The War Parties: Labor, One Nation and the Liberals just voted together to pass a Bill that will slam the door on Iranians fleeing a war they have cheered on.

When Iranian news is more honest than American news, if a bit repetitive.

I don’t think unconditional surrender is imminent.

I can't even find the words to express how repugnant and despicable this post is.

People who spew such Islamophobic bile don't belong in the United States Congress. The job of elected officials is to combat hate, not fan its flames. (1/2)

Questions mount for Hegseth over possible US involvement in strike on Iranian school Democrats have written to ask the defence secretary whether the US was responsible, but he says the issue is being investigated.

Hegseth said there would be no stupid rules of engagement for Trump's war against Iran.

So they blew up a school full of children and have shown no remorse. How Christian.

No notes.

DISTRACTIONS DON’T WORK.

COVERUPS WON’T WORK.

NOT EVEN WAR.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast.

They’ll play this in museums in future.

Slotkin: "If Russia is helping to kill US forces, we have crossed a rubicon. We have to take decisive action on that. Instead, we're giving them breaks on oil. They're making a ton of money."

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious.

You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

Imagine a world where Americans were smarter and didn’t applaud when reactionary idiot Ronald Reagan made a show out of removing the solar panels Jimmy Carter had installed on the White House. We wouldn’t now have to worry about affording to fill gas tanks next month.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".

"This appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military..."

US responsible for deadly missile strike on Iran school, preliminary inquiry says Strike that killed at least 175 people, most of them children, reportedly the result of a targeting mistake by US military planners

They hit it, waited, then hit it again.

Evil.

New leader of The Nationals, Matt Cameron, reckons Australia needs to be saved.

Australia hs bn saved, from the Liberal Nationals dreadful opposition coal-ition, twice in the past few years.

If they gain power again, Australia will hv to be saved all over again!

US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staff’s home, according to a watchdog report

I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression.

What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

Jeremy's reaction is a good measure of how this failure will be received among the wider public, not only as it concerns the NACC, but what it suggests about the broader ability of Australian institutions to hold anyone of significant power or influence to account for anything in future.

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.

Hearings 62. Private hearings were held pursuant to section 62 of the NACC Act extending over 35 sitting days between 5 August and 3 October 2025. During those private hearings, each of the 6 referred persons and a further 33 witnesses were called to give evidence. See Witnesses. 63. The Deputy Commissioner considered the use of public hearings and applied the statutory test established under the NACC Act. The statutory threshold for public hearings in this investigation was not met. For more

NACC decided it wasn't in the public interest to make its corruption hearings with Morrison, Campbell, Mussolino etc public

I would conservatively estimate that 90% of Australians would disagree

In the present context, however, of an investigation into allegations of corrupt conduct, we are not so much concerned with Diceyan theory of ministerial accountability and Cabinet solidarity as with personal obligations of honesty and good faith. Thus, although Mr Morrison may have been responsible to Cabinet for the failings of DSS – in particular for DSS’ failings in not preventing the shortcomings of the NPP and checklist – it by no means necessarily follows that Mr Morrison was personally at fault for not detecting the failings of DSS or that he set out to act dishonestly or in bad faith. The question of any personal shortcoming requires consideration of the system and circumstances of ERC’s operation at the time of its adoption of the NPP.

The passages clearing Morrison of fault are extraordinary

NACC says Morrison is technically "responsible" as cabinet Minister, but not "personally at fault"

If responsibility exists without consequence...then what does "ministerial accountability" even mean anymore?

"The government might be wishing Australia taxed its LNG exports as much as the royalties on iron ore, and better still, coal.

"LNG prices are soaring, but we only get 2% of that on top of the company tax, compared with 7% for iron ore and 13% for coal."

Court documents expose Rubio, Wiles and Conway's ties to $50 million scam And they're just the tip of the iceberg

Inside a $50 million Venezuelan lobbying deal and a court battle ensnaring White House power brokers — including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and chief of staff Susie Wiles.

Thirdly, it is necessary to bear in mind that Mr Morrison, like many other ministers, was not a lawyer, and therefore did not have, nor could be expected to have, an informed comprehension of how a once-perceived need for legislative amendment had resolved, without fundamental change to the structure of OCI, to the view that legislative amendment was not required.1555 It was enough, and it was necessary for the proper efficient processes of government, for Mr Morrison, as with other like ministers, to be assured by the NPP and checklist that the subject matter experts within each department were agreed that legislative amendment was not required

"Thirdly, as a dumbass who doesn't know stuff - and never bothered to learn - Mr Morrison can hardly be held accountable"

accuracy of advice provided to the Cabinet under their names. Those were and are requirements of the principle of Cabinet solidarity. But that does not mean that the presenting and portfolio ministers were (or presumably are) expected to examine or interrogate each proposal they brought to Cabinet with the time, skill and insight of the departmental experts whose role it was to ensure that the NPP complied in all respects with Cabinet requirements. If the department failed to ensure that an NPP was compliant, the presenting minister and to a greater or lesser extent the portfolio minister were ultimately responsible; but not necessarily, if at all, because of any personal failing on the part of those ministers to do what was to be expected of a competent minister in the presenting or portfolio minister’s position. Neither presenting ministers nor portfolio ministers had or presumably have the time, or in most cases ability, to reinterpret or re-examine matters covered in the checklist; especially the question of whether legislation is required. Ministers were, and presumably still are, expected to and did rely on the warranty of the secretaries of the departments who had signed off on their Cabinet submissions.

NACC lets Morrison off the hook, believing Ministers shouldn't be expected to "examine or interrogate" new proposals like Robodebt. They say Ministers also don't have the time or ability (??) to ensure programs are compliant with the law.

What...do they think we're paying these people to do?
