What's in store for Australia if we persist with AUKUS
Surrounded by secrecy and unanswered questions, Australians are still in the dark as to what our country's persistence with the AUKUS agreement holds.

I just keep thinking of the heartlessness of going to an election promising to sack 41,000 people just because they’ve chosen public service. The LNP talks of small business owners going out of business as a tragedy. How is sending thousands of people into unemployment not?

We have been calling for Australia to cut ties with the US war mongers for years.
Now is our chance.
They are not an appropriate ally, research or financial partner.
And no point waiting 4yrs for Trump to go away.
His regimes destruction is so careless and cruel it's unretrievable.

The Stena Immaculate has crashed off the coast of Hull.
The ship was carrying jet fuel for the US Airforce.
The crash has caused a “massive fireball” which is still burning now, over 29 hours later, and jet-fuel a carcinogen more flammable than diesel to pour into the sea.
