Any use of a rifle by Police in the streets of Alice Springs is not acceptable as riot control.
This is an indication of the parlous state of police-community relations in the NT — which needs to be urgently addressed.
The rioting is unacceptable but the firearms are an irresponsible potentially lethal escalation.

@Glenn_Diesen Have you lost perspective over what has happened to Ukraine, and who is the aggressor ? Attacks on Russia? Don’t you mean a retaliatory strike on a legitimate sovereign target…

@timpettine @HKJC_Racing @zpurton He’s a better horse now after travelling to Aus for The Everest - and he smashed them there. He would beat any horse in the world on turf up to 1400m, and he would beat them anywhere

@HKJC_Racing @zpurton At what point do you race him against real competition? I get he's an ATM ... but the game deserves something tangible. He may be ranked #1 in the world but the lack of competition will always follow him around. His connections aren't giving him the opportunity.

THE FREAAAAAAAK!! 🤯🤯🤯
World's best Ka Ying Rising sets ANOTHER 1200m track record (1m 07.10s) at Sha Tin, securing his 20th consecutive win with @zpurton for David Hayes...

@4mambo What a fanciful little thought. Get back to your cabbage patch.

It would make more sense to abolish the Defence Department. The greatest threat to Australia’s long term prosperity and security is climate change. To not acknowledge this is unpatriotic and a betrayal of future generations. Joyce is a massive fool.

Barnaby is absolutely right. Australian politics has been obsessed with climate catastrophism for at least two decades now. It has completely ruined our: Energy Security Economic Prosperity National Security Hope It is just stupid. We've been lied to. Time to end it.

@Sophiemcneill @AustralianLabor Completely different issue. How do you correlate the need for defence against need for housing. If you were to touch on migration levels and housing you then maybe able to logically plead an alternative.

How deeply shameful. In the middle of a housing crisis & a climate emergency. Disgraceful from @AustralianLabor

@PeterCronau Thank goodness he did. Could you imagine the strain Australia would be under if an unfettered and idiotically tilted Greens and Labor policies concerning asylum seekers had taken hold if they were in power during the Howard era
English

It was Little John Howard who gave Trumpian immigration policies to Australia, 20 years before Trump.
Now Angus Taylor is modelling himself on Howard, though even further to the right.
“Angus.. has decided to debase himself with petty attacks on the most vulnerable.”
Taylor invoked John Howard’s language about asylum seekers from 2021, saying ‘we will decide who deserves protection and the circumstances in which that protection is granted’.

@SigntstSigns What are you talking about? Any chance you could be someone relative to the proposition?

@JacintaAllanMP It’s not ‘race based’. It’s relative to character.

@strangerous10 Partisan hack…rather selective on the timeline as well. The truth is that both major parties ran identical methodologies guided by the economics involved.
English

Chris Bowen reminds the media it was Labor in 2023 who put the law in place for fuel reserves to be kept Australia after “4 refineries closed” under the Coalition.
“It hadn’t happened until then”
“If I was the Liberal Party, I’d stay pretty quiet about these matters.”🔥 #auspol

@strangerous10 The journalist never got an answer from Bowen ( no surprises there ), journalist only stood his ground re CB’s refusal to engage a reasonable question given the ALP’s long term position to ‘short suit’ this countries interest concerning Energy. What’s the problem with the journo?

@steve26490 @news_australian That’s because BR-S is backed by Stokes…and Ch9 HATES Stokes. I agree, totally gutless display by Ch9

@news_australian Channel 9 had some journalist arsehole bagging out Ben Roberts-Smith for 10 minutes without any counter or balancing viewpoint. It's not just Ben they're after it's our pride in our country.
English

Do you support Pauline Hanson pardoning Ben Roberts-Smith from all war crimes charges when she is elected Australian Prime Minister?

@mckinnon_a “Independent Journalist” Double speak for, ‘no one will give a job to said person’…

maybe Ben Roberts-Smith can get his mum to write another letter about what a good boy he is

@HonTonyAbbott It is a shameful persecution of BRS. Motivated by upholding operational standards of the ADF, so we’re told. Difficult to align those standards that were expected from our soldiers over there in relation to how the Taliban operated. No wonder their rate of suicide is sky high
English

Especially today, my instinctive sympathy remains with all of our special forces soldiers from the Afghanistan campaign, fighting at our country’s command against a merciless enemy, often under highly restrictive rules of engagement that meant known terrorists were captured and released many times.
As prime minister during multiple deployments, and having spent time with our troops in war-zones, I could not have asked for a more loyal and professional military and my respect for their service is undiminished.
Of course, there are rules that have to be observed and enforced, even against soldiers in times of war. Still, it’s wrong to judge the actions of men in mortal combat by the standards of ordinary civilian life.
If Ben Roberts-Smith transgressed, why wasn’t this picked up prior to his gallantry awards and why wasn’t any culture of brutality towards prisoners detected by his more senior officers, and dealt with quickly, rather than being allowed to fester, as has been alleged, for over a decade?
The Brereton investigation commenced in 2016 and only concluded in 2020. The first war crime charge against a former special forces soldier was only laid in 2023 and three years later, this has still not been finalised.
After doing their best to serve our country, dozens of former special forces soldiers should not still be in limbo years later because of ongoing investigations that have only resulted in charges in two cases.
Justice delayed is justice denied. If evidence is clear, and cases are strong, they should be brought and concluded without delay. Otherwise, people should be cleared to get on with their lives lest the process itself become the punishment.
In Afghanistan, our soldiers fought bravely and well for a just cause. I am very sorry that some of them have been subjected to a form of persecution by the country they served.

Kapten Infanteri Zulmi Aditya Iskandar, Sertu Muhammad Nur Ikhwan, dan Praka Farizal Rhomadhon .. gugur saat menjaga perdamaian dunia.
Pada Sidang Darurat Dewan Keamanan PBB (31/3), Indonesia 🇮🇩 menggaungkan nama mereka beserta lima peacekeepers Indonesia lainnya yang terluka akibat serangan terhadap UNIFIL di Lebanon, 29–30 Maret 2026.
Serangan ini meninggalkan duka yang mendalam dan luka yang tak tergantikan di hati bangsa dan seluruh rakyat Indonesia.
Indonesia 🇮🇩 menuntut investigasi cepat, transparan, dan akuntabel, serta perlindungan penuh bagi seluruh peacekeepers.
Tidak ada toleransi untuk serangan lainnya.
Peacekeepers adalah lambang harapan dan perdamaian.....
Bukan hanya bagi Indonesia, tapi juga bagi seluruh dunia. 🕊️🌏

@bobjcarr Which country would stomach that Bob? The world is definitely in ‘tilt’ mode, but I’ve never seen a weaker Europe - nor a weaker USA for that matter.
