AF Indra Banner Defensa 728x90pxWe start with breaking news of a Defence restructure – though it’s too early to tell if it will make a difference. Then – despite the best efforts of many – the government is refusing to close a loophole allowing Russian oil to be sold in Australia, though it is possible that a new aid package is being developed. It can’t come fast enough with the US continuing to side with Russia in a plan that would end Ukraine’s independence – and we go into the main motivation: greed and the chance for the Trump family and their friends to make untold billions from the situation. Finally some words about why the US is moving towards military action against Venezuela – and that’s more greed at work. Australia’s politicians have to realise that the US will no longer help Australia unless there’s something in it for them.
