I have a suggestion for a compromise Australia could offer. Denmark keeps Greenland, and we give Richard Marles to the US.
So our AUKUS partners are essentially in a military stand off with each other. What a superb agreement we have .

The Albo government's antisemitism bill is a rushed hatchet job. Nobody has proper time to consider it carefully enough, and it will have all sorts of unintended consequences if passed. It is the worst kind of law-making: moral panic induced, pandering to powerful lobby groups' demands.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?
