Poor, poor Linda. Does anyone other than herself feel sorry for her? Trying to play the victim card is only digging her reputation a deeper hole.

Yet another stupid, perhaps even reckless biosecurity decision that we may live to regret. Look at the history of prawn disease, nearly all the result of ineffective restrictions/protection for native Australian species.

‘I’d defend our nation’: Poles prepare for growing threat of war From digging trenches and building walls, to learning survival skills, Poland is increasingly aware of risks posed by its eastern neighbours

If it seems to you like every other article is about "war, war, war" you would be right. And it's for a very good reason. Because everything indicates that we — especially in Europe — are increasingly locked into a trajectory for total war in the coming decade. Proper planning and preparation.

The fossil fuels industry telling porkies about climate change? Who would have thought?

Is this an admission of guilt?

Unfortunately, the lunatic dictator doesn't want peace, no different to another lunatic dictator on the opposite side 8 decades ago, and that leaves only one likely outcome.

Apparently, Australia isn't the only place where energy grids need large investments that are passed on to consumers.

It was a stupid idea back then with young mothers who could not afford the ongoing costs and were not prepared for the responsibility jumping in for the $$$$. It is equally stupid to do it again but moreso. Build accomodation instead so expanding families have somewhere they can afford to live.

Capitalism wins over safety and environment every time until the big lose eventually hits.

It's the guns. Why is USA the only democratic country with shooting murders at this scale? It's the guns stupid, the guns.

Trump’s pardon of Honduras’s ex-president shows counter-drug effort is ‘based on lies and hypocrisy’ Why has Trump blown up alleged narco boats in the Caribbean and at the same time decided to let a big time trafficker off the hook?

Trump loves murdering brown people.

Both and more. Who gave the order to murder Venezuelan fishermen with no evidence that they were carrying drugs?

Just another mass execution but apparently it's not the guns.

While at the same time ordering the murder of non-combatants in Venezuela, accusing them without any proof of smuggling drugs. But it's not about drugs, it's all about the oil.

What ceasefire???

@cnn.com A reminder: Trump 1.0 ordered the Afghanistan withdrawal, and Trump 2.0 granted the shooter asylum this past April. Trump 2.0 also dismantled the joint terrorism task force, and gutted our national security apparatus.

Did we let South Africa back in before it reformed itself? Same should apply to Russia (and Israel).

When Israel breaks international law, what does Trump’s US do? Sanction the judges | Owen Jones Three ICC judges have been put on a list with terrorists after approving an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu. This is the charade of the ‘rules-based order’, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

MAGA is an international cancer. WHY does he give so much to Israel? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
