Australia, a vast & empty continent at the bottom of the world, has *no natural enemies*.

But $A380+ billion hs bn devoted to buying US & UK nuclear powered submarines, although we can scarcely crew 1 conventional sub.

The threat of invasion from Penguins mustn't be underestimated.

While some slept in their comfy beds overnight, several hundred citizens of Gaza Strip stood all night in calf-high floodwaters, probably holding their children at same time.

IDF is blocking delivery of 'waterproof' tents, tent poles & any tool or machine with a double purpose.

it's actually kinda funny in a way to get to the finish line of curing cancer and having the government go eh you know what. never mind
A tiny trial in New York has shown that personalized mRNA vaccines can provoke massive, lasting immune responses against pancreatic cancer, even as sweeping federal cuts now threaten the fragile labs required to produce them.

When the government admits it broke the law to imprison children, that is not a policy failure. It is a moral one.
ICE now admits that hundreds of children were held past the legal 20-day custody limit set to protect their safety.

Five were kept for 168 days.

Some faced unsafe conditions and went days without medical care.

This crosses a moral line.
About 400 immigrant children were detained longer than the recommended limit, ICE admits
Legal advocates concerned over the prolonged detention of immigrant children in federal custody are sounding the alarm before the federal court. U.S.

On Robodebt, the NACC says they should be in a position to provide a “briefing” or “update” on the case….some time in 2026…
An update, not a resolution.

Obviously working tirelessly day and night aren’t they. Unbelievable.

"NATO’s most powerful member, the US, has picked a side – and it is Russia."

But hardly anyone in Australia's political and media class is questioning why Albanese continues to suck up to the fascist regime in Washington.

Our govt's foreign & defence policy is a national security threat. #auspol

Based on the rapid pace of Trump’s mental decline, which only exacerbates his malignant narcissism, repulsive behavior, megalomania, and habitual lying, 2026 is going to be a rough year.

This. This was the formative event of my generation & our entire politics in 🇺🇸. The structural break after which we were no longer a full democracy, when 5 Wizards In Robes decided they were a super-legislature & counting all the actual votes didn’t matter. The rest has been 25 years of commentary.
25 years ago today, SCOTUS elected George W Bush president of the United States by blocking completion of a voting canvass in Florida. A subsequent canvass by the Associated Press showed that Bush's rival, Al Gore, had won the race in Florida—and thus the contest for the presidency—by 700 votes.

Labor refuses to discuss AUKUS. As we learn more about problems in the US and UK submarine programs, that silence looks more and more like a cover-up.
Is AUKUS the biggest cover-up in Australian history?

Apparently we’ve established that if the US can seize the largest tanker off Venezuela, it can just as easily seize a small, alleged drug boat without murdering the occupants.
