Happy to point out that @albomp.bsky.social deciding to release the highly contentious special envoy's report - a report he has known about for many months - just before he departs for a large, publicity sucking tour of China, is in fact, not a coincidence.

And the US just bombed Iran at the behest of Israel, which has been claiming its at immediate risk of a nuclear strike for 30 years and we’ll all be told Israel has a right to defend itself, but anything Iran does is an act of war and in another 30 years we’ll be told there was no need for any of it

Has #Qantas explained or been asked to explain why it's not giving Australians spitefully deported from the US their documents & phone as soon as they're over international waters (or before)? Otherwise it's just doing Trump favours.

The worst part about University Ranking Season is the desperate attempts from unviersity social media teams to seem cool.

I don't think Americans realise just how passionately Australia's big commercial media stations love the cops and authoritarian crackdowns.

They are passive-voicing a US police officer targeting and shooting one of their OWN JOURNALISTS

With all of Greta’s privilege, she stands for what’s right every time. Every time she’s asked about herself she answers by redirecting straight to the people she’s standing up for. ‘How are you?’ ‘Better than the people in Palestine, specifically Gaza.’

Albo on the emerging disaster in NSW: “Tragically, we’re seeing more extreme weather events. They’re occurring more frequently, and they’re more intense” (quoted in the grauniad today).

Also the Labor govt: on the verge of approcing Woodside's north west shelf expansion.

A surprising discovery was made by CSIRO botanists which revealed the daisy fleabane (thought to be a rare Australian species) is an introduced plant! Molecular data suggests it likely hails from the Northern hemisphere as it is not distinctly different from the widespread bitter fleabane.
