The govt is making a big deal about giving temporary humanitarian visas to a small number of female Iranian ⚽️ players.
At the same time, the XBENCH is trying to block the govt passing legislation to enable it to suspend the temporary visas to 🇦🇺 already held by 7000+ Iranians outside this country.
The NACC continues to be a joke
Wasn't it in Poland?
Poland wasn't actively under mass attack by Russian drones.
So it's not quite the same thing despite the messaging that it is.
The Albanese government is not a good government. They don't represent the people who voted for them. They aren't prepared to be upfront on their dealings with the US. They treat the public as fools who are easily manipulated.
Tens of thousands of Australians are in Lebanon right now, sheltering from Israeli attacks, and the Albanese Government has not said a peep.
As the Albanese Government commits us to an illegal US forever war, they are ignoring the victims of the horror they support.
Greens Senator Nick McKim lashes out, Calls Trump a "Fascist War Criminal" and saying Anthony Albanese should be embarrassed for tying Australia 'to the hip' with the US by entering the War with Iran.
Being "quietly alarmed" is what the moderate Liberals used to do all the time, right up until they all lost their seats. Grow a spine or don't bother.
NEWS — Trump coercing staff to wear the same black pair of shoes that he wears.
“Everybody’s afraid not to wear them,” a staffer said, as some reportedly ditch their own footwear to comply with Trump’s wishes.
We’re officially in the dumbest timeline.
Labor members are “quietly alarmed” as the cabinet supports megalomaniacs Trump and Netanyahu. They slaughter civilians, blow school children to pieces, ignore international law. and threaten world peace and Labor are mute.😳
Did Pat Conroy explain this sycophantic appeasement?
This is NOT DEMOCRACY if members of parliament cannot speak to the people.
"Members of Labor’s right faction, who will not speak on the record for fear of being seen as troublemakers, say they are concerned about how quickly Labor signed up to support the US administration’s decision"
#auspol
From AUKUS to Gaza and now Iran, on issue after issue this government fails us. "Albanese has developed an art form of avoidance of key issues for fear of being wedged. His government keeps running away from hard decisions. Pragmatism and compromise rule." #auspol

Australians deserve honesty, not talking points ; Albo, Marles and Wong.
Really disappointed in the way you explain your decision to involve Australia in Trump's war.
Disingenuos and patronising.
We deserve better than you.

"why is Australia sending missiles to the Iran conflict?" asks Tom Lowrey, but forgets the most important reason:
It's because the Albanese govt's 'alliance' with the US and desperation on #AUKUS means they will do whatever Trump wants, including participate in an illegal war. #auspol
If you watched Penny Wong’s interview with Patricia Karvelas this afternoon and/or interview with Sarah Ferguson & Richard Marles on #abc730 it’s quite apparent ‘written request from UAE’ is Labor’s convenient talking point…and that principal request was from Trump.
Fact is, politicians never learn
IF @albomp.bsky.social
@senatorwong.bsky.social and Richard Marles were subjected to a polygraph test to verify their principal reason for sending a surveillance aircraft and munitions to the UAE, one could quite safely bet a sheep station on the outcome…Trump requested it.

The problems of the world would be a lot easier to solve if the people who run the world weren’t most of the problem.
The working class pay the price when political “ leaders” abandon principles, and fail to call out the madness consuming the US and Israeli regimes.
The political elite will not bear the brunt of rising prices, unaffordable petrol, food and electricity embattled Aussies will!
You wouldn't know it watching question time in parliament.
Who are our MPs representing?
#auspol
The massive rise in Islamophobia, consciously fuelled by large sections of the media, is a national disgrace.
I'd love to hear the PM and LOTO speak out about this and the dangers of white supremacy but ....crickets
See how easy it is to grant asylum, Albo? Now recall all the other repressive regimes you've been deporting people to or barring their asylum claims cos you've been terrified of another Tampa all these decades later #auspol
That sound you are *not* hearing is Donald Trump rebuking his pal Vladimir Putin for providing Iran with specific locations of American troops to kill them.
Instead, Donald is *easing* sanctions on Russia.
He is despicable.
Disappointed I was the only MP to vote against 2nd reading of Govt-Oppn bill that will give the Minister power to stop entire classes of temp visa holders arriving in Aus. A discriminatory policy letting the Govt decide which imperilled ppl are worth saving. #auspol #politas
⚡️ Zelensky says 11 countries have asked Ukraine for help with interceptor drones, electronic warfare.
"Ukraine is ready to respond positively to requests from those who help us protect the lives of Ukrainians," he said.
150 MPs in the House today and how many openly oppose or even question Aust involvement in Trump's war??
What a joke.
#auspol #qt
David Shoebridge fires up saying Australians are horrified at Labor dragging us into an illegal war on Iran which “started with the US killing of schoolgirls.”
Says sending in Aus troops is “not about safety” but to ‘free up US assets’ so they can “kill ppl in Iran”💥 #auspol
How come the US military isn't defending the UAE against drones?
The US military is the greatest ever according to Trump.
Yet they need little ole Aussie to help?
What utter nonsense.
Albanese just wags his tail when his master calls.
#auspol
Next announcement? The thousands of refugees in visa limbo who were promised help before the last election are going to get it. Don't play ethical hero in this instance while still subjecting other people to torturous uncertainty and insecurity. #AusVotes2028 #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...
The announcement today from the Albanese Labor Government to send an E-7A Wedgetail aircraft to the Gulf and provide medium-range air-to-air missiles to the UAE shows Australia has been fully dragged into another US forever war.
