This looks like the best explanation for Labor's abandonment of the ICC.

What a deal. We not only sell out international law and endorse genocide but we get to pay $798 million into the bargain.

Especially sad because other countries have shown that you can tell Trump to fuck off and he'll turn tail. And declare victory at home because he's Like That, but he turns tail.

Our choice: the party that won’t stand up to Trump of the party that will stand with him. Still a difference. Small one.

I'd say cancel the submarine deal, up the rent at Pine Gap and contact the French about #submarines if we really need them.

One thing I never understood is why we had a deal originally for conventional diesel/electric submarines with a French company that designs exclusively nuclear submarines. It never made sense to me.
