29th Prime Minister of Australia - 2015 -2018. Retweets not necessarily an endorsement. http://malcolmturnbull.com.au
@AlboMP gives a measured Curtin Lecture which speaks about Australia’s sovereignty and independence (while at the same time evoking the US alliance he says Curtin founded). Unremarkable you might think? But he has been lashed by @sussanley and the right wing media for DARING to…
The new US Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Caudle makes it very clear that the US currently cannot spare any Virginias for Australia and describes the daunting challenge to do so. Time for a Plan B? open.substack.com/pub/malcolmtur…

Not all screen time is equal - but saying YouTube shouldn’t be included in the social media ban laws is farcical. My piece in today’s SMH smh.com.au/national/not-a… #socialmediaban #parenting #screentime
Very waffly discussion about #AUKUS on RN today - as usual talking in generalities, no focus on the critical issues of shipbuilding, or capacity to transfer subs to Aus when USN is short of them - claim “lots going on with Pillar 2” - but no discussion of what that is (hint…

“If the US Navy is already short of SSNs and its industry is producing too few to replace retirements, let alone increase the fleet numbers, how could any president, no matter how well disposed to Australia, part with any of them even to an ally like Australia?” Turnbull told the…

“Together, U.S. allies can exert considerable influence and contend with the havoc unleashed by Washington.” Read @TurnbullMalcolm, Australia’s former prime minister, on how U.S. allies should respond to Trump’s threats: foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…
The US has announced that the Trump administration will undertake a comprehensive review of the AUKUS defence agreement to ensure it aligns with the government’s agenda. So, is it really a final farewell to the nuclear submarines we have never seen?
“China has always bristled at how the United States and its dollar dominate the global system of trade and finance,” writes @TurnbullMalcolm. Today, that dominance “is being shaken not by anything China has done but by Trump’s actions.” foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…
Most of the debate today is missing the point. The US can comply with the AUKUS deal without transferring any submarines to Australia. substack.com/@malcolmturnbu…
The UK is conducting a review of AUKUS. The US DoD is conducting a review of AUKUS. But Australia, which has the most at stake, has no review. Our Parliament to date has been the least curious and least informed. Time to wake up?

“Future U.S. leaders may try to restore the country’s moral leadership, but trust once lost is hard to win back. Trade deals come and go, but if the light on the hill shines only for Americans, Trump will have ushered in a darker world for everybody else.”…
