Is Australia at war with Iran? The fine line between β€˜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

β€œThis's not a war about democracy or freedom, those claims were always a lie.

Israeli media: "In Israel, there are those who already think we need to hit targets that are not just Hezbollah's - but civilian targets, in order to send them a message.."

They're not even pretending anymore. They're openly discussing targeting civilians as official policy.

β€˜We’re living in an Orwellian nightmare’: Grace Tame calls Anthony Albanese a β€˜coward’ in scathing critique In an essay for Crikey, the former Australian of the Year says the PM is a β€˜turncoat’ who is β€˜capitulating to foreign powers’ amid the US-Israel war on Iran

"Tame contrasted Albanese’s historical advocacy for Palestine & critique of Australia’s involvement in the Iraq war with his current position on Iran...

To Albanese, I am difficult because I am both aware of this reality & unafraid to scream it at the top of my lungs, much to his obvious chagrin."

Antisemitism Envoy Jillian Segal-funded disinformation network β€œAdvance” is now attacking one of the nation’s best and most respected journalists, over doing his job and pointing out the bleeding obvious regarding Israel and the US.

Australia has not joined South Africa’s ICJ case against Israel. Penny Wong stated Australia does not accept the premise of the case.

Wong said in Oct 2023 that Israel’s order to cut food/water to Gaza was β€œdifficult to judge from afar.”

Now they’ve doubled down on our complicity.

The NACC robodebt report: A heartbreaking work of staggering incompetence Rick Morton wrote the book on robodebt. He delivers a damning verdict on the NACC's long-awaited robodebt report, which exonerated Scott Morrison and Kathryn Campbell.

The NACC report is astonishing for just how many non-sequiturs, excuses and naive assumptions can be packed into 455 pages. The deputy commissioner who authored it is not a judge, unlike Catherine Holmes. And it shows. www.crikey.com.au/2026/03/13/n...

Analysts say US threat of β€˜no quarter’ for Iran violates international law Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said there would be 'no quarter, no mercy' as US continues to pummel Iran.

Pleased to be quoted alongside Sarah Yager in this piece.

β€œThe basic idea is that it’s both inhumane and counterproductive to execute people who have laid down their arms.”

And an outrageous war crime to even announce you will do so.
