Australia’s new Defence Delivery Agency may finally expose an uncomfortable truth: Australia already has formidable deterrent capabilities through the Royal Australian Air Force & emerging drone systems, making the AUKUS submarine commitment both risky & unnecessary.

So many Australian journalists & news managers applauded Kerry O'Brien at the #Walkleys for standing up for Palestinian journalists.
But so many have totally ignored Palestinian journalists.

The Palestinian Journalists Syndicate documented 57 violations by Israeli forces against journalists in the West Bank and Gaza in November — including detentions, assaults, threats at gunpoint, destruction of equipment, and blocking coverage. A systematic escalation on press freedom.

Modern humans arrived in Australia 60,000 years ago and may have interbred with archaic humans such as 'hobbits'
New genetic research shows that DNA and archaeological evidence align with the "long chronology" of the peopling of Australia.

An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Another way of looking at this is if each of the US’s 19,000 cities, towns & villages had their own solar thermal plant, THE MEAN AVERAGE would be 2sq km or .77sq miles.
Less than a square mile doesn’t seem so bad, does it.
Less than a square mile doesn’t seem so bad, does it.
One ~182km x ~211km solar thermal plant could provide all of America’s electricity, including a fully-electrified land transport sector.
100% clean power from just 0.39% of U.S land.
That’s why renewables are constantly under attack from the fossil fuel industry and their paid mouthpieces.
