the Aust home affairs minister just told the ABC that meetings like one between Israeli President and Aust intelligence boss “happen all around the world” and “they keep people safe”. Which tells you who are considered “people” to our government.

Single frame. PM Albo and Penny Wong in Albo’s office sitting at coffee table, looking exhausted, Albo holding a beer. Portrait of John Howard on wall. Albo’s desk and shelves behind showing photo of him with Trump, football, rabbit, plaque saying “Social Cohesion”. Albo says, “Remember Saddam’s WMDs?” Wong says, “Good times.”

Guy alters my cartoon by AI in a way my workplace lawyers specifically advised me against, posts his version which violates my intellectual property. I ask him repeatedly to delete, he admits he doesn’t know how then tells me to provide the legal argument for him to do it.

While Bombing Iran, Trump Sends US Troops Into Ground War on Drugs in Ecuador | Common Dreams "Why is Trump attacking Ecuador?" asked one leftist news outlet. "Same reason he’s in Iran + Venezuela: oil 'secured' by force, sold as fighting a 'dictatorship' and/or 'drugs.'"

🇯🇵 Japan is facing a major energy security threat as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz collapses following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran.

The strait carries around 70-80% of Japan’s crude oil imports and about 10% of its LNG, according to Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI).

Major shipping companies including Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, NYK Line, and Kawasaki Kisen have halted Persian Gulf operations, and the conflict is also disrupting travel and markets. Flight schedules at Tokyo’s Narita Airport are uncertain. 

Tokyo says there is no immediate supply crisis because Japan holds roughly 254 days of oil reserves and utilities have about three weeks of LNG supply. But Bloomberg notes that a 25-day to one-month halt would force global production cuts and cause prices to "skyrocket."

ICYMI, tonight's #abc730 was even worse [from 9:25].

The genocidal rogue state's Dep Foreign Minister gets questions seemingly scripted in Tel Aviv.

Not *one* attempt to hold Israel to account.
For anything.

They contacted advertisers to make sure they knew about the grubby things he was saying on air.
Good riddance to him. I hope he is gone forever

The newly amalgamated Adelaide University brings utter shame upon itself in its first months of operation.

In a statement following this shocking act, it risibly claims it is a place where "exchange of ideas can happen freely".

Not if the ideas include a defence of the remaining Gazans, it seems.

Meta workers forced to review intimate videos taken by Ray-Ban smart glasses Read over those Terms of Service again.

Meta Glasses: your recordings aren’t private.

- 7M+ sold, nobody read the Terms of Service
- Offshore workers reviewed bathroom footage & nudity
- Meta: „it’s in the fine print“ 🤷

Better skipped the buy, not the Terms of Service. 👀
