Today’s #WorkFromRoam office is a Hervey Bay cafe. I’m challenging a #FOI charge of $829 to access docs on Govt progress on a national radioactive waste facility - a fair request, I say, given Govts have spent 50 years, and hundreds of $million, not solving the problem. #auspol

Trump has given #AUKUS the OK. Why wouldn’t he; it’s the deal of the century for the US. For Australia, it’s a huge national security blunder that’ll see a slide in our defence capabilities and even greater reliance on the US, which we’ll pay for. #auspol

Trump has indicated the US will proceed with AUKUS. Good news for the US, serious consequences for Australia.

Seems bloody obvious by now, but here we are, governed by spineless corrupt muppets.
The proper remedy to our budget deficit is not triming spending, it’s to increase revenue. 1) Have multinationals pay their fair share of tax. 2) Collect proper royalties for our (finite) resources. 3) Stop just exporting our rocks - value add here. 4) Stop Defence waste. #auspol

The one-man super scheme
Of all the things Scott Morrison does not understand, and the list is long and often embarrassing, somewhat in the shape of his prime ministership, China would rate very close to the top.

Snowy 2.0. It went from $2B, to $6B, to $12B, and now ??? I’m currently in the Federal Court trying to get access to their project reports. They say the reports are THEIR business, not OURS, even though WE get to pay for the blowouts. 🤷♂️ 1/2 #FOI #auspol

Having just inhaled SBS's incredibly important #PeoplevsRobodebt, the Morrison Government's clinical persecution of our most vulnerable citizens, driving them to despair & sometimes death, is shocking all over again.

There is little or no evidence that China poses a direct military threat to Australia. However, the Sinophobes among political ranks and the commentariat are trying to ensure that Beijing will treat Canberra as a hostile entity.
