If the Coalition do build a nuclear power plant, Australian taxpayers will be the proud owners of an unprofitable, uncompetitive, expensive and unsellable liability. #auspol #nuclear https://t.co/g839eGbh3C

Perhaps the most glaring absence in this campaign will be the Australian War Memorial and its continuing refusal to properly recognise and commemorate the Australian (Frontier) Wars. #auspol https://t.co/qPM0gf0TL2

We have a tradition of interaction with our neighbours over many decades and a great network of professional colleagues and partners who will support a greater commitment to partnership. #auspol https://t.co/NiCZRWP8mC

There’s no quick and easy solution to our housing affordability crisis. Labor does get the need to free up the supply of homes. Unfortunately, that message is yet to get through to the Coalition. #auspol https://t.co/62r8bah8Ce

Looking ahead to Anzac Day at the end of this short week, Douglas Newton will bring us voices of the veterans of that war, 110 years after the Gallipoli landings, writes Catriona Jackson @CatrionaJacko1 #auspol https://t.co/nyCrpUk5XK

The Labor Government's decision to set up the Australian Tertiary Education Commission indicates a possible return to a more open and responsible approach #auspol #education https://t.co/haFwJFoDSG

Xi’s handling of the trade war with the US is a reaffirmation of China’s ability to navigate great-power competition without compromising its principles. #auspol #USpol https://t.co/25Gyhxzmxr

Thanks to Trump, the US budget deficit will get worse, and the trade deficit will be even bigger, while inflation will accelerate. The worst possible outcome. #auspol #USpolitics https://t.co/T8qGAHPEoC

Through profundity of the story of the resurrection, Jesus demonstrated that death was not by “nothingness”, nor by “his people” rising up in vengeance but by a recommitment to life itself. @stephaniedowric #auspol #easter https://t.co/koflzD7UXg

Australia has a strong chance of hosting the 2026 UN climate conference. Labor wants it, but the Coalition doesn’t. #COP31 is an opportunity for Australia to demonstrate positive leadership. #auspol https://t.co/nuDXi2vjUt

Some public policy issues require a resolve beyond the electoral cycle - a moral heft that compels persistence. All have an obligation to seek justice, for refugees especially. East shows us how. #auspol https://t.co/56rDJ9vl7e

The challenge remains for our political system to demonstrate that politics should matter to the majority of Australians who can still determine what sort of country we want to be. #auspol https://t.co/opmcFB79n0

The genocide in Gaza is the greatest crime of this century. It will come back to haunt Israel. It will come back to haunt us. We have sown a minefield of hatred and violence. #auspol #gaza @ChrisLynnHedges https://t.co/YXFdW7eMpB

Australians must act to stop this replication of America’s Christian extremist takeover. The Coalition has gifted us the opportunity to bring it out of the shadows. @LucyHam #auspol https://t.co/XUlmpNMhNL

The current American posture as imperial is to give it too much credit. This is no Rome. There are no great roads being built, no languages being spread, no philosophy being offered. A vain projectless Empire. @spacekari #auspol https://t.co/h9GKCz5W6R

It’s tempting to focus on personalities or policies and besmirch China and socialism. But we all sense the tectonic plates grinding below. The era of strategic confrontation has begun. #auspol https://t.co/5CA53Vf0CY

Abandoning climate change, attacking Sustainable Development Goals, imposing unilateral tariffs in contravention of core WTO rules - the USA's “morbid symptoms” of a dying old order. #auspol https://t.co/bkcW7SBuio
