In short:
Hundreds of previously secret cabinet records from 2004 have been made public in the National Archives’ annual release.
The papers largely focus on Australia’s ongoing role in the Iraq War as well as other geopolitical events and the broader economy.
What’s next?
They keep hidden much detail on deliberations over the maritime border with Timor-Leste, which later became the subject of spying allegations.
I’ve prepared some responses to help you select the outrage that best fits you:
a) The slimy bastards!
b) I knew it! They knew ALL ABOUT IT!
c) 20 years later, and they’ve still done nothing!
d) Pffffffft! Of course they’d never do anything about that!
e) I didn’t see one mention of Murdoch!
f) But Labor is the same!
g) What ever happened to that $1.5 billion?
h) Yeah, we all know why that’s still censored.
Thread complete.
Thanks! Can I get one with the lot, please?
cackling like a swamp hag over here.
