'Don't think they're appropriate': PM lashes public Khamenei memorials
Anthony Albanese says mourning Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is not appropriate on Australian soil as he sidesteps a big question on Donald Trump's actions.
Is it appropriate to mourn Khamenei? I don't know. Some feel it is. Was it appropriate to invite Isaac Herzog here? A lot of Australians didn't think so. If Trump died, would it be appropriate to break out the champagne? I would appropriate or not. #auspol

Are Australians losing their sense of direction due to phone apps?
Google Maps has made city driving a dream, but it's putting lives at risk in the bush. Meet the mapmakers taking on Australia's roughest roads to try to change that.
With my address, Google maps takes people to the garage in the back lane. Not to the actual street address. The other day, I helped a pizza delivery guy, who was standing in the back lane, very confused and looking at his phone. Couldn't figure out if there's a back, there's a front.

It is possible to hold two values simultaneously: that the Iranian regime is wretched and horrible, and that it is morally wrong to just militarily attack Iran with no direct provocation, killing many many innocents in the process.

Such a darling woman
When I interviewed her, she made me take the rest of her chocolate biscuits, (because she was on a diet) so she packed them into a bag and waved me off
I turned back to say goodbye and had a flashback to Grace Sullivan waving her sons off to war (at least she wasn't crying)

A quarter of Tasmanians to change electorates under voting boundary bid
Under proposed changes to Tasmania's electorates, Lyons would decrease in area while Clark would increase.
Certainly will shake things up a bit at both federal and state levels. I will go from Franklin to Clark. Interesting times ahead. #politas #auspol

Tasmanian state elections use the federal boundaries, and this distribution (if adopted) would have some significant implications for state MPs. A lot of them will now live in new electorates.

Tasmania's finances to 'rapidly deteriorate', Treasury warns
Tasmania's Department of Treasury and Finance has issued a dire warning about the state's finances, and says there are no easy fixes.
The Tasmanian government is going to have to raise revenue. No ifs, no buts, no maybes. Increase car registrations, land taxes, pokies taxes, charge the salmon companies licencing fees, and don't build a stadium we can't afford. #politas

Live: Labor doesn't rule out report Treasury modelling negative gearing changes
Labor frontbencher Mark Butler declines to shut the door on reports Treasury is modelling changes to negative gearing ahead of the budget. Follow live.
Jane Hume says, "ending negative gearing wouldn't increase housing supply." Carefully chosen words. Of course, more housing wouldn't miraculously appear, but investors leaving the housing market mean more homes for owner-occupiers. #auspol

Tasmania Police will wait for the Coroner to officially rule the remains are those of Celine Cremer. I assume the use of the word "provisional" is protocol. Even if there wasn't DNA testing here, a lab elsewhere in Australia would be utilised.
