Tomorrow when the war began
The expansion of Tindal air base in the Northern Territory to host six nuclear capable B-52 bombers, raises further questions about Labor’s approach to militarism and Australia’s sovereign integrity.

Typical Murdoch gutter trash headline from the Hun too, take a stand against Israel and the genocide and they’ll say it’s antisemitism. I support “Captain Carlton” on this. The Zios are a protected species in this country.
