True that. “Pine Gap facility is monitoring the Gaza Strip and surrounding areas with all its resources, and gathering intelligence assessed to be useful to Israel,” a former Pine Gap employee has told Declassified Australia in November 2023. declassifiedaus.org/2023/11/03/tar…
Has any journalist asked @AlboMP @SenatorWong @RichardMarlesMP if the (supposedly) joint controlled intelligence satellite ground station at Pine Gap is collecting information passed on to Israel by the USA for military targeting in Gaza? I mean, that’s what it’s there for
Ah yes, the old conveniently timed biosecurity review. Nothing to do with fawning, scraping and bowing to Washington. smh.com.au/politics/feder…

Small victories. Have heard @PatConroy1 was going to be replacement speaker at @APHEDA ACTU solidarity dinner in Sydney on 1 August. There was such an outcry from the old guard and rank & file (over Gaza and AUKUS), that he was pulled Warmongers not welcome. Well done comrades
No @SenatorWong. The starvation in Gaza is, alas, not ‘beyond the world’s worst fears’. This is exactly what Palestinians have been warning you about for two years. Words will not stop this. You need to act: - expel the ambassador - sanction Israel - stop arming Israel

When the commonsense of people in power is to arm, arm, arm for war using our resources for private profiteering, then we know there is something fundamentally wrong and corrupt about empire and the capitalist system. System change, not government change, is needed.
Military industry lobbyist Scott Morrison puts it out there. AUKUS is about turning Australian facilities into US bases for Pentagon war planning. No thanks! smh.com.au/world/north-am…
UK Cabinet papers show 25y ago Whitehall thought: “Australia going through one of its periodic bouts of angst over its place in Asia-Pacific and the wider world” With AUKUS + Morrison droning on in US seems it's happening again Story @BenDohertyCorro theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…
A ‘reliable ally’? Or a global power looking to leverage Australian geography to maintain its empire? smh.com.au/world/north-am…
Congratulations to Enmore branch in PM @AlboMP's electorate for UNANIMOUSLY backing our motions calling for an inquiry and removing AUKUS from the ALP national platform.
In just under two weeks, @VictorianLabor delegates to state conference will be able to deliver their verdict on AUKUS and the alliance with Trump's USA. Good interview with our Victoria convenor @HamishMcPherso6 afr.com/politics/victo…
A huge loss for the journalism community. Peter was a compassionate and dedicated journalist. And what a voice! A wonderful activist for @withMEAA at the ABC - and just a thoughtful and considerate human. We will miss him greatly. Love to Mary and the family 💔 RIP Peter.
Peter Ryan was always brimming with such enthusiasm and initiative. And he was such a lovely guy. It's hard to believe he's gone. Here's to you Pete.
Jillian Segal’s ridiculous Trumpian demands are an overreach. Finally people are calling out Zionism for the hateful, separatist ideology it is. Against the core humanist universalism as Jewish culture was taught in my family and many many others smh.com.au/national/to-de…
Good to hear a rational voice from @1RossGittins saying the obvious. That huge increases on defence spending are about filling the pockets of US war companies with cash - and making us all unsafe. smh.com.au/business/the-e…
