Super changes will hit those with millions but they say the impact could be devastating
This farming family has millions in super but proposed reforms have left them in a position where they may have to sell the farm.

I was briefed on the intelligence last week.
Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon. The negotiations Israel scuttled with their strikes held the potential for success.

Lord! Someone must have put a bomb under Speers, or taken the muzzle off him. The Israili deputy PM got a fair grilling from him re Gaza. Of course, she ranted on about Israeli safety. Everyone else to blame. None starving in Gaza. All Hamas propaganda. She was the epitome of dreadful.

Stop this at 16 seconds. Clearly that officer aimed and shot her.
My producer sent this to me and off the headline I was like "oh right, so she got hit by a loose round"... but then when you see it... like, that officer saw she was a reporter and shot her ~on camera~. Absolutely wild. Hope @laurentomasi.bsky.social is ok.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process.
So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel.
Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…

As the horror in Gaza escalates, it looks like ABC has chosen to supress a crucial Palestinian voice.
The ABC should explain why.

Last Monday the UK, Canada and France deliberately issued the strongest joint statement to date about what they said was the “intolerable” level of human suffering in Gaza.
It is a further sign that many of our good friends in the international community remain aghast at the treatment of innocent civilians in Gaza. It was an important stand by them. Australia could have proudly joined them. We didn’t.
