Trump is now waging economic war on Aus & Albanese and Dutton still want to give the US $368 billion for imaginary nuclear attack submarines. In just the next 4 years alone Aus will give Trump $18b. Why on earth would Trump back down in that context? Cancel AUKUS now. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

It's well past time to end the chronic underfunding of First Nations housing.

Trump’s threat to ‘take over’ Gaza and force out all Palestinians is ethnic cleansing, incomprehensible and beyond wrong.

That it’s been almost three days and Australia can’t even bring itself to say so is moral cowardice.

Big mining corporations run the government.

Once again, the PM has caved to the mining industry and broken his election promise on environment.

Instead of doing the right thing by the environment, Labor choose their mining donor mates again and again.
