Albo has an opportunity in this crisis to not permanently cement the public perception that he is weak, an opportunity he will decisively not take.

Supposedly Australia’s alliance with the USA is based on shared principles about democracy and the rule of law. Where does that sit now? Senator Wong? Anybody home in Canberra??

We live in a hall of mirrors: Trump is justifying Maduro’s arrest because the latter is a crook who defied the outcome of a democratic election, stole from his people and associated with gangsters.
NEW: Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro arrives in New York after being captured by the U.S. and indicted on narco-terrorism charges.
'We are going to run the country': Trump says U.S. will govern Venezuela until there's a 'proper transition'
The announcement comes after Trump said the U.S. captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife following military strikes on the country.

It's an old and obvious pattern. An unpopular president - failing on the economy and losing his grip on power at home - decides to launch a war for regime change abroad.
The American people don’t want to “run” a foreign country while our leaders fail to improve life in this one.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela.
This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources.
It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

Australia is ‘seeking security’ in the Asia Pacific by paying hundreds of billions in protection bribes to a mobster in Washington who just staged an illegal coup in Venezuela to control its oil. Is there anyone in the ALP with a spine? #FlushAUKUS

If Xi Jinping invaded Taiwan right now, and toppled the president there, on what grounds would the United States object? Or have any credibility to say anything?

All the talk is just theatre so long as it is clear that Putin has no interest in ending the war. Why would he? He clearly has Trump on a string. The only way this war stops is if the US and Europe send an unequivocal message to Russia. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/24/w...

The AFR really has it in for Albo over Bondi, accusing him of “forfeiting his moral authority” and going soft on anti-semitism to appease Muslim voters over the Gaza “war”. That would be the genocide that Australians across the board, including many Jews, have condemned. www.afr.com/politics/fed...
Albanese has no moral authority – he must call antisemitism royal commission
The belated admissions and half-hearted apologies for not doing more by the prime minister and other senior ministers are not nearly enough.

Fascinating chart from ‘The Great Global Transformation, the new book by economics professor @brankomilan.bsky.social, on the end of neoliberalism, the rise of China & the demise of the Political West. This shows when different countries reached their relative income peaks.

Australia right now needs a Whitlamesque firebrand politician of the left to put some distance between ourselves and a failed American state intent on dragging us into a war with our biggest trading partner. Enough with Albo’s Murdoch-appeasing, small target consensus. The man is an empty suit.

Why is the US-ingratiating Australian media so ready to assume that ‘full-steam ahead’ on #AUKUS is good news? Australians never voted for this. We abhor Trump and despise US aggression. Let’s vote for the party that rips up this ruinous pact and destroys the fascist defence lobby pushing this BS.

If one were cynical, one might conclude that Lehrmann's endless litigation is an advanced subsidy scheme for the legal industry, Murdoch media and professional cultural warriors for whom stoking division and resentment among blokey white men is a business model.
