Former NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell resigned as he’d “forgot” to declare an expensive bottle of wine. Federal Labor minister Mick Young waa forced to stand down in 1984 as he didn’t declare a Paddington bear in his luggage thru customs.

Secrecy is contempt. Secrecy hides what they are doing to Australia. “The US has found the world’s biggest sucker in Australia—It gets billions from Australia, it gets to use Australia as free real estate for its military & it owes Australia nothing” smh.com.au/world/north-am…

.@AlboMP’s #FOI Amendment Bill, the most significant attack on Government transparency ever, will likely die quiety in the first sitting week of 2026. His hypocrisy on open government will live on. #auspol sbs.com.au/news/article/g…

@JJKALE2 How about giving me due credit - also the late great photographer David Moore - taken from our book ‘Australia: image of a nation’. Collins 1993 . . . Fully annotated with credits and acknowledgments. Most major libraries have a copy.

This picture is enough to explain "Australian Values".

Australia should not be selling weapons, hosting weapons companies or providing any support to weapons companies or countries involved in mass human rights atrocities, genocide. A very basic part of our human rights and international law obligations. theguardian.com/australia-news…
