US embassy imposing Australia’s vital regional relationships on us like an imperial viceroy to a vassal. Is this the role of an embassy?

The Financial Times makes clear: When China restricts access to critical minerals, the ripple effects reach far beyond its borders – threatening manufacturers, consumers, and industries worldwide. One year after the U.S. and Australia signed the Critical Minerals Framework, our two nations are working to build more secure, diversified supply chains and reduce this vulnerability.

Stop supporting war, and enabling the worst nations on the planet, start some nation building programs, tax the foreign owned multinationals, or have a national discussion about sovereign ideas... Oh, we aren't allowed to do any of that in AUKUS land anymore are we?

Tendentious take on a national tragedy not a good sign under a new editor @FinancialReview afr.com/politics/federal/doe…

Did the road of intolerance to Wangaratta go via Bondi?

Institutional failures across the political system and other parts of society have undermined social cohesion and helped normalise political hostility and violence.

"Australia is a country that died on the hill in 1992 for Terra Nullius" @Waddananggu had some profound analysis on the nature of the disconnect that deprives Australia from its ancient culture that could help shape an independence we have never had. Together. Link: youtube.com/watch?v=MtMaFOHj…

Big election issues heating up in Israel.

This is sickening and antisemitic. An Iranian politician at his office filming himself tearing up a copy of the Jewish Torah book as he laughs. No wait, it's Michael Ben-Ari, an Israeli politician tearing up a bible for fun.

U.S. and Israel Draw Up Plans for Renewed Strikes on Iran After Elections

Renewed hostilities might not be any more successful than the war’s first phase, and President Trump has repeatedly canceled plans for a return to major combat.

The Last Starfighter was all using video games to find and train 'warriors'. And so it is now hyper-realistic war games that condition and train young people for fighting war. Just ask harry

The video games are getting more evil. This culture is responsible for numbing the minds of western consumers, and hardening them to death and brutality, as the Epstein linked monsters prepare us to fire on some more innocents in another counter far away.

It is a damning indictment of current discourse when the physical destruction of thousands of Palestinian children's lives in Gaza is minimized, while zionist discomfort in Bondi is treated as the central crisis. 80% of us in this country are sick of this bullshit - and we vote.

This is an excellent @abcnews investigation into Israel’s expansion in defiance of international law - bug team effort including local freelancers. abc.net.au/news/2026-10-22/i…

Claiming to be in a fight for survival, Israel is redrawing the map

ABC analysis reveals the extent of Israel's expansion on four fronts: Lebanon, the West Bank, Gaza and Syria.

Ukraine war ending just in time… convenient.
Current Report
@Currentreport123h
BREAKING: Iran may now be facing a new threat from Ukrainian forces operating near its borders. According to Iran's Tasnim Ukraine has deployed drone units equipped with micro-drones across several countries surrounding Iran, including Iraq's Kurdistan region, where thousands of micro-drones have been deployed near the Iranian border. Iran is aware of the countries hosting Ukrainian forces and drones, but says they will be disclosed at an appropriate time. There have already been reports of Ukrainian personnel operating in the Middle East to train local groups in drone warfare.
