Senator David Shoebridge

@davidshoebridge

There are hundreds of Australian troops in the US military right now. I asked what their role in the war on Iran is. Defence said: "our people have a very clear understanding of that remit that limits a number of them to defensive roles only". How does that work when you are on a US sub?

More from Senator David Shoebridge

Hearing from Mariam, a refugee who fled Iran and was held on Nauru and is still denied a home in Australia: "I don't know what will happen today to me, to my husband, my little one, you know. I think the politicians have power to change this law, this cruelty."

Thirteen hundred of you took the time to complain to the NACC about their appalling mismanagement of the Robodebt referral. This is how the Commissioner talks about those complaints. How utterly shameful.

This whole LOTE project for the Collins Class was based on the idea we would get French submarines, something that disappeared in 2021 when Morrison chose AUKUS. That means Defence bought a whole bunch of stuff, based on a now scrapped idea. Here are the figures.

Israeli President Herzog got a personal tour of ASIO headquarters. Asked if they could name another foreign leader ever given that access, ASIO drew a blank.

Australian National Audit Office has done amazing work holding Defence to account for multi-billion dollar failures. In response the Albanese Government is cutting there work. So much for accountability and transparency.

Evidence from Northern Territory Paediatricians about what locking 10 and 11 year old kids does to them. These experts know that it causes serious harm. The NT Government initially tried to ignore them and then to silence them. It's shameful.

The Albanese Labor government is currently talking with the US about what data Trump gets access to on Australians traveling there. We need clarity that Australians' biometric data will be safe from Palantir, the US far-right tech giant powering ICE's deportation machine.

Labor are slashing veterans' healthcare and putting a cap on services in this budget. This Government is cutting healthcare across the community, it must stop.

Many social media accounts were shut down under the social media age ban but the data from eSafety shows it did not change the number of cyberbullying and image based abuse complaints from people under 16. That's a fail.

UK at UN: War could end the moment Russia stops its invasion. Putin can't achieve his goals by military means. Putin is desperate to convince us all that Russia's victory is inevitable and our support is lost cause. But no one is falling for it. Europe's support is here to stay.

There is a pattern here. When the question is simple but the answer is politically expensive, people suddenly need “more context.” I saw it in legislative meetings. Now I’m watching it play out nationally. The language is different. The strategy is the same. Delay. Deflect. Avoid the clean answer.

You are 100% right! As a society we must learn to listen without judgment. Match others' energy and only give back what they are willing to give you. We all must freely use our voice without restraint or limitation. What we have to say is important and due the respect it deserves. SPEAK UP!
