After much reflection, Spain has decided not to participate in the so-called Board of Peace.

Thanks @zoedaniel.bsky.social. The only people in Australia who seem to be missing this point are the Albanese Labor government. It is very concerning how compliant PM Albanese is looking in his dealings with the Trump administration, and AUKUS is a disaster for us. #auspol #AUKUS #globalorder

They're enabling ICE surveillance and helping target the genocide in Gaza.

Mathias Cormann - Secretary General of the OECD - recommends that Australia increase the GST.

It is unbelievable that Australian taxpayers are paying to send two former Defence Ministers, now weapons industry lobbyists, to the UAE and Saudi Arabia to spruik their clients and arms sales into the region. Unbelievable except it’s business as usual for Labor and the Coalition

The revolving door between government and industry, Defence Departments and weapons manufacturers, is a key reason why governments around the world spend countless billions on weapons and are out looking for war and conflict. These people profit from it.

Our Education Department is considering offering a discounted global course on Climate Change science.
The course here is typically free to 6 to 8 month old penguin chicks, seals, terns, skua etc, but we will likely need to open the age range from 5 years to 85 years for the American public.
