Peter Dutton’s New Clear Vision… Oh, Sorry, Nuclear Fission!

5 January 2025 AIMN Editorial 1

What I wished I’d known at 45

4 January 2025 Bert Hetebry 4

It was a question, asking for advice, I think. I’m old, much older than 45, so the question may well have been asking for guidance or advice. Can you tell me one thing you know […]

Frail Egos and Sandpit Colonialism: Australia, the United States and Invading Iraq

4 January 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 9

Democracy: Party or Independents?

3 January 2025 Bert Hetebry 12

The rise of independent members of parliament and the interest in having more raises intriguing questions. I like the idea of independent representatives as law makers but it does throw up challenges when forming government […]

Postcards from the Post-election American Apocalypse

3 January 2025 Dr James Moylan 3

Drones Drones are the flavor of the month. Every US media outlet is currently obsessed with drones whizzing through the urban nightscape. As thick as houseflies, journalists gather in giddy packs around selected NooJoysee citizens. […]

When You Can’t Say “Merry Christmas”!

3 January 2025 Rossleigh 6

Ignoring a Leopard’s Spots: The UK, Syria and Courting Dictators

3 January 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 5

Moral evangelists in power preaching about democracy and human rights resemble dowdy advocates of family values. When given a chance, they will wander, leaving their principles aside like unwanted impediments. This was certainly the case […]

The ugly side of politics

3 January 2025 AIMN Editorial 1

Though our original site will still be up for another couple of years, it is a horrid thought knowing that it will eventually be gone, and with it, thousands of articles that are a record […]

Is it realistic for Donald Trump to boast of a quick peace deal for Ukraine?

2 January 2025 Noel Wauchope 16

Donald Trump has made so many promises on what he will quickly achieve once he takes office as President. The one about ending the Ukraine war in 24 hours probably gained him support from quite […]

Dutton’s Double Standard

2 January 2025 2353NM 11

During the end of year ‘silly season’ the Victorian Branch of the ALP put up a post on FaceBook that apparently targeted Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s wife. The cries of outrage from the News Corp […]

Far From Ignorant: The European Union, Arms Exports and Israel

2 January 2025 Dr Binoy Kampmark 4

While international law can, at times, seem an ephemeral creature, vulnerable to manipulation, neglect and outright dismissal, its strictures can surprise. The evolving body of law stripping back the immunity of heads of state for […]

The Atlas Network and the threat of nuclear war

2 January 2025 Lucy Hamilton 7

The Atlas Network’s primary junktank is not content with promoting the potential collapse of “civilisation” through climate change. It has long been pivotal in constructing the kind of society that is now making memes celebrating […]
