Scott Morrison just said the AUkUS submarines he contracted to buy “ can’t come soon enough “

If we can only get the Chinese frigate and cruiser to hold still for the next 30 years when our contingent of nuclear powered submarines arrive we will be safe as houses.

The media never picked up the absurdity of these comments.

Trying to be LNP lite is a joke. Let’s stop aping these fools. The US has gone fully rogue. As Keating said years ago we have to find our security within Asia not from Asia.

Start taxing our mining, gas and multi national corps appropriately. Tax carbon ( again ) Move to property and land taxes on all expensive homes used now as a tax haven. Fund publlc schools - finally.

What are we waiting for.

ANZUS is dead. Neoliberalism is dead.

A much needed analysis Joel. The most recent Resolve Poll, although potentially an outlier, is diabolical.

Throughout all of the last 3 years, the ALP has arrogantly ignored the crossbench and helped revive the LNP by pursuing a 2-term strategy when the ALP’s primary vote from 2022 suggests it’s less likely to happen.

If the ALP get back in via minority, time to ditch Albanese and get someone who hasn’t been in Parliament so long and holds massive antipathy to the Greens. The electoral financing legislation shows how Albanese is very comfortable with working with the right wing and denying choice to voters.
