The US/UK military industrial complex will move heaven and earth with the corrupt Trump regime to ensure the AUKUS money trail from Aus taxpayers continues unabated. It’s embarrassing that Labor , without due diligence, or an inquiry supports this madness!

Fraud, corruption, incompetence and concerns about managing the AUKUS contracts. Audit Office exposes major failures in Defence contract management but “processes will improve” 😂claims spokesperson. We are lambs to the $368B AUKUS rip off slaughter!

The Israeli and USA genocide in Gaza continues unabated. We transfer $Bs to the US military industrial complex and the US transfers arms and military hardware to Israel. This is used to terrorise, kill and maim innocent children and civilians. AUKUS is a reprehensible disgrace!.

Why are we tying our defence, our economy and future prosperity to a corrupt, incompetent and authoritarian Trump regime? Sacrificing our sovereignty to a dysfunctional country led by a corrupt misogynistic grifter beggars belief! Scrap AUKUS and regain some dignity. #4Corners.

For those who have asked for the books I recommended on the Sunday Shot. 1) Malcolm Fraser “ Dangerous Allies”.2) Clinton Fernandes (Island off the Coast of Asia”).Clinton’s book has the General MacArthur statement to Curtin that the USA views Australia only as a military base.

On air on the Sunday Shot discussing the ABC, Gaza and the inadequacy of government responses.

I’ll be a panelist on “The Sunday Shot” along with Josh Bornstein. Should get great insights on Antoinette Lattouf’s unfair dismissal victory over the ABC. Looking forward to the Peter Cronau interview on the US alliance. AUKUS and Gaza might get a run! .So many big issues!

The genocide in Gaza continues unabated as world attention shifted to Iran. Australia should condemn, unequivocally, Netanyahu’s genocidal cruelty, impose stronger sanctions and give Palestinians hope by recognising Palestinian statehood.

As Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank face a holocaust of death and discrimination the ABC are fixated on the fluff of a fashion “icon” changing jobs!.What is going on?.

Lack of affordable housing is the result of years of neoliberalism and greed. Privatisation, competition policy, profits before people,small government, and demonisation of the poor and disadvantaged. Labor needs to be more courageous, innovative and visionary on public housing.

Well done Ed. Many Labor politicians privately concur.Time for caucus to adopt a principled approach to Trump, Netanyahu, Gaza, Aukus and end supplication to the US/UK military industrial complex. Stop conceding our sovereignty and morality to Trump!

The ABC “regrets how the decision was handled “. No regret for caving in to an organised campaign against an employee or that senior management abandoned common sense and courage. How can we be confident in factual unbiased reporting and commentary?

Matt Keogh says “Not acceptable to the globe” The latest weasel words to justify our craven capitulation to the Trump regime. Genocide in Gaza is not acceptable yet we mouth platitudes and divert our eyes. Why has my party abandoned morality and support for international law?.

Australians should be aware that given the govts sycophantic embrace of US militarism they will have little intestinal fortitude to resist Trumps demands to increase military spending. It will mean cuts to health, education and lower living standards. Diplomacy not militarism.

If, as Richard Marles said ,the govt acts in Australia’s interest he would call out Israeli genocide in Gaza and illegal attacks on Iran. He would stop mouthing “rules based international order” as he ignores Israel’s nuclear bomb stockpile and US aggression .#7.30.

According to US politicians we are paying $368B to be on the frontline of confronting the “aggression” our most important trading partner, China. It’s economic, military and social madness. You don’t build a good society by stupidity and militarism.

Meant the Trump regime!.

My comments to the Guardian in relation to the utterly stupid and illegal warmongering by the Trump.

I was interviewed by Michelle Grattan for her analysis of the politics behind Labor leadership support for the illegal Trump attack on Iran. The caucus must challenge the abandoning of the enduring values of peace, non proliferation and morality.
