Live: Trump says US will 'avenge' fallen troops but more deaths 'likely' Donald Trump has said he would be talking to Iranian leaders following the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Follow live.

Humanity is now a quarter of the way through the 21c & it appears we've learnt nothing from the atrocities of the previous one. Attempted conflict resolution through weapons & violence. More futility in the pursuit of peace through war. More lives lost. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

A Queensland influencer allegedly poisoned her baby for fame. The father has just addressed it.

Qld Premier David Crisafulli to prosecute kids as adults for the crime of administering poison. Most notable case of this crime is the influencer who allegedly poisoned her daughter for funds. She was granted bail & matter is still with the courts. #qldpol www.mamamia.com.au/queensland-i...

Creen's speech reminds me an earlier speech by Arthur Calwell in 1965, opposing Australia's entry into the Vietnam War.

Simon Crean wagging a finger at GWB is one of the greatest moments in Australian politics.

I was living in his seat (Hotham) when he retired. Great guy.

CIA admits 1953 Iranian coup it backed was undemocratic The toppling of the prime minister Mohammad Mosaddeq and ensuing rule of the shah directly led to the 1979 Islamic Revolution

Iran had a democratically elected prime minister until the involvement of the UK & US in 1953. In 2013 the CIA admitted its role in the coup that brought down Iran’s then prime minister, Mohammad Mosaddeq. In 2023 the CIA admitted it was undemocratic. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023...

Twelve new offences added to QLD 'adult crime, adult time' policy Offences like unlawful stalking and conspiring to murder are among the 12 to be added to the Queensland government's third expansion of the "adult time, adult crime" policy.

Right on cue, Queensland Premier David Crisafulli back on his youth crime slogans with 12 more offences to prosecute kids as adults. This is the third legislative change on the subject in 16 months. #qldpol

It is possible for Australian leaders to tell US presidents they are wrong. There's different ways of saying it & they won't like any of them. Opposition Leader Simon Crean had his way; in the Australian parliament & to George W Bush's face. #auspol www.abc.net.au/news/2023-06...

Reflect on a time when Labor pollies had a spine, and some ethics.

In 1914 World War I was going to be "the war that will end war". We just need everybody on our side to get these couple of guys and then everything will be peaceful.

Here we are in 2026 just needing to get a couple of guys. It'll be peaceful after that.

Thousands of sharks can still access Qld beaches. For decades it's been known nets & drumlines don't create shark-free zones but now the 4yr drone data has been released under RTI. The Crisafulli govt still intends increasing nets & drumlines. #qldpol www.abc.net.au/news/2026-02...

Labeling him a "con-artist", Victoria's Secret CEO Les Wexner's deposition gives insight into Jeffrey Epstein's financing. With no formal financial qualifications, he stone-stepped to eventually acquire Wexner's jet & NYC house. Later that house became notorious with the crimes. youtu.be/kLbBqlIG1QI
