Australia: A sovereign continent not for Marles to gift away Yesterday’s statement by Defence Minister Richard Marles that Australia’s geography and continent would be crucial to any United States prosecution of a war against China will go down as a dark moment...

The difference this time is they will start an attack on China and use Australia as their target.

Of course Morrison lives off the proceeds, so he’s undoubtedly going to declare his conflict of interest.

Trump's AUKUS blackmail is Albanese's chance to ditch a disastrous deal — but he won't Australia is now the only participant not reviewing AUKUS. It's the perfect time for the government to walk away and guarantee our naval future with different partners.

The irony is that UK and US are subjecting AUKUS to far more scrutiny than it has ever received here, given Labor signed up to the disaster within hours of Scott Morrison announcing it in the hope of altering his hopeless political trajectory.

Australia’s foreign policy resembles a house with too many builders and no building plan. It’s a mess – caught between rhetorical independence and practical US subservience. We lack the clarity and courage to act with true sovereignty. #auspol #AUKUS

We only need to look at the insane escalation of events on the streets in America. Which are entirely the Trump regimes fault, to realize that AUKUS is unworkable, & security / sovereignty threat to Australia.

No one lobbies as hard and as secretly as the defence industry and its mostly expolitician lobbyists. Billions of government money going to them depends on it. Quit #aukus now. #labor #auspol

Signed and recommended you do too. The former PM was censured by Parliament for his secret ministries. A principal instigator of Robodebt, lied to the French President while signing the worst defence deal ever (AUKUS). Shouldn't get any award.

Australia should have minimised ties with the US a very long time ago, including, but not limited to, the removal of all US military personnel from Australia. We should have also opposed every US invasion, war crime, and taken no part in their global arms dealing business. We are not alone in this.

Friday essay: let’s rethink Australia’s national security – and focus on fairness and climate action, not blind fealty to the US The change in the US after Donald Trump returned to power should make us think deeply whether Washington's aims and policies will offer us the security we need.

AUKUS was conceived entirely in secret and sprung on the Australian people overnight without any consultation. It still has not been subject to any serious parliamentary or democratic scrutiny. #auspol #AUKUS #nuclear

US military waste contractor with flawed safety record backing Australian N-waste dump A US military mega-contractor assisting an Australian company to develop a proposal for a nuclear waste dump in Central Australia has a flawed safety record in handling nuclear waste storage.

AUKUS requires disposal of high-level ☢️ from ☢️ reactors in the submarines and defence-related ☢️ and hazardous waste, including visiting US and UK ☢️ submarines and warships. Storage systems are unreliable and hazardous for thousands of years. #auspol #nuclear #AUKUS

Australia must resist US bullying to increase its military spending | Allan Behm It’s up to Anthony Albanese to decide Australia’s budget priorities – rather than allowing us to get sucked into a contest between US and China

"Setting an arbitrary percentage of GDP is no way to calculate budget priorities...Let us all hope that Albanese can maintain his poise & resist strident calls for military boosterism."

Australia urged to spend big while green iron is hot Australia could replace carbon-intensive exports with green iron and quadruple earnings, a report says, but it needs to act soon and decisively to seize the opportunity.

‘Introducing a green iron production tax credit of $170 per tonne could temporarily address the lack of a carbon price, the report found, while grants of up to 30 per cent could help to establish early green iron projects.’ #GreenIron

US decays; for Australia, independence beckons Donald Trump is not an aberration, but rather a symptom of the disease, not its cause.

How Japan cashes in on resales of Australian LNG at the expense of Australian gas users As both Eastern and Western Australia face gas shortfalls, Japan is onselling vast volumes of Australian LNG at a handsome profit.

‘In 2024, Japan onsold at least 600 petajoules (PJ) of Australian LNG to overseas markets, and potentially 800PJ, more than Eastern Australia’s annual domestic gas consumption.’

After its landslide win, Labor should have courage and confidence on security – and our alliance with the US The re-election of the Albanese Labor Government by such a wide margin should not mean “business as usual” for Australia’s security policy.

“On AUKUS, for instance, the government must build its “ social licence” from the public to sustain such a massive deal across generations. Australians need to be better informed about — and consulted on — the decisions they will ultimately pay for.” #AUKUS #auspol
