Zachary Rolfe in bid for 'rare' appeal in Kumanjayi Walker inquest Former Northern Territory police officer Zachary Rolfe is considering an appeal of findings he was "racist" and ignored his training before fatally shooting an Aboriginal teenager in 2019.

By all means Mr Rolfe, come back for your hat.

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A diverse flight crew of a gay guy, a Black man, and a woman

A gay guy, a Black man, and a woman walk into a flight deckβ€” that’s not the beginning of a joke, but just a regular day at work! There was so much DEI on this plane that we could hardly get in the air. Luckily my limp wrists were able to wrestle the heavy jet back to the ground πŸ’…πŸΌ

A six-panel cartoon titled "real and implied birds". In the two panels in the top row, there's a rough legged-hawk sailing through the sky, next to a smooth legged hawk, which has smooth human legs. In the second row, there's a great-crested flycatcher looking dapper, next to an ok-crested flycatcher that has just a slightly less nice crest. In the third row, there's a mountain chickadee standing up on stones, next to a valley chickadee peeking out from a dip between stones. In the fourth row, there's a least bittern standing in some reeds, next to a most bittern that is enormous and stomping through a city, with people running in fear, helicopters overhead, and an overturned car on fire.
