(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

"Four dead in Ohio".. remember that?
Trump has begun preparations for the deployment of US troops against demonstrations by the American people, with the abrupt firing of the top military lawyers, the Judge Advocate Generals.
"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

The world would be much better if Americans had chosen democracy over fascism. But a plurality of Americans have chosen fascism, and so far, there is no sign of turning back.

“Since when do the victims of genocide have the responsibility to defer to, and protect, the feelings of those who enact, support, and enable their genocide?”

Way past time for sooking Zionists to stop bleating about 'feeling unsafe' and admit the genocide Israel is committing on Palestinians.
We must not allow the weaponisation of antisemitism to crush legitimate criticism of the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank.

To criticise the Israel genocide is not antisemitic.

The idea of a Gina Rinehart Govt in Australia — sorry, typo: a Dutton Coalition Govt — terrifies me. Perhaps their campaign slogan will be "What's yours is mine." 😏 #auspol #AusVotes2025 #AussieOligarchy

As Trump's administration becomes ever more crazy and reckless, the Australian electorate needs to be constantly reminded that Peter Dutton is a massive Trump fan, and he would wreak havoc on our democracy in the same way.
Kristallnacht didn't take place until five years into the Hitler regime. Trump is openly proposing ethnic cleansing (a crime against humanity, and arguably genocide) within two weeks. US is now an outlaw state.

'Donald Trump brings “gravitas” to the Middle East conflict and that he is a “big thinker”. '

Oh?
Oh dear, yet more proof of the mind and character of this fearless trumpian wanna-be leader of Australia.

Trump believes that DEI means hiring people from minorities despite their incompetence.

It's actually the reverse.

DEI means hiring the person best qualified, even if they belong to a marginalized sector.. like racial or religious minorities, indigenous, the disabled, gays, or women.
A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deck— that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground 💅🏼

I’m sure this has already been said but Donald Trump whining about “diversity hires over merit” is peak hypocrisy

His administration is packed w/ unqualified loyalists…a former Fox News host w/ no experience in defence policy is now Secretary of fcking Defence

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Dutton draws a link between antisemitic outrages and pro-Palestinian protest, without evidence.
The terroristic antisemitic crimes we see in Australia look to me like the work of neo-Nazi white-supremacist thugs, rather than misguided pro-Palestinian demonstrators.
Dutton politicises antisemitism!

With his ignorant, divisive fear-mongering hate-speech bigotry, Peter Dutton should really be an unsuccessful quickly-forgotten One Nation candidate. Yet somehow, he's the Federal Liberal Party Leader and, potentially, AUS PM. I hope the voters in Dickson #DumpDutton. 😠 #auspol #AusVotes2025

Senator Price would lead the reintroduction of a compulsory INDUE pension-control card in a Dutton Govt.
I shudder at the thought.
So Jacinta Price is now the Shadow Minister for Government Efficiency, while there's already a Shadow Minister for Government Waste Reduction

That doesn’t sound very efficient
