We don’t need to wait for the Aukus submarines (not that they’ll ever be delivered) to question our sovereignty. It’s happening already.

Our leaders must decide who they put first - Australians or Trump
Trump's bombing of Iran and our government's response shows rules only matter when America says they matter and Australia falls into line.

"This appears to be another instance of Palestinian voices being silenced.”
So:
- Who directed that Mashni's interview be deleted, and why?
- Is ABC censoring views critical of Israel?
- has 'Lawyers for Israel' or other Zionist lobbies, pressured the ABC Chair?

#Auspol Spread the word Australia if Canada can drop to 70% we can. Talk to family and friends about all the innocent tourists locked up by America for weeks etc
Canadian air travel to the U.S. drops 70% as tourists favor Europe amid tariff talks. Air Canada flights see reduced bookings, reflecting shifting travel preferences. Economic factors and policy discussions likely driving the trend, impacting North American tourism.

So we avoided a recession. Not because of Labor’s highly effective spending (as opposed to the NZ conservative government cuts), but (wait for it) because of RBA policy. Yep, he said that. Is it a sackable offence to say anything positive about the current government.
