Lindsey Graham: "To all those who died in this endeavor called Epic Fury, you're protecting America"
I am in a rushed hearing into the Albanese Labor Government's travel freeze, clearly aimed at preventing people from Iran from seeking safety in Australia.

“It’s not even that we’ve turned away, but that the Labor party has currently proven itself to be inconsistent with [our] values,” Yasmin Poole tells Crikey. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/10/a...
Incredible and noteworthy how selective politicians, media and their enablers are about human rights and who they want to and don’t want to help. #auspol

Or any of the thousands of refugees in Australia left to languish on temporary protection visas for over 10yrs.
If only those ISIS brides were good at sport #auspol
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
Dear Australians.
How's this for an idea?
Let's stop walking into the polling booth and voting for people who do the most terrible things to us.
It really is up to us.
From your fellow Australians #auspol
why on earth would one of the most militarised parts of the planet require Australian assistance with an attack weapon and a posse of blokes???? It's performative - again - and dangerously so
Sums up Albanese in a sentence
Richard Marles lets down every Australian by gaslighting us about Trump and Netanyahu's war.
He's a powerful and dangerous politician - and we'll all be safer when he no longer makes decisions for us #auspol #qt
The Australia I'm working for shows empathy & compassion for all asylum seekers - not just those where it's politically convenient to do so
We also look after Australian citizens overseas & those wanting to come home from war zones inc 23 women & children in Syria #auspol #qt
I know there's a bit going on, but over at my newsletter I offered a few thoughts about how climate change is killing the Liberal Party and what its recent election autopsy reveals about how it is grappling this dilemma.
Spoiler: it's not.
Me in @crikey.com.au today:
Albanese leveraged high profile young women to build his reputation as a leader who "got it". Now those same women tell me they feel the trust is gone, they've lost their patience and believe the PM's mask has slipped.

⛏️ Miner donations to minor parties
The Minerals Council of Australia broke with its practice of funding only major political parties in the 2025 federal election, donating $125,000 to the Jacqui Lambie Network and $6,000 to One Nation. #politas #auspol

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
This is the real price of petrol.
Leave it in the ground so others can simply live.
This needs more attention. The guys who drove the Iraq invasion after 9/11 are back advising Trump on #Iran.

Albanese and Wong have a press conference coming up - guess we’ll find out #auspol
What else did Trump discuss with Albanese - and what did Albanese say yes to?
Albanese always says ‘yes’ to the worst people #auspol
Not if you watched Fox News which edited to show him in another outfit.
Nothing makes sense anymore.
This seems bad
Happy International Women’s Day!
