“Senator Wong, what exactly are the rules?”
“It’s very simple Brian. We can’t rule in or rule out that there are rules, due to the International Rules Based Order directed to us by our ally the United States. That’s the rules”

Four frames. Title: “The rules”. Albo and Penny Wong at a lectern. 1. Albo: “Some of you have asked if rules still apply, so we’d like to clear things up.” Wong: “Obviously we shouldn’t kill!” 2. Albo: “However, if you hurt or kill someone and enough people agree they were bad, then the rules aren’t up to us.” Wong: “It’s a ‘matter for them’” 3. Albo : “Also, if you get someone else to do the killing for you and someone accuses you of it, that’s ‘a conspiracy’” Wong: “Against the rules!” 4. Plus, if thousands of innocent people get killed when you kill the bad person, you must focus on the six people you saved.” Wong: “That’s the rule!”

DUBAI, March 11 (Reuters) - Three vessels have been hit by unknown projectiles in the Strait of Hormuz, maritime security and risk firms said on Wednesday, bringing the number of ships struck in the region since the Iran conflict began to at least 14.

At least two people have been arrested in Queensland for saying "from the river to the sea" today at a protest. I think we all knew this day was coming. A dark milestone in our homegrown authoritarian decline.

The lack of any serious consequences for the key players in the Robodebt scandal just gives a green light and a blueprint for current and future governments to get away with evil stuff like that again.
Which is why the NACC needs to be completely overhauled now

A quiet contradiction is unfolding in Washington. War with Iran… while cutting pieces of the government machinery that supports those efforts.
That tension deserves a closer look.

Still dumb as a can of Spam
He's a simpleton
With a heart of coal
In a complicated land
Oh, he's a Matt Canavan

Two robodebt officials engaged in serious corrupt conduct, Nacc finds, but Scott Morrison cleared Anti-corruption watchdog makes adverse findings against two former public servants but clears four other individuals

Robodebt was the worst failure of public administration in Australian history. It raised est. $1.73 bn of illegitimate debts from over 430,000 vulnerable Australians and plunged thousands of families into distress and grief. And still no real consequences.

Single panel editorial cartoon. New Nationals leader Canavan is walking with Sen McKenzie as he says, “We just need to sell more everything Australia”, she replies, “More bushfires, floods, droughts, severe temperatures, weather events, rising food costs and general climate instability? Sure, do you think they’ll buy it?” He replies, “Heh, yep, and more jokes”. In the background is a group of shops - gaslight costumes, make australia great again, one nation salon and the Golden Arches over trump. Canavan is wearing a tradie high-vis shirt which has written on it ‘made in Australia from local an imported ingredients, his face and hands have coal dust on them. McKenzie is holding a bottle of bright orange hair dye labelled Pauline’s Hair Dye.

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.

It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
