US Imperialism has been shafting Australians for ~5 decades, with bipartisan support.

Neoliberalism has been shafting Australians for ~4 decades, with bipartisan support.

Zionist McCarthyism (demonizing, defunding, and criminalizing those supporting our Genocide Convention and Arms Trade Treaty obligations) has been shafting Australians for only 3 years, with bipartisan support.

One Nation supports US Imperialism, Neoliberalism, and Zionist McCarthyism >90%.

The Greens supports US Imperialism, Neoliberalism, and Zionist McCarthyism <10%.

Which side are YOU on, and what are you doing to lend them a hand?

Even if some future Australian Government should refuse to commit to a war that involves USA, places such as Pine Gap, North West Cape, HMAS Stirling etc; will be prime targets for USA's enemies. Don't believe me? Look what happened to US bases in Bahrein, Kuwait, Jordan, UAE , Oman and Israel when Iran dealt USA bases a lesson that they deserved.

Just a small addition to the arrival of what will probably be a permanent American military community in WA .

The writer Donna Leon has written a series of crime novels , set in and around Venice . One of them centres upon just such an

American military base not far from Venice . Shops , schools , an entire self-sufficient community . Whether it is still there today is another matter , but this is what is bound to happen in WA , courtesy of our grovelling wastes of space Albanese and “snow globes”

Marles . They shame this country and treat the public with contempt , while tossing away our sovereignty.

Hasn't Pine Gap been ceded to the US?

No right of access there, for Australians!

Thanks Eddy and David.

Marles, Albanese and Conroy are positively ecstatic at signing over our territory to the Epstein class. As Dr Scott Burchill of Deakin University has note the ‘true believers’ in the U.S. supremacy often come from the Labor Party. How very true as the Labor Party spends our money building up the public housing for Americans and not Australians.

When they all retire expect them to become employed by the weapons industry.

Further to separate news, in addition to Albanese’s callous comments about his sex life in a podcast, he has caused a diplomatic annoyance to Japan with his uninformed comments about Japan’s diplomatic gift. Perhaps not the best thing to do for the nation building Australia’s next surface vessels. The Mayor of Marrickville showing his Trumpian side that he tries to carefully manage.

Apart from their humiliating grovelling to every order and dictate from America and/or their “valued friends “ the Zionist Israeli government what would Albanese or “snow globes “ Marles know about diplomacy ? They live in a world of “Yes sir , yes sir , three bags full sir “ , and many thanks for the cushy job upon our retirement . 🤮🤮🤮🤮 . We are at the nadir of acceptable

governance in this nation , where the Public Interest is not of the remotest concern to these dropkicks .

At the next election if there is not enough candidates to allow me to put Labor Liberal and PHON at the bottom of a long list . My ballot paper will be blank. I have always considered carefully and voted Labor except for the NSW government that housed Milton Orkopolous and Eddie O’Beid. The Minns government is on the nose but i have a Green local member now. But Labor won’t get my vote State or Federal. It’s almost impossible to remove Albanese from office. He is the deadwood holding us back.

One Nation function s not as a political alternative but as a way to create the conditions for the continued rightward shift of Labor policy.

These are changes their backers want to be made, and PHON makes it look as if Labor has to do something.

Political parties in Australia are not in competition, they represent the same interests and work in chaotic harmony.

With respect to the Labor government their position on Gambling is one of self interest. My belief is the ALP’s position is concern that if they pursue a stronger position on Gambling that Hellfire will fall upon Labor similar to what occurred when the Labor Government during the Rudd/Gillard era attempted to introduce a ‘super profits’ tax. Sure the polls show the voting population is in favour of stronger controls on gambling. But when push comes to shove and the Clubs, the TV networks, the Sporting Codes and the Gambling conglomerates start raising hell Albanese probably believes all bets are off (pardon the pun). Albanese’s aim is to win the next election and a red flag goes up any time Albanese believes that a policy gets in the way of reelection.

Do we realistically have an actual alternative to the AUKUS subs?

Other than having none?
