The Zionist lobby and Labor in Australia

The Israel lobby and Labor in Australia Australia's new Prime Minister opposes BDS and rejects the apartheid label for Israel, but the Israel lobby is still moving right to accommodate the Australian rightwing and nationalists in Israel. BY BOB CARR LABORITE ANTHONY “ALBO” ALBANESE, AFTER HIS MAY 21 ELECTION AS AUSTRALIA’S NEXT PRIME MINISTER, FROM HIS FACEBOOK PAGE MAY 25. In 2021, Australian journalist John Lyons published “Dateline Jerusalem: Journalism’s Toughest Assignment.” It examined the pro-Israel lobby in Australia which I have described as the most powerful foreign influence operation in our country. Lyons quoted Chris Mitchell, the long time editor of The Australian, saying that the Israel lobby became more right-wing after the 2003 American invasion of Iraq. ...

Australia’s Future Fund bans investment in ‘Israeli’ defence contractor over cluster munitions allegations

Norway’s largest pension fund KLP also excludes Israeli defence contractor, Elbit, from its portfolio. Ben Butler and Ben Doherty The Israeli defence contractor Elbit Systems has denied producing cluster munitions after two big investment funds banned investment in the company, saying it was involved with the weapons. Cluster munitions are outlawed under Australian law and an international treaty because of their devastating effect on civilians. Both Australia’s sovereign wealth fund, the $200bn Future Fund, and Norway’s largest pension fund, the $136bn KLP, have banned investment in Elbit over its alleged association with certain weapons. Cluster munitions, which were allegedly used by Russian forces during the invasion of Ukraine, are bombs that contain smal...

New law allows for warrantless spying on Australians – where next?

By Kit Klarenberg | RT The Australian Signals Directorate, Canberra’s equivalent of Britain’s GCHQ or the US National Security Agency, will be granted sweeping new powers to spy on Australians for the first time since its November 1947 founding. The move allows the agency to collect signals intelligence on individuals within the country without a warrant, although allegedly only in situations where there is an “imminent risk to life.” Domestic terror suspects are cited as a key target in the Directorate’s crosshairs, and it will also collect intelligence in conjunction with the Australian Defence Force for military operations, with ministerial authorization. Rules governing the reform and protecting citizens’ privacy will be published on the agency’s webs...

Australia Refuses to Reveal Additional Proof of Its Role in Chile’s CIA-Backed Coup

By Ramona Wadi | Strategic Culture Foundation The U.S. has declassified thousands of documents relating to its involvement in the ousting of Chile’s socialist President Salvador Allende and the installing of dictator Augusto Pinochet. Australia, on the other hand, continues to guard its classified documents on the pretext of security, drawing a discrepancy between its purported democratic principles and obstructing the public’s right to knowledge. As a country which welcomed Chileans fleeing the horrors of Pinochet’s brutal dictatorship, as well as harbouring Chilean agents – the most notable case being that of Adriana Rivas – Australia’s political and moral obligation should not be played down. This month, the Australian Administrative Appeals Tribunal ruled that releasing doc...

Australian War Propaganda Keeps Getting Crazier

By Caitlin Johnstone 60 Minutes Australia has churned out yet another fearmongering war propaganda piece on China, this one so ham-fisted in its call to beef up military spending that it goes so far as to run a brazen advertisement for an actual Australian weapons manufacturer disguised as news reporting. This round of psychological conformity-making features Australian former major general Jim “The Butcher of Fallujah” Molan saying that in three to ten years a war will be fought against China over Taiwan and that Australians are going to have to fight in that war to prevent a future Chinese invasion of the land down under. He argues Australia will need to greatly increase its military spending in order to accomplish this, because it can’t be certain the Uni...

Australia’s Intelligence Organizations Helped Overthrow the Allende Government in 1973

Recently declassified documents confirm what researchers have long claimed: that Australian intelligence worked with the CIA to instigate a coup in Chile during the Cold War. President Salvador Allende in Rancagua, Chile in 1971. (Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional Chile, Wikimedia Commons) On June 2, the Australian government conceded for the first time that the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS) supported CIA covert operations in Chile in the early 1970s. These operations created the climate for a coup against the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende and his Popular Unity government. The National Security Archive (NSA) recently published some of the ASIS’ station reports in Santiago, and the story has drawn attention in the Australian&...

Clear Away the Hype: The U.S. and Australia Signed a Nuclear Arms Deal, Simple as That

Independent Media Institute The U.S. Navy ballistic missile submarine USS George Washington (Image by U.S. Navy - U.S. Navy) On September 15, 2021, the heads of government of Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States announced the formation of AUKUS, “a new enhanced trilateral security partnership” between these three countries. Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison and Britain’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson joined U.S. President Joe Biden to “preserve security and stability in the Indo-Pacific,” as Johnson put it. By Vijay Prashad While China was not explicitly mentioned by these leaders at the AUKUS announcement, it is generally assumed that countering China is the unstated motivation for the new partnership. “The future of the Indo-Pacific,...

Four-year investigation reveals the true depravity of imperialist occupation forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Proletarian writers Truly to dehumanise others, one must first dehumanise oneself. Investigators report that the torture and murder of civilians is routinely carried out by Australian soldiers as a ‘rite of passage’ to ‘blood’ junior recruits. https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/939336490&color=%23ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true In 2016 the Australian military took the step of asking sociologist Dr Samantha Crompvoets to research the animosity that existed between Australia’s two elite special forces units, the SAS and the commandos.
