Another war, another reminder that rather than spending $380Bn on AUKUS on we should use it to upgrade our grid, electrify the entire country, subsidise chargers in every home and never be oil dependent again.
We could choose to use the funds committed to submarines that are pretend,
to build social housing that is real.

Australian gas producers reap windfalls as Iran war chokes global supply Angela Macdonald-Smith Angela Macdonald-Smith Senior resources writer Mar 6, 2026 β 1.38pm Save Share Gift this article Listen to this article 7 min Australiaβs biggest gas producers are cashing in on the conflict in the Middle East and the suspension of Qatari LNG production, which has disrupted global supply, with deals struck at more than double recent market rates.

Supporting an illegal war for regime change with no evidence of a threat will not keep us safe. It will create a new wave of terrorist groups & who hate us like after Iraq. #auspol
No matter how Albanese tries to spin his way around this he will still have to face up to his extremely poor decisions to proceed with AUKUS and to maintain and expand his aquiescense to a failed state.

Me, dumb and politically correct: Firing on unarmed ships or double-tap military strikes on schools are bad things.
Under the Geneva Convention you are required to rescue the crew of a ship that you sink during war. To leave them to drown is both illegal and abhorrent. I guess depravity is the 'shared value' we have with the US and Israel @albomp.bsky.social #auspol

He clearly has no grasp of the grievous disappointment, the sense of complete betrayal in how detail and clarity of AUSKUS terms is entirely without transparency in the public forum. It is wilful deceit & a choice to exercise power against collective constituent voice.
It will be ALP undoing.
