Meanwhile, Yanis Varoufakis, known for his stand against austerity measures during Greece\u2019s financial crisis, continues to challenge the neoliberal orthodoxy, offering invaluable insights into leveraging economic policies for community enhancement amid global transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also have a critical look at Australia\u2019s foreign policy stance, especially concerning the escalating situation in Gaza. Varoufakis\u2019 commentary on Australia\u2019s need for an independent foreign affairs outlook and its response to the Israeli\u2013Palestinian conflict invites a re-evaluation of our national and global roles and responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, the potential unraveling of the AUKUS deal, marked by the United States scaled-back submarine commitments, brings to light the complexities of international defence agreements and their implications for Australian security and diplomacy. Is it time to cancel AUKUS? We examine the broader geopolitical and internal political factors at play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, we address the pressing issue of aged care reform in Australia, following the Aged Care Taskforce report. The discussion revolves around the proposed changes, the financial sustainability of aged care, and the government\u2019s reluctance to adopt recommended funding mechanisms (just don\u2019t mention the word \u201ctax\u201d) highlighting the critical choices facing policymakers in ensuring quality care for the aging population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Song listing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>\u2018Confessions Of A Window Cleaner\u2019, Ed Kuepper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018State Of The Art\u2019, Jim James.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018She\u2019s My Lover\u2019, Kid Loco.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2018Praise You\u2019, Fat Boy Slim.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" id=\"block-3bc44166-3e34-4b1e-bb82-2844b2f93588\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"music-interludes\">Music interludes:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZhfJ75PSKOo?si=yuaVzc6Kvc4nU3oC\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mUYf2yu78Ts?si=1dpTCu2KdSPMltBd\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dBKDQINkIbU?si=fnwAQJFUmGlz-mv6&amp;controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BVOVMhQcwWQ?si=oNxNRXNzFoF8dzXS&amp;controls=0\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-e7c63c06-127e-425e-aaad-51ca8736627b\">Support independent journalism<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/newpolitics.com.au\/donate\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=800%2C200&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=300%2C75&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newpolitics.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Support-wp-advert.jpg?resize=768%2C192&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We don\u2019t plead, beseech, beg, guilt-trip, or gaslight you and claim the end of the world of journalism is coming soon.
