This is truly shocking. It reflects poorly on the Australian Government, the Australian Defense Force, and even the Kiwis, who seem to have been more aware of what was happening off our continent than we were.
You have to give credit to the Virgin Airlines pilot and Air Services Australia, who knew more about the activities of the Chinese navy than our own government or officials did.
What a diplomatic mess this is.

The upcoming Federal Election is going to be a contest of which party will send Australia backwards the quickest.
In a two-party system, we have an option between the Labor Party green-left bloc, which continues to send Australia backwards; and the Liberal Party Coalition, which is strangely obsessing with the non-existent problem of people working from home.
Rather than offering Australians an alternative government that could progress Australia forward by improving productivity via deregulation, reducing government bureaucracy and costs, and enhancing national security, they have chosen this peculiar focus.

This is so beyond comprehension that it’s difficult to find the words.
The Australian Government has effectively banned political representatives and bureaucrats from using government devices on TikTok due to security concerns tied to China.
Yet, the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has just joined the platform, defying the government’s own directive.
Reportedly, it has not yet been able to justify its actions.

These monstrosities are being approved for construction without proper consideration of environmental destruction and the habitats of koalas and other wildlife.
One project alone has been approved to destroy 44 hectares (ha) of koala habitat.
This isn’t just senseless—it’s an ecological tragedy unfolding before our eyes.
These koalas are losing their homes, their survival threatened by greed and negligence.
To destroy 44 hectares of their habitat is more than sad—it’s heartbreaking and unconscionable.

Australia must rule out the idea of sending troops to Ukraine.
National sovereignty and security should remain Australia’s top priority.
The conflict in Europe is the responsibility of European nations to resolve, and deploying Australian forces would not align with Australia’s strategic interests.

Another report has been released that justifiably criticizes Australia's response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the vaccine mandates.
The latest report comes from the Australian Human Rights Commission.
While their critique is justified, the commission was oddly silent throughout the pandemic, allowing unethical responses and human rights violations to continue unchallenged.
Why did they choose to remain silent during such a critical time?

What is it going to take for Australians to understand and accept just how broken the two-party system is?
It has failed.
I remain totally perplexed that even prominent political journalists and commentators are surprised we're facing another federal election, which will further embed the green-left bloc into the very structures of the Australian Parliament.
I told everyone this was happening in 2022, after the previous federal election.
Where does the Liberal Party fit into this new bloc, and where will it have an impact?
The simple answer is it doesn't fit in anywhere.
The green-left has become symbolic of a terminal political cancer, which will prove almost impossible to reverse and return to the status quo of a traditional two-party system.
The Liberal Party can blame nobody but themselves.
They have continued to treat voters and their supporters with outright contempt and failed to provide an alternate policy platform.
I've always been a supporter of nuclear energy.
But let's be real: Australia is too backward-thinking and too comfortable with remaining reformless in almost every aspect of modern life.
Nuclear energy is a great proposal, but it's never going to happen in Australia.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has failed to execute any political argument in favor of nuclear energy and seems to have abandoned his own nuclear policy almost as quickly as it was announced.
If you blinked, you'd have missed it.

It doesn't matter what the Australian Government did; it was never going to get an exemption on tariffs.

The only reason this upsets Australia is that it has now become indisputably clear that Australia's sovereignty is under immediate threat, as the US, under the Trump Administration, is quickly abandoning globalism in both trade and defense.

I've continued to say we need a Royal Commission of Inquiry into the pandemic response.
Politicians, bureaucrats, and MSM need to be held accountable for the fear porn and panic they disseminated, which was never supported by facts or empirical evidence.
In fact, it ran completely contrary to what the pandemic response plans had recommended.
It's not just the politicians, bureaucrats, and media who need to be held accountable and incarcerated; the majority of the population must also be called out for their hypocrisy in sitting back and allowing it to happen, along with allowing the forced inoculation of dangerous, rushed, untested, and unproven vaccinations to be deployed.
