"The animal had been caught by AM, by the side of a river in a High Conservation Value forest set-aside belonging to a palm oil company. He saw the animal on a branch and simply grabbed it," Flannery et al.

Interesting that available pictures of it are from a log dump, apparently clearing for an oil palm plantation.

Iranian Ship Was Leaving Indian Naval Exercise When Sunk, Raising Concerns in New Delhi The Iranian frigate sunk by a U.S. submarine last week had just left an Indian naval exercise. Now India's political opposition is demanding answers.

"The U.S. Navy sent no surface warship to (big-deal Indian naval exercise 'MILAN'). The guided-missile destroyer USS Pinckney had been slated to attend, but was diverted to Singapore on Feb. 15 before the exercise began, for reasons the Navy has not disclosed. "

If the effect of your precious international law is to keep more and more despots in power, actual crooks and mass killers, because 'sovereignty', then maybe it needs revising.

We're not talking geniuses on the other side though; that much has been demonstrated.

Meanwhile, I wouldn't be flying by in an exquisitely vulnerable civilian airliner, especially not one with certain branding. But we're talking short range, probably, maybe 50 - 100 km.

You'd think the Iranians might have secreted some anti-aircraft batteries in tunnels somewhere, waiting until the US gets sufficiently complacent.

'Double taps' (you know what I make of that term) are an Israeli tactic. These were Israeli missiles.

Isn't great when you can transfer the blame: 'Hey, it wasn't us...'

Guess not an ideal vessel for the task, but rules are you render assistance to those in distress at sea.

Reports are US submarine didn't even call in the situation to Sri Lankan search and rescue. The Iranian ship's crew managed to do that just before it sunk.

If haven't yet twigged that surface ships are now sitting ducks to a moderately sophisticated adversary, maybe check up on the Russia Black Sea fleet.

This private school tripled in size in five years β€” a trend playing out nationwide The latest schools data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows a tinderbox of problems that experts warn could explode with growing pressure on household budgets.

Under a Labor cabinet of majority private school graduates the private school sector is growing faster than ever, with insane levels of public funding for elitist, for profit & religious indoctrination schools.

Labor - for an unfair Australia.
