Anyone who is paying attention to the reality of AUKUS (not Labor and Richard Marles) knows we’ll never get any subs and the US will just squeeze as much money out of us as they can before officially admitting this. It’s time to find some backbone and get out of AUKUS!

I don't understand how any Government can see the increasing impacts of extreme weather events on our fellow Australians - our environment, our wildlfe - and still continue to support the fossil fuel industry.

Peter Prick Head Theil is an evil ass hole. He is as evil as his company name Palentir. He is also allegedly named on the Epstein files for hurting little boys.

Countries including UK, Norway, NZ and South Africa called on Australia to implement an Australian Human Rights Act last night. They heard 150+ Australian orgs calling for human rights at the heart of our laws so everyone can enjoy their rights.

"Well, what’s billions wasted between friends? Unless you care for the opportunity costs foregone in health, education, welfare, and national infrastructure.

AUKUS: a continuing expensive delusion
Australia is pouring billions into AUKUS submarines without clear delivery capacity from the UK or the US. The result could be a costly strategic and fiscal mistake – with little to show for it.

Remember:
26Jan has been recognised as a Day of Mourning since 1938, in recognition of the invasion, dispossession & numerous massacres by British invaders against Indigenous Australians since 1788.
It has only been a public holiday as Australia Day since 1994.

It’s times like these you realise that arts ministers have no interest in defending the arts, and that govts are willing to burn millions of $ for political reasons.

Adelaide’s board has just squandered millions of $ and months of work and countless opportunities for writers…
