Self proclaimed Wolverine😂 Senator James Patterson and Jennifer Parker have been rolled out in a vain attempt to discredit the AUKUS public Inquiry.The inquiry report was informed by a former PM, Foreign Affairs and Defence Ministers, military experts, academics and the public.

Pat Conroy’s claims that the AUKUS Inquiry is driven by the Australia Institute who are a front for the Greens is panicked, partisan bullshit! I was instrumental in conceiving the inquiry and I can assure you this is untrue. Pat must honestly answer the findings of the report!

13,000 downloads of the report already. I hope some of them are members of parliament.

Admiral Chris Barry and Peter Garrett giving the press a lesson on realities. Questions like does Australia need an “apex predator” ?demonstrates the lack of failure of the press to hold government to account.

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.

Govt can find $368B and an additional $$150B to purchase nuclear subs and store weapons grade nuclear waste yet poor Australians survive in a tents. Public housing for US troops while battlers are ignored. What has Australia become? Why do we put warmongering before people?

It’s World Teachers Day! We owe so much to public school teachers, who prepare our children for a future in a complex and challenging society. The AEU supports and advances teachers rights, wages and conditions. Great union for great teachers! Happy World Teachers Day!

First cab off the rank for cuts - AUKUS. AUKUS funds jobs in the UK, and USA, public housing in Australia for the US military, massive profits in the arms industry, lavish lifestyles for “consultants”, retired politicians, defence personnel and public servants. No brainer!

The callous indifference from AUKUS cheer leaders like Jennifer Parker. She admits HMAS Stirling will be a nuclear target but “not yet, in the meantime the local economy will get an economic boost and West Australians should be proud of defending the country”. This is madness!

Pat Conroy appoints former Rio Tinto CEO as National Armaments Manager. Highlights her ability to “change culture”.😳 Union busting, individual contracts, destroying communities, fly in/fly out, opposing collective bargaining, targeting union delegates. This culture? WTF?

My article on AUKUS. AUKUS is about madness, militarism and money. Turning Australia into a US military base, sacrificing our sovereignty, and enriching retired politicians, military and public servants while battlers struggle to put food on the table pearlsandirritations.com/pos…

Just heard a govt minister talk about “precious taxpayer dollars” 😂 as we spend $Bs on AUKUS to create jobs in the UK and USA and fund bases and housing for US marines in WA while locals are homeless. The AUKUS Inquiry report will be released on 4 Nov at the National Press Club

Don’t listen to religious extremist and warmonger Hegseth and his sycophantic mate Marles who claims “shared values” with this obnoxious and dangerous fool. Military experts, politicians, diplomats peace activists, unions, faith groups all oppose the madness that is AUKUS.

RW economists respond to rate rise by calling for, Increased GST, cuts to govt spending and increased productivity. No mention of poor management systems, increased company profits, declining business investment, increased executive salaries. Just screw battling Australians 🤬

Long and fascinating article by Jason Koutsoukis in the Saturday Paper. Essential reading for those of us who care about working class Australians and their families. Those who oppose neoliberalism, militarism and sacrificing our sovereignty to the Trump regime.

If Albo genuinely believes that the Indo Pacific should not be a chess board for superpowers he should stop being a pawn of the USA, surrendering our sovereignty to the Trump administration and turning Australia into a forward base for US nuclear weapons and a nuclear target!
