Finally, someone said it. AUKUS is like that dodgy group chat you can’t leave; full of drama, bad decisions, and one bloke named “Uncle Sam” who keeps sending missile pics no one asked for. Time to mute it permanently and reclaim the Wi-Fi.

The US should not be allowed to make Australia complicit in nuclear war. 50 years ago Whitlam believed that and he was right.
It’s time to end AUKUS. Close Pine Gap.

Breaking: Russia loses High Court battle with Commonwealth over embassy site
The lease was granted to Russia in 2008, but was withdrawn when parliament passed a new law citing ASIO advice that the planned embassy could pose a threat to national security.

Mrs Ks 3 open-heart surgeries, stroke treatment, rehab, skull base growth monitoring, and this year's complete cardiology workup 3 echocardiograms, CTs, MRIs, TEE, angiogram, and neurovascular review, out-of-pocket medical cost for the current year, thanks to Medicare, is likely only around $500.
Average healthcare costs in the US:
Giving birth? $18,000
Cancer treatment? $150,000
One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.
That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.
Cost in Canada? $0.
Cost in the UK? $0.
Cost in Australia? $0.
