Lately, I’ve been busy on something I’d been meaning to do for years: write the book on Pettit & Sevitt. It’s been positive, life-giving & fascinating: immersed in archives, talking with owners & iconic architects…it’s reminded me of the joy of writing again. #auspol

I don’t think Xi will be disappointed

There’s no shame in an error, it’s more the stereotyping that is not right. The US requested in 2011 that Qatar provide a base for the Hamas leadership to make it easier to connect. And Qatar with Israel and the US have been financial backers. It is a complex picture but Qatar is not an aggressor

Bajeezuz let’s hope he resigns from the said lobby group— how bizarre

Americans are on everyone else’s soil with their bases. That has been the case for decades

Trump never had a hinge. But also unfortunately Biden and the Dems allowed Netanyahu to get this far spending US money killing Gazans — more could have been done to end the conflict sooner on all fronts.

Very surprising. What was different when they started is their own MTV programming also made unique short content, interview clips etc in addition to rolling the music video. Not many really good music shows anymore. Rage is a bit dull.

Heartbreaking story. Science tells us a lot but not always the full picture when some science is as-yet undiscovered. How awful for the families wrongly convicted of shaking babies #auspol www.smh.com.au/interactive/...

Diagnosing murder

For decades, the diagnosis of shaken baby syndrome has been putting parents in jail all over the world. But some jurisdictions are beginning to ask: are heartbroken people being put in the dock for cr...

This story makes me feel sick for these people. I hope our Attorney General does something— casinos and betting agencies should not be able to keep the proceeds of crime, especially theft from innocent people

Couple lost $250k to gambling companies without placing a single bet

Nick and Aimee Mazza's hard-earned cash was gambled away by a man they thought was investing it. Bookmakers encouraged him to keep betting.

Absolutely horrible to treat anyone like that, a total violation of her rights and dignity

Peace plan.
My @smh cartoon.

Four frames. Breakfast table scene. Frame 1 Person 1 with newspaper. “So, Trump, Blai and Netanyahu have a peace plan for Gaza!” Person 2: “Wait - DONALD Trump? ‘Lies about everything’ Trump? ‘Riviera of the Middle East’ Trump?” Fr 2, person 1: “Yeah, well…” person 2: “and Blair - TONY Blair? ‘Weapons of Mass Destruction’ Blair? ‘10000 Iraqi civilians as collateral damage’ Blair?
Fr 3, person1, “Sure, but…” Person 2: “and Netanyahu? BIBI Netanyahu? ‘Propped up Hamas’ Netanyahu? ‘There will be no Palestinian State’ Netanyahu?” Frame 4: Person 1: “Yeah, so fingers crossed!” (Gestures same). Person 2: *eyeroll*.

Having worked journalism myself, you are correct!

Yeah but Americans only like to pull out the “you’re a communist” accusation when people want universal healthcare, free education, fair taxes for such things… and no guns.

I cannot actually believe the Sydney Morning Herald devoted not ONE but THREE articles to the Kidman Urban split…. And the third one, about their property portfolio. My god we are so Sydney #auspol
