The article describes hearsay from one person. And it also suggests that one person isn't very reliable.
It makes absolutely no sense that donors would leave AFTER the person they had trouble with had left.

Question: why would donors wait till after Harry left UK before stopping donations? If donors didn't like his behaviour, surely they would have pulled out while he was still there?

Israel has acted in bad faith throughout this conflict. It's time for it to act like a real civilised country and stop the oppression, aggression and land theft of Palestinians.

One wonders if the outrage is confected immediately before the election to strengthen the chances for certain Tasmanian MPs going up for re-election.
This has been a problem for many years.

It's like Trump or DoGE don't even know what agencies actually do (spoiler: USIoP does research and analysis,and training in things like diplomacy and mediation. It doesn't do the actual mediation to get peace - that's the job of the diplomats.)

It's a bit disingenuous for US to argue 'it spends more' when significant proportion of its expenditure has nothing to do with NATO but US actions in South America, Middle East, Asia Pacific etc. Most EU expenditure is in relation to NATO and defence of Europe.

Dept of Industry reported this week there is no forecast gas shortage, given dropping demand. Also, Dutton caveated his gas reserve proposal to only be percentage of gas not currently contracted.

Need to qualify Coalition gas reserve policy, as that is to apply only to gas not already contracted, so the reserve won't be based on percentage of all gas.

So let me get this straight. Hyundai has been discussing this with Louisiana governor since October, and Trump now claims this is the result of tariffs (even though he didn't raise tariffs with US manufacturers till after he came to power). Does he know Hyundai profits will go offshore?

A lot of this budget is business as usual. An appropriate pre election budget that doesn't give opposition much ammunition.

Alas, those people who are dogmatic (rusted-on to their ideology) won't care if something is true or misinformation. They will simply be looking for confirmation of their views.

They were asked to vacate a number of times up to 20 minutes. The staff got the pilot who came down and asked him to vacate. We are now at nearly 30 minutes (ie. Another 10 mins).
Have you ever flown? You'll know they don't have to break the lock (it's simple for staff to open)

Thankfully, the cybertruck can't be registered in Australia. It breaks too many safety standards.

'attacks passenger'?
Passenger was asked to vacate after 20 minutes. Pilot arrived after a further 10 minutes. Staff opened the door (they don't need to break it) - they feasibly assumed the guy was doing something bad, so they dragged him out and cuffed him.
Fully understandable
