If he was in the U.S - he would be charged as a RICO offender like the mob. Too many offences to be put in one charge sheet.
In case you're finding it hard to keep up, this court hearing was related to the allegation Lehrmann stole French submarine secrets in the days before his dismissal back in 2019

It's not about his current rape charges in QLD, or his car theft charges in Tas, or his 'defamation' appeal or . . . .

“Sky After Dark is whipping our branch members into a frenzy over net zero, and that’s pushing our MPs to harden their positions,” says a Liberal. “No Liberal leader can survive a fire on the right.”

‘No Liberal leader can survive a fire on the right’, but arsonists surround Ley
If the opposition leader cannot placate the fringe, she cannot survive. If she cannot move the party to the centre, she’s lost the next election.

@timmiller.bsky.social - Objective view on the Venezuela "war"

He's figured out that a "war" allows him to stop elections per Ukraine.

Its why he's trying to start a war with VZ - it gives him an out to say 'No elections" until the "war" is over.

Very simple.

Love your work btw.

I earnestly fear / believe that any policy put forward by Richard Marles is not based on our best interests, but:

What relationships he can build,
What conflicts he can fan
What big def. suppliers he can support

All on the basis of padding his post-politics nest.

I don't care which way you cut it, this is bad for Australia.

Any furtherance of ONP is bad for the country.

While there is every chance this could mean Barnaby is on the road to ruin a la Mark Latham - it is still a risk to bolster ONP as a credible party.

Given that the ANZUS Treaty carries no legal obligation for the U.S to come to our aid - I would suggest that Qatar now receives a greater obligation of protection than Australia.

ANZUS is certainly less binding than a Presidential Order.

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved.

Hey @albomp.bsky.social

- extra judicial killings

Then maybe we can drop Aukus too
