Marsupials previously thought extinct for millennia discovered in New Guinea The chances of finding one mammal species thought to be lost was โ€˜almost zeroโ€™ and finding two is โ€˜unprecedentedโ€™, biologist Tim Flannery says

'Sustainable oil palm' is a lie, but you knew that.

Look, being on board 'observing' war crimes is not the same as 'doing' war crimes, but it is an excellent bit for your future when the heavies from The Hague come a-knocking... you are prime position to rat them war crimers out, yeah?

Three Australians were onboard US submarine that sank Iranian warship, PM says Anthony Albanese confirms ADF members were on vessel but says โ€˜no Australian personnelโ€™ took part in attacks on Iran

He actually said Australians being on the sub is "one of the big pluses behind the Aukus arrangements". What the fuck are we doing

I wonder what their homework was in the wake of the sinking ...

So they didnโ€™t โ€œparticipateโ€, they justโ€ฆwatched? They watched as their co-crew members left people to drown at sea? Thatโ€™s in accordance with Australian law and Australian policy? I cannot even

The US were also invited to be part of this naval parade/exhibition, but withdrew and had its sub promptly torpedo the warship.

And left the sailors to drown.

Three Australians were on board the sub.

OK....

So hold on - no Australians have participated in offensive action against Iran, yet three submariners were on board the US sub that torpedoed the Iranian warship.

Remember, this warship was on its way back from India after being invited to take part in a friendly naval parade.

Now look into road construction money pouring into SD. I drove through on the interstate last summer and there was project after project, like every 10-20 miles. It all stopped at the MN border. Strange, right?

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

Inpex emissions 'systematically underestimated' since 2018, report finds An independent review into oil and gas company Inpex has found widespread and persistent failures in how emissions were calculated, recorded and reported, dating back to the start of production in 201...

Not only does the Australian Government give Japanese gas export giant Inpex all the gas it exports from Darwin FOR FREE, and lets them pay virtually no tax...

Inpex "systematically underestimated' by 40X leaks of cancer causing benzene near Darwin.

Consequences?

Dead set, how can you not call the first foul?

So many of the problems with the NBA right now go back to fouls not being called when they should, and when they would stop escalation.

How do the referees not make a call here?

Why QatarEnergyโ€™s LNG production halt could shake up global gas markets

By Andy Hirschfeld
QatarEnergy has suspended liquefied natural gas (LNG) production following a drone attack, straining the global LNG market.

On Monday, Iranian drones struck two sites, according to Qatarโ€™s Ministry of Defence: a water tank at a power plant in Mesaieed Industrial City and an energy facility in Ras Laffan belonging to QatarEnergy, the worldโ€™s largest LNG producer.

While no casualties were reported, QatarEnergy suspended the production of LNG and other products at the impacted sites for security reasons.

Qatarโ€™s LNG exports represent 20 percent of the global market. With fewer products reaching the market, LNG supply is down, causing prices to surge.

No links to Iran have been reported in the court proceedings so far but the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (Asio) says it has
"credible evidence" that Iran orchestrated the Sydney and Melbourne attacks.

Laulu was arrested in July and remains behind bars. Both are charged with arson, reckless conduct endangering life and car theft. Arson carries a potential sentence of 15 years in prison.
The other two charges are each punishable by 10 years in prison.
The crime was declared a terrorist act early in the investigation. Such a declaration increases resources available to the investigators.
No terrorism charges, which can carry longer prison sentences, have yet been laid.

Paterson then comes on and repeats the political - not legal - allegation that Iran is responsible for arson in Melbourne. The people arrested for those actions are not charged with terrorism offences. The โ€œevidenceโ€ is Mossad Says. The โ€œterrorismโ€ claim is a police declaration.

Pres Trump told me tonight the US had identified possible candidates to take over Iran, but they were killed in the initial attack.

"The attack was so successful it knocked out most of the candidates," Trump told me. "It's not going to be anybody that we were thinking of because they are all dead. Second or third place is dead."
