Regime change is now more urgent than ever to end this Iran war. The world can no longer tolerate a tyrannical, fanatically theocratic, deceitful kleptocracy wreaking havoc on civilised nations. Trump and his war-mongering gang of liars and sycophants must go.

Only Labor has stood steadfast against the divisive politics of Hanson, Barnaby Joyce and their growing band of rats and rejects.
What is also clear is that only Labor can stop One Nation. Labor puts One Nation last on our how to vote cards. We have been doing so for the entire time they have existed as a political party.

Kudos to Greece/Hellas. They are not only talking like an ally of the US and Israel, they are acting like one. Μπράβο!

BREAKING: Greece just shot down two Iranian ballistic missiles over Saudi Arabia. A NATO member that signed no declaration of war against Iran used a Patriot battery operated by Greek soldiers on Saudi soil to intercept missiles targeting the SAMREF oil refinery in Yanbu on the Red Sea coast. Greek Defense Minister Dendias confirmed the engagement. Prime Minister Mitsotakis called it strictly defensive. It is the first time Greek military personnel have fired a weapon in combat since the battery was deployed under a bilateral agreement with Riyadh in November 2021. A European democracy that borders Turkey just entered the Middle East’s largest war to protect a refinery jointly owned by Saudi Aramco and ExxonMobil. The target tells the story. SAMREF is not a military installation. It is a 400,000-barrel-per-day refinery on Saudi Arabia’s western coast, far from the Strait of Hormuz, far from the front lines of Operation Epic Fury. Iran fired ballistic missiles and at least one drone at it. The missiles were intercepted by the Greek Patriot PAC-3. The drone impacted the complex with what Saudi authorities described as minor damage. Iran is no longer limiting its retaliation to Hormuz or the Gulf coast. It is reaching across the Arabian Peninsula to the Red Sea, targeting refineries that supply Europe and Asia through the Suez Canal rather than the strait. The geography of Iranian retaliation just doubled. This happened on March 19, the same day 23 nations signed a joint statement condemning Iran’s Hormuz closure and pledging readiness to ensure safe passage. Greece is not one of the 23 signatories. Greece did not sign the statement. Greece fired the interceptor. The country that pledged nothing on paper did more in three seconds of missile engagement than 23 signatures accomplished in three pages of diplomatic language. Readiness is a word. A Patriot launch is a verb. Trump told the world on March 21 that Europe, Japan, Korea and China will have to get involved in policing the strait. Greece got involved before he asked. It got involved not through a statement or a pledge or a fund but through a missile defence battery that has been sitting in Saudi Arabia for four years waiting for a moment that arrived on March 19 at the speed of an Iranian ballistic warhead. The bilateral agreement that put Greek soldiers in Yanbu was signed for exactly this scenario. The scenario arrived and the agreement held. The implications cascade. A NATO member has now engaged Iranian weapons in combat. Greece frames it as defensive, bilateral, and unrelated to the broader war. But the missile it intercepted was fired by the same IRGC that launched two intermediate-range ballistic missiles at Diego Garcia the following day. The same IRGC that hit Ras Laffan in Qatar. That hit Mina Al-Ahmadi in Kuwait twice. That put a cluster munition through a daycare roof in Rishon Lezion this morning. Greece intercepted missiles from an organisation that is simultaneously attacking six countries. The word defensive becomes complicated when the attacker’s target list includes half the region. Twenty-three nations signed a statement. One nation fired a Patriot. The question nobody is asking yet is which model scales. If Iran continues expanding its target geography from the Gulf to the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, the 23-nation statement will need to become a 23-nation engagement. Greece did not wait for the statement to tell it what to do. It had a battery, a mandate, and a missile inbound. It fired. The refinery is still standing. The precedent is now set. open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

🇮🇷 Iranian media report that former Defense Minister and IRGC reserve general Hossein Dehghan has been appointed Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, replacing Ali Larijani.
▪️ The information is not yet officially confirmed, but if verified, it could signal a hardening of Iran’s policy toward the U.S. and Israel.
📌 Dehghan is known for his strongly aggressive stance toward the United States, and is regarded as one of Iran’s top military strategists.
▪️ He is also a veteran of the Iran–Iraq War, a military advisor to the Supreme Leader, and a well-established and influential figure within the IRGC.

Shitferbrains announced this afternoon that she’s ready for government and to lead the country. Uhuh. I’m ready to drive for McLaren in the Formula One Grand Prix, to conduct the Berlin Philharmonic in Beethoven’s Ninth and to command an Air Warfare destroyer.

The Liberal Party needs to choose - will they listen to the neo-Nazis who are lobbying them to stop new laws, or Australians who want to see neo-Nazis and other hate groups banned? Story here: couriermail.com.au/news/nsw/hate-…

I posted yesterday that channel 10 had incorrectly reported that I had dropped my defamation claim against Premier Malinauskas, as I had been informed of this. It turns out that wasn’t the case; 10’s reporting has been accurate.

My lawyers have today issued a concerns notice under the Defamation Act on Premier Malinauskas. This is his opportunity to undo some of the harm he has inflicted, and stop punching down.
