Eddy Jokovich<p>Didn’t think it could be possible but Dutton’s campaign week was worse than the week before. And a miserable Easter message to end the worst week ever.

John Quiggin<p>Fortunately, this is highly unlikely. But our ties with the US make us less safe, not more. We should be supporting our neighbours against aggressive US policy, not trying to cut a separate deal based on our historical alliance <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a></p>
John Quiggin<p>Question raised by Russian military links w Indonesia: if Indonesia attacked us, w Russian backing, where would US stand? My judgement, with probability<br>1, Aside, with nice words for the Russians 60%<br>2. Actively aiding the enemies against us 30 %<br>3. Helping us 9%<br>4. Fighting on our side 1% <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a></p>
