I have just watched PM Albanese’s full address to the UN General Assembly and came to the conclusion that Shari Markson is right: our PM did not say things that agreed with Trump. Hooray for Albanese and principled disagreement. #auspol

Justice Rangiah in his own words in Lattouf v ABC penalty decision.

The broadcaster has been ordered to pay $150,000. I was previously awarded $70,000 for hurt and distress.

ABC has spent in excess of $2 million on legal fees.

The real cost to Aunty is immeasurable.

Sore point.
My @smh @theage cartoon.

Two frames. Top: March of black-clad ultra nationalists with Aussie flags, placards saying “IMMIGRANTS GO HOME” “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE” “TOO MANY INDIANS”, facing lone reporter who says, “But aren’t you all descendants of migrants?” Lower frame, same scene with marchers with fists raised replying,”DON’T SAY THAT, BECAUSE IT IRRITATES ME…”

Journalist who won the prize Trump wants says US democracy 'on the edge of a cliff'

Intentionally attacking civilians like aid and rescue workers, and journalists, is a violation of international humanitarian law and a war crime.

The same processes are there in almost immediate history for us to see and learn from and yet we do not. It’s an enormous tragedy, unfolding on the screens in our hands. We will, I believe, soon see seriously painful consequences.

#VerySussssLey is pandering to the (my estimate) 10% of the (census information) 0.4% of the Australian population who are Jewish and support Israeli Zionism. Her grasp of politics is tenuous. She is desparately trying to seem relevant but is failing. Angus will be even worse #auspol

Ley has learnt nothing from the election. The dignified unity on foreign policy that use to be observed has been chucked out by the coalition in favour of quick headlines and pandering to the far-right. Are Libs now unelectable? #auspol

Albanese naive to think Hamas wouldn’t welcome Palestine shift

If Anthony Albanese thought the decision to recognise a Palestinian state would be a relatively smooth operation, he’s had a wake-up call.

Dutton was completely ignorant of Australian voters. Ley sees massive Palestine march and says “We will reverse recognition.” Ley’s not only ignorant of voters but apparently keen to destroy the Liberal Party. #auspol

Yep, happened to us in Europe. Connecting flight was late arriving. We were accommodated, fed, found flights back to Oz and compensated. Travel insurance co not interested; all achieved directly dealing with the airline. Should happen in Au as well.
