BREAKING: The US has confirmed those 168 school girls and staff were liberated by a Tomahawk missile and their rescuers were liberated by a 2nd Tomahawk in a "double-tap". That's two liberations for the price of one. If you don't support this, I can only assume you hate freedom.

Behold! A $100,000-dollar American missile, launched by a $20 million plane that flies at a cost of $6,000 dollars/hour to kill people who live on less than $3 a day in Iran.

Meanwhile in America, Republican lawmakers believe that a $6.20 daily SNAP benefit providing food to a needy person is wasteful spending, so A BIG BEAUTIFUL ACT of legislation was passed to remedy that in order to bolster the economy of the greatest nation in the world. -Jacob Lassiter

β€œA country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue."

A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

What an arrogant zionist. He is 100% complicit in the genocide deaths of over 100,000 individuals, including 20,000+ children, with his country led by an international criminal.

The people of Australia are not allies of murderers!

Trump's Middle East strategy is more likely to result in regime change in America than in Iran.

Why should Australia get into bed with America, which since its founding in 1776, has been at war 93 per cent of the time?

Whoever they drag into their sphere of war, the only result is death to the participating young men and women and riches to the global arms market!

In Australia, it appears this is not an isolated case!

Who is accountable when a woman does what they are told after a DV incident/s, but is just ignored?

Have a read of the Police Summary Review of one of the cases.

In Carney's speech to Parliament, he is quoted as saying that Aust and Canada must develop sovereign capabilities to avoid subordination by "hyper-scalers and hegemons".

It appears @albo does not agree with the Canadian PM, for he has taken Aust 100% headlong into the ANZUS hands and $'s of America

Australia's average age is approx 38 years. The average age of the population in Nepal is approx 25 years.

The world is changing slowly, hopefully for the better, with the old bureaucracies and entitled politicians dying off and the bright, young independent thinkers taking over.

It now appears that not only do American and Israeli forces bomb schools, but they also bomb neutral ships carrying no weapons.

It also appears that Aus military personnel were aboard the American submarine, sitting in their bunks reading reports about the confusion of messages back in Australia!

I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.

Come on @albomp.bsky.social ,this is getting out of hand. You are the PM of Australia, so listen to the public.

The Zionists appear to be running your PR department!

This is a dangerous situation not only for the nation and our leaders but also for our military personnel involved.

Time to cut the ties and be like Canada, a truly sovereign nation!

All those Republican voters who call themselves β€œpro-life” and cry about saving babies need to take a hard look in the mirror.

This looks very,very, very bad!! Are we, like America, in the pockets of Israel?

Trump’s administration can’t agree on why they started war with Iran. They can't even agree that they started it..

β€˜Getting into bed’ with America that has a history of being at peace for only 16 years out of 250 years of their existence does not go well for their military allies

Time to distance Sus from the war machine!!’

So 3 Australian personnel were on the US war ship which dropped a torpedo on an Iranian vessel which was accompanying an Indian vessel - and the people from the Iranian vessel were deliberately left for dead.

Is this right? #auspol

Once again this war, initiated by β€œreligious” Israel and America, is an example of how region can cause unfavourable harm to the human race.

β€˜We got there!’: Text messages reveal Woodside’s negotiating tactics Private text messages between Woodside officials and senior Australian decision-makers lift the lid on how the industry engages with government to get results.

Amazing piece giving insight into the relationship between major fossil fuel companies and senior government officials.

130 direct, personal, text messages in 4 months between a Woodside rep and a DCCEEW deputy secretary.
