135 years of standing up for workers, families and the Glebe and Annandale community. Helping to build a community where no one is held back and no one is left behind. Great to meet with the Labor locals who have helped make it happen.

Australia just announced a $53 BILLION military spending surge… and guess who they’re pointing at? China. Why on earth would China attack Australia? China is one of Australia’s largest trading partners. We’re talking about hundreds of billions in trade, resources, energy, agriculture, all flowing both ways. It makes absolutely ZERO strategic sense for China to disrupt that. You don’t attack a country you rely on economically. That’s not how geopolitics works in 2026. This looks a lot less like “defense” and a lot more like pressure from the United States. Washington has been pushing its allies for years to ramp up military spending, fall in line with NATO-style targets, and plug into blocs like AUKUS. And surprise, surprise Australia suddenly “discovers” a massive threat just as it commits tens of billions more to defense. Let’s not forget this also conveniently aligns with buying more US-linked military hardware, deeper integration into US strategy, and further escalation in the Indo-Pacific. Meanwhile, the narrative being pushed is that China is some imminent threat to Australia… despite the fact that the two economies are deeply intertwined and mutually dependent. This isn’t about China attacking Australia. This is about aligning with US geopolitical strategy, justifying massive spending, and selling a threat that doesn’t match reality. And once again It’s the taxpayers footing the bill.
