@EeroJansson @Microinteracti1 Threatened Panama. Blockaded Cuba (an act or war). Bombed Yemen, Syria, Iran (2025 and 2026). Ripped up bi-lateral free trade agreements.

No serious nation in the history of warfare has spent fourteen months insulting its allies, siding with their common enemy, and then knocked on their door expecting them to rescue a catastrophe of its own making. You abused the UK. Threatened Canada. Tried to grab Greenland. Called the EU an adversary. Praised Putin. Hosted Kremlin officials in the Capitol. Abandoned Ukraine. And did all of it loudly, proudly, and on camera. And now you are surprised that nobody is returning your calls. You want European boots on the ground? Start by explaining why America is more aligned with Moscow than with Brussels. Take your time. We will wait. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

@SteveMacDonal12 @JamesLucasIT A great.... backronym /ˈbakrənɪm/ noun an acronym deliberately formed from a phrase whose initial letters spell out a particular word or words, either to create a memorable name or as a fanciful explanation of a word's origin.

@JamesLucasIT That's the most tortured acronym ever!

@aaronsmith Hastie actually described the problem as: "Well I think there's integrity around the battery scheme". A Freudian slip? The Lib-Nats have a problem with integrity.

Do the Liberals ever think past the first sound bite? Watching Hastie completely unravel the second he faces a basic follow-up is embarrassing. Why are they like this?

'The Government' in Australia is just 76 of the 150 lower house reps agreeing to work together - 76 independent minds like David Pocock can form a coalition government. Sticking together on important 'run the country' votes but allowed to 'conscience' vote on other issues. That was the intention of our Federation Fathers.

'Party politics' is the sick perversion of the representative democracy put into place in Australia to build our nation on. This total obedience to 'party'- put before the wants and needs of the majority will be the end of political parties in Australia. Vote Independents, end the 'do as your told' party puppetry.

Only way I can see this war ending is throught complete & absolute regime change. The sooner Trump goes, the better.

@strangerous10 Sending our troops to engage in regime change in Iran, to achieve democracy in Iran, is ironic considering the decision was not made democratically by the Australian parliament.

Breaking: The Greens put in a bill to require parliament to vote before Aus troops are sent to war & to debate evidence ie the “lies coming out of Washington” on Iran Shoebridge “voters across the country would have seen if their MP voted for this disastrous war or not”💥#auspol

@Its_ereko I guess now we can expect a false flag coming towards Europe

This American teenager gets it: “We don’t have money for universal healthcare or to make sure kids don’t go hungry in this country, but apparently we have $11.3 billion fucking dollars to burn in 7 days to start a war nobody ask for to bomb innocent school children, twice.”

The gas cartel has swiftly rolled out a campaign to preserve their wartime profits from OUR gas. @AlboMP has the numbers in the House and the support of Greens in the Senate to ensure struggling Aussies benefit from high international gas prices. #auspol theguardian.com/australia-news…

If the Albanese government had introduced a 25% gas export tax when it was first elected, it would have raised more than $63 billion! Free childcare or free uni shouldn't be a pipe dream. If big gas paid their fair share, Australians would be better off. @GrogsGamut #auspol

Oh Cammy, when are you going to learn? Rich coming from a guy who sat on the Liberal State Executive while his party oversaw the greatest collapse of fuel security in Australian history. When the LNP took over in 2013, we had 6 refineries. When you were finally booted, we had 2. You watched Kwinana, Altona, Bulwer Island, and Kurnell all shut down because your party 'trusted the market' instead of protecting the country. You didn't build a single drop of storage here, your lot spent $94m to store 'our' oil in Texas. Now that Donald Trump’s war has predictably blown up the Middle East and choked the global supply, you’re blaming the people left to clean up your 10-year mess? You spent a decade hollowing out our domestic capacity and now you’re shocked the tank is empty. Absolute gaslighting.

@larissawaters You can also sure that the gas companies that worsen climate change will not be the ones paying to repair the damage to homes, businesses and infrastructure caused by more extreme and more frequent floods, fires, and cyclones.

I've written to the PM offering to pass a 25% gas export tax in the next two weeks. Rich gas corps are making billions off this war, get gas for free, and pay almost no tax. That's money better spent helping people. No more free ride for gas corps while people go backwards.

Love this. Wholesome and heart warming Imagine if countries in general and their leadership in particular behaved like this.

@SistaRuthDOPD @Tony_Burke If they wanted to holiday by the beach, they could have gone to the beach in Gaza. To have a genuine Gaza experience and be treated like a local, they could go without their IDF uniforms.

Brunswick is the largest ALP branch in @VictorianLabor and has passed the Labor Against War motion opposing the war on Iran and calls for Australian military forces to be withdrawn from the Gulf. Thanks to comrades in Brunswick! Keep those motions rolling in.

Trump in 2008: Anyone who invades the Middle East under false pretenses should be impeached. Let’s make sure it goes viral here.

"We don't have a shortage of supply. We have a glut of greed." “According to the Australia Institute, around 30% of all gas exported from Australia is not needed to meet contract commitments.” Great seeing the Hon Ed Husic MP quoting our research in Parliament yesterday! 👏

Incredibly frustrating to have a govt which purports to care about climate change but which refuses to adequately tax our fossil fuel exports, continues to approve new coal and gas facilities, hides climate impact reports, and defunds the only federal scientific unit able to measure air pollution, greenhouse gases, and global warming. theage.com.au/environment/cl…
