Can we all put it out there to Aussies who aren't all that into politics, that Canadian Liberals are the diametric opposite to Liberals in Aus.

Theirs are inclusive, humble and strive for respect and compassion.

Australian Liberals are divisive, arrogant and seek to humiliate and hate.

Don't vote LNP.

#lnplast #lnpliars #Dutton #DuttonIsAMonster #AusLabour #auspol #AusPolitics #australianelections #australianelection2025

So the LNP is sending out mailshots and displaying massive posters asking: "Can we afford a Labour Govt?" And "Put Australia back on track."

🤔 hmmm
As far as i can remember Australia was off-track for a decade under LNP with rorts, corruption and false promises.

And when the debt reached just under a trillion ppl voted with their feet to knock Morrison Dutton Frydenberg well and truly off their perches.

But hey Dutton - keep wasting party funds on lame posters. See if anyone cares.

#auspol25 #auspol2025 #AusLabour #lnpliars #australianews #AustralianElection #AusPolitics

So Dutton will need $600 billion (thats $600,000,000,000 ) of tax payers' money to fund his nuclear reactors.

What a frigging waste: same as the $368 billion ($368,000,000,000 ) predicted for the dead duck AUKUS.
Locked into with USA, thanks to that other great LNP leader, Shite Morrison.

Libs really are the party of financial MISmanagement. Can we all remember the decade of corruption we had with LNP in power ???

Can the 47% of undecided Aus voters remember that when they vote?

$968 billion could buy us a LOT of investment in medicine, education, NDIS, green tech transition and now R+D in Aus in all sectors.

Or should we vote Liberal for more dead-duckism ??

Canada Considers Cancelling F-35 Deal at 16 Aircraft, Pivot Toward Gripen | Defense Express

Discussions about breaking off the F-35 acquisition contract with the United States have reached officials in Ottawa, with alternative fighters are on the table

Incredibly interesting article in FT.

Argues that many nations could turn their back on trade with America...

Australia's trade with America is around 1% of GDP.
IF we opted out and found alternative markets it world hurt initially but not forever. We'd be far safer and a lot freer to decide our trade advantage.

Oh yes and AUKUS... a bum deal that only serves USA.
We need to cut loose; say we'll pay a penalty then never pay it... like Trump does.

So ystdy Australia paid $500 milllion towards #AUKUS
Nice gesture for a crap deal.

Today Trump slaps 25% tariffs on us for steel and aluminium.

Albanese is going to phone Trump who I expect is quaking with fear. Not.

Australia should tell Trump to stick his tariffs or we'll pull out of Aukus, find other markets for steel and kick USA bases out of Darwin... maybe invite China 🤣🤔

Well said:

By Lenore Taylor, "Guardian Australia" editor.

It probably makes sense for Anthony Albanese not to provide “running commentary” on every pronouncement from the Oval Office.

As the new US president careens from starting trade wars to proposing the US should “own” Gaza and relocate an entire population, to repeatedly seeking to buy countries that are not for sale, to dismantling USAid, to “sanctioning” the international criminal court, to withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement and the World Health Organization … as this list grows, and the pronouncements shift from day to day, the impossibility of a running commentary becomes ever clearer.

But the prime minister and the opposition leader, Peter Dutton, owe the Australian people some very considered commentary about how Australia should navigate a world order that is being upended so quickly and chaotically.

This is an administration that appears to view international relations as a series of quickie business transactions and seems to put little value on international law or deep historical alliances (just ask Canada).

That raises some pretty big questions for Australia since Aukus was an enormous strategic gamble by Australia on the enduring strength and stability of the US alliance.

In his confirmation hearing, the new secretary of state, Marco Rubio, did say that Aukus was “something that, I think, you’re going to find very strong support for in this administration”, but he also described it as a “consortium-like partnership”.

So what are the new terms of this consortium, and at what point might we stand up to our “partner” in the interests of, say, human rights, or international law, or the needs of our region? And what would be the cost?

Australians need a response that goes beyond wishful thinking or “best we keep our head down” or “we’re OK for now because we have a trade deficit and we are paying America to make our subs”.

And we certainly need a response that goes way beyond Dutton’s fawning this week about Trump’s first forays into foreign policy being evidence the president is a “big thinker” with “gravitas”

Albanese's lack of response is PATHETIC. (See The Age below)

He needs to grow a spine FGS.
He's obvs so terrified of USA; just rolls over dead for Trump.

Newsflash Albanese: Watch out for Trump just walking into #Australia and helping himself to everything on our turf by invitation of #Dutton #Reinhardt and #Palmer types of course. He'll look at developing Australia as real estate too.

LNP must not win next election - but Albo seems to be just handing it over to them. #AusLabour needs a new leader with guts

We are NOT America. See article on Duttons creating a Musk-DOGE appointment in shadow cabinet. 👇

For Gods sake... Don't vote for LNP and Dutton next election. He wants to make us like them.

Truth in Political Advertising Laws Before the Next Election

It's perfectly legal to lie in a political ad. It shouldn't be. Tell the Australian Parliament to pass truth in political advertising laws before the next election. #auspol ADD YOUR NAME to the petition: >
