If it is a Judge of Fact call there may be no right of appeal (I'd have to check series regs for certain).

Opinion | If a humanitarian like Trump doesn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize, who does? | Opinion — USA TODAY

I'll always remember where I was on Oct. 10, 2025, the day Donald J. Trump was viciously denied the Nobel Peace Prize.

It's a fair assessment. Porsche racing is almost as bad really - just bigger budgets.

At a time when the value of research is being questioned, Richard Robson’s story is a powerful reminder of how scientific research leads to real-world impact. #auspol #NobelPrize

An Australian chemist just won the Nobel Prize. Here’s how his work is changing the world

The 2025 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded for the development of metal-organic frameworks: molecular structures that have large spaces within them, capable of capturing and storing gases and other chemicals.

This little historical villages are important but without a sustainable population they die. Sensible and moderate development is important.

There is one word missing in this report - pedophile. Say child sexual abuse does not hold the same power. Women can be pedophiles - no wimpy excuses about a bad marriage or PND. Sexual abuse or a child makes you a pedophile - the coercion to lie aggravates the offending.

Until they are jailed - nothing will change. Until Trump is curtailed - nothing will change. Unfortunately I suspect things are going to get much worse in the USA before they get better.

I will say again, are the owners of AI b/s prepared to make all their software open source? If not why not? What is the difference to them demanding unfettered free access to the IP of artists?

300 events, so each group at a match will count as an event, maybe each training session? No question that hospitality facilities will host events but are they new or just taking them from other existing venues?

One thing I love about Bluesky is the various right wing media outlets & their hacks aren't dominating the trends each day. Those hacks are skilled in enraging & engaging you to respond to their rubbish so their names trend, not the topic.

Ms. Salt makes some good points here, eloquently:

You would think super deal maker Trump (sarcasm) would appreciate that Australia is getting the best deal. That is admirable. Profits are now obscene not reasonable. Sky high pay to execs should be stopped.

Heed lessons of history when dealing with Trump

www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2025...
We are fortunate to still have some journalists in Aus prepared to analyse rather than repeat media releases. Thank you @amyremeikis.bsky.social

Australia must heed the lessons of history when it comes to Trump

Trump is only nine months into his second term and is not wasting any time. By pretending it can move forward with the US, Australia is.

#auspol, hope Bug1 is correct.

Note to O/S readers, Australia's "Liberal" Party is the CONSERVATIVE party here, e.g. our version of the GOP.

bug1 @bug1.bsky.social · 16d

Libs have been chasing hard right vote for two decades, following Hansen.

Conservatives control the "Liberals", moderates are pushed out, but it hasn't work electorally. Voters choose independents.

Voters know media spin here.

Chasing extremists has put the Liberal party in a doom loop.
