You’d be a simple, reckless and dangerous soul to go to war on an imagined possibility but that's what Trump has done.
And Australia is supporting him.

Paul Keating savages Nine on anniversary of ‘irresponsible prediction’ Australia faced looming China war The ‘Red Alert’ series warned in 2023 that Australia needed to be ‘ready to fight in just three years’ – and Keating has again taken his fight to the newspaper group

"The former prime minister took the opportunity of the third anniversary of Nine newspapers’ Red Alert series to repeat his disdain for the reporting and its primary author, international editor Peter Hartcher." #auspol

Defence refusing to say if WA base helped killer US sub Defence is refusing to say whether a naval communications facility in the remote northwest helped support a US submarine carrying ADF personnel launch a deadly strike against an Iranian warship.

As violence spreads across the Middle East now more then ever we need our Government to be a force for peace. That starts with withdrawing support for US-backed forever wars.

"Howard tied us to America so tightly, it would take a world-altering event to unshackle us. The tragic truth is though, even then, we would probably be on America’s side, even if it meant our own destruction," writes @amyremeikis.bsky.social.

The Liberal review explains the defeat – but not the path back The leaked review of the Liberal Party’s 2025 election defeat details campaign failures and organisational problems. What it avoids is the harder question: what policies or direction might rebuild support.

The leaked Liberal Party review dissects the failures of the 2025 campaign – leadership, organisation and messaging. But it offers little about the policies or direction needed to win voters back, David Solomon writes.

Last year, 50 Australians were serving on US attack submarines, and that number was on the rise.

The Albanese Government must answer whether Australian troops were used in this attack.

If we don't want to be involved in this war, withdraw Australian troops.

Australian energy bills could surge as Iran conflict drives up global gas prices Experts warn of similarities with 2022, when electricity prices went up by more than 40% due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Gas companies that export 🇦🇺 gas are about to make windfall profits after strikes on Iran & we have no plan to capture that value for 🇦🇺

To fix this, we need a 25% tax on gas exports that would raise billions of💲of revenue & ensure that when prices rise, 🇦🇺 benefits
