We can’t even getting a sideline meeting with the guy we are giving $400b to for stupid submarines. And the brain genius, allegedly ultracynical realist foreign policy set in Australia still want us to give more.

Your heart breaks for this woman and so many like her, like us. To be at that age and terrified of what will happen to you because your President doesn't care if you live or die.
Makes me so angry 😤. She deserves better, we all deserve better.

Hey Albo how's that "compassionate" government who have "provided support" going?
"One woman, who works for Treasury, told a welfare group she was embarrassed to rely on weekly food donations after her husband and father of her children died and she found herself unable to pay the rent."

Full-time workers hit by 'worst ever' housing crisis
Even workers in full-time jobs struggle to meet rental costs, charities say, while those with less income are going without essentials.

The debate about defence ignores that Australia is already a spends a huge amount on defence and the military. As @mattgrudnoff.bsky.social writes lifting spending to 3% of GDP would be more than Sth Korea! #OffTheCharts

There were 69 journalists killed in all of WW2. 63 in Vietnam. The Israelis have killed more than 200 in Gaza. Deliberate murder to silence reporting.

Fun fact to add into this monopoly capitalism mix: Australian banks also the most profitable in the world!
"Coles & Woolies are among the most profitable supermarkets in the world, and the only thing crazier than them price gouging their way through a cost of living crisis, is their excuses for it."

I don't need history to prove me right because I am fully capable of judging right from wrong now, in real time. Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians. It is threatening people with ethnic cleansing by forced removal as the BEST case scenario or complete annihilation.

New: A leaked email has revealed the head of the United Workers Union's WA branch personally urged union employees not to attend a pro-Palestine rally because it was outside the office of Labor MP Patrick Gorman.
