Western countries, including Australia and New Zealand, were quick to line up to support the US-Israeli blitzkrieg on the Islamic Republic of Iran launched this weekend. They were effectively throwing international law into a cauldron of blood and mayhem. johnmenadue.com/post/2026/03...

I just spoke to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, of Australia, concerning the Iranian National Women's Soccer Team. He's on it!
Five have already been taken care of, and the rest are on their way. Some, however, feel they must go back because they are worried about the safety of their families, including threats to those family members if they don't return. In any event, the Prime Minister is doing a very good job having to do with this rather delicate situation. God bless Australia! President DONALD J.

Albo scores another Brownie point from Trump. Both are hypocrites - it takes a call from Trump to get Albo moving on granting asylum; Trump cares about the Iranian women’s soccer team, but bombs a school in Iran - twice.

This is what "no more politically correct wars" means from trump and republicans. The "No rules of engagement anymore" hegseth keeps spouting.
Evil administration pretending to be in a Christian war.

don’t think you understand how catastrophic the oil refinery bombing in Tehran is.
Burning petroleum releases sulfur and nitrogen oxides that mix with rain to form sulfuric and nitric acid, essentially turning rainfall toxic.
When Saddam burned Kuwaiti oil wells in 1991, the fallout contributed to what became known as Gulf War Syndrome, with veterans developing chronic illness and cancer decades later.
The difference now: this isn’t a desert battlefield, it’s a city of 10 million people, most of which women and children.
The stupidity combined with evil on the part of Trump’s war actions is heartbreaking.

My electorate is probably typical of many. Long time male Labor candidate tussled for days to gain the seat from a first time standing female dependent by a handful of votes. That’s your ‘majority’, Albo.

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Greenland, Canada, and on and on and on. Lindsey Graham says they are “marching through the world.”
They don’t care how many US soldiers they get killed. Meanwhile, they’re building concentration camps at home for Americans to die in. What will it take for people to wake up?

Yeah, what does Albo think of Greater Israel, ICE human warehouses and arbitrary murder in the high seas?
Our media would rather discuss t-shirts.
They haven't bothered with WMD bullshit this time around, but are they even pretending to have a plan for after the killing?

Australia is being asked to help defend gulf countries from missile and drone strikes.
This is an impending disaster. An illegal war. Run by white supremacist Christo fascists, murderous regime.
Every injury and death is on Wong, Marles and Neville Chamberlain Albanese

We were told Herzog was here on a “pastoral” visit.
Why was a foreign head of a state that illegally forged Australian passports given privileged access to Australia’s security agency?
Who authorised the meeting ?
Why was the meeting kept secret from the public?

‘A very dangerous person’: alarm as Pete Hegseth revels in carnage of Iran war — Guardian Australia
Critics say brash, bombastic Fox News host out of his depth to guide US military through murky new Middle East conflict
““Pete Hegseth is a very dangerous person. He’s a white Christian nationalist and has the arsenal of the United States government at his disposal and a permission slip from President Trump to deploy carnage wherever he wishes against whomever he wishes.”

PM Anthony Albanese’s game of agreeing to everything the Israel lobbyists and Trump War Dept wants, is having profound consequences for Australia and its people.
Australia is being dragged into their global wars, genocides, occupation agenda.
The Aust people are not party to these decisions.

Watching the horror of Vietnam unfolding on the nightly news is nothing compared to seeing the hell that is happening in Iran, Gaza and Ukraine on social media is almost too much to bear. We are a horrible species aren’t we.

Today they took out Iran's farming industries nitrates. And one of Iran's desalination plants. And refineries & oil wells. It's destruction on a massive scale to leave 92 million people with no food, no water & no income. Footage is just documenting evidence of another gaza style domicide/genocide

Penny Wong says the reason the war on Iran is worth supporting is it will
“keep Australians safe”
Supporting an illegal war for regime change with no evidence of a threat will not keep us safe. It will create a new wave of terrorist groups & who hate us like after Iraq. #auspol

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
