"The security boys just go wild for it." @emmashortis.bsky.social on the 'Thucydides trap' & false narratives about war being inevitable. "What some blokes thought about war several millennia ago is not really relevant to our significantly changed circumstances." 🎧 theaus.in/4di7GcT

In an ironic act of secrecy, an FOI request by The Australia Institute has exposed how the Attorney General’s Department deliberately avoided scrutiny of the government’s bungled attempt to change the nation’s FOI laws. 📺 Senator @davidshoebridge.bsky.social at Senate Estimates #auspol

Premier Peter Malinauskas’ decision to overturn SA's ban on gas fracking is not only irresponsible, but also unnecessary. Australia doesn't have a gas shortage problem, we have a gas export problem. And fracking in vulnerable farming communities won't fix it. #auspol @richarddenniss.bsky.social

“The foreign owned gas companies get more than half the gas we export for free,” says Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO of The Australia Institute. “You know, brickies pay for bricks, bakers pay for flour, the gas industry doesn’t pay for gas.” ✍ Sign the petition: https://theaus.in/4dmljX8

David French: [Trump's] version of a deal is that somebody maybe, possibly says something positive, and then he announces a deal, or he just makes it up entirely. It's the Baghdad Bob administration here... Trump is constantly promoting deals that don't exist. Victories that never happened.
