How much longer is this farce of a sideshow going to continue?

NACC Commissioner, Paul Brereton, is once again embroiled in controversy.

The NACC Inspector, Gail Furness is currently investigating several complaints against Mr Brereton.

His position is untenable.

Great story from @danielhurst.bsky.social on AUKUS payment secrecy.

Why could Marles announce first payment in February but release under FOI somehow harms relations??

And the US just bombed Iran at the behest of Israel, which has been claiming its at immediate risk of a nuclear strike for 30 years and we’ll all be told Israel has a right to defend itself, but anything Iran does is an act of war and in another 30 years we’ll be told there was no need for any of it

Looks like the ABC may have taken this interview off its website. Perhaps we can all re-post this version.
APAN President Nasser Mashni says he welcomes today’s strong language by the PM on Israel but says it’s come too late, says Israel is “not a democracy, it’s a rogue apartheid genocidal state, headed up by a war criminal. It’s time for Australia to do more than just talk…” #Abc
