The Israel story doesn’t allege any Labor wrongdoing other than the Elbit/Hanwha deal. There was a non-response from the Department of Defense but I wouldn’t expect them to respond. The Elbit/Hanwha deal is a bit of a misnomer, because it was a deal with Hanwha that Elbit was subcontracted in. The decision to employ Elbit was that of Hanwha, while they didn’t actively push against it they also didn’t initiate it. This is all me just skimming so take what I say with a grain of salt.

You gotta remember that America owns us, and Israel owns America. Actively (rather than passively) boycotting Israeli arms manufacturers would likely put our system at risk without materially affecting Israel’s ability to shoot fish in a barrel.

The fossil fuel approvals, I can’t find a credible source debunking those claims and can’t be bothered looking into the details. I need to know why Labor would approve new fossil fuel projects because I don’t buy the narrative that they’re evil and/or corrupt. Until I know the reason I can’t consider the story credible.

The salmon farming thing was obviously an election promise to get Tasmanian seats. It ultimately proved unnecessary because Dutton fumbled the campaign so catastrophically but if he goes back on his word that’d hurt future elections.
