1/12 Australia hasnt ratifd Interntnl Covnt on Civil & Political Rights OHCHR.Neither have #AUKUS partners.Article 20: Prohibits by law,any advocacy of national,racial,religious hatred that constitutes incitmnt to..hostility,violence(IE prohibitd to use propgnda to incite war)
2/12 Cld there be a more perfect Article? Isnt that a wonderful prohibition? Well,3 #AUKUS Nations haven’t ratified. #Murdoch & assoctd oligarchs want it that way. We’re owned by him & defence industries who profit enormously from WAR. That’s why we we’re partners! We’re ownd!
3/12 Together we were mobilisd into #Iraq & #Afghanistan. Now conservative think tanks,funded by #Murdoch & defence industry companies are banging the ‘drums of war’ vs #China! If it sounds like we’re spoiling for a fight, it’s because our Govt wants that!
4/12 #UK,other side of globe,in our backyard because same parties will benefit! Wouldn’t it have made more sense if #France with interests in the Pacific, had been our partner to find a diplomatic path forward? Instead Fr were excluded & backstabbd. They’re a non-Murdoch colony!
5/12 Instead Conservtve/Murdoch think tanks,(same ppl who promotd disastrous #Brexit for UK & invasn of #Iraq based on WMDs that did NOT exist) are willing us forward, into potential confrontation with #China! We dont want that.
6/12 We didn’t vote for #Murdoch’s #LNPcoffeeboys to sever our trade wrists & fight with #China. They were our biggest trade partner.They reciprocatd buying our goods & services. Due to THAT trade relationship,Aust dodged GFC bullet!
Consider,where is propaganda emanating?
7/12 Complicit is our #RWmedia & particularly #MurdochSewerageCo & their junk platforms across #AUKUS partners. Noone likes to admit they’re influencd by propognda but let’s call it. That is why #Twitter matters. An alternative to propoganda.@AlboMP & #ALP do not fall in blindly.
8/12 Stand back. Consider scenario: We’re exploitd & hoodwinkd. We’re not special to #USA. #Biden didn’t even know #CultistPM’s name, FFS! Aust is THEIR fig leaf. Geographically, we’re proximate to China & a hostile environment/threat can be manipulated to look plausible.
9/12 Call time on this @AlboMP & @AustralianLabor! You can be the moral Party. The Party of conscience. The Party that breaks cycle of war the feckless #LNP tethered us to.
F#$& Defence Industry shareholdrs.
We want peace & a prosperous,harmonious Indo-Pacific region.
10/12 The only way forward:We demand Parliamntry vote on any suggestn of torching a trade r/ship or becoming involved in a hostile act with ANY country.(We saw what happnd when #HOWARD dragged us into endless hostlities w/no strategy or even exit strategy.)
11/12 #Australia NotForSale @ScottMorrisonMP. We’ll decide which,if any,conflict we’ll be involvd in & nature of action taken. We dont want #USsubs & we dont want #Boris & #Biden calling terms.(They’re as much #MurdochsCoffeeBoy as u)
LNP will lose Govt.We’ll regain our dignity✊🏼
12/12 Re:Abbott’s visit to Taiwan,evidnce darkens.
He was emissary, not “private citizn.”
Once #MurdochUsefulIdiot,always one! Abbott frmr PM,went to #Taiwan to set out grievnces vs.China for propagnda.(Even echoed #Pezullo’s phrase”Drums of War!”That was sloppy of #IPA author!)
