"AUKUS is not just about nuclear-powered submarines," writes Peter Garrett. "Crucially. AUKUS has reversed the bipartisan consensus on what should constitute the basis of Australia’s defence policy – namely, the actual defence of the Australian continent." trib.al/rE3ZcqQ

Even the Murdoch press abandoning the AUKUS debacle. When the Murdoch press are saying no matter how much we have spent we should get out, then surely the Albanese govt should listen to the growing opposition to this madness. AUKUS inquiry launch at NPC live on ABC 12.30.

People see what they want to see. What we see first and foremost is yet another mindless, vicious and violent attack on a woman. Our thoughts are with Helen Haines MP and her family, friends and colleagues. #EndViolenceAgainstWomen – at Wollongong, New South Wales

Labor MP for Shellharbour in the NSW Parliament, @a_watson62 Anna Watson, has said she has listened to the "overwhelming majority" in her community and does not support an AUKUS nuclear submarine base at Port Kembla. Thank you Anna! illawarramercury.com.au/stor…

I’m not numb. I’m absolutely furious
Sydney has experienced a horrifying weekend of alleged family and domestic violence. We cannot become numb to the pain and violence we are seeing.

Greg Moriarty bells the cat. AUKUS is not about defending Australia it’s designed to contain, constrain and attack our most important trading partner, China. AUKUS sacrifices sovereignty to US warmongering and entangles us in a war that can’t be won. Labor. has lost the plot!

What happens to Australian politicians, public servants and the military when they arrive in the USA? They lose all sense of Australian sovereignty and acquiesce to US hegemony at the expense of our safety. We need real leadership not sycophantic capitulation.

Some excellent news from Australia: the Zionist legal campaign aimed at silencing journalist Mary Kostakidis has collapsed. Her shameful subjection to a modern-day McCarthyism has finally been lifted. Let us make sure no one else has to endure this — never again.
Breaking: Zionists legal proceedings against me have been withdrawn after a 2 year battle. This is a win for every Australian who values our democratic right to freedom of political expression. Zionist zealotry has had to beat a retreat from what was going to be a highly damaging trial. I have spent 2 years doing nothing but preparing my defence in a case aimed at silencing me - a case that would have cost the average Australian their home. I want to thank my fellow Australians who recognised the significance of what we stand to lose, stood with me and stepped up to assist me to launch my defence. The purpose of journalism is to get to the truth - fearlessly - and to hold power to account. This is a win for press freedom, which has prevailed. I want to thank my legal team, XD Law led by Mark Davis assisted by Jack Vaughn, and the formidable Sheryn Omeri assisted by Richard Reynolds, who took on board the full national and international dimensions that the case warranted, and my husband for his unflinching moral clarity. Watching a people live stream their own genocide while the international community responsible for creating this mess offers the victims sympathy and the perpetrators bombs, diplomatic cover and impunity, has been disgusting. Thank you to the Jewish and Israeli people all over the world raging against this in recognition our common humanity trumps any form of tribalism. Australia must stop disregarding the Orders of the International Court of Justice which were clear: we are obliged under international law to take meaningful action to prevent genocide in Palestine and to do all in our power to bring about an end to apartheid. Hypocrisy, double standards and a lack of courage are aiding the destruction of a framework intended to protect against the worst excesses of state power.

Today two #NFL teams noisily take to the MCG. Earlier this month US B52 bombers quietly based at RAAF Tindal in the NT. Not all touchdowns are a cause for celebration. With #AUKUS and #nuclear weapons Australians have a right to know and to say no. @IPAusNet @ican_australia

I can understand the NSW Police Force providing protection to IDF Officers in the Sydney Marathon. What I don't understand is why it's not protective custody. #babykillers #Auspol #SanctionIsrael – at Wollongong, New South Wales

Yes, the core statements match. Sephardi Chief Rabbi David Yosef said on 20 Aug 2026 at the Gush Katif Museum that Palestinians “were never a people and have no rights,” that Gaza and Judea/Samaria “are ours,” and that for desecrating synagogues they deserve God to destroy all of Gaza so Jews can return. Video and Arutz 7 confirm it. He holds one of Israel’s two official chief rabbi posts. The “tool of genocide” line is the poster’s interpretation.

I hope the national and Newcastle press hold Pat Conroy to account for his blatant lies. He must correct his statements and inform the nation and his electorate of the facts not government propaganda and talking points. The public is sick of being treated like mugs!

Marles, Conroy and Labor are being humiliated by the US regime.The fiction of sovereignty under AUKUS and HMAS Stirling is not a US base has been ruthlessly exposed.Abandoning our sovereignty, land and integrity is disgusting. What has happened to the party of Whitlam and Uren?

They don't even let them mourn their dead. Not in the heat of some clash. Not under the influence of adrenalin. No, they deny families the right to bury their dead, in their village, in cold blood. Calculatingly. As part of a clinically devised plan for erasing them, grabbing their land, turning them into non-persons. How more depraved can Israel get before Israelis realise that what is now at stake is not just land but their very soul? instagram.com/reels/DboR6ftF…

The Albanese Govt can't say US subs will be "based" in WA because, from 2032, nuclear-armed cruise missiles will be loaded on US Virginia class subs and "basing" such subs here will put Australia in breach of the nuclear free Rarotonga treaty. See 2/2. #AUKUS #auspol
