  • In short: Australia's Defence department has refused to publicly release a copy of the deal struck with Israel on defence industry cooperation because it "could harm Australia's international standing and reputation".
  • The Israeli government was also consulted about whether to release the document, the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) has revealed.
  • What's next? Greens senator David Shoebridge has argued the Australian public has a right to know about Australia's military trade relationship with Israel.

could harm Australia’s international standing and reputation

By saying that they are insinuating that something bad is going on. I thought we were a democracy. Fucking sick of this shit. I wish we actually lived in a democracy so, ya know, we can do something about it. Because I don't remember voting on that

Yes sir daddy America where do you want our military budget?
