  1. If I haven’t made it plain before, I have certainly left enough clues in the past as to what ought to be discussed about #AUKUS and what ought best be left for those with the appropriate expertise to deliberate and inform.

    Clearly, the main public gripe about #ScottyFromMarketing ‘s big dirty deal concerns costs. Any discussion of our reliance on the #US #Alliance (a secondary gripe) needs not be conducted solely from the AUKUS perspective because it is not the wherewithal of that alliance.

    But to be more specific, AUKUS must be evaluated from the perspective of stated core requirements addressing the latest Strategic Review and the military tasks/missions which fall out of it.

    If the public needs/wishes to debate our defence spending and access to classified documents on the matter is not possible, it must fall back to critique the strategic review itself, the steering document for every Defence acquisition. Everything about defence emanates from that document.

    Ergo, IMO, the current community enquiry is wasting its time if it reviews anything else but the source of all defence requirements as it lacks expertise (and time) to deal with the work that eventually lead to submarine warfare scenarios and the evalluation of platform Vs requirements before any discussion can focus on the AUKUS deal. Focusing on AUKUS is like talking about the water coming out of the tap as the source of all its contaminents.

    And this is why, having tuned to the enquiry just now, I quickly stopped watching it. What is it really trying to achieve? I found it a useless waste of time…and a political stunt at best. It will not inform the public. It will sow confusion as petty interests are platformed. It will generalise a mountain of processes and deduce nothing useful from it. It will further divide public opinion on AUKUS, claim success on the back of emotive reactions to biased platforming and stoke further clueless Column inches.

    I sincerely hope that I am wrong about this, truly, I am. But the odds are stacked up against it.

    Think about it… #Marles is fully briefed on AUKUS, but what we publically hear from the Minister is spin, platitudes, obfuscation and misdirection when he tells us anything about the SSN deal. He is not a complete idiot. He does this for a reason. Ask yourself then, what is the reason(s) which compel a sitting Minister to gamble his political career on remaing tight lipped about that particular defence acquisition?

  6. "#Antisemitism in #Australia was left unchecked and became normalized after the outbreak of the war against #Hamas in #Gaza in October 2023, fueling violence against #Jewish people, the country’s #nationalsecurity and #intelligence chief said on ‌Monday.

    The frank remarks were made during a #publicinquiry into last December’s #BondiBeach #massshooting in #Sydney, the worst #terrorist attack in Australian history.

    “There is no doubt that the war in the #MiddleEast invoked a range of emotions in Australia,” said #MikeBurgess, director-general of the #AustralianSecurityIntelligenceOrganization. “Some of those violent aspects ... and those behaviors, including antisemitism that, in our view, were left unchecked, were therefore normalized and gave more permission for violence ..., and Jewish #Australians were on the receiving end.”

  11. "Speaking in An Seanad, Senator Lisa Chambers: "[sedatives] are at times used to maybe ease the burden [of] staff shortages and make it easier to care for somebody. I have direct experience of a couple of cases."

    Many families express similar concerns.
