Some fire stuff, some transport stuff, some climate stuff. Some other random science stuff. Probably too much of the one you’re not into.

The Union Jack can incite passions, especially in places like Northern Ireland.
But Mr Burton said flags could be "dangerous". "They incite passions, especially in places like Israel and Palestine, and [a similar] local instance can be attributed to the Eureka flag and the Eureka Stockade, which many say is a chequered story," he said.

Bracks was also Premier and Treasurer for a while at the turn of the century, before appointing Brumby as Treasurer.
Former West Australian premier Mark McGowan, former Tasmanian premier Peter Gutwein and former ACT chief minister Andrew Barr held both roles simultaneously while in office. In Victoria, John Cain Jr and Joan Kirner served as party leader and treasurer in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively.

Yeah. There was a big drop early in Covid (probably still showing in that last data point) when no-one was driving, but it has been climbing since. The proportional increase in pedestrian fatalities is scary (probably partly due to mobesity).

Except the planned replacement for the XPT currently lacks sleeping accommodation, destroying its potential to deliver you to your destination fresh from a night curled up in bed.

"The XPT (Express Passenger Train) services the regional NSW network, travelling as far as Brisbane and Melbourne. These are regular regional services but offer on-train sleeping accommodation."

This is a very dangerous time for the US. Hopefully, it can be drawn back from that precipice. What is needed now is for a president to show real leadership and quickly reduce the heat underneath a country fast approaching boiling point. Does Donald Trump have the inclination, or ability, to do that?

Cartoon of three men sitting around a table. A man with dark skin has nothing in front of him. A fairer skin man with hard hat and hi-viz vest has a plate with one cookie in front of him. The third man is wearing a suit and has a plate piled high with cookies. He is reminiscent of Rupert Murdoch. While pointing at the man with no cookies, the man with lots of cookies looks at the man with one cookie and says "Careful mate... That foreigner wants your cookie!"

Wait until he sees what Israeli bombs have done to apartment buildings in Gaza. He’s going to be outraged.
X post from @TimWilsonMP saying: Front page images of destroyed Israeli apartment buildings hit by Iranian bombs should horrify us all, and remind us of the importance of an enduring peace and the need to end all civilian casualties.

"Motivated sellers"
Last week, we reported new incentives that Tesla is offering in Australia to help it boost its sales this quarter. This includes an incentive for interested buyers of a new or demo Model Y who will receive an additional $2,000 off the price of that car when trading in a used vehicle. This is available until 30 September 2025.
