[edited for typos - there’s always some]
Look, I’m an avid reader of #AmyRemeikis columns and I share most of her political views. Her reporting, opinion pieces and books are packed full of facts and level-headed analysis. But in this article, I have to strongly disagree with her (in part). Her view that #Australian #Sovereignty is imperiled by the #AUKUS Agreement(s) — towit: Tiers One and Two — is quite factually over the top (and I’m refraining from using the term hysterical out of respect). History simply does not bear her opinion out. Not in the case of the #UK since 1962. Not #Japan since the 50s. And not #NATO countries since the start of the Cold War. Nor anywhere else where the #US has shared its military technology in exchange for long term basing facilities (of whatever form and size). The #Philippines even kicked them out, though they’ve let the US back in since (I guess they saw the light and #China helped them with that).
As for suggesting that the #RAN might be unable to control #Australian owned #Virigina boats due to, I presume, the fake-news that some ‘US cut-off switch’ exists, is absolute bullocks. Virginia boats have dual US-UK nationality (in terms of its engineering and component parts), if there was such a switch we would know about it from the UK. To boot, the personal relationship which forged and currently maintain #UKUSA are too strategically important to all participants for any such ‘switch’, though cooling-off periods and niggly spats have occurred since 1942 - all resolved with the strength of many high-level relationships and 5-Eyes strategic imperatives.

Anthony R. Wells’s Between Five Eyes, Big Sky Publishing, 2021No, #Marles didn’t say as much (see article). The MInister is reveling in playing the press — and the Australian public — because he *knows* and we don’t. That’s his job in this #secrecy obsessed #Labor govt. Make what you will of his words, just don’t extrapolate by pretending you know what he means by them.

Was Rabbi Eli Schlanger one the apocalyptic oddballs trying to build the Third Temple?
Rabbi Elboim eulogized Rabbi Schlanger: "The heart mourns the murder of the martyrs in the terrible terror attack. I had the privilege to host the martyr Rabbi Eliyahu Schlanger on the roof of the #Machkameh synagogue with a delegation of #Australian #Chabad rabbis… "The rabbi studied the issue of ascending the #TempleMount and the law of building the Temple in our days in depth, and his face beamed when he saw the place of the Temple. We all pray that these will be the final sacrifices and we will be comforted by the construction of the Temple."

Philippines 2026 Foreign Tourist Arrivals Reach 4.11 Million as of August, U.S. and South Korea Remain Top Markets
With the Peso performing terribly in the global currency market, weakening economic growth, high inflation and fears of an economic recession growing, 2026 has not been good for the Philippines. There is a bright spot in tourism, however, as the Philippines saw its 2026 foreign tourist arrivals reach 4.11 million in the January-August period and the United States and South Korea combined for more than 1.5 million tourist arrivals, according to a news article by the Philippine News Agency (PNA).
To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the news report of BusinessWorld. Some parts in boldface…
The Philippines has recorded 4.11 million foreign arrivals from January to August, higher by 3.7 percent compared to the same period last year, the Department of Tourism (DOT) said on Tuesday.
The United States posted the highest number of share at 818,318, followed by South Korea at 727,379, Japan at 350,191, China at 310,088, and Australia at 234,156.
Also making it in the top 10 source markets are Canada with 231,972, Taiwan with 154,957, the United Kingdom with 132,370, Singapore with 126,812, and India with 77,883.
Tourism Secretary Dita Angara-Mathay said the Philippines targets to surpass its 2025 arrival figures to reach between 6.4 million and 6.8 million, or at least 7 million, by the end of 2026.
To achieve this, she said the DOT is intensifying its branding and promotions to reach more tourists in its key source markets.
The DOT is also in active talks with airlines to open up and establish more chartered flights between the Philippines and secondary cities of Korea and China.
DOT Assistant Secretary Ren Sapitan said the agency is also set to sign a contract with a creative agency in November to broaden the country’s marketing efforts and make the Philippines more visible worldwide.
Let me end this post by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this recent development? Do you think the Philippines will be able to exceed the 2025 foreign tourist arrivals number by the end of this year? Do you think the DOT is doing a good job to strengthen the Philippines’ attraction of foreign tourists? Considering the Top 10 markets of foreign tourists the Philippines attracted so far, are you convinced that the nation’s hosting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit did not create any positive tourism results?

These incidents are becoming so common that the #Australian 🇦🇺 #SpaceAgency has put together a trio of steps to take if suspected space debris is discovered.
"Very often they will be made of something like titanium which is really good at surviving. Just don't let them randomly reenter. Bring them down via controlled reentry and then if they are survivable it doesn't matter because you dump them somewhere where there aren't any people" 🤕 https://www.space.com/space-exploration/launches-spacecraft/metal-spheres-found-in-australia-show-how-little-we-still-know-about-falling-space-debris-experts-say

As an #Australian it's going to be interesting when/if Australia is going to decouple from #5eyes...
How long can Australian Government pretend everything is fine when it's major ally has gone full authoritarian fascism?

An excellent read by Amy Remeikis on the #Australian Government losing international standing by not recognising #Palestine when others are doing so and waiting too late to make any difference.
——-
Quote:Australia has muscled its way into conversations, meetings and pacts to be a player in a bigger picture. Making itself a player in a global shift, involving key allies, makes Australia seem bigger than it is. Holding back until it is inevitable is what makes us a minor player.
——-Once again, the #Albo Government is doing the least it can do.

🇦🇺 The news will put pressure on the #Australian #SpaceAgency to grant it the crucial permit it had been hoping to receive six months ago ⌛.
Founder Adam Gilmour has been hugely critical of the Space Agency’s handling of the situation, arguing the pushback was “more them than us” and even suggesting that officials were concerned that its #Eris launch vehicle could hit a passing ship 🚢 https://www.spaceconnectonline.com.au/launch/6340-gilmour-ready-for-launch-despite-permit-delay -

8/ Despite my disgust for her politics, I stand with #AnnaPaulinaLuna against the #misogyny waged against her for daring to beat her male opponent for a seat in #Congress. There is no excuse for calling a woman a #witch (unless that is her self-empowering self-identification), as #Australian Prime Minister #JuliaGillard schooled opposition leader #TonyAbbott in her world-viral misogyny speech in 2012.
