That is what I meant. To have the secrecy lifted and aired publicly. To examine the complete financial implications into the future.
To have this whole messy contract aired and exposed by people we can trust.
To see just exactly how effective such deterrents as submarines may prove in future warfare where technology can probably detect underwater threats and direct against them from a landbase.
To expose the extremely untrustworthy #US govt intentions to actually deliver anything much while Australians are wasting money desperately needed to be spent at home on our own people.

This idiotic, underhand, European ally-betraying, corrupt #Morrison deal should have been killed off the minute #Labor got the chance.
I cannot forgive them for what I see as a betrayal of our country and giving away our control and rights in a Defence matter, whilst crippling us with debt.

Hey #MomsForLiberty, I mean Moms for #fascism, I taught #Beloved today -- you know, one of your favorite books to ban, the one that won a #Nobel -- and the discussion was wonderful, thoughtful, powerful. The students were blown away by #Morrison's voice, writing, story. We talked about a lot about #grief, generational #trauma, and the power of stories. And F you for trying to take them away.

Reversal of the #JRG has been an obvious ‘must do’ for the govt since #AlboPM ended the #Morrison debacle. One then wonders why this hasn’t already been done… yet another #Labor failure to act for the better of society as a whole.

Credlin fiddles with Trump

Peta Credlin wants us to blame Anthony Albanese, not the US President, a convicted felon and alleged pedophile, Donald John Trump, for our fuel pain. Still, we are hurting, not because of the alleged pedophile and US President moving to take out an an evil Islamists regime (that Trump first mentioned 'taking out' and 'bombing them' in a New York Times article, published in 1988) that Credlin claims, without proof, other than "Donny John said" was close to launching nuclear attacks on its neighbours.

At last, here is some light shed on #Australia ‘s #FuelReserves which ought to stop a lot of dis-misinformation being spread about the place by msm and some politicians. Just yesterday, some #LNP Senator twit misled the Sentate apparently, by announcing that the #Morrison govt and #AndrewTaylor had indeed made provisions for a ‘strategic reserve’ of fuel and it didn’t cost them anything, he said in fact that they [the govt] were paid to keep it in Texas/Louisiana. How did he get away with this lie?

We’ve got figures from #Labor on stocks held by the fuel industry in Australia, but nary a word from the #LNP about how much fuel (or what fuels) Australia has/had in the US or how much it cost. I guess they are hoping those questions will be forgotten in a week or so.

AI will tell you Australia’s fuel reserve is in the US. But is that even true?

Australia does not have a government-backed stockpile, experts say, and even if we did still store oil in the US, it would not be much
