So with the US seemingly about to launch a Special Military Operation in Latin America, has anyone asked our government their position on this?
Is intel from Pine Gap being used for any of these drone strikes?
Are we condemning the murders at sea? Or calling for calm?

A massive milestone - well done Victoria!
A Treaty to provide a direct voice for Victorian First Nations people and an opportunity to include, listen, learn and collaborate with those who have lived here for 60 000 years before us

NSW Police go out of their way to approve a Neo Nazi rally — then Premier Minns uses the “stuff up” as an excuse for *more* laws restricting free speech. The whole thing stinks of a blatantly obvious stitch-up by vested interests. Pathetic.

So much for the hoped for 'robust discussion' within the labor caucus, or the ALP for that matter. Is there no-one left in this ALP government with actual ethical principles?
"fear within the Labor caucus is leading to silence."
And that silence is leading to very bad policy.
The Silence of the Labor Lambs is just amplifying the voices of gambling, sports and media lobbyists [and so many others] who have successfully captured Albanese and his gutless Cabinet. #auspol

Andrew Wilkie has asked the PM to allow a free vote on banning gambling advertising and it appears many Labor MPs would support it.
