves world less stable and Aust another US military base target.

Scott Morrison's Hawaii horror show: how a PR disaster unfolded The PM went on holiday for a few days. It didn’t need to look like a political crime scene. But as usual, the cover-up made everything 10 times worse

“But Mr Morrison’s office insists that claims he is holidaying in Hawaii are ‘wrong’ while refusing disclose his location or for how long he is on leave.
The prime minister’s office will not confirm whether or not Morrison is in Hawaii. The lack of information or confirmation starts a story hunt.” ➡️

Dear ABC, if Scott Morrison is the only person offering to provide an opinion on ANYTHING, please don't call him back. The Australian people have not recovered from his Robodebt, his Covid response, his multiple ministries, even his God. 😡

Trump just broke the law — again After the United States bombed Iran’s three nuclear facilities on Sunday, US President Donald Trump said its objective was a “stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world’s number one state sponsor of terror”. US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth echoed this justification, saying:The president authorised a precision operation to neutralize the threats to our national interest posed by the Iranian nuclear program and the collective self-defenze of our troops and our ally Israel. Is this a legitimate justification for a state to launch an attack on another? I believe, looking at the evidence, it is not. Was it self defense? Under the UN Charter, there are two ways in which a state can lawfully use force against another state: * the UN Security Council authorizes force in exceptional circumstances to restore or maintain international peace and security under Chapter 7 * the right of self defense when a state is attacked by another, as outlined in Article 51. On the first point, there was no UN Security Council authorization for either Israel or the US to launch an attack on Iran to maintain international peace and security. The security council has long been concerned about Iran’s nuclear program and adopted a series of resolutions related to it. However, none of those resolutions authorized the use of military force. With regard to self defence, this right is activated if there is an armed attack against a nation. And there’s no evidence of any recent Iranian attacks on the US. There have been incidents involving attacks on US assets by Iranian-backed proxy groups in the region, such as the Houthi rebels in Yemen and Hezbollah. In his address to the nation on Saturday night, Trump made reference to historical incidents the US believes the Iranians were responsible for over the years. However, none of these actions is directly related to the strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities. What about a preemptive strike? Another possible ground the US can use to mount a case for its bombardments is anticipatory or preemptive self defence. Both of these aspects of self defense are controversial. They have never been clearly endorsed by the UN Security Council or the International Court of Justice. The US has sought to assert a fairly wide-ranging, robust interpretation of the right of self defense over many years, including both anticipatory self defense and preemptive self defense (which is particularly relevant in the Iran strikes). The major point of distinction between the two is whether a potential attack is imminent. Anticipatory self defense is in response to an attack on the brink of happening, such as when armed forces are massing on a border. Preemptive self defense is a step further removed, before a genuine threat materializes. Famously, in 2002, the administration of President George W. Bush adopted what is known as the “Bush doctrine” following the September 11 terrorist attacks. This doctrine was framed around the notion of preemptive self defence justifying a strike on another nation. This was one of the grounds the US used to justify its military intervention of Iraq in 2003 – that Iraq’s alleged program of weapons of mass destruction posed an imminent threat to the US. However, this justification was widely discredited when no evidence of these weapons was found. Did Iran pose an imminent threat? With regard to Iran’s nuclear program, an imminent threat would require two things: Iran having nuclear weapons capability, and an intent to use them. On capability, there have been debates about Iran’s transparency with respect to its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). But, importantly, the IAEA is the body that has the authorisation and capability to make judgements about a nation’s nuclear program. And it said, at this point in time, Iran did not yet have nuclear weapons capability. As Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA told the BBC:[…]whereas until the early 2000s there used to be […] a structured and systematic effort in the direction of a nuclear device, that is not the case now. Trump’s statement in which he referred to the US military operation against Iran’s “nuclear enrichment facilities” was particularly striking. There was no reference to weapons. So, even the language coming out of the White House does not make reference to Iran possessing weapons at this point in time. Trump’s address to the nation after the Iran strikes. Further, many states have nuclear weapons capability, but they’re not necessarily showing intent to use them. Iran has a long track record of aggressive rhetoric against Israel and the US. But the critical question here is whether this equates to an intent to strike. What about collective defense? Israel began its military campaign against Iran on June 13, also arguing for the need for anticipatory or preemptive self defence to counter the threat posed by Iran’s nuclear program. If Israel is exercising its right to self defense consistently with the UN Charter, as it claims, it can legitimately call on the assistance of its allies to mount what is known as “collective self defence” against an attack. On all the available evidence, there’s no doubt the Israelis and Americans coordinated with respect to the US strikes on June 22. At face value, this is a case of collective self defence. But, importantly, this right is only valid under international law if the original Israeli right to self defense is legitimate. And here, we encounter the same legal difficulties as we do with the US claim of self defense. Israel’s claim of an imminent attack from Iran is very dubious and contentious on the facts. A concerning precedent The overarching concern is these strikes can set a precedent. Other states can use this interpretation of the right of self defence to launch anticipatory or preemptive strikes against other nations any time they want. If this practice is allowed to go unchecked and is not subject to widespread condemnation, it can seen by the international community as an endorsement – that this type of conduct is legitimate. There are many states acquiring conventional weapons that could be seen to pose a potential threat to their neighbours or other states. And there are several states considering the acquisition of nuclear weapons. One example is Japan, where there has been some debate about nuclear weapons as a deterrence to future possible threats from China. So, how might Japan’s actions be seen by its neighbors – namely China and North Korea? And how might these countries respond in light of the precedent that’s been set by the US and Israel?
