Don’t get your hopes up. Without access to classified information (for national security reasons as well as political — read Cabinet papers — reasons) the Community Commission will be dismissed as uninformed and proletarian drivel by main stream media (aka #Murdocracy, #StokesMedia, etc.) and decision-makers alike.

Still, stoking the fires of community angst against #secrecy and #politicalObfuscation is not a bad thing at all. #AUKUS ought to be part of the #PublicDebate and the powers that be ought to be held #Accountable for their decisions. Public horse trading for decent social services and the welfare of our environment is worth every battle we enjoin.
