She's not wrong.
Aisha Gaddafi, the daughter of the slain Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, has addressed the people of Iran.

"Negotiations with wolves do not lead to the salvation of the herd - they merely set the date for the next hunt," she stated.

Oh gosh — who’s sending Americans to die in Iran? The same people who deliberately cut Medicare for millions back home. Those attacking Iran without Congress’s approval, should pay for this war with their own money.

Iran war starts to hit home

Old cartoon gets new life.

​Ron Cobb’s 1975 critique of the military-industrial complex hits just as hard in 2026.

​The perspective shift here is everything: those on the ground looking up at the billion-dollar shadows and seeing a systemic failure, not a show of force.

After nearly three years, the robodebt report’s secret chapter has been unsealed. What does it reveal? Officials named who drafted unlawful debt recovery scheme - and who royal commissioner referred to corruption watchdog for further investigation

Justice under the Duopoly is NOT assured

Robodebt is a clear example of that

A headline with a question like this is frankly, trying to gaslight Australians.

The Dumb Reason Trump Keeps Calling His Iran War a ‘Little Excursion’ Describing his war as an ‘excursion’ is the latest way Trump is screwing things up, not worrying about the details, and refusing to correct course.

Have you wondered why Donald Trump keeps calling his disastrous war on Iran an "excursion"?

…According to close sources, it's because Trump is confusing the term “military incursion” with a "military excursion."

Labor needs to do this to retain credibility as a government for the people 🤔

Is Australia at war with Iran? The fine line between ‘defensive operations’ and complicity While its weapons, materiel and personnel are on their way to the conflict, Australia finds itself part of a coalition of the reticent, insisting its role is purely defensive

Australia is at war, Dr Richard Tanter states. The right of "collective self-defence" is invocation of UN charter Article 51. Through facilities like Pine Gap & agreements like AUKUS, Australia has enmeshed itself in the American war machine. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Is Labor following trump's anti-science defunding of science? Is this indicative of Labor's love of neoliberal policies i.e. severe defunding of public institutions in favour of 'private' big businesses? I haven't yet read the rationale for this significant depletion of our Public science sector.
