US base with marsupials - indeed. What a disgraceful state of affairs. Commerce, cynicism, servility and dishonour - and we're paying for the debasement into the remaining years of the limited future. There will be nothing tangible beyond personal/party kickbacks despite the drumbeating - events are moving too quickly, including in the Antarctic for those paying attention. Next, digital ID and suppression of online dissent. The blatant lies about Assange should be repudiated by any Australian government but as you say, we only have management now, contracted to the US. Vale Australia - a third rate settler colony.

A tragic situation. Neither countries actions are moral, both lack integrity! Woe to the truth!.I continue to object to unconscionable, unconstitutional acts by the US Government.

I have so much rage for the US treatment, and common wealth support, of Assange’s situation. Which really means I am so sad at the current state of corruption in all of our countries. Im Canadian. Trudea is a WEF tyrant, and Canada is probably only trailing the UK and Australia for the world champions in being the US’s bitch. All that being said, Thank you Caitlin and Tim for never ceasing to keep this issue front and center. I will never stop talking about it, shaming those responsible at every opportunity, and to be quite honest, I intend to ramp up how i fight, in whatever way I can that is helpful. I don’t know what to do. My country also feels like what I imagine inter-war, like minded, Weimar Germans were going through in the 30’s. This is getting really scary. Advice please anyone

Kinda weird to wage war against your number 1 trading partner. Let's see how that turns out.

Australia is nought but a Satrapy of Empire, a resource basket and forward base. The Australian PEOPLE have no Rights.

"... which has highlighted a troubling lack of ammunition stocks in Western nations including the US.”

It is the steady drum beat of these kinds of stunning lies that azewholes like whatever this azewhole "journalists" name that has made most folks of western "nations" of genocide, war crimes, ... such brainwashed dolts. Ms Johnstone has reference this many times but it can't be said enough because how else is there to wash away the RELENTLESS usa/western lies/propaganda but relentlessly telling the truth.

Marsupial fartcatching coup by Oz! Weapons manufacture. What a dream. Just like the big boys. And they’ll be exported to other places too? Praise the Lord. Oh I miss Dame Edna. She’d know how to celebrate.

It’s horrific how many countries are controlled by the US military. Not to mention the fact that all of the torture countries were trained at the School of the Americas which is now called Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation (WHINSEC) and funded by our military. There are over 30 countries around the world trained on torture by the US military. The US military has spent BILLIONS and BILLIONS of dollars funding torture countries.

Here’s the choice. Build some missiles and be quiet OR just be quiet.

"Assange endangered lives" ??? That's really rich coming from Blinken: he is American isn't he? Is it possible he doesn't know his country's record on "endangering lives"? Well. actually, mass killing. Blinken is a night crawler, a creep, and I hope the Australian people gave him the response he deserves - a boot in the ass.

And there's not a damn thing anybody can do to change this. The human race at its finest.

You know it's a sad day in hell when you just don't have enough weapons or ammunition to make war! The obvious horrible reality of these warmongering cuck fucks is THEY AREN'T GOING TO QUIT! Instead of the "long range" plan to be PEACE! These filthy warmongers continue to plan for war! We can't get these sorry excuses for human feces put out of any type of authority soon enough!

Build our missiles or we’ll impose sanctions on you. Grovel now or else.

I hope that Australia reaps the same benefits of being a U.S. puppet that Europe has. The faster the West disintegrates, the better it will be for the CIVILIZED world!

Depressing, CJ. Thanks for sharing and helping to expose the criminality of our failing empire. It is very sad to see Australia willingly join the stable of war whores controlled by DC and London.
