Aussies are being told this is not our war and that our role is only “defensive” by @AlboMP. So why are SAS troops in the Middle East? You don’t deploy James Bond for admin and evacuation paperwork. What exactly are they doing there?

Trump’s latest war-mongering is a brutal reminder that AUKUS was always a dangerous bet. It won’t make Australia safer. It will FUKUS - by tying us tighter to US recklessness and war. My blog from last year looks even more relevant now.👇🏽 www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/aukus-i...

Trump just threatened Spain for saying “no” to US use of Spanish bases - trade threats and sovereignty bullying. And Aussie Trumpists still say criticising him “helps China”? China doesn’t talk about allies like this. Trump does.

“A submarine deal with no submarines.” - Malcolm Turnbull on AUKUS. Imagine what $368 billion could do for housing, healthcare, education, climate resilience and renewable energy instead.👇🏽 #AUKUS #AusPol

Question for @albomp.bsky.social and @senatorwong.bsky.social: Do Australians detained overseas deserve equal protection from their government regardless of which country is responsible? Or is Israel exempt from serious criticism?

Today is Nakba, when Palestinians commemorate “the catastrophe” of mass displacement that accompanied the creation of Israel after the Holocaust. Maybe Australia struggles so much with this conversation because we’re still in denial about our own history?

Trump Tower on the Gold Coast? How can we allow that? A beachfront billboard for a political brand. Should Australia’s skyline be a MAGA culture-war monument. Yes or no?

Australians in the IDF are the war crimes question we can’t ignore. If they’re part of alleged war crimes, shouldn’t the AFP investigate? We asked these questions about Afghanistan and Syria. Why not Gaza? www.lyrebirddreaming.com/post/austral...

International law 101: even if you think the US and Israel had good reasons, countries can’t just bomb another country because they think it’s the “bad guy”. The rule is: no attacks unless the UN signs off, or it’s clear self-defence. Once that rule breaks, everyone’s less safe.

While Trump tries to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, Israel is still devastating Lebanon: 1,400+ killed, 4,400+ injured, 1.2 million displaced, and 14% of the country reportedly occupied. For Australia, that would be bigger than NSW and Victoria combined. Enough is enough.

It's unfortunate.But I think everybody knows exactly where all this is from.

A fire in a shopping center near Iran’s capital killed several people and injured dozens, state TV said Wednesday. The fire started Tuesday. It was not clear what caused the blaze.

I liked how because of Midori's height, he always lands on his feet. But because of his inexperience, it always seems entirely incidental. His feet just happened to be near the ground.
